A Scene Comparison - Echo versus Atomic Blonde

Or, why Girl Bosses are incredibly boring.

The Message doesn't replace good story telling. Hollywood has forgotten that. Just like they forgot that special effects don't replace story telling. A lesson they learned in the 1990s, and then forgot in after 2015.

Failure is not an option for a Mary Sue.

Characters that can never fail, face no crisis. There are no stakes, when nothing is at stake. Plot armor is not a substitute for plot. Mary Sue is a boring character. And all of them are dying at the box office.

This is the Jedi Brooks video Why Disney Cant Write WOMEN - A Scene Comparison
