Live Fast Die Young Bad Girls Do it Well

I went to see Atomic Blonde and I’m having the same kind of bombed out, obsessive reaction of “is this what it’s like to see someone like ME kick ass on screen? is this why men are so confident?” that some of my girlfriends had to Wonder Woman. 

I enjoyed Wonder Woman (other than the disastrous and cheesy 3rd act) but it was really difficult for me to identify with her- she’s naive, idealistic, super heterosexual (for a Patty Jenkins film), largely untouchable/unhurtable, and she’s also honestly kind of dumb: most of the movie is just men telling her not to do something, and she does it anyway, but only succeeds because she’s brute-forcing with DEMI-GOD POWERS in a world of mortals. 

Atomic Blonde on the other hand is about a cynical, world-weary, haunted, non-heteronormative woman who actually has to actively WORK to survive: the stunning action sequences really show how much more effort she has to put in and how much she has to use her brain to survive brutal hand to hand combat with men who are bigger and stronger than her and outnumber her in every single encounter. She takes her licks and they show- the amazingly gorgeous Charlize Theron stumbles around half the movie covered in bruises and scars.

One felt like an action figure and the other felt like a woman like me. I think that Wonder Woman is a great role model for young girls, but Atomic Blonde is a movie for all those women who, like me, have taken their licks and fought tooth and nail in a world of men who actively make it hard for them to succeed at every turn. It’s about fucking time. 

Dating Natasha Romanoff Would Include:

A/N- My apologies for my posting schedule being so inconsistent as of late. Knock on wood, I should be able to post more often soon. Let me know what you that think! :) - You two met as SHIELD agents. - You are very bubbly and vivacious whereas she's as cool as a cucumber and debonair. - Natasha seemed standoffish even for her at first but you eventually won her over with your crooked smiles and upbeat mood. - You and Nat ended up frequently being assigned together since you two get along so well. - You start dating shortly after Natasha confesses her feelings after you had a near death experience. - You transfer into the Avengers after the pseudo-collapse of SHIELD. - The other Avengers adore you by the way. - She flirts soooo much and never blushes. - She does smile at your attempts to flirt with her though. - You however turn into a blushing, stuttering mess with her. - She finds it adorable though. - She isn't huge on PDA but always is somewhat close to you. - In private, however, it's a completely different story. - If she thinks that it will go unnoticed by the others, she'll give you a quick peck on the cheek or give your hand a squeeze. - The others (particularly Clint and Bucky) usually notice and think it's incredibly cute. - When Tony commented on it one time Natasha may or may not have beat him to a pulp. - Needless to say, no one mentioned the romantic gestures again. - You're both super protective of each other. - If one of you can't go on a mission and the other is going, the one staying at home dressed the rest of the team down on the importance of protecting her and how their skin will be flayed if they come back without her. - You're pretty fantastic at fighting, but Nat insists on training you and definitely doesn't go easy on you. - She tells you about the Red Room and you desperately want revenge now. - You're there for her when she has nightmares. - You both really love each other and you both (she in particular though) are scared of losing each other. - It took Natasha awhile to say 'I love you' but she says it fairly often now; mostly out of fear that you'll be taken from her soon. - She gives great hugs. - Seriously, you can almost feel the passion she has for you. - You two have really bizarre nicknames for each other because why not. - You learn Russian so you can understand the words she mumbles under her breath. - You one day try to impress her with your knowledge of the Russian language. She actually bursts out laughing at you but she greatly appreciates it and it earned you a grateful forehead kiss. - Natasha doesn't get too jealous of other people try to hit on you. She just sort of walks up, kisses your cheek, and puts her arm around you. - If that doesn't get the guy to walk away, she'll just flat out tell them that you're taken. - You tend to turtle in when someone else flirts with her. She always notices though and goes to comfort you and remind you that she loves you. - You two are just a really perfect fit and -though there have been a few rocky patches- your relationship is really solid, stable, and just generally good.

Long. Live. The. King.

Wonder Woman

Guys, you have to go see the new Wonder Woman film! It was absolutely spectacular. I'm a Marvel girl through and through but this was Marvel level quality. There are a few plot holes but it is largely a good film. Like worth the price of a movie ticket plus expensive popcorn and drink level good AKA 'we've got to see this again' level good. Also, can I be Gal Gadot when I grow up? She really rocked the role and made it her own. It's a little different from Linda Carter's take, but just as good. Also, the fight scenes were SOOOOOOOOO cool. You must see it. I want more.
