Wouldn't it be funny if someone ever created a character named Mary Sue as the protagonist of their book/show/film/franchise and actually gave her Helga from Hey, Arnold! levels of depth and character development?
Okay, if Avril Lavigne makes a movie based on Sk8er Boy, I am so going to the cinema to watch it. But only if the movie follows the lyrics to a T. No philosophical, full-of-life-metaphors bullshit. I'm paying to watch a boy getting his heart broken, finding someone else, and slamming it with his guitar. What more can I say?

"Women in media shouldn't be limited to talking about romance" and "strong, independent women shouldn't have to abandon love altogether in order to achieve their dreams" are two arguments that can and should coexist.

Me, watching a film of my own choice: Oh, it lasts two hours? Cool! This is going to be such a great afternoon!
Me, watching videos as homework: 4 MINUTES! What the Hell?!?! Why is this so long?! What a waste of my time…

Charlie Chaplin openly pleaded against fascism, war, capitalism, and WMDs in his movies. He was slandered by the FBI & banned from the USA in ‘52. Offered an Honorary Academy award in '72, he hesitantly returned & received a 12-minute standing ovation; the longest in the Academy’s history.
I love Chaplin's movies

Movies I have about women succeeding in fields that other characters thought they couldn’t possibly be any good in:
- Zootopia - In a world of talking animals, Judy Hopps becomes the first rabbit police officer.
- Hairspray - fat teenager Tracy Turnblad becomes a television dancer without losing weight; Inez Stubbs also becomes a television dancer despite being black in the 1960s USA.
- Legally Blonde - Elle Woods, a blonde ‘cheerleader-type’, becomes a lawyer.
- Strange Magic - Literal fairy princess Marianne learns how to sword fight, well enough to fight the king of the goblins to a draw.
- various Barbie movies - it’s a reoccurring theme in those.
- Quest For Camelot - Kaylee goes to retrieve the sword Excalibur, stolen from King Arthur by the ex-knight who killed her father ten years ago, and becomes a Knight of the Round Table herself.
I still have to get a copy of Hidden Figures, about the black women who worked for NASA as engineers, mathematicians, and computer-programmers during the Space Race - focusing mainly on Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson (formerly Goble), and Dorothy Vaughan - but I have seen that movie too.
(Fun fact - Hidden Figures and Hairspray take place at the same time. Tracy’s first live television broadcast happens during John Glenn’s space flight.)
