I have to agree, but maybe this isn't supposed to be a consistent thing. I wouldn't even say it's happened in more than "No Trespassing," in the incident with the dog (while the hypnosis stuff before that was a waste of time, Bree was being an idiot during that period too). That scene with the dog was funny, so if it's only being done the one time, then it's cool.

If there were currently a battle of the sexes. I am sure the girls would win. The two male leads are completely weak. They are being transformed into bumbling idiots video by video. You can see it happen before your eyes. Jonas and Daniel are surcoming the popular dynamic. You know what I meen you've seen the sitcoms and commercials. The dumb bumbling man, smart woman dynamic that I am so tired of seeing.
It almost seems like it is being done so that we can see how good a leader Bree is, but I don't know the real reason. It is actually quite disgusting to me to see it. If you want this dynamic I would rather have strong male characters with a stronger female character. Then a strong female lead and weak male leads.
Its just all types of frustrating. |
thats exactly my sentiment and that's why i had to discuss it. i had to express my discomfort and see if anybody else felt it too. i'm all about femanism but i'm not a big fan of lg15's current "weak males with females are stronger by default" thing... meh. i'm repeating you. |

i meeped too
i think this is more of a product of the fact that most of the watchers are girls. i'm sure there are plenty of guys- but less.
and i like the girl power!
ETA: just realized the double entendre on "watchers"... unintentional
aren't the watchers we've seen all male anyway? there's another point

What weak males? The male characters don't seem weak to me -- they just seem like average guys. And Bree's not particularly strong -- she's pretty much wandering around aimlessly.
Now that Oppy and Tachyon are gone, the strongest character anywhere in the series is Alex. And she just got dragged off by the Order.
The whiny new girls aren't strong either. They're just annoying. And Taylor is pretty ineffectual as a detective.
If you think that this is a "girl power" series right now, then you can't possibly be "all about" feminism.

Sorry, Diane, but "*meep*age" makes me  -- and I chose the "meep" option. The other two options made even less sense than "meep." |
