When I watched Alien as a kid, feminism was not on my mind. I’ve gotta watch it again! I agree, it’s hard to find female-lead action movies that don’t just feel like “yay, now men can enjoy guns, explosions, fight scenes, and a hot chick!” Kill Bill mostly works for me, minus the foot fetish that Tarantino can’t help but insert, and knowing how he treated her during filming puts a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe I should take that out lol. Woman King was brilliant though, I really want to watch that again. I also have Gunpowder Milkshake on my list, my SIL said it’s basically John Wick but with women, and damn that would really do it for me.

I had several issues with She-Hulk that ultimately made me stop watching. But I’m not here to shit on one of the few shows that scratch that itch for other women. I’m really glad the show gave you that joy :)

Sorry She-Hulk didn’t work for you.

Won’t ask what put you off but suggest seeing it through to the end.

As someone who read the comics it felt very comic-accurate while adding in the clearly feminist perspective of its creator/showrunner. Basically, it took a female action hero created by men and gave her ownership by women.
