Could you do a character dissection of Ben Wyatt? The most normal male character ever written? When I say he’s normal I don’t mean bland, I mean he’s not a goofball, a meat head, or a jerk, but a normal guy who reflects a lot males today, nerdy, hard working, loves his friends, fully supports his wife, sticks to his work until it’s done, and isn’t afraid to be himself. He’s the only male character I’ve fully identified with.

Gina M IMO Donna is rude and materialistic up until the last season. She does things that are nice but it’s ruined by her standoffishness, materialism, and brashness. She is constantly bitching about Leslie on Twitter. Even if she sometimes tweets nice things about her, that doesn’t excuse the act of putting such terrible thing out there about a sweet person who is supposed to be your friend. In many parts of the show, it is shown that Donna often toys with the hearts of men who like her, which is wrong. Don’t fool around with peoples hearts, that’s a terrible thing to do. It’s true that sometimes she is helpful and willing to do things for others, but those times don’t outweigh her horrible attitude and rude demeanor, and the way she constantly denigrates the people around her. At least for me. I don’t like her lol but I can acknowledge that she does some redeemable things, but those things don’t redeem her enough imo. Just my opinion 😅

It’s kinda sad how those traits are always automatically paired with ambition. But even when I see people in real life with these traits it’s a turn off. You don’t have to be cold, crass, and standoffish to be an ambitious person.

*Writers, directors and people in general, should LEARN from Leslie Knope's character how a female lead should be written and expressed through media / literature.* Not through overexagerated tragedy, not a princess acting like a tomboy, nor being a badass warrior that can kick any man down. Just by writing and treating women like any human being. An individual with emotions and layers. But never reduced by just simple act or quirk. Because Leslie Knope, is flawed, dorky, hardworking and inspired her own strenght through feminity and ambitions without losing herself onto it. She always want to do the right thing and cares about Pawnee. Likes eating waffles, believe in the goverment and tends to be overdramatic. But by end of the day, she is a human. Like any of us, with relatable struggles and emotions. *EDIT:* Wanna add another thing. Thanks by a comment. Females characters that are warriors, villains, lovers or friends, queens, soldier of any position of power or normal people thar can do wonderful fears are ALSO good female characters. My two cents, is just as long, such individuals aren't reduced by TV tropes, cliches or stereotypes, I'm okay with that. Just as this resume video says, not all heroes need to wear a cape. Sometimes, simple by working in a park deparment.

I love Galentine's Day. I love that it was NOT scheduled for Valentine's Day. So many shows have their "strong female character" celebrate an anti-Valentine's Day, inviting all the single women to support each other and complain about men. But this plays into the age-old trope of single ladies hating married/partnered ladies, plus a new trope of seeing women who settle down as "failures" of feminism. Galentine's Day (& Leslie Knope) celebrates women in every step of their life. Also, while writing this I somehow (???) thought about Tammy 2, and how she's an interesting inversion of the "crazy stalker woman" trope. I honestly might die when/if you guys put out a Ron Swanson analysis.

@sahithyasudhakar3015

4 жыл бұрын

I feel like tammy 2 breaks the trope because Ron goes just as crazy as her and Leslie and Ron’s other friends are trying to get him out of the toxic relationship.

Chief Trumple: Leslie Knope gets as many favors as she needs. Ben: May I ask why? Chief Trumple: Because she's the kind of person who uses favors to help other people. This sums up Leslie Knope so perfectly. She's high strung and ridiculous, but she's the best person that you know.

I am a 29 year old Dominican male who is also a combat veteran.... and I am telling you Leslie Knope isn’t just a woman’s woman, she’s just a great human being period. I can’t tell you how many times I got out of a fire fight in Iraq and watched parks and rec just to see knope remind me wtf I was fighting for and put a smile on my face

When the show ended I was so sad. I was amazed that it got better and better with each season. I can't remember any show that did that. I also said that everyone needs a friend like Leslie Knope because as committed as she was to the passion of government she improved the lives of everyone she brought into her life. The finale was the most satisfying finale ever to me because while I was sad the show ended it gave necessary closure.

Just reminded me that I should do a rewatch.

So happy to see so many people are thrilled about this video. It just proves there're sooo many people out there who are truly good human beings and want to spend their time in this world doing good and being good to themselves and others. There are hundreds of great shows and then there's Parks and Rec. I remember the first time I watched it and when I got to the finale I instantly went back to watch the reruns. It's one of those shows (the only one for me personally, but..) you don't want to think that one day they would come to an end and you will no longer be able to follow on the life of the people you somehow got so attached to and became family or best friends. The characters live in you, and I'm not talking only about Leslie. I equally loved Ron Swanson and Donna and April and Ann. Oh Ann! The poetic noble land-mermaid. Who doesn't crave an Ann in their lives. A full-time nurse who magically seems to have all the time for her friend. I just can go on and on, on how much I love the show. Thank you ScreenPrism!

Amy Poehler did an absolutely magnificent job at portraying Leslie!

I love how you covered Leslie and Bens relationship but I’d love a whole video about just that. I’ve always found it so interesting that Ben takes a traditional female role in the relationship while still demonstrating male characteristics. He likes sports, and even punches a man who calls Leslie a bitch which is traditionally very masculine but he makes real sacrifices in his career to further Leslie’s which is traditionally what women do for their relationships. The switch the typical gender rolls but both and still masculine and feminine when they do so. It would be interesting to see a take on the impacts of that

ALL of the women in Parks and Recreation (yes, even April) were fantastically written. What I enjoyed about Leslie, as well as Ann, in particular, is that they were just normal women. Leslie isn't some badass warrior trying to take down the men in government, but she's also not some overemotional stereotype. She's a woman who cares for people, and cares for her country. She loves her friends, she loves having fun, and she loves work. And despite the show featuring strong female characters, it never put down men in order to do so. None of the male characters were written as villains who hate women (although Tom's behavior at times was questionable) and everyone was truly equal. I wish the world were more like Pawnee, I wish more people were like Leslie Knope, and most of all, I wish more sitcoms were as optimistic and warm as Parks and Rec.

April Ludgate and Tom Haverford are the "meanest" characters in the latter show, but can anyone really hate them? I know I sort of hate Angela Martin and Ryan Howard from The Office.

He has a grating singing voice and he's always singing. He thinks highly of himself even though he has no reason to. At least the office acknowledges when the characters are unlikable and they actually have redeemable qualities.

Can I just say, that as a dude, I really look up to Leslie, and that those lines you used in your opening from P&R: "If I come on strong, it's because I feel strongly", are ones that I try to live by, so I just wanted to say that she isn't just a woman's woman, but everyone's person. I don't want her getting closed off, or me feeling like if I try to be like her, or try to mimic some of her traits, that I'd be coming off too feminine. I just want to be a good person who cares for people, and she's the perfect example of that, regardless of gender.

Leslie Knope is a great role model. ☺

Leslie is actually one of the best female characters ever written. Heck, not just female, she’s one of my favorite protagonists ever. All the characters on this show are so well done.

The best thing about Leslie Knope is that she is a very earnest character without an ounce of cynicism! In today's world earnestness is frowned upon and is often ridiculed. If someone is being vulnerable or really earnest, that person is labelled as embarassing. Earnest feelings should always be hidden under a barb of cheeky sarcasm or caustic witty cynicism, because that is what is perceived as cool. Leslie Knope is such an welcome departure in that regard.

Holy cow!!! I love Park&rec and I love Leslie knope and what a phenomenal breakdown!! you please have done I really hope you guys continue to do more as special parks and rec and the office!!!

This made me cry. I love Leslie so much!

YES. this was SO GOOD. please make a video about Leslie and Ron's friendship!

Someone told me once that I reminded them of Leslie Knope and it's still one of the best compliments I've ever received.

You girls should do more videos about Parks and Rec!!! This one was incredible :)
