Not even a Star Wars fan, I'm a trekkie through and through, but a friend told me today that this Captain Phasma character was played by a female actor.
Look at this though! Her armour isn't feminised at all, no bolt-on tits or absurd curvature! It's entirely functional! And apparently the character doesn't even take off her helmet all the way throughout the feature, no retarded scene where the defeated warrior slips off her helmet to reveal a delicate face complete with pouting lips, fluttering eyelashes and a full face of makeup.
I know this a stupid post but shit guys, I actually feel emotional.
As a woman this is incredible for me, it's amazing, god you've no idea how this feels I'm so overjoyed.
Seriously I imagine this is how black folk felt when they first originally began seeing black actors on television.
Yeah, it's fantastic. She's not a huge character but the representation meant a lot.
>>25373222
and then she got thrown in the trash where all women belong

I'm imagining a dude getting worked up about that other metal Star Wars character.
Who gives two shits about genitals when it isn't porn anyways?
>>25373222
It's just a shame she did literally nothing the entire movie.
>>25373245
Kekmax
Tratior!
What an original idea, can't think of any time it's ever been done before
but yeah i see your point OP it is pretty great
>>25373222
She was a useless non-character. No wonder you relate.
Phasma got a pretty good deal. Didn't have a nigger trying to hold her hand constantly.
>I'd pull my hand away too
>>25373222
Nice b8.
Yes this is original.
>>25373313
is c3p0 lgbt?
>>25373222
Sorry to burst your bubble, but she was only cast to throw Tumblrina fandoms like you a bone.
>Phasma is portrayed by Gwendoline Christie in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. The character was originally intended to be played by a male actor. However, Christie was cast in response to internet backlash against a perceived lack of female cast members.[5] Christie is slated to reprise the role in Star Wars: Episode VIII.
>>25373222
and she did nothing the entire movie exceptyielding 100% when threatened with a blaster and helped the traitors to single-handedly cripple the Death Star 3.0 and allow the entire planet and its inhabitants and all of the progress of the First Order and its SuperWeapon to be destroyed simply because she didn't want to be shot with a blaster or even TRY to fight any of the 3 people threatening her.
Sure sounds like a woman to me, you're right.
>>25373222
She is pretty hot
I want a militant authoritative girl to boss my dick around
>>25373222
congrats, you relate to an androgynous side-character more than the actual FEMALE character.
females are stupid and hilarious.
Episode 8 will be Phasma's time to shine. Nobody gets a badass name like Phasma and badass chrome armor (with a fucking shoulder cape!) unless they themselves are badass.
Plus she could probably kick Boba Fett's ass.

Apparently she'll have a bigger role in the next one. She's not going to be the new Boba Fett
>>25373242
I just still can't believe they actually didn't stoop to that bullshit where the character whips off her headgear to reveal a beautiful woman underneath. I'm in absolute awe.
An actual, legitimate, real female character that did not once have her appearance used as a ploy in order to further the development of a male character and who's presence in the film relied entirely on her physical ability as opposed to her aesthetic ability.
This is amazing to me. I can't get over it. I can't.

This amount of excitement just makes me feel bad for trying to shit post you.... Why take this small, pathetic glimmer of hope away from you?
>>25373560
Her name is a reference to some other flick made by the director.
>>25373621
Yes, yes you autist. We all know that she was ambushed and forced to do shit with a blaster to her head. Maybe actually give her some time in the other movies and EU to do something cool before completely writing her off.
>>25373644

>>25373644
>I clearly stated in the OP that I've not watched the movie
No you didn't.
>>25373617
The character was stiff as a cardboard cutout and folded as soon as someone pointed a blaster at her which resulted in the death of a planet and countless lives.
>>25373620

REJOICE !!
>>25373841
this is pretty exciting
What kinds of armors are your favorites?
I like things that look functional above all else and I really prefer the person's face is covered.
>>25373718
>I'm not a Star Wars fan
>a friend told me about this character
>apparently in the movie
What is context.
>>25373769
I don't really give a shit about the behaviour of a character, not every female character has to be le stronk female empowerment tuff grl. She could be a total weed and I'd still be excited about the androgynous presentation of her character.
The fact the movie didn't once rely on her physical appearance not even deigned to remove her helmet is, as a woman, incredible to me.
I seriously don't expect most men to get this because you're all used to having male actors cast and portrayed on merit of their acting skill or the strength of their character, but women in media are almost exclusively cast and portrayed based on their looks.
There are so many ugly male actors in the industry but the measure of ugly female actors is a total pittance unless they're being cast in a comedy role, and usually even then it's a just a fat woman who would normally be pretty if she weren't fat.
This one they didn't even show her fucking face. At all. That's amazing to me.
You just never see that ever. It isn't the done thing for female actors.
>>25374018
It's happened before anon.
>>25373710
>woman would rather destroy most of the First Order rather than sacrificing herself for the greater good of her faction
yeah you're right, surely she can redeem herself :^)
>>25374060
Really? Where?
I genuinely want to know so I can go research this shit.
Not fictitious characters though like the AI in Her though. I mean real flesh and blood female characters, no spirits of hovering balls of lights or shit.
Fuck you. As a die hard star wars fan let me tell you from the bottom of my heart to go fuck yourself.
Star Wars isn't supposed to have many female characters at all. It's a space opera by men and for men. Women in Star Wars should only be used as a 'damsel in distress' type of plot device. The original trilogy had about 2 females through 3 movies. Women in the star wars universe have a specific use and purpose and your opinion is not only wrong but it damages the storyline because that faggot kike JJ Abrams caters to the casual SJWs like you at the expense of actual Star Wars traditions.
If you want muh strong female characters go make your own trilogy.
>>25374174
Tough, we're the new and current market so you're going to have to get used to it you gigantic baby.
You can fuck off with your "damsel in distress" bullshit too.
>>25374152
There have been females in movies who do what Phasma has done which is just showing up and playing the lead as a male would with no muh femdom.
>>25373222
>As a woman
I as wondering what the point of this post was.
>TRASH COMPACTOR LMAO
Fuck you JJ
She was a bigger disappointment than Fett.
>>25374174
>people celebrating the creation of a female character who's existence and role has absolutely nothing to do with her appearance

It's sexist to make a man do all the heavy lifting for you.
fun fact most pedophiles are star trek fans
it doesnt mean if you like star trek youre a pedophile but if youre a pedophile, you most likely like star trek

Phasma is a token character. I'm sure half a dozen fatties with Internet connection could have turned Rey into a walking hamplanet if they squealed loud and long enough. It's basically public relations' job to cave in whenever somebody whines.

I'm a fan of foreign cinema first and foremost so make of that what you will.
I'm a fan of the Maysles brother's work, if that's obscure and pretentious enough for you, or do I need to go into a diatribe regarding the early works of Lynch and the social/psychoanalytical undertones presented in Eraserhead?
Der Himmel uber Berlin?

Naw man. Sexy voice, shiny armor, woman in control? That last scene with her aside, character was cool as hell.
