These types of protagonists only worked for this very specific period in western history (the 70s -> early 10s) where you had a generation of retards who were patting themselves on the back for "breaking gender norms" and basking in the glory of the future that they were creating.

Older generations saw women LARPing as men as ridiculous, and we're already at the point where modern generations see it as ridiculous AND insufferable. It's only nostalgia that prevents us from applying it retroactively. These types of protagonists will never have a market again in our lifetimes.

Millennial, actually.

And I'm right. Nothing in entertainment history has been more costly than the girlboss.

she's not ugly at all it was just a strange move to show her in panties when she has a slice of cardboard for an ass.

Literally no one thought about this shit back then. Applying your modern views retroactively is an exercise in futility

If you had thought about it instead of living in blank slate liberal lala land, we wouldn't have gotten the 2010s and the west would be in a much better place right now.

Men and women are not the same. The hostility is growing because the myths of the 80s and 90s are manifesting more and more as dysfunction in the real world. One of the responses is that people are reconstructing the feminine ideal that was deconstructed by the boomers. Instead of being trapped by nostalgia and trying to return to the dry well of the 80s, what we need is a supercharged version of what we liked about it. Screw individualizing the resistance to the feminization of society. We need to just admit that feminism itself is the greatest mistake that we've ever made.

And screw protagonists like Ripley. If you're going to have a female protagonist (and they should be in the minority for action works), just lean into the ludicrousness of it and make her hyper-feminine.

She never assumes control or dominates any men. The only time she 'steps up' is literally when every male is incapacitated and she's the last one left alive to save Newt. And even then, she doesn't fight with physical might or prowess, but just pilots a loading mech. Furthermore, she doesn't Rambo her way in. She basically spends the entire climax in retreat, running for her life and trying to escape.

If this movie came out in 2026, it would bomb horribly, and you're delusional if you think otherwise.

If the industry wants to know what went wrong, well, here's the answer. As for how you can get back there, you can't. The mythos that allowed movies like this to succeed was dispelled hard by actually having women in charge and in combat roles, proving one of the core principles of every flourishing civilization in human history correct.

Romulus did well despite being mediocre, Alien has name recognition.

the plot of resident evil requiem's grace is basically ripley's plot of aliens 2, she replaces her mother/daughter figure with a new one.

Leeching off of nostalgia is the one exception.

But it has diminishing returns, as many franchises have learned. This is a dying beast.

homo ripley wasn't a girl boss, like the other anon said. if that movie was remade now they WOULD make her a girl boss and it would suck. she would be telling the marines what to do from minute 1. she wouldn't need hicks to teach her how to use the gun, she'd already know how to fire it. all gay stuff from modern movies that thankfully can't ruin 80s kino like aliens and terminator.

Magatards need to find a new website if all they wanna do is cry about things that trigger them when they talk about literally anything. The actual channers are trying to discuss while these little babies come here to say nigger like a 12 year olds. their inbred asses would never actually do anything that'd get themselves beat the fuck up irl in an instant. They're not tough, they're not smart, they're mostly just loud and all you gotta do to make them go away is just bully them. No debates, no fact checking, you don't need any of that. They chimp out and run away every time.

Ripley was a Mary Sue. The only good female character in Aliens was the queen xenomorph.

Posts like these just reveal how well the "divide and conquer" strategy worked. You ignore the actual reasons the movies are so horrible nowadays i.e greed, laziness, nepotism because it's easier for you to simplify the issue to "whores forgot their place".

Indeed it is shit. Bullshit.

She's too ugly for movies. Same with Millie Bobby Brown. If they grabbed my dick in real life I'd be excited but that's cheating they are way too ugly for cinema.

Karens / Cucks be like "the reason Alien is good is this ugly flatassed tranny who starred in it not because it has a kino premise, direction, or sets!"

Faggots/grifters be like "the reason everything is so shit nowadays is girlbosses. Just girlbosses, not bad writing, cheap nostalgia, soulless cinematography or annoying contemporary politics shoved in where they don't belong."

Women in leading positions is definitely one of the facets of it. Gamedevs started listening to feminists, look what happened to the games.

Got any ACTUAL, REAL SOURCES for that?
Other than repeating it like a mantra since GG, of course.

Fuck man, just say it that you want women to stay in the kitchen, instead of all the extra steps you put into it. Alt-right is such a fucking joke with their "values" and utter inability to talk them straight.
Bunch of fucking pussies.

Nta The last of us part 2 you dumb fucking moron. They even brought on a notorious kike cunt to hand hold the Israeli kike on good women writing... and kicked off the guy who probably quality controlled that shit from the first game. It's still absolutely ridiculous that a combat medic was months pregnant and sent to on duty, fiction or not. That's how deluded these niggers are, and so are you. Fuck your dads husband you ugly mutt and go get a GF you incel trash :)

That wasn't really a thing until around 2012 when the political left and academic feminists in particular really ramped up their culture war. It's why you had someone like Jennifer Lawrence claiming to be the first female action hero with her Hunger Games movies or Star Trek: Discovery's Sonequa Martin-Green claiming to be the first black lead in Trek. That 2008-12 period is when the left really unleashed the forces of cultural polarization.

She was not a girl boss. She was never arrogant and she was vulnerable. The modern girl boss trope is basically appealing to man hater dykes. The me. In the film were never portrayed as weak.
