Whaaaat? You mean insulting your primary target audience doesn't lead to profits? Who would have thought......

The weirdest argument in defense of Holdo I've heard was that "She's in command so everyone has to listen." A Commanding Officers job is to make the best orders and decisions in a situation for effective deployment of resources. That entails having as near a complete idea of what's going on from the officers in charge of other parts of a ship. The Engineering officer, the Ordinance officer, the Signals and Comms officer, all of them feed information to the CO and XO to ensure the best decisions are made. On top of that, COs are supposed to listen and weigh the concerns of their subordinates against the mission, make decisions and EXPLAIN the reason to their subordinates to ensure everyone understands their overall goal. Holdo had no obligation to tell everyone on the ship what was going on, but her subordinate officers enacting her orders across a ship should have, at a minimum, understood what's going on and why. Star Trek has on many occasions pointed out the how and why of command structure, and I feel like that's an important part of selling the New Republic, the Rebellion, and the Imperial Remnants as serious military powers in Star Wars. But that'd require homework and research that most modern Hollywood writers either would find problematic or "too in-depth to be entertaining."

yeah I agree, that doesn't make Holdo look good at all or be in the right. Like wait if you should listen to the people in charge. Wouldn't that mean no one should rebel against the empire. Given they are the people in charge? Which there was also that one general from the clone wars, who when out of their way to kill the clone troopers. For they were secretly a traitor. a event that was still canon even under disney. Which heck other fictional media has show why this is also a bad idea. Woot your underling beat back the big bad guy and his army. Oh wait that ruin the plan, for the big bad guy escaped. For the general fail to explain what their intent was. It was to push back the big bad guy to an area of their choosing, so they can encircle them and crush them fully. For they wanted to end the threat for good, rather than let the bad guy escape and give them the chance to rise another army that they will have to be dealt with later. Which sure sometimes keeping a secret can work. To surprise a foe. In this case it like. Wow, you kept things so much of a secret. People had no idea what to do and were running around like headless chickens. Creating such a massive amount of mistrust, most of the crew turn against her.

I appreciate and respect the men in my life. I don't enjoy watching man bashing.

A shame the writers of this Drek never watched “Ichi,” “Nikita” or “Hanna” or even, “Salt” for strong female characters who are effeminate and quite relatable. Instead, the “modern” strong female characters are more masculine than the male characters and the sheep are beyond terrified.

I came across a compilation video on Facebook titled “The Difference Between Boys and Girls” in the videos we see Adults playing pranks on their kids. Every single young girl retaliated violently against the adults many were their own mothers. While the boys laughed it off and didn’t retaliate. Of course in the comment section the majority of every comment from women, praised the girls for their reaction while ignoring the respect the boys paid to the adults in the room. Especially their mothers.

Finn was destroyed in Star Wars and I definitely hated it. Female characters today are not the same anymore but they don’t face any challenges. I also believe when characters like Iceman, Tim Drake and Allen Scott are change in their history they are destroyed because they are written weak in stereotypes. Also this behavior is damaging to women too because once again look at Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown’s relationship and how it was destroyed by Megan Fritzmartin. Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown won’t be able to recover from this for at least few years. The same thing with Bruce and Selena relationship; look how Selena took Bruce’s money and destroyed his life. She faced no consequences or repercussions for her behaviors.

I don’t know. I think people just can’t take a joke anymore.

Did you hear about season 4 of Tue Detective? A bunch of scientists are murdered at the start of the season and the mystery of who killed them is the main theme of the season. It turns out that some Native American protestor broke into their lab and destroyed their research which had massive benefits for the world. The scientists then kill this woman and cover it up. Six years later all the Native Women (no men) in the town form a mob and go kill the researchers in one of the most inhumane ways possible. The two cops in the show who are also women then proceed to cover it up. This is after they torture a male witness who they have yet to determine is actually guilty. So, the whole theme of the show is mob justice and murder are okay when women do it. It's misandry on steroids.

Toxic Crusader: I am a toxic male and proud of it. When I arrive in town, there is DANCING IN THE STREETS, baby.

So I’m really happy with this video. I’m glad that you to a degree understand the problem with the girl boss crap and that there are amazing stories with female characters. Cause I’ve heard a few people say that women can’t write good stories. It’s the relationship stuff we enjoy. I’ve got internet friends that Love the Flash’s Rogues. Absolutely love them. Which is so funny because the Rogues mostly are a bunch of Dogs, and depending on who you’re talking about not the most morally upright people, but there differing personalities and team work as well as their dynamic between them is so enjoyable to read. That’s something a lot of people don’t seem to understand. We like action and adventure but things that often brings us back to the show time and time again are the characters, and how they interact with each other. In the tv show Elementary Watson and Holmes are just best friends. Through out the series we got a bunch of situations that were great without the usual romantic drama you see in a lot of other shows. Holmes problems with his family and drug addiction. Watson dealing with Holmes and her own family. Some of the most enjoyable moments were there need to protect each other and the hugs… because Holmes doesn’t do hugs. It’s great and I just wish that was something they would be willing to do more often in tv shows. A great Romantic tv show for me personally would have to be the adaptation of The Story of Ming Lan it’s a Chinese Drama and I understand if people wouldn’t want to watch it, but the way they did it was just amazing. Ming Lan (Female Lead) dealing with her family and trying to make her mother’s killer pay. Then being married and dealing with the situations that come with marriage. Gu Tingye (Male Lead) dealing with his family and his realization that women are underhanded people at times. The growth of both characters and I personally think one of the best relationship problems a writer has ever written. Was Gu Tingye being upset that his wife doesn’t get overly emotional. She doesn’t get jealous or angry and it’s both great and absolutely hilarious because everyone thinks he’s weird for being happy that she’s upset, but to him if she’s upset that means she cares about him. Anyway there’s a lot there for both tv series and the different characters and the dynamics and honestly wish Comic writers cared about that more. Criminal Minds didn’t lessen as a psychological horror show because it had relationships in it. Those relationships just made it better.🧐

Jenna Ortega and Elle Fanning have talked about this type of stuff, man! Female characters are written terribly, and nobody knows a thing about them! It's insane! Good conversation, gentlemen! Keep it up!

There's an actual mantra being worshipped in Hollywood: Male and Pale is Stale. This is dictating everything in the Entertainment. From Gaming to Comics to Movies, Books and Shows. Madame Webb has the women dress down to 'avoid the male gaze', that's pretty woke, Aaron. Would also like to point out: When men controlled Star Wars (And other franchises) everyone, men and women, love it. When women control Star Wars, no one likes it. Seems like we're seeing a pattern no one wants to believe...

My simple fix for Holdo: rather than withholding information from Poe simply because he's a man or low-rank or whatever, explain that she's deliberately _compartmentalizing information_ (a common military strategy) due to concerns they have a spy/mole on board who is relaying their position to the First Order. This would've been a reasonable assumption, given the Resistance wouldn't know about "hyperspace tracking" (which is a stupid concept itself but whatever). Now if they _really_ wanted to tell a good story, they would've made Finn that spy, acting unwittingly due to his brainwashing. At least it would've given his character a purpose in the plot, and set him up to either a) overcome his brainwashing, b) die tragically, or c) both; anything more interesting than what ultimately happened with his character.

Excellent points, boys. Yeah, Ellen Ripley was great because she had heart despite seeing such disturbing things happening. Her empathy overruled her anger and fear, its what made her go back for Newt. Hell, even the T-800 in T2 learned to be a warmer, paternal figure toward John Connor. Today's girlboss characters are written so flat, have no appealing or sympathetic qualities and shun anything that is feminine. They're written as men. And men in bad movies at that.

I can’t begin to tell you how much I loved this. Just about every point you guys made I’ve said before or agree with. I tired of toxic feminists bullying everyone. Totally being the thing they accuse everyone else of being. At no point in time did I believe ruby rose’s character was going to be a threat to John.

Holdo is worst than you even detail here. She insults Poe in front of everyone. The man who just saved the whole fleet from being destroy. Which if you throw in comics, it gets even worst. Given the limited fuel they do have for their ships. Was Poe's doing. Which later they try and play it off as if she liked Poe the whole time. With them treating Poe like a silly child, as if Holdo actions that lead to people dying, as if a rebellion against a bad leader was no big deal. When historically, stuff like this has destroy morale and created bonds of mistrust that would last for ages. Good thing most people died. With the lesson seems to be, Poe needs to listen to authority and never question it. Going by that logic, the star wars movies shouldn't exist at all. Which Poe asked what he should do and she still refused to give an answer. She was keeping things secret for no reason. When the plan is finally reveal. Poe is on board with it, he would of gone along with it. If she just told him, avoiding alot of issues. The movie gives us zero reason to believe her keeping the plan a secret is a good idea at all. Which also, almost the whole crew turn against her. Showing her keeping it a secret was a bad idea. Which also when they reveal the plan. How the heck were they planning on keeping ships flying through space, not be notice? When she does do the whole hyper space ramming thing. Not only does it break the setting, it brings up a question. If this was possible, why didn't you do this before you lost all your other ships? You could of send one of the ships that got destroy, due to running out of fuel, against the first order fleet. Letting them come out ahead, in terms of manpower and ships. They don't even properly retcon it in the next movie. They just say it can't be done for reasons, when a character brings up why don't we do that again, against this large group of tightly packed ships. Also the first order was stupid. They could of done what the empire did in a empire strikes back. Figure out where the rebels are going and cut them off in advance. That or call in reinforcements, to cut off the rebels. Given over night they seem to have taken over the galaxy somehow.

We're in the grand finale of the arc where the CIA inserted Gloria Steinhem (sp?) into the feminist movement specifically to change it from an equality based unifying working class movement to a misandry based professional managerial class movement designed to sow hatred and division among the working class. But that conversation and the documented history of intelligence agency social conditioning and manipulation is probably well outside the scope of conversation for a comic book channel and I'd be willing to bet outside the interest of either you or Aaron. But that is where your problem started and why it has so much power despite everyone sane rejecting the principle en masse because it's obviously bigotry.

14:47 John Wick clearly limits the gender strength difference from John Wick 1. If you think of it like an anime world, which does a similar thing in many of its stories you can easily see this. The reality of the world starts to go away by the end of the first movie, and also if you pay attention to each subsequent movie John talks less and degrades over time to the inevitable conclusion of the series. This isn’t anyone making a girl boss out of a 100lbs waif. It’s expressing that the individual is able to stand up to our protagonist due her skill and training, while John has a weakness for not trying to kill girls unless he has to. This happens to him in the first two movies.

Pedro didn´t throw any tantrums because of the helmet. This is a slander spread by DisGrace. He was backstabbed by Felony and KK and bullied out of his own show because he didn´t agree with the massive rewrites of S3 which were done to shoehorn Bo-Karen, the irredeemable villain, as a her-o insted of the real hero. There was some info about 2 years ago Pedro will remove his helmet more often in S3. There was an interview where Pedro talked about it. It was on KZread somewhere but it probably got deleted to cover up DiSSney´s shady moves. Din removing his helmet more in S3 would make sense if his story from the underdog to the ruler was finished as originally planned. He won the darksaber and that was supposed to lead to the clans uniting with one basic creed for all of them. So getting rid of the helmet rule would make sense. He met Mandos from other clan and Boba, which made him realize the helmet rule is not the most important thing which makes someone a Mandalorian. He was put into situations which forced him to rethink the helmet rule through the S2, including the conflict between keeping the helmet on and not saving Grogu, or removing it and saving Grogu. And he is the main character for God´s sake! He is literally called "THE Mandalorian" in the subtitles! They sidelined him and put Booo on his rightful and earned place after all of her atrocities, lies and manipulations. She is not even a character, she is "whaamen can do nothing wrong" pr0pagand4 device hammered like a square peg into a round hole with a hydraulic hammer. Any normal person would protest these t0xic rewrites of a great story. I´m disappointed Pedro didn´t protest MORE and didn´t just walk away like Henry Cavill from The Witcher. His contract has to be terrible. BTW it was a contract for 4 seasons where he was supposed to be the main hero. That was the original deal. So IMO he should sue DiSSney for breaking it and hammering the parasite Bo-Karen/Suckhoff into Din´s/his rightful place.
