More Deadly Than the Male: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Species]]'', the decision was made to make the alien hybrid female "so she'd be more docile and controllable". A female scientist observes that "[[Genre Savvy|You don't get out much, do you?]]"

** The sequel subverts this, however; it turns out that a male hybrid is much more dangerous (and can turn tame female hybrids to its side pretty much just by existing).

** Katara can also have shades of this. While she doesn't have the raw power of Aang, she can be downright terrifying when angry. Most notable when she's on the receiving end of chauvinistic comments (things tend to break around her) and when hunting for her mother's killer {{spoiler|(where she used bloodbending)}}.

* In ''[[Samurai Jack]]'', Jack and his friend The Scotsman are off on a quest to save the Scotsman's wife, a good head taller and bit wider than the muscular Scotsman, from being sacrificed by some demons. Jack and the Scotsman get to her, nagging about their lateness and pathetic fighting styles, and get her to the main hall where they are surrounded by hundreds of demons. Jack and the Scotsman fight to their last bit of energy when the Demon Lord orders his people to kill them and put the "fat one" back in the pot. [[Berserk Button|The Scotsman's wife does not take kindly to being called that]], so she [[Curb Stomp Battle|jumps into the battle alone beating back every single demon]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|before taking down the Demon Lord himself.]]
