Reminder for every dude-bro man movie there is female chick-flick equivalent.
A prime example is the 2004, endlessly quotable, sleeper hit with a great ensemble of side characters, about an outsider who bests the most popular girl in school.
More films in the🧵 below:
Master and Commander and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Travel, comradary, loyalty it's all there
The Thing and The Descent
Both are about an isolation, distrust, claustrophobia and are almost exclusively male/female only casts.
Gladiator and The Devil Wears Prada
The egomaniac tyrant uses their power to try and subdue someone better than them by any means necessary.
Twilight and The Lost Boys
These are literally the same movie but with the genders and motives opposite.
Drive and Hocus Pocus
Just trust me on this
LotR and Harry Potter
If you were old enough to remember both movies when they came out you know 90% of girls were playing sorting hat games and 90% of boys were yelling 'YOU SHALL NOT PASS' at eachother.
Robocop and Miss Congeniality
The cop who became someone new to take out the bad guys.
@ManletThorin is there any I missed? I'm honestly at loss for the Predator equivalent as well.

I was an opener at a gym and the only employee in the building from 5:30am-9am 5 days a week.
The manager position directly above me opened up. I applied, and got it.
After 2 weeks of working this position I was introduced to the manager they hired for this role. Then they said I was too valuable as the opener and it's easier to fill the manager role than the former.
The 80 hours I worked as manager were paid at $8.75 per hour instead of the $12 I was promised and the next Monday I was scheduled back for opening and only 27.5 hours.
So needless to say I quit. I never missed a day. Did my job so well I was invaluable and they STILL rugpulled me.
Hard work is punished in the US.
This was in 2015. The company went under in '21.
I worked a few other places and got promoted at all of them to a point but I always ran into the same issue eventually.
So I became a landlord and have never been happier.
I have only had a vacancy 2 times in the last 4 years. One of which was because I helped my tenant purchase her first home.
She recommended a friend and it was occupied again the day after she moved.
Being a decent person is better for business than anything else.
Starship Troopers (1997) does NOT work as a satire. I will demonstrate with this short 🧵
First let's address the common arguments people have in support of ST being a satire. Starting with the "False Flag" in Buenos Aires.
No it was not a false flag. Not 1 thing in the film indicates the possibility of it being planned and executed by the Federation...
The film however DOES indicate that the arachnids are capable of traversing space and do so more than once. Including the slaughter of Space Mormans at the films start.
So the argument of it being a false flag is entirely fan fiction.
