‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ Director: Why Mackenzie Davis Will ‘Scare the Fuck Out of’ Misogynists


https://variety.com/2019/film/features/director-tim-miller-terminator-dark-fate-comic-con-1203262797/

An early “Dark Fate” poster received backlash, calling Davis and her co-stars “feminazis” and other chauvinist hate speech. How do you think she’ll be received in the room at Comic-Con?

If you’re at all enlightened, she’ll play like gangbusters. If you’re a closet misogynist, she’ll scare the f–k out of you, because she’s tough and strong but very feminine. We did not trade certain gender traits for others; she’s just very strong, and that frightens some dudes. You can see online the responses to some of the early s–t that’s out there, trolls on the internet. I don’t give a f–k.

they shoulda just let her be pretty, like she was in blade runner
making her look like a boy is a terrible idea

Well as long as there is no other country could make movies like they make them in the USA there won't be any difference. Hollywood practically held a monopoly on blockbuster movies. No other producer is comparable.

What else audience can watch if not their movies? Chinese action propaganda movies? Indian singing and dancing movies? European boring "art" movies?

There's no competition.

Well, at what point does the badass female become cliche'?

It seems that every movie out there has some model thin women that hits like a line backer. The days of prince charming rescuing a damesel in distress are long gone.

It is not that people hate these types of characters, but because mostly of the metoo movement it seems that men, white men especially, are the new punching bag in Hollywood.

This is the same nonsense we've seen in so many movies, the kickass female that is like a man and not a woman.

It's a joke because there are no real women like this.

What could be is a highly intelligent and tactical female. Females must be tactical in real life because they can't control machine guns, run that fast, beat up men, but they can plan, avoid, indirectly confront, recruit men to fight for them, and so forth.

What would really scare men that hate women would be a very smart well written character that can outclass your from a distance without lifting a finger. Women that act like men are cartoon characters created by men.
