Other than Jolie, the honorary male, name the woman who wasn't a heinous bitch. - David Mar 13, 16:10 5
- There were so few chicks, this would ring a lot more true if it wasn't a cast like 300. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:19 1
  - 300 at least had a reason to be that way. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:21

  - It was lifted straight from the comic like that. -- nm - David Mar 13, 16:45

Well, there was the girlfriend, and the boss.... - TFox Mar 13, 16:07 16
- misanthropic, without a doubt. But I felt the mysogyny. - Reagen Mar 13, 16:12 15
  - Are we really analyzing this movie *this* deeply? It was just a fun bit of entertainment. (spoils) - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:17 10
    - I'm not asking it to be Tolstoy, but I am asking for its characters not to be repellant. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:21 9
      - FYI... My comment was not aimed specifically at you, I'm surprised at the level of character analysis being applied to this film by many people. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:28 8
        
        if that's all you want, there are plenty of Steven Seagal movies out there. - Reagen Mar 13, 16:33 4
        
        Sure. And there is a place for that kind of mindless fun sometimes. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:42 2
        
        those are essentially live-action cartoons. - Reagen Mar 13, 16:47 1

        You can't get away with throwing s**t up on the screen in a time of Wall-E, Dark Knight and Iron Man. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:30 2
        
        Except Terminator movies. -- nm - znufrii si Mar 13, 16:41
        
        I would argue that the characters in Wanted are just as developed as those in Iron Man. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:38
  - Redeemable nihilism? Heh. -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 16:14 3
    - see; Fight Club. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:15 2
      - sounds more like Fight Club without Robert Paulson -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:16 1
        
        Or Harry Potter with guns. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:17
