who came up with that idea?? earlier movies used have strong male characters who looked and acted the part of a strong protagonist. not skinny bitches showing attitude and doing stunts is not only funny but pathetic.
why they giving too much importance to women is beyond me.
fuck feminists and their movies.
Since when have strong female characters NOT been a part of this series?
shareI SEE YOUR MOM TURNED YOUR INTERNET BACK ON...GOOD FOR YOU.
shareAs above male or female makes no difference as this film was just trash anyway.
You can tell this is written and made for the woke crowd who didn't go and see it anyway, Hollywood will eventually learn one day but until then this is unfortunatey the type of film we will be getting from now on.
The issue I have is it is not even remotely believable. Fighting for the species no woman woud be in charge let alone fighting. That isn't sexist that is biology. Men would fight while the woman would be protected to raise the future of the human race to continue the fight. Again that isn't sexist that is just how it is, look at previous wars, don't see many woman do you.
NO...THAT IS DISTINCTLY SEXIST...IF YOU WANT TO BE ARCHIE BUNKER,GRAB A TIME MACHINE AND HEAD BACK YO THOSE PREVIOUS WARS.
share"THAT IS DISTINCTLY SEXIST"
No it isn't. Woman didn't fight in World War 1, no woman were on the front lines in World War 2. No Woman fought in the Boar War.
So again, no it isn't.
Be woke on your own time and stop trying to change history to fit your narrative.
If World War 3 broke out tomorrow even in todays world it would be 100% men fighting on the front lines. Military woman would be in support roles.
Woman are not even entered into the draft.
So for the 3rd time no it isn't sexist.
CHANGE HISTORY?...FOR REAL KIDDO?...UH UH...HISTORY IS SET...THIS IS THE NOW...AND SEEING AS HOW MY SISTER DID 2 TOURS IN THE MIDDLE EAST ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO...WELL,YOU BE WRONG...THROWING THE "WOKE" WORD AROUND REMINDS PEOPLE YOUR TESTICLES ARE YET TO DESCEND.
shareInsults i see.
Woman didn't fight in World War 1, no woman were on the front lines in World War 2. That is a fact that cannot be changed. Wars are fought by men plain and simple.
You could probably count on one hand how many woman have seen combat in the last 100 years.
No arguments, just insults.
End of discussion because you have nothing to bring.
NOTHING TO BRING...YOU KEEP TELLING ME ABOUT HISTORY...OLD ASS FACTS...WWII,REALLY? MY GRANDFATHER WAS IN WWII.HE DIED IN 1994...MY DAD WAS A HIPPIE WAR PROTESTER DURING NAM..HE IS PUSHING 70...HOW DOES TELLING ME THAT NO AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE ALLOWED AT THE FRONT OF THE BUS PROVE THAT THEY ARE TERRIBLE DRIVERS?
shareWoman not entered into the draft.
"Even the Army's own research shows that less than 5% of the 7,000 women serving in British Army would pass the current tests to join the infantry."
Many woman serve in the armed forces, great, well done. But don't think they are front line infantry. Very few woman are even capable of passing the physical tests to be infantry. Hence the term front line support. Since the lift of the ban only 1 woman has passed the royal marines entry test in 10 years here in England and she won't serve, it was just to prove she could do it.
Fighting for the species, woman and children would be the most protected people. You are thinking modern identity politics not what it would take to keep the species going.
The fact it is in the future and machines doesn't change the fact of how war is done. You are only as effective as your slowest, weakest member.
My Brother has served for 30 years. Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and he can count on one hand how many woman he has seen in combat roles and again they were support roles.
So again i'm not sexist no matter how much you scream with your caps. I just say as it is.
I agree with you, sokar. But at the same time I'm thinking that, in the movie, maybe they're so much on the verge of extinction that they just take whatever few humans capable of fighting and put them on the battle front or else humanity just dies forever. Kind of like "Ok, you.. you are pregnant, we protect you, everyone else, come with us and fight or we can kiss ourselves as a species goodbye."
The survival of the current specimens of the species is the prime directive here. I mean, what good is it to protect women for future nurturing of babies if we all die. Right?
^^
This. They needed EVERYBODY. Any time they recruited or rescued a human, it added to their numbers.
Men are better at war, but you still need A LOT of support roles for them. Also, sheer strength only goes so far when you're fighting machines of very high strength. It's not unlike what we have now. In the past, men did more of the farming and other laborious work. Nowadays, we have machines and technology that do the work, which negates much of the strength advantage.
" look at previous wars, don't see many woman do you."
er hello , this is in the future?
women are now allowed in all branches of the military , as well as being fire fighters and police officers.
Two women police were shot dead here in the UK a few years ago - just like real men!
So whose to say in *the future* women wont fight?
especially were theres a limited pool of irradiated survivors to pick from?
also this woman is a mechanically augmented super soldier who could really fuck your shit up, as she put it.
the killer-robots, looked like men?
shareI too felt a feminist vibe. But it did not bother me that much, though. It still find it followed a certain narrative that we currently find in the feminist movement that we can find in some written media: that the "men age" failed and the solution is to put women in charge everywhere (I think that's trash as I don't think competence has a gender). So it's like in the first time line, the male savior failed, so now, the real hope for a new future resides in a woman.
I think I wouldn't even have thought about it if they didn't make Arnold disappear a little bit at one point. It sort of hit me with this sequence when we see the 3 strong badass women, walking together, toward that evil man machine that wants to eliminate the resistance by killing Dani.
The T-800/Carl did help.. but he was old and obsolete.
So, if I stretch it even further, this movie portrays men as either failing (John), evil and violent (Rev-9) or friendly docile tools (T-800).
I don't think it was that obvious or shocking, though. It was just typical me extrapolating an idea. As someone wrote earlier, the Terminator franchise always kind of had strong female characters.
LMAO...CUTE KID...
