Your reason for Mulan feeling more genuine than Captain Marvel is spot on. Mulan wasn't powerful because she was just as "manly" or as much of a fighter as men. She was powerful because she specifically used her own skill set. She relied on cleverness and strategy rather than raw strength. Things like disarming Shan Yu with a fan, a symbol of femininity, and then using his own sword against him is great because she's not just out-strengthing him. Mulan climbing the column in training was possible because, despite not being as strong as the other soldiers, she was just as if not more capable using traits that aren't stereotypically masculine. Captain Marvel devolved into "I can punch holes in your ship" which, while really fun to watch, doesn't really have any nuance to it.

I think feminism means something different in USA than Europe, as in Europe it only means fighting abuse and subjugation of women. Such as women didn't have as many rights and were less represented in their own country. It wasn't until recently women had the right to not be raped by her husband. In USA it seems to be an insult by men who hate women, who spend their time searching out examples of idiots who talk nonsense to say all women who fight against abuse are like that. Funny how they spend too much time online whinging against women, filling comment sections no matter what the subject as an excuse to whine on against feminists and saying what women should want, but no woman finds an abusive misogynist who feels threatened by women who have rights against them to be a turn on. I also think men and women dislike each other more in the USA than Europe, as USA women tell men they're disgusting if not cir'cised and some men who had that done develop issues, such as less sensitivity, which they spend a lot of time online trying to take out on women. Like the USA man who was banned from entering Europe for making web pages promoting men rpe and abuse women when travelling. Although I also acknowledge men from many places who have had injunctions taken out on them by women offline, then use the internet to carry on being abusive.

There was another badass woman in Shego, also feminine without being one-note with long hair and nails and violence and anger and destruction and smarminess and allowing Draken to do all the planning because she’s bored with all that. The fact that Ron seemed so useless and unnecessary but was always invited along because he did end up being helpful while Kim was always capable was a really big change, but he was so goofy and weird and unapologetically himself that no one was upset with his character. Everyone I knew, regardless of gender, loved Kim Possible, because she wasn’t written to fill a quota. She was a super spy that happened to be a girl, and we all loved that.

The sad thing is since there are more male comedians when there’s a bad one we overlook it, but because there are much fewer female comedians when a really bad one like Amy Schumer gets famous, it gets a ton more recognition for how bad that comic is.

9:33 I know I’m late to this video but calling Ricky Gervais not funny is plain stupid, the man is literally responsible for one of the funniest shows of all time, the only award show host that I’m actually willing to watch, and one of the only comedians that makes tough to swallow topics enjoyable to listen to.

I love that you brought up Mulan, because I completely agree. The animated version never felt like they were trying to force feminism down our throats. It was just a movie telling a story. Whereas your other example, Captain Marvel, and even the live action Mulan, they aren't just telling a story, they're trying to prove something to us.

I’ve always felt women generally do better as comedy actors (like the majority of the funny ladies you listed) and men generally do better at stand up. Obviously there are plenty of exceptions on both sides but I think it stems from outward self loathing being more acceptable for men, and the best comedians are the ones that make you laugh with them and at them at the same time. Women are generally taught/expected to be more self aware/self conscious/empathetic and that leans more towards reactionary and situational comedy

The first video of yours that I ever watched, I was your commentary on ancient aliens. I thought you were amazing and insightful then. This is the third video of yours that I have seen. All I can think to myself is - why does it seem to be that I can find no women where I live with this kind of perception, and perspective, humor, and rhetoric, and not just women, but men as well. They're far, and few between. It's not that hard to understand these concepts, and you pick them up as easily as anyone should. I absolutely love that about you. There are very few people I can listen to talk for prolonged periods of time. I can listen to you talk for hours. I'm glad I found you. Cheers!

I do agree. I think it's definitely OK to have some films centered around common difficulties of being queer, disabled, or just generally marginalized, and being able to overcome. 1 to give hope to people like the main character, and 2 to share the difficulties that are faced with people that don't face them. That being said, I think it's equally, if not more important, to have diversity presented and not necessarily even mentioned. Idk why but the first example that came to mind is Nigel in The Devil Wears Prada. I can't remember if he is expressly said to be queer, but it's atleast implied. He is a major character, but really the only scene that loosely touches on his queerness is when he lectures Andy on the power fashion has and he shares his experiences growing up hiding fashion magazines.

As some with multiple disorders and a minor disability I always say "there's a difference between using your disorder and an excuse vs an explanation". I think the underlying theme cam be used here, there's a different between and disabled character and a character who happens to be disabled. One has the main focus on the disability while the other the disability is just a character triat. Same for LGBT+ and BIPOC representation at times.

Not because she's a girl but because she's a child who just got a chance to decompress after her whole life got flipped upside down. She maintained for as long as she had to and got to eat and relax for just that moment and she absolutely breaks down. It's not because she's a girl. Anyone would have that reaction. It's genuinely an amazing and simple scene in a movie filled with madness. To that point, no one had to tell Nausicaa she was cool, she proved it. No one had to say Sofie was strong, she proved it. No one said Mononoke was badass, she proved it. A good character is just that, a good character.

I think the biggest issue I see with her on every criticism she gets is that she copies verbatim from other comedians. Now I don't think there's anything wrong with a small "yoink and twist", you know occasionally taking a good joke and putting your own twist on it can be okay sometimes. The issue is when you line-for-line copy the entire joke from somebody else and just say it with worse delivery.

Thinking about the over-reliance on vulgarity, I wonder if it has to do with women being told they can't do that. When guys make like 283294 sex/masturbation jokes a day, most of the time, people just laugh and find it funny, but a lot of the times, if a woman jokes about that kind of stuff, people get mad at her for being inappropriate or "gross." So while I don't find it funny, I wonder if they just feel so belittled that they feel like they have to overcompensate for how many times people have told them to shut up and not talk about those kinds of things. Not like, an excuse for not being a successful comedian, but a reason that could make sense to me. Edit: Lmao y'all I did not say "everyone always finds it more offensive when a woman makes raunchy jokes than a man with no exceptions," I said that generally, it tends to happen that way. I'm nonbinary, but I was raised as a girl, and this was the experience I had when I made those jokes myself vs. when my guy friends did.

And even if you look at female comedians back then, they just weren't this vulgar. I personally feel like when it comes to female comedians like Schumer they just have a chip on their shoulder and want to compete with men and prove they're better. This is the same woman that complained that Netflix was sexist for giving her 11 million and paying Chapelle and Rock more as if her name should be uttered in the same sentence as them.

It doesn't work because when your only joke is "brown women" the 100th joke about brown women isn't funny. The reason why a joke about black people works for Donald Glover or Eddie Murphy works is because they have OTHER things to talk about

Ellen, Roseanne, Tig Notaro, Sarah Silverman, Natasha Leggero, Kristen Schaal, MARIE BAMFORD, Fortune Feimster…there’s so many talented comics who are women.

“I feel like that could’ve been funny. And it wasn’t, and I don’t know why” is like the perfect description of Lilly Singh’s entire existence. It’s one thing to not be funny, but it’s another thing to be unfunny when you really could’ve been if you were someone else. That makes it extra sad

That’s because it’s more than about what you say. Timing, inflection, tone, mannerisms all play a role in making something funny. You can say something that SHOULD be funny all day long but if it is mistimed or in the wrong tone it becomes rude or insensitive or whatever, but not funny.

Amazing analysis. Thanks

I like the fact that immediatelly after you admitted that humor is a very personal thing and each one of us is free to like a paticular stand up comedian, you said that some comedians are bad and Ricky Gervais popped on the screen so you could exeplify bad humor. Well, I am not going to say he is good or bad. All I am going to say is that the guy is insanely popular, made millions with stand up comedy, and had been invited to shows and ceremony awards many dream of. So, I guess, according to you, bad comedians become the most famous and bad comedy is the recipe to success and fame.

I was listening to a podcast with Bo Burnham way back where he talks about how the stand up community is difficult for certain female comics and doesn’t reward certain types of comedy, it reduces the types of styles female comedians that get popular. There are some great American women comics whose style is more unusual but they are still sort of niche.

I once went to an open mic comedy night where anyone could attend. I made some jokes, got some good laughs, but there was one woman who stood out amongst everyone else. Her improv was on point and she killed it when it came to crowd work. I was like 14 at the time, and when I said it, I got fuckin' roasted for it. But it was all in good fun. She was a 40-year-old single mom with a 14 year old and 12 year old boys. I really hope she made it in some way 'cause she was fuckin' hilarious.

Be freal; if it was a dad doing stand up at a bar, you wouldn't bat an eye. Seriously, dude, get a life instead of obsessing over what women who just so happen to have children, do in their spare time. Because, by the way, mothers are still individuals with lives of their own outside of kids.

I think that this girl uses "incels" as a copout. If by incels she means most men think that women are not funny because it's not important to us, then yes. But she doesn't know what she's talking about.

I think the big reason it's such a large trend in the industry is that so many stand-up comedians that are women feel pressured to take on the "not like other girls" persona to try to make it in the male-dominated industry. So they embrace things like vulgarity and self-tokenization to make it to the top, because it works, but then it bites them in the ass once they're in a spotlighted position because people see through it immediately. i find this fascinating

I think that comes into play in a different way with Lilly Singh My thing about Lilly is she relies on the whole “I shouldn’t be here” thing. She does the whole second person: “you’re probably thinking” and no, I’m not thinking that. She underestimates her audience’s empathy and intelligence, as well as over-explaining literally every joke. Like, as a viewer I’m sitting there thinking: I don’t care that you’re an Indian woman, I never said you shouldn’t be here. But the whole time she’s like “I shouldn’t be here” and it just leaves you feeling like: ok, what are you doing to prove that you should be here. Because all I’ve heard is you talking about how out of place you are, but you haven’t done anything to make it seem like you deserve it. If she keeps saying she doesn’t belong and she doesn’t make funny jokes or provide insightful commentary, I’m going to believe her. Not only is she not that funny, she’s actively holding herself back by priming her audience to think: why am I not watching a different show, why is she hosting rather than whoever or so and so? She also specifically calls out white people and Middle America, alienating and insulting them but not in a funny way just in a mean way, but who does she think watches late night talk shows? 😂

That's a good point. I am of the mindset that women don't need "personas" to be funny. Sure, personas can be fun if you establish yourself in said persona, but if you lack authenticity and you put on a persona to make up for it, the audience will see right through it.

The porn from the woman’s perspective joke “is it just the room” actually was funny because the idea of “porn for women” is hard to explain since porn is from the male gaze. Lesbian porn, gay porn, straight porn…very rarely is it filmed with the woman viewer in mind despite us wanting to find porn that we like too. So the joke has a reason and a punchline. And that’s it. That’s the potential. A good joke in an otherwise awful special.

I mean plenty of women like the porn that’s out there. I think it’s a bit alienating to say “all men like this porn and all women hate it” because it sets up the genders not only as binaries but as monoliths that can’t deviate at all.

@@Chloe-ru2eb Most porn focuses on the woman’s face and her body and doesn’t show the man’s face and body as much. As a heterosexual woman it’s pretty annoying. I try to skip to the part where I see more of the man but the camera keeps going back to her body and face. If you’re bi you might not mind but most porn is definitely meant to be consumed by men which is quite annoying.
