Because if a woman does anything consequential she’s still just a “chick” to you.
Damn, we need a few thousand clones of her, asap. Nazis everywhere lately. Although they started to come back right around the time she died. Makes you wonder.
For patriarchy to work it’s really really important women are taught to be afraid of sexuality explicitly so we don’t weaponize it against men because they’re insanely vulnerable to it
Because superhero movies tend to have a solid ROI, which is why they get made: to make already rich dudes even richer. How do you plan to flesh out your seductresses Nazi assassin movie idea other than “she seduces Nazis and assassinates them” and still be a box office hit?
Find or be a good writer, get a decent script, and if you can convince enough movie executives that they’ll make bank off of it, your idea might stand a chance.
Yes.
Exactly!

Why would you ever want the text to be not tilted!?
Thanks now I can't unsee it.
Just tilt your phone—how hard is it, really?

..because she was a child soldier. She was doing this aged 14.
We tend not to glorify tales of the WW2 where war crimes were committed.
We do tend to do tales of tragedy though. She was the victim on two different counts, as well as being the hero (recruited as a child soldier, and defending against hostile invasion. Heroic for shooting Nazis).
Depicting someone defending against the bad guys while being taken advantage of by the good guys and meanwhile shooting pedophile Nazis feels like a shoe in.
Also, it wasn't technically a war crime at the time. The conventions around not using child soldiers are shockingly recent. Was still a bad thing to do, but only by modern standards.
We also tend to glorify war crime stories depressingly often, so I'm not sure that point even stands.
Child soldiers are fine in ww2. They weren not brown people fighting for their lives. They were white people.
You know that people speaking out against child soldiers aren't condemning the children, right? They're condemning the people who take advantage of them.
That's sort of why most criticism is directed towards warlords and drug cartels.
Really wasn't a situation that needed race injected into it, particularly when no one was saying that white child soldiers are somehow okay.
So they condemn the Brits and Americans for using child soldiers to fight Germany?
