The John Wick vs Ballerina shitshow is such a perfect case study of how men make movies depending on the sex of the main protagonist.
John Wick is male. Therefore, he gets to be an assassin in his 50s, well known by everybody, respected and considered the best of the best. He spends most of the movies injured in some ways and with lots of scratches on his face. He's always in pain. That's almost the point of the movies. Grunting, grimacing, bleeding, sweating, and still fighting.
His character and the actor portraying him are considered impactful enough to carry the movie, and therefore, the movie posters only show John Wick. Even the names of the movies are simply "John Wick."
Ballerina is set in the same universe, and John Wick even appears in it. The main character is not named Ballerina however, that's just the name of the movie because it's girly tee-hee. The actress was clearly chosen for her looks and not her acting; her face barely moves.
The character is like 18 (can't have a woman in her 50s as the main protag of an action movie it's blasmephy), but the actress is 37. It's obvious throughout the movie that our "18 years old" has done cosmetic surgery and most of her face can't move.
She looks like an instagram model with the stereotypical neoteny (baby face) and with filters on. She has no credibility.
She's always wearing lots of mascara and lip gloss and her face looks perfect no matter how many people she fights! Not a scratch until the very end of the movie! Lip gloss still on! Hair perfect! Magic! Again, no credibility.
At this point you're wondering what her name is since it's not the name of the movie: it's Eve. No comment needed I think. What's her last name? Doesn't matter. She's a nobody, a literal noob, she has to learn everything and John Wick beats her ass easily. No credibility. For her first fight she's wearing a sexy dress and heels. She wears heels for the entire movie.
The movie poster is pink (girl girl girl get it? tee-hee) and she's either wearing the sexy dress or figures in the middle of a multitude of characters with the word "John Wick" because the directors didn't feel like her character could carry the movie. Indeed it can't. Because they can't make a female character.
Misogyny really impairs men's creativity. What's a female character, if not a "barely legal" doll?
