Did you notice the one common denominator in both those accounts? The articles you linked all took place in the 1800s, AFTER Prey takes place. Before the 1800s it was unheard if im the Commanche nation rhat is depicted in this film. Stop trying to shoehorn. According to the historical record, NO COMANCHE WOMAN was a warrior.
Oh, my source is this: [url]https://www.theclassroom.com/what-were-the-roles-of-men-women-in-the-comanche-tribe-12084080.html[/url]
Well I'm both a woman and have Indian blood in me. My family has Mohawk blood in them. So I guess I'm dismissed because I just don't like the film.
If this "story" takes place in 1719, the roles of women in the Comanche nation were not as warriors, or even warrior-wannabes. Men and women within the tribe had specific roles that did not include this film's WOKENESS. Here are the [b]FACTS[/b] of that time:
[quote]Men and women among the Comanche Indians held distinct roles. The bands of Comanche that roamed the Great Plains area of the United States in the 19th century adhered to a traditional division of labor, which left women in charge of work related to home and family, while men hunted and fought. Additionally, high-ranking men engaged in trade with Europeans, Mexicans and Americans, often to sell back kidnapped relatives and dignitaries.
Men - Hunting and Herding
Young men tended the tribe's flocks and trained for manhood. Coming-of-age meant the responsibility of fishing and hunting elk, buffalo and other game. After the Comanche acquired horses, they expected their young men to learn horse-riding skills, which could be used both for tracking animals and herding. The Comanche were considered the best horsemen among the Plains Indians.
Men - Warfare
The Comanche used their horses most notably for warfare. Their young men trained to use bows and arrows and spears and shields made from buffalo hide. If rifles were available, the arts of marksmanship had to be learned, as well. Horse-mounted Comanche men went on raids that extended as far south as the jungles of Mexico. On these raids, which might last for months, men occupied themselves with acquiring the transportable goods of whichever people they fought.
Men - Trade
Among the transportable goods the Comanche acquired on these raids were members of other tribes or citizens from Mexico or the United States. High-ranking Comanche men accompanied the armed groups that led these captives to meeting places with relatives and/or diplomats and exchanged them for money or other goods. These high-ranking men were from among the elite leadership of each tribe. A man could rise to such rank by exhibiting prowess in combat.
Women - Gathering Food and Cooking
The Comanche were hunters and gatherers and, as was often the case with such cultures, women were in charge of the gathering. Since the Comanche were a polygamous society, one or more women might be attached to a single man and care for him by collecting nuts, berries and other wild vegetation near their camp. Women prepared meals for their men with the food they gathered and the meat brought home by hunters.
Women - The Home
Women were also responsible for the home, which was usually a tee pee made form hides and wood. They did not simply clean the home. Women had to actually build the tee pee, even if that meant carrying heavy wood and erecting the structure themselves. They were also charged with raising children. Men would take charge of older boys, but women raised the girls and prepared them for marriage and motherhood.[/quote]
These are immutable facts and cannot be changed to the satisfaction of a [b]WOKE[/b] narrative.
As for the comparrison between Billy and this girl, they're valid. No amount of shoving this crap in the watcher's face has any semblance of truth. Billy was an experience warrior who also had Navy SEAL training. He "might" have set himself up as a sacrifice, but his death and action is far more right than this film's allegation a small, frail looking girl can go after a predator two times her size with the lack of fighting skills she had. Tying a rope to a hatchet is not skill. Having high calibre weapons and many clips didn't make a dent in the Predator Dutch and his men faced. A hatchet, bow and arrow, a flintlock pistol? Really? They dumbed down the Predator just so the girl could come out victorious. Sickening.
Yes, it was forced wokeness. Why didn't they have the whole tribe working together to kill it? Why couldn't they have had the siblings work, man and woman, together to kill it. The brother went down awfully quickly if you ask me. And yes, the girl was the only one who knew how to take the predator down. As if. Hell if Billy in the original couldn't do it considering how big he was with all the knowledge he had being a tracker, how did this small framed girl do it with next to no training? Billy was far more able, but he was taken out just as good as Dillon, Hawkins, Blaine, Mac, and Poncho were. The only one the original predator didn't take down was Anna....no threat.
Oh, loved the supposed call back to, "If it bleeds, we can kill it." As if that will make this largely uneventful film any better. And before you jump on me for being a "guy threatened by a woman's narrative," I'm a woman and even I thought it woke propaganda.
There's Carey Jones who played the Black Krrsantan in "The Book of Boba Fett" and Ian Wyte who played Wun-Wun on "Game of Thrones".
Agreed.
Bucky deserved the shield way more than Sam. Leave Sam as Falcon.
👍😊
Cap, Tony, Thor, Nat, Banner, and Clint.
Avengers without the original six is just not The Avengers.
What we criticized with Ingram was her lack of talent, not her skin colour. Oh and the fact her character was stronger and better than the titular character. That's where the criticism came from.
Mia Farrow dis the same with he sons Fand Ronan. In fact she used to sleep nude with Ronan. This was confirmed by her son Moses. So Mr. "Moral high ground Pulitzer-winning and Ace Woman Defender" slept naked with his mother, who was also naked and he wants us to see him and her as some kind of moral centered individual?
I'm a woman and I preferred thos film to the idiotic prequel despite the fact Kristofer Hijvu was in it. Sometimes ya just gotta let boys be boys and leave women OUT! On the audio commentary of the film John Carpenter and Kurt Russell said there was only one woman in the crew.
The film was perfect without a woman in it. And Winstead was bad in the prequel. Just bad.
Not so much when it came to Freddie Mercury. He, Roger and John all have Freddie portrayed as an out-of-control gay man in Bohemian Rhapsody. Most of yhe time Freddie was at home with his cats, eating potato chips and watching the telly.
Even Bill himself said he's not playing Barlow. That's straight from his own mouth. He's said it twice in some interviews online.
And what do you think Sasha and Malia Obama were called? Amy Carter? Chelsea Clinton?
Where is Alex Lifeson from Rush in there? Universally Lifeson is never given the proper respect he sold be given.
Amanda was a third grade teacher. That would have been the same age as David's son. And the casting was a mix of good chemistry.
No. David was married and was trying desperately to get home to his wife. I believe Amanda was new in town and had only been introduced to David that day, so no. It was survival.
