[QUOTE="TxFrog1999, post: 2736226, member: 322"] From Wikipedia... I'm all for strong female leads, but the recent trend is to make female leads nearly perfect in their roles, think Rambo for male characters (not first blood, but the one where he nearly takes out the entire Soviet army by himself). Now, there is nothing wrong with that type of character in fiction, but lately it's been forced in roles where it isn't warranted. For example, one of the great aspects of Mulan (since I mentioned that earlier) is that she wasn't a particularly skilled fighter and was certainly shown as being less physical than the male counterparts (they even made fun of her when they thought she was a "weak" man), but she used her mind and strategy to win the day (she's shown winning a game just in passing by the players and glancing at the board, retrieving the arrow by utilizing the heavy discs to climb the pole, firing the rocket to start an avalanche rather than waste it killing one man, etc.). Now, in the future remake she's shown slicing her way through Huns like it's a scene from Hidden Dragon or a Jackie Chan movie. There is no need to remake the character into a martial arts expert.
