Some movies nowadays go even further. They pile up one awesome trait after another on top of this sexy female character, thinking that will make them “stronger.” For instance, consider Rachel Taylor’s character in Transformers, who, Megan Fox claims, is an intelligent, Strong Female Character. Of course! She’s a 23-year-old, model-thin super-attractive super-genius hacker who is SO SMART that everyone in the Pentagon spends the whole movie looking at her dumbly because she’s just SO MUCH BETTER THAN THEM AT EVERYTHING.
Get all the way to the end, it’s worth it even if I don’t agree with everything, but yeah. Wow.
