I don't like the idea of adding extra characters just because the original didn't have any of "whatever sort" of character is missing. It's like adding a black guy, just to have a black guy. Only we're adding a woman, just to have a woman. The story doesn't involve women... so... don't put any in the movie. Simple enough. The story doesn't involve black people or latinos either, and I didn't see any added characters to make up for that. (Though I did notice some darker-skinned background crowd characters.) Tauriel is The Hobbit's token woman. The fact that she was created just so there would be a woman is still pretty sexist. If a character doesn't belong, don't try to force it just for "equality." I think it only makes things worse. Because now, instead of not being represented at all, I am represented by a bunch of horrible characters. I would much rather have watched these movies without any women at all than have women I'm completely uninterested in in them. She's eating up screen time that could have been given to the characters who were in the book. (Legolas shouldn't be here either, by the way... They could have made this all into just one movie if they hadn't added about ten characters who aren't even in the story... Though they probably could have used a second movie so they could still develop the individual dwarves' characters better than the book did.) <br /><br />I do, however, like the idea of a gender-swapped Hobbit movie. So long as it doesn't involve a single male character who everyone wants to fuck and who is perfect and friendly and more tolerant than all his racist kin, and who's skilled in battle and insanely intelligent and experienced and perfect for his age show up. No one wants to see that.<br /><br />Someone else said that elves are supposed to be beautiful and perfect and so Legolas and his dad would be Mary Sues too, but they aren't. They are very flawed. They are complete racists. XD They act like stubborn dickheads through every scene they are in. That's flawed as hell. Tauriel, on the other hand, is pretty and skilled like all elves, but also seemingly more tolerant of the dwarves. She sympathizes with them more than any of the other elves do. So she's not only pretty and skilled, but also nice and tolerant. I cannot think of a single flaw she has other than her flawlessness. It's sickening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481130884748707383.post-55899704390806626762014-09-26T07:39:33.181-04:002014-09-26T07:39:33.181-04:00You are SO right.

Leo gets a tiny bit but only in how his personality clashes with Raph. The 2007 movie at least was more fairly split between Raph and Leo's points of view (although I do few bad for the Mike and Don fans for getting shafted). Admittedly in an hour and a half to 2 hrs it's hard to give all 4 boys their equal due.Kate Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481130884748707383.post-32158268348724940372014-08-10T17:27:18.606-04:002014-08-10T17:27:18.606-04:00Hi Kate!

I simply didn't think anything of it, but I understood the writers' motivation to add her to the story.<br /><br />But then, I read stuff about her, and I, too, dreaded that she would be a Sue. She is supposed to be somewhere between 300-600 years old and captain of the guards. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a very young age for elves? Were there really no other, more qualified and more experienced warriors to have that position? <br />I have to say that I find her to be just an obnoxious Mary Sue, no different from all the multiple Sue stories I've come across in the LOTR fandom since the movies came out.<br /><br />And really, I mean really, whenever there's a woman involved, you have to add a love triangle?! Are women really this disqualified for anything else, but to make the men around her become love sick idiots? I almost took my popcorn and walked out of the theathre when she healed Kili.<br /><br />She also shows signs to be very untrustworthy too. How can someone like that even get the position of captain of the guards to begin with?

Like you dip one toe into the reverse-pool or whatever. Take for example, my recent breakup with Teen Wolf. I knew somewhere in the middle of season 3A that the passion was leaving, but I stuck it out for the rest of that season. I didn't watch 3B, I'd stopped caring - but I still read fanfic for it and tumblr-watched to see what happened for the rest of the season. That behaviour stopped when I couldn't take the creative decisions (cause they were stupid - 'lets kill off all the women' just doesn't work for me hahah).<br /><br />I find that's how it happens, it's not an abrupt breakup...it's slow and you indecisively wander back and forth until you either get pushed off the edge or fall back in. lizhttp://janeways-socks.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481130884748707383.post-38741197321681976532014-07-05T12:07:23.923-04:002014-07-05T12:07:23.923-04:00That totally happened to me with Sherlock.

People were saying how Moffat's writing was horrible: the Doctor and Sherlock sharing lines, both made misogynistic comments, female characters were a joke.

There was so much to take in. Right away you're thrown into an alternate universe, an ellaborate, detailed, visually-rich story, which is weird, sexual, bizarre, but most of all, incredibly unique. <br /><br />Episode after episode they either visit an entirely new alien location or planet. There's always a "where will this show take me this time?" aspect when popping in each episode. A lot of people just dismiss it as being a shallow fantasy with nothing more to it than a puerile sexuality and sub heavy-metal-depth conceptual sci-fi, but i always point out that it has some really subtle and deep philosophical **** going on beneath the surface and some of the best visual metaphors I've ever really seen... <br /><br />IMO, it's by far the grandest and most epic of the sci-fi series out there, and the most imaginative BY FAR. It's SO underrated and underseen, it's astonishing to me how it isn't more famous.<br /><br />If rebooted, I could see Lexx being huge these days.platinaoficialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173457518619778416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481130884748707383.post-14201433362226952682014-06-30T22:57:29.324-04:002014-06-30T22:57:29.324-04:00Many thanks for the amazing essay I really gained ...Many thanks for the amazing essay I really gained a lot of info.
