Hm, not a fan of these shows with main female characters who are supposed to be geniuses but the shows are all comedic. Like these women are never shown as serious/regular people, they have to be funny, borderline ridiculous/over the top.

I get that it might make them more... palatable for the general audience but it sucks. And you wonder why I have very few favorite female characters. The ones I really like are nothing like that.

#mel.post #intellectual capacities apart #helen ripley was a revelation when i was a kid #years later it was motoko kusanagi #also a reason why i enjoyed true detective night country more than the average apparently #i've always looked up for the more mature women in a story as a child #it was so easy to like male characters the diversity is huge #women? not so much #also the lack of gender fluidity in adult characters has been real when i grew up #you had to see yourself in the “tomboy”
