She looks terrible and unconvincing in the action scenes. Shes as bad as Scar Jo as Black Widow and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Shes also playing Huntress in Birds of Prey. Wish Hollywood stop casting these underweight women in action roles and cast more legit badasses and athletic women like Gina Carano instead.
shareAll those women do fine.
It's kind of an uphill battle making it look convincing when a 120 pound woman beats the stuffing out of a guy or guys twice her size who are supposedly trained killers, but oh well.
Thats the problem,these 100 pound women don't look convincing defeating a 6'0 tall near 200 pound athletic bad guy.
We got Gina Carano for roles like this. Jessica Biel used to look athletic, Winstead looks like a 100 pound effeminate man
Acting wise, she's okay. But, yeah, Hollywood refuses to cast any woman unless they are thin and relatively shapeless. Gina Carano is the only actress I can think of who is credible sending dudes over themselves. But, she is an MMA fighter.
If you are highly proficient at martial arts, it is possible, in that you are using someone's energy against them. So, if they are charging you, you can grab them and send that person over you.
As I have said on here (don't want to sound redundant), I think that thin women are cast, because: Too many men are threatened by curvy women, and too many women are threatened by those same kind of women because they think that they are more likely to "steal" their men.
They should have them use Judo, that's the only way it could be convincing
shareI thought she did fine. While still not realistic(pretty much any fight where an average sized woman beats a male trained soldier), yet the fight was more gritty and realistic than the typical "action girl" movie/tv fight you'll see where 100 pound women defeat men twice their size without breaking a sweat.
shareEven there she looks unbelievable. I wouldn't trust this girl to back me up
shareGal Godot COMPLETELY sold Wonder Woman. She was passionate and ferocious. She embarrassed Superman and Batman in B v S. Remember, Wonder Woman’s strength comes from magic, not from her anatomy.
I agree with everything else you said, though, especially about the need to make Gina Carano a Star. She’s a modern Cynthia Rothrock.
Gal's bad acting was an embarrassment. Wonder Woman is still athetic so don't use that straw cause most of the actresses playing Amazons looked physically stronger than her
shareDisagree completely on your assessment of acting skills, and I’m entirely satisfied with my conclusions. Amazons derive their strength from magic. The bulk of their muscles is entirely irrelevant. And the wording is “than she.”
I am done with you, unschooled child.
Ignore
Shes a bad actress she sounded like a robot and can't do an American Accent either. Amazons are still strong and she for whatever isn't while the others are. This isn't school and doesn't change anything. In other words you loss
share"can't do an American Accent either"
Maybe because Amazons are Greek???
1. In the comics she passes off as American worked as a nurse and later would help Steve Trevor on his missions
2. If they are Greek why does Gal use an Israeli accent? Cause she can't do another accent. Greeks and Isrealis don't sound alike.
Really skinny white women beating up men two and half times their size has been the rage in both tv and movies for quite some time now. You pretty much can't see an action movie without it these days.
shareshe reminded me abit of 'Aliens' era Sigourney Weaver in this. maybe they can get her to do that sequel to 'Aliens' (with Sebastian Stan as Hicks)
shareDoes anyone else hate women winning fights in movies? Does anyone else like Gina Carano (she's one of the only good women in hollywood)?
