I'm sorry, but those scenes where a 5 foot, two inch girl sends a six foot two inch guy across the table with a punch is getting old for me.
Just my nickel.


I could not agree more. And, for all their plethora of women in male roles, these movies and shows often have few female characters or plots that actually interest most actual women viewers. One of the things that turned my wife off about SW:TROS, for example, is that Rey did not end up married or even a serious romantic relationship with either Ben Solo or Fin.
