Since this isn't a "love Willie" thread, the main thing about her screaming that annoys me is that there is hardly any variation. Her screams are almost always at the same level of intensity, whether she's jumping out of a plane or coming face-to-face with an owl. Are owls really that scary?
I would be screaming if an owl took me by surprise. What? I'm supposed to be "a man" about the whole thing? Screw that.
And why is it that people talk about Willie's screams and not Marion, Elsa or Indy's? And at least none of the ladies squealed like a pig, as Indy did in "CRYSTAL SKULLS".
They cut her some slack.
On account of the giant gorilla.
Oh I see. A woman has to "take it like a man" when nearly crashing into the Himalayas, dealing with bugs (which I hate), and being lowered into a hot pit. What's the matter? Willie isn't tomboyish enough for you?
She was a survivor for sure but she wasn't as gutsy as Marion or Elsa.
Gutsy? What the hell does that mean? Acting like a man? Was Marion being "gutsy" inside that temple filled with snakes and corpses? Was Elsa being "gutsy" dealing with the rats or a dying Donovan falling on her? Was Indy being gutsy when dealing with snakes . . . especially in "CRYSTAL SKULLS"?
Is the only way a female character can be valued in this franchise? By acting like a man? It seemed to be the case with this board. I guess saving both Short Round and Indy in the mine car and saving Short Round on the bridge don't count.
You know what? Screw it. I couldn't care less whether Willie is liked or not. I like her and that is all that counts with me.
