• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Wednesday Wednesday, highly acclaimed series on streaming popular The Adams
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Family basically, and they were asked, hey, do you want,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you know, a female lead for James Bond? And she said,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I do not want to see a Jamie Bond. She
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: wants to see other rules for women. Do you want
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to see a Jamie Bond?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I don't. I'm with her on this. I've always thought
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: even the spin offs, you know, you have Superman, Supergirl, Batman, Catwoman,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: she was probably one of the most popular.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean Catwoman was an original character from the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: from the comics and.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: From the You Would Know You're a comedy for the
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: TV show.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Back in the nineteen She just got her own spin off.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: On that, but well, I was going through today because
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I was looking at this article and I was looking
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: at a list, and I thought, Okay, the only female
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: superhero that is number one across the board that everybody knows,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: who is it? Wonder Woman, wonder Woman, wonder Woman, Yeah,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: everybody else? Like when I went down that list and
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: they didn't order like Storm, Black Widows, Starfire, Black Canary, Raven,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Impossible from Disney Elastic Girl Incredibly she was another one
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: that I actually really really liked.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Well, but see they based that character. Lasta Girl was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: actually based off of the idea that moms are always
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: having to juggle in are being stretched in multiple.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Different waybe That's why I liked Alasta Girl.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: It was based on the idea of moms.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the Last Girl.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: You know, have you not seen The Incredibles, Lewis, It's
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: been a while.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: It's incredible.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You know what your last name is, par Parr. So
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Helen Parr was being stretched. O, that's the Lasted Girl
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: because cars are heroes. But yes, okay, sorry, So.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I'm such a big believer in not reimagining. You know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: we went through this cycle of all of these movies, remember.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: The Ghostbusters, to do the female ghost right.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: To do that one. That's right there are You know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: if you talk about in the last probably twenty fifteen
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: twenty years, a lot of the superpower movies that made millions,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: they were reimagined. They were redone with an all black casts,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: like Wizard of oss Is with the Wiz that was
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: actually the popular I remember that as a little girl. Cinderella,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: that's and went from that to Whitney Houston and Brandy Right,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: you had Karate Kid. It went from the Ralph Maccio
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: to the Will Smiths Sons version. Rich didn't do his
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: well still Magnolia's a lot of people don't even know
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: that that was reimagined with Queen Latifah at the Foreta.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that about Last Night Annie Annie was
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: a good one that was reimagined. But so I am
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: such a firm believer in there's so many stories that
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: can be told. Don't take like a Superman movie like
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: that and try to make a superwoman. It's not gonna
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: They have a Captain Marvel that's a woman. No one
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: really knows about her.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well captain, So Captain Marvel did in the comics
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: was originally a man. And then when there's a split
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: between Marvel and DC and basically they're fighting over the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: rights to captain Marvel eventually was turned into a woman.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Amazing that he knows all of these backstories to these superheroes.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It's a misspent youth.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Well it's well, when I was reading about like she Hulk,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: you know, these are all the cousins of the superhero right,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: so when you think about James Bond, how in the
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: world this is what draws me nuts. When they try
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: to make a female more of a badass than the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: male lead that's stronger and more powerful, you know, it
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: is fiercer, it takes away, there's something that's taken away
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: if you want to make her smarter, more clever. But
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: when you when I see, in fact, there was a
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Denzel Washington movie I think it was called Oh, he
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: has this instinct where he can know what's going to happen.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: And now Queen Latifa has that role and says she's
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: dominating these men and she's putting them against the wall.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: It just doesn't have the same it doesn't fall the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: same way.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And I think again that's one of the things I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: really did like actually about The Incredibles was that they
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: imagined the characters, and they gave the characters the powers
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that actually matched.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, I love that they were loved that movie.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Violet was given this invisibility thing because a teenage girl
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: kind of wants to be a wallflower and disappears she's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: very shy, kind of the goth thing that was. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: then Dash the young boy was given the super speed
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: because if you've ever dealt with like a six year
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: old boy, they're just always running around everywhere. That was
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: kind of the idea behind the movie.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: But you know, I think all of what you're talking
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: about is basically the struggle between good versus evil. I mean,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: all of these superheroes that we're talking about. I mean,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I think that's why they're so popular. Is that in
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: our heart, deep in our soul, we want good to win.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: That's right, But is it a matter of if you
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: have a male role and it's successful that way, then
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Hollywood goes, oh, this will even be better if we
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: make that exact same character now female. For DEI purposes
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: or whatever, we'll reach the female audience by simply turning
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the male character female.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: But you're kind of recycling the same old story instead
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: of a new story. As you pointed out here.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, I've got a hero. Her name is Sheira.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: You'll have to look her up. Next time we'll have
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: more minutes talk about her. But she's pretty freaking awesome
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: and I love what she stands for. But yeah, I'm saying,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: just write your own story, write new stories for, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: make women bad asses in that particular story.
• 5:54
