The director of wonder woman is quick to play the female card and claim everything Cameron says is false because he's not a woman and simply doesn't know what it means to be a woman and should not even begin to think he does.
But he's right. Wonder Woman has been sexualized in the new movies.
mind you...
Now I haven't seen wonder woman, but I don't really need to. All the new wonder woman has been in the zack snyder movies is fan service topia.
I watch a lot of fan service, I've built my entire artistic life on fan service and porn, I can tell you when a female is being sexualized for boner-dome.
The director of wonderwoman says women can be sexy and still be strong and complex and that james cameron is a big poopie head for not being female and wanting people to focus more on personality and drama than the boobs and ass.
So yeah, I have to say it's not looking good nor does the director's own counter argument really make a better case than Cameron's. Cameron's arguing FOR feminism. FOR focusing on females as PEOPLE, not BODIES.
And everyone's crucifying him for it, even a woman... Can this get anymore bizarre?
I have to say, yeah, I don't give a shit. If a movie's got a female lead and she's more than just boobs, ok. If it's nothing but boobs, that's ok too. I've gotten kinda more exposed to girls these days. Some are not ashamed of being hot and others are, you never know what you're gonna get.
I do like movies that try or attempt to give girls more depth, shockingly, I'm a HUGE fan of girls, I like seeing girls and knowing who they are, what makes them tick, it's good stuff, and I think Cameron does too. To see modern Female lead movie not offer a character of depth and interest must disappoint him as someone who's broken the mold on female leads so many times...
All that said, I kinda want to think about what movies I've personally seen with actual good interesting female leads who aren't just tits...
Sadly, yeah I think Cameron would have been safer pointing out that Alien Covenant's lead SUCKED DICK, might as well have. I was offended by how empty her character was and just existed to give us anime nipple fan service. Fucking LITERALLY:
Those two nipples are HER WHOLE CHARACTER.
And that's a shame. I have met some very complex interesting women in the past few years. It's possible to yes, have the nipples poppin like mary, but make her far more interesting beyond it.
As for movies that feature females who I personally think are interesting, Rey in star wars force awakens I dare say did a lot more for girls in movies than wonder woman did. And that's interesting, star wars has never had a female lead, EVER. This is a giant reason why the movie's daring, though it's not as good as it could have been.
I've yet to fully sit through ghost in the shell, but I'm actually enjoying it and feel it gets the character of Major.
Always had a fondness for Leia and she really to me represented girls better back in her time than they do these days. Even when Leia was in the bikini, you still KNEW who she was, and knew how much of a bitch she was. So yeah, that's what cameron's complaining about, we don't know this bitch, we just SEE this bitch's tits.
What else, kinda having a tip of the tounge moment... but yeah, there are others I've seen recently and liked quite a bit. Lucy Lawless is still very good at what she does as a tough female.
What else, Rogue One actually, though she was about as complex as Cardboard, amazingly made it to the end of the movie without losing half her clothes for some reason, would have been better if she did though. What a waste of a fine looking babe
Yeah man, that's all I really can think of, there haven't been much female oriented films, I mean there are quite a few and have been several but they're mostly independed shit, not really main stream. What cameron envisions is that female centric movies DO get more potential viewership in the main stream and Wonder Woman failed to leap beyond the fan service stuff, that's his complaint....
