I always hear a lot of bashing of Willie by liberal feminist types I meet. It's annoying how these people hold characters up to a litmus test as to whether they promote their particular ideology or not. They don't judge a film any differently from some Christian groups who will disapprove of a film because of its sex, violence, etc. They don't judge films or characters on their own merits, just on whether they represent their particular belief system. Hence you're always going to see a lot of bashing of Willie from magazines and critics, because you can't find a more liberal crowd than journalists. The fact is there are women who would act just like Willie if they went on an Indiana Jones adventure and there are women who would act like Marion. Although I'd have to say more of the Willie type. Not many women could drink a giant sherpa under the table.
My heart goes out to you, that you rub elbows with so many liberal feminists in your daily life but less so that you seemingly engage them in conversations regarding, (of ALL subjects) Willie Scott!
You must have been a REAL son of a b!itch in your past life...maybe you were Willie Scott!
What I don't understand is how you can be annoyed by someone making judgements of a films merits based on their particular belief system...a judgement is an opinion after all. What are you a sadist? Are you out preaching the message of Willie Scott to the masses to convert them from their liberal feminist ways?
The fact is the character of Willie, while not objectionably conceived, is poorly written and performed worse.
If so, the only "reason" you've given is a poorly considered view that women (more than not in your experience) would act like Willie.
Well you certainly live in a hell of your own making...get out of there! If I lived with a nasty thankless shrew who hit me after I saved her syphilitic carcass I would ditch the b!tch.
I think syphilitic is right, to justify her thought process her brain must have been tunneled by spirochetes deeper and wider than the Pancot mines. Reason falling perilously between hemispheres careening off grey matter and losing cohesion until they are nothing more than the shrieks of a vacuous soul sucking mind.
Now THAT's fun.
The perils of being a cocksure liberal feminist who lies down with every Lao Dick and Henry...maybe a dash of Christian Values might have helped the poor soul.
Fact is Willie is one of those liberal feminists you so despise, spreading her brand of bipolar poison all over an Indiana Jones movie where the writers and "actress" don't have the talent to make any of it entertaining.
The silly-hilarities between Willie and Jar Jar are many, for this post it would be that the character was unnecessary and redundant.
Star Wars already had "comic relief" in the form of 3PO and Temple had Shorty, (for what THAT's worth).
Jar Jars absence would not preclude finding otah gunga
sick: )...they might just have reasonably been chased under water by the droid army.
But then, who would the politicians in thier infinte wisdom appoint to hand over a thousand year democracy facilitating the systematic slaughter of life forms across the galaxy?
Whoopsa! Mesa kicked ofo genoside...and cracked a nail!
