      What makes it a "white male power fantasy" besides the characters being white males? If I remade Memento with a female lead, would there be something inherently male about the story still?https://twitter.com/michelamaxwell/status/1294371222646644737 …

      Part of my problem with grit is the Nolan white male power fantasy aspect. Another is that it coincides with that other trend where every character is unlikeable. I got so tired of TV like Weeds, Shameless, etc. and that's somewhat conflated in my mind with the other thing.

      I should have been more clear. I'm specifically referring to TDK trilogy. (Bad at remembering stuff like directors' oeuvres.)

      Ok, but let's say we make Batman a woman. Is it still somehow inherently a male power fantasy? Is it a male thing to want to sneak around in the dark and drive tanks through tunnels and be a ninja? Bc you're kinda treading on some deeply hurtful ground with that

      relevantly, I just watched WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE on the doctor's recommendation, and it really is striking how much the last minute change of the serial killer husband into a serial killer wife changes the movie

      from a sort of generic "housewife in peril" lifetime movie to a much stranger, darker movie where the wife's prying paranoia about the serial killer's past (which might be normal in a "the straights area not okay" sense) doesn't ring justified when it's about her lesbian lover

      and so instead of being a straightforward empowerment story, i couldn't stop thinking that the serial killer was a lot cooler than her wet-blanket wife

      Yeah, perfect example. Casting men/whites/straights/ableds in their traditional roles is loaded. You can get a totally different look at something when you switch it up.

      I still remember this short film that went locally viral in Cleveland which is just this simple cliche where a woman who's been taken hostage suddenly turns the tables on her captors, professionally and brutally kills them and reports to her superiors her mission was completed

          And it went viral *only* because the main character is played by a middle-aged heavyset Black woman, someone whose "type" reads as "Mom" Which was completely an accident -- the filmmakers were just trying to demonstrate their stunt choreography chops on the cheap

          The only stunt person they could get on short notice was someone older And it totally transforms the story from being something we've all seen a hundred times before into something big and empowering
