James Cameron is King of the Cucks.
every single movie he has directed he portrays women superior to men.

every ... single ... fucking ... one.

Maybe it's his fetish

>>79351254

True Lies didn't, Titanic didn't. And as strong as Sarah was in T2 she had a ton of flaws, her desire to protect John and get him ready for Judgment Day just ended up dividing them and by going after Dyson she became as cruel and mercliess as the Terminator that hunter her for something she hadn't even done yet.

I think that's the only one, OP.

But that's because we had a previous movie to set up why she became a strong badass. She definitely wasn't like how she was in the first by T2.

How was Sarah stronger than either Terminator?

I love how she was ripped and badass, but they made her deranged and nutty to compensate that, avoiding a sue.

Lara Croft(Angelina jolie)

Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor is the best example.
Others I can think of are Arwen (for about 10 minutes in the movie in a role that wasn't hers in the book) before she becomes a traditional love interest and maybe Ripley in the first two Alien movies. That's about it.

I swear feminists make no sense: in 90s-2000s etc there were A LOT of heroines: Sarah Connor, Ripley, Buffy, Charlie Angels, Charmed, Xena, Jessica Fletcher...all of them were strong and smart, now post 2010 all women must hate men, gets offended by everything and want to be activists instead of having a normal job.
And I swear to god all look the same with the fishmouth and puppy eyes like the Star Wars last one, they must have some kind of brain damage.


/v/ Old Lara Croft was about a strong woman and now they changed her to a teen who cries and complain about everything.

Well I guess she doesn´t count for being a granny, but even so she dared to investigate assassinations and wouldn´t stop till she trapped the guilty, also she was a great teacher and supported her class.

What I´m saying is:

Have a girl growing with this series.

Have another girl growing with post-2010 series.

The first one would probably be a normal woman, the second one will be a fishmouth offended by everything and anti-white male.

Best strong female characters exert influence through soft power. They manipulate and deceive and set others to do their bidding using their feminine charm. This is a type of strength no one can deny, they have more real world power than men in many cases because they manipulate them.

>They're just guy characters that have been gender swapped

confirmed for never having seen alien

ripley is confused and feminine as fuck

she's very clearly portrayed as a woman who was thrown into the shit and had to survive, tripping over herself the whole way without a confident figure to lean on
she just barely makes it in the end

ripley's unpretentious bewildered survival makes my dick ROCK hard
we should all be seeking out women with those kinds of instincts
you just KNOW she'd take it lying on her back without a complaint if you were man enough to give it to her

i dont give a FUCK about her bony hips and non-ass

That's what makes them strong. Women can't be strong by their own disposition, so they need to be gender swapped men in order to actually be strong. That's why all feminine strong female characters are just OP; They're not men.
>>
>>79354459
she wasn't deranged though, they thought she was crazy because she talked about time traveling robots which do actually exist in those movies

the real reason she isn't a mary sue is because they portray her as a bad mother, which is why john is so fucked up

She was a great character, but too meek to be called powerful. And the sequel turned her into a joke

What, they should have baked the other characters some cookies to establish their femme cred? Sarah knew she failed her son on some level, and Ripley was the only one who gave a shit about Newt in the sequel.

Bunch of shit right here, don't let the anti sjwism get to your head

I dislike forced female main characters as much as anyone, but sarah connor is a totally believable one. She's majorly flawed, her reasoning is completely understandable and most important of all, we can see her development. All stuff that's missing from today's OMG STRONK WOMYN heroines.

It's not really fair to hold women to the same standard as men. They are inferior biological machines, it's like comparing a jet to a propeller airplane. Men have more muscle and their better brains (7 times the grey matter). It's unfortunate but it evidence suggests it''s true.
