Poll What is the best Female Comic Book hero Movie (excluding Wonder Woman)?

Nobody's going to play by your rules just because you say they should. It's never happened with me in the few instances where I've asked for it to, so you really don't have much say in how people choose to answer your question.

 

Aliens (1986)

 

What about animation? The animated WW was also great, and they did a pretty good animated Catwoman short.

 

I assumed that the point, was trying to find some way for flesh and blood women to impersonate the unrealistic ideal comic book fantasies set, which is fricking difficult. Alien comics came later, trying to impersonalte the skany danky world of space truckers being eating by aliens before they die of cancer... Is it possible, if they do not have a cure for cancer, that the cigarettes they smoke in the Alien movies are not Tobacco? So then, what are they?

Aeon Flux. (Dyna Woman and Electra Girl was a TV Show first, not a comic book, at least this was animation firtst.)

Josie and the Pussy cats.

Wendy the Witch, played by a very young Hilary Duff.

 

On the other hand, it doesn't hurt to try to define one's terms just so the conversation doesn't wander completely off track. So I guess that lets Modesty Blaise out, since she was a comic-strip heroine, not a comic-book heroine.

Meanwhile, I have go for Barbarella since that's the only one of those movies I still rewatch on occasion--and always enjoy. It also has the best dialogue:

"De-crucify that angel or I"ll melt your face!"

They just don't write 'em like that anymore.

 

I voted for Sheena because at the time I was a huge Tanya Roberts fan and the movie was for the most part fun.

Now hells bells Dyna Woman and Electra Girl....... Oh boy memories. I can't help but think of Marlene from Days Of Our Lives every time Electra Woman was on screen.... I haven't seen the 2016 movie and had no idea that was a thing.

 

You're right!

Guys, Dyna Woman and Electra Girl was clearly an error, but now I can't delete any choice in the poll...

Sorry what..?

 

I went with Tank Girl but I have watched Barbarella many times as a guilty pleasure. Looking at the field though shows just how badly a competent movie (from what I've read) like Wonder Woman was desperately needed.

 

I remember when in some Sony's leaked email they argued that history showed us people don't want to watch Superhero movie with a female protagonist. The problem was they simply never did a good movie.

Probably the most successful movie in my list was Barbarella, and people went to movie theaters only to watch Jane Fonda doing a striptease at 0 g.

Man, I watched Sheena so many times as a teenager and it wasn't for the story or the acting or the action...

 

I think I was not appreciating That 70s Show very well.

 

It was for the excellent soundtrack, right?

 

Did you work at the movie theater?

 

Mum and dad don't care if you are renting the same video, week after week from the video store, because it only cost them $2 to shut you up for an hour and half, so it's worth it.

Or, some people just kept buying blank video tapes, until they had a MASSIVE library of movies taped off tv that would last for ever and ever and they would never have be worried about a shit night where nothing is good is on regular tv.

 

Netflix has killed an entire way of life.

 

Sorry but they didn't sell movies in VHS format? They were for rent only? Or they were insanely expensive?

 

Kids just play minecraft now, or watch celebrities play minecraft on youtube.

 

No, but there was HBO and VCRs.

Back then, there was one HBO and if you were extravagant Cinemax (née Cinevue) and there weren't dozens on dozens of cable channels and streaming services generating their own content so I think people actually rewatched stuff more back in the day. Not to mention there was thirty less years of that content having been generated waiting to be seen.

 

I once recorded an episode of Galactica 1980 on an 8-track tape.

It was the Return Of Starbuck, but I'm not sure why I wanted an audio recording.

 

They had 8 track recorders back then?
I remember compact cassette decks. We had several models but had never heard of an 8 track recorder.
