After the first episode reviewers and critics seem to be leaning more towards 'shit'.

Yes, I agree, it is easy for me to say that since I am a woman and I could easier get laid than men. True, but I would never spend the money that isn't mine on myself and my addiction whatever it may be.

yeah sex addiction or not that’s just repulsive behavior. i live with an addict who steals money for her fix and this is the same but worse.

it’s hilarious that people wanted a female pennywise because in the book pennywise is actually a woman anyway lol

Hulkess, surely?

I'm a bit hesitant about names recycled that way. Hulkina for example isn't that much different than she hulk in that it is a feminine form of Hulk. On the other hand an alternate universe version of Hulk is named Maestro which is recycled from a musician title yes it is still a completely different name for the same character no less.

 

Just me nitpicking

But my understanding is that the name "Hulk" was simply reference to what he is, by definition of the word hulk, lower case, as being a thing, not proper name. Then, referred to as The (Incredible) Hulk, and eventually Hulk used as his name. Regardless, I tend to think making a female version of everything should have ended with overwhelming success of all female Ghostbusters!

The closest thing I could find in the Oxford dictionary is "a large, clumsy-looking person". By that definition and logic she Hulk would just be Hulk. Kind of like what Marvel did with Thor. Confused yet? So are many others.

c : an abandoned wreck or shell (as of a building or automobile) (or comic book character )

Nope! I'm not confused, woke, or trying to figure out what pronoun to use! ))) As far as I'm concerned, PC stands for personal computer. Actually, as I understand it, "She" Hulk is not that new, and been in comics? Just that the way the woke generation does things, it'll be a flop that caters to .01% of the population.

Left of the last definition, which IS kind of the one that most directly applies...

Well the word 'She' is a pronoun yes but it doesn't make it any less lazy for the name of a comic book character.

That sounds about right. It was first published in the 1980s so about 42 years ago.

Depending on whether the TV show flops or succeeds people will either forget about it or pass it on to their children or grand children much like any other generation and better to have a woke generation than to have asleep generation at least while driving. Which generation were we talking about?

Before I was born, but I had seen the TV ads and asked about it. At first, I thought it was exactly another woke-perversion, but my husband said he thinks it's more from the "girl power" revolution of the 80's.

They say the best snips from TV shows are shown in commercials for the show. Umm... I'm figuring a 3 rating, but stays on for the full run (however many already completed episodes), and never seen again.

 

And take note of the major difference between "awake" and woke. )))

Dat bob cut tho

 

In many ways the 80s was also unintentionally gay. Lots of shirtless men in the 80s. GI Joe also has its fair share of shirtless dudes. Sadly no shirtless women because the dumb nipple police won't let it happen.

 

I guess what I'm saying is that there isn't anything particularly powerful about having more clothes. Perhaps better equipped to deal with cold winters but unless you are donning full plate armor or kevlar depending on the era it doesn't really make much of a difference.

It is that simple. Off topic I think I recognize you from somewhere.

As I was not born yet, and not in US when I was, I ask my husband, who lived it. His opinion is that 70's was about teens are cool... Scooby Doo, and then Pebbles and Bam Bam became teens. 80"s was more about fitness, and the girl power thing, with male and female characters both being muscular and showing as much as socially accepted at the time. 90's became about everything was a baby version of the originals. 

 

As for armor issues... Hmmm... seems that Skyrim folks have a very different thinking of what armor is from the convetional...

 

 

Yea, that should block a sword!!!!!!!!!

 

Ok, perhaps I also have some slightly unrealistic armor for a few of my Sims 3 characters, but as this is Death, she could be naked and not much will make her any deader!!!

 

 

Hmmm... She might do well in Skyrim???

Pretty much, though the 80s was many things (as usual with every thing), though there was a bit of machismo that was in response to the loss in Vietnam.    Strong leading men, strong leading women with series like Charlie's angels, A team, Miami Vice, etc.  However as for the focus on teens........ I wonder if that is our own bias looking back.    Movies like CHariots of Fire and The Big Chill (or "On Golden Pond") were snoozefests for me, but ones like "Pretty in Pink", "The Goonies", "The Lost boys" etc. are movies that seem to enjoy more attention on social media.     

 

Basically, I wonder if Gen Xers have an unfair advantage, as the majority of us were young enough to know our way around social media (sort of),  allowing us to show younger generations what was so great about the 70s (for cartoons) and 80s (for music, movies and gaming) in the emerging new media.   Of course, I have no real data to back up my opinion, as I am only basing on anecdotal evidence like 80s music playing in restaurants and sporting venues, while it would have been a poor business that played hits from the 1940s in their restaurant.     

 

As for female armor:

Well, that's the thing... "opinion". Nothing wrong with stating something from one's perspective, when also openly saying it is your opinion, and the way you came to see it. Just as I wrote it was my husband's "opinion" of how he saw things, growing up during those times. )))

 

Too many times, a person will say someone else is wrong, their comment is stupid, baseless, whatever, because it doesn't align with that person's "opinion".

 

I have opportuninity to view much of what is nostalgia for my husband, as we raise our son. It's still possible to find channels and programs on TV, that are more about age appropriate entertainment, and less about some skewed agenda, and many are from 60's, 70's and 80's. The Goonies is one of my son's favorites!!!

That's unfair to Stone Age denizens. We have no idea about what they may have felt about a woman dancing wildly at a party. I fancy that they would have enjoyed it.

SOME... "theorize" that such behaior was (in cavemen times) a simple matter of survival of the species, combined with their level of cognitive ability. One study showed that even in present day man, a man's body when cold, will open capilaries in the extremities, allowing to maintain function of arms and fingers... again in theory, for the purpose of hunting and gathering during harsh weather. The same study indicated that capilaries in female extremities tend to close. Theory being that this retained body heat in the core, thus keeping unborn warm (if pregnant).

 

Male and female "attitudes", were more a product of survival also. Males generally larger and stronger were protectors, and for protection, females would tend to submit. Male and female offspring would then be raised to take their societal roles, as taught by mother or father, according to gender.

 

The generality of physical evolution is somewhat static. Evolution of the brain continued, and still does to some extent, with the occasional "mutation"... that being someone like Einstein. Social evolution has seemed to have had the greatest influence, and the ability to reason. Honestly, had this not happened with males, things would not be very different now, as in days of caveman. Reality is that in perhaps 90% of cases, were a male to decide to overpower a female and rape her, it will happen. Only thing to stop it has been that social evolution, and evolution of reason.

 

And yes, in some societies, even today, evolution of reason and of that society, seem to remain a bit behind others.
