Honestly I don't really like Ripley or Alien. Predator fuckin' mogs. I like Hong Kong girls with guns movies. Moon Lee, Yukari Oshima, Sibelle Hu, Cynthia Khan, Cynthia Rothrock, many others... They kick ass. Girls don't just beat up guys in those movies they get beat up and often get killed. You almost never know who is going to die in those movies but it's usually a lot of people. They do crazy shit.
The Wrath of Silence(1994) has girl protags vs a deranged sex killer and it's one of the most crazed kinos I have ever seen.

Charlie is funnier, but before the great Philadelphia Boggening, I would not really argue if someone said that Dee was funnier. Coincidentally when it is the two of them together is when the show is at its best.

Charlie is the funniest. Dennis is the best actor and second funniest sometimes even funnier than Charlie and Dennis & Dee mog Charlie & Mac because Mac brings it down. Dee is third funniest although she is funny as fuck and almost as funny as dennis they're great together really. Mac is way less funny than all three of them but he was funny but he sucks now and I hate him so my memory is tainted.

Because people act like it reinvented cinema when it’s just another competent female lead in a genre that’s had them for decades. Ripley, Sarah Connor, Clarice, Buffy, half the “final girl” canon - it’s not some bold new frontier.

It’s fine to like it but pretending it’s revolutionary just makes you sound like you started watching movies in 2020.

From what I can tell it's just a reference to the city of Babylon:
>It was designed to be a meeting place on neutral ground where the galaxy's powers could meet and work out their differences peacefully. Its founders though the name "Babylon" appropriate, since it too was a central location for business, commerce, and trading; a place where varied people came together
Also there's a reddit post that makes sense that says
>From an in-universe perspective Epsilon III was the original site for the first Babylon station and eventually the fifth iteration, Babylon 5. Epsilon III is a planet in the Epsilon Eridani system. Epsilon Eridani is in the "Euphrates Sector. The Euphrates is the longest river in Western Asia. The Tigris River runs roughly parallel to the Euphrates. In Babylon 5, the Tigris and Euphrates sectors are adjacent to one another. Historically, the Mesopotamian city of Babylon was sandwiched in between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. So when EarthGov was planning things with the Minbari, it made sense for "us" to call it the Babylon Project, especially since humanity was leading this initiative.

I think it has enough love from the general public. I just loved the world they built. The perfect blending of aliens and humans of all different cultures. It was grimy and rustic. It still reflected the past, just upgraded. It did proper dystopia. And Corbin Dallas was the perfect hero. Not a Chad or incel, just a former soldier trying to get by. I loved particularly how much he seemed to be captivated by the Opera. They took their time to show the impact of a beautiful once in a lifetime experience would have on a commoner who’s lived in squaller. And Bruce Willis absolutely sells it.

Whenever people say this about female characters they never mean strong. They always mean "aggressive, abrasive and masculine". They mean, "a macho action hero who out-males the males".

Here's a strong female protagonist: Audrey Hepburn in A Nun's Story.

This is a funny anecdote. I grew up in Warsaw, Poland. When Sailor Moon was huge world-wide, all the BOYS were watching it. Sure, you could say it was just for the miniskirts. But they discussed all the plot-points weekly with each other. Sailor Moon was definitely a heroine that boys respected.

She's the most consistently funny and most of the funniest episodes revolve around her delusion. I didn't think the same at first, but upon a rewatch, she's way funnier than Mac and Charlie and holds her own to Dennis-- who got way more flanderized as the seasons kept adding up so now he just shouts.

People who say this have no clue about her career at all. Before marrying Paul W.S. Anderson, she worked with Richard Linklater, Luc Besson, Spike Lee and Richard Attenborough. She clearly didn't need to marry Paul to get movie roles.
