ita, back me up in love for The Losers!
I am also part of the Buffista Losers Lovers! I really enjoyed the movie and didn't see anything particularly wrong with Zoe Saldana's character. I haven't read the comic yet, but I want to.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Isn't "I love that shit" sufficient excuse?
I have to be also leaving the house, otherwise it's kind of weird.

I remain still impressed with Deadwood. Cause, on the one hand, I thought I was gonna be pissed off that most of the women were hookers. But they were fully realized and made their own choices as much as they could in the era. And the interaction between Trixie and Alma, being about kicking morphine pass the Bechdel test, though Swergin of course does not.

I used to put on red lipstick and combat boots to write papers in college. It helped. Granted, it was the early 90s, so combat boots were not unusual footwear.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yes, there should be women in action movies. Yes, I'm sleeping with someone on that team inbetween shooting motherfuckers. Hell, I'll sleep with all of them.
I am ita. IDK, I think Aisha beats the heck out of pretty much any woman in any James Bond movie, like, EVER. ::waits for counterexample::

Which one was she in? I haven't seen the last few. I'll take Aisha over Christmas Jones, for example.

I remarked, when I was watching Deadwood, that it had more fully-characterized women with agency in it than Supernatural, even though it was set at a time when women couldn't own property or vote. And when the virgin/whore dichotomy was pretty strictly enforced.
Man, I loved Trixie. And Jane. And Jewel. All of 'em, really--they were real.
