All Amazons Want Hercules: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''52. A high-ranking matriarch, in a society that oppresses men, falls for the Hero's rugged charms.''

It's often said that [[No Guy Wants an Amazon]], and most [[Lady Land|Amazon-type female societies]] tend to shun the male sex. However, a certain manly type of hero is often capable of winning over these tribes of women, even their leaders.

*** of course, the idea of anyone dominating Balalaika is too ridicolous to contemplate.

* In ''[[Galaxy Angel (anime)|Galaxy Angel]]'', Forte Stollen's secret fantasy is to be a damsel-in-distress who has her life saved from certain death by "A Strong Man, A Really Strong Man", who will then carry her around in his arms like a bride. When she encounter just such a man—one of the galaxy's top criminals, who singlehandedly destroyed an entire planet with his bare hands and was thus imprisoned for life in a pocket dimension contained in an unbreakable boulder—she actually disobeys her orders by actively trying to get him out and manages to ''free'' him, in order to consumate her desires.

* The h-manga ''Isshoukenmei na Kimi ga Suk'' features a subversion: The head of the martial arts club (a girl) tells the boy who confessed to her that he's too weak to date. He immediately joins her club and starts training. While he does get stronger, after a year he's still nowhere near her level—but she falls for him anyway. Of course, this being an h-manga, [[Everybody Has Lots of Sex|it ends about as you'd expect]].

** In ''[[Saint Seiya]]'', female saints have to wear a mask as a symbol that they've renounced their femininity. Traditionally, if a man ever sees their face without a mask, their choices are to either kill the man, or fall in love with him. This was evidenced in-story by Ophiuchus Shaina, who was seen without her mask by Pegasus Seiya, early on in the series. At first she tries to kill him out of humiliation... but eventually she falls in love with him, to the point where she risks her life for him several times.

* Dwight from ''[[Sin City]]'' is already [[Mr. Fanservice]] but his relationship with Gail is a good illustration of this trope. Case in point: ''The Big Fat Kill''. When he returned to Old Town after the events of ''A Dame To Kill For'' (and because he had gotten them into some trouble in this very story), Gail had a gun pointed at his head. He didn't flinch and instead, formulated a plan to get them out of the current mess they were in. He then demanded that she take the gun away. She didn't listen so he slapped her. She responded with [[What the Hell, Hero?|"You bastard!"]] which was followed by, [[Lightning Bruiser|"I forgot how quick you were"]] which was then followed by her [[Slap Slap Kiss|pulling him in for a quick makeout session.]]

* Played straight and subverted within the same breath in ''[[With Strings Attached]]''. The queen of the Warrior Women pants all over the large, handsome, muscular Hunter... but after the small, feeble, exhausted Ringo defeats the village's best male warrior in literally three seconds, she throws herself on him, as do many of the other women of the village.

* Inverted in ''[[Futurama]]'' in "Amazon Women In the Mood." The women of Amazonia attempt to execute the Hercules-like egomaniac through vigorous sex, but they find the wimpy and tiny green-skinned alien to be most attractive.

* In the animated film ''[[Heavy Metal (animation)|Heavy Metal]]'', Den is a 98 pound weakling voiced by John Candy. Sent to an alternate dimension, he transforms into a bald, muscle-bound, loin-cloth-wearing [[Action Hero]], "with his dork hanging out." Den joins a small raid against an evil queen's palace only to blunder into the queen in the dark. When the lights come on, he is clearly grabbing her (very much uncovered) breasts. The queen doesn't mind; a few seconds of animated sex later, she proclaims Den her messiah. About par for female characters in that movie.

* Male example: Brock Samson from ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' fell in love with Molotov Cocktease when, the first time they met, she tied him to the bed and set the building on fire.
