History Quotes / StayInTheKitchen

->I believe it’s a biological function of men, because we tend to be larger than women, to be protective of them. If I were to try to zero in, comic-book-like, on when masculinity went awry, I’d say it was when Music/RodStewart sang, ‘You are my lover, you’re my best friend,’ rather than allowing there to be two people in his life who served two very important functions.

->There’s an alternate cut of the episode where Trip and Travis resolve their problem by building a tree house. T’Pol spends the rest of the episode trying to guess the password.

->Now, the elephant in the room. The thing that overshadows the actual game: Sonia Belmont.

However, due to a poor translation (or possibly a [[OpenMouthInsertFoot poor choice of words]]), Igarashi added that another reason he removed ''Legends'' was because the idea of Sonia, a female vampire hunter, was too unrealistic and unbelievable for ''Castlevania'' fans because she was a woman.

->Most of this game is amazing. You'll have shootouts with everyone from hill people to the Mexican army and if you're more than 10 feet from town, there is always a cougar behind you. However, if you take a mission from a woman, you can forget about all that fun. When you talk to a guy, he wants you to get on a gatling gun and kill buffalo rapists. When you talk to a girl, she wants you to play a [[RhythmGame rhythm action]] game to feed her pigs. A woman's idea of a mission is a scenic wagon ride or driving her fussy cattle out to pasture, and she will be nagging at you the whole goddamn time.

->If you look up 'rogue' in the dictionary you'll see that it's the polar opposite of how the character is depicted in the initial ''[[{{Film/Xmen}} X-Men]]'' trilogy.

->''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'' was a show conceived in feminist or at least pro-woman terms. Conceived by a woman writer-producer, Jeri Taylor, along with Michael Piller, Voyager was the first Trek series with a woman Captain. Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) was an interesting mixture of Kirk-style heroics, nurturing, maternal sensitivity, and thoughtfully enquiring scientific curiosity (Janeway is a scientist as well as a Captain; unfortunately, this aspect of her persona [[{{Flanderization}} was downplayed in later years]]). Whereas ''Voyager'' had a strong female Captain, Janeway and several other strong women characters, ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'' features two female characters who represent two sides of the debased woman in patriarchy, [[StrawFeminist the tough woman denounced by hostile males]] and [[HystericalWoman the fumbling, wan hysteric.]]

->''"Most of this game is amazing. You'll have shootouts with everyone from hill people to the Mexican army and if you're more than 10 feet from town, there is always a cougar behind you.

->''"Now, the elephant in the room. The thing that overshadows the actual game: Sonia Belmont.

However, due to a poor translation (or possibly a [[OpenMouthInsertFoot poor choice of words]]), Igarashi added that another reason he removed ''Legends'' was because the idea of Sonia, a female vampire hunter, was too unrealistic and unbelievable for ''Castlevania'' fans because she was a woman. What about [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIIDraculasCurse Sypha]], [[VideoGame/{{Castlevania 64}} Carrie]] and [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Maria?]] So much for having respect for the series.

->''"Princesses Leia and Amidala are not simply damsels in distress in the ''Franichse/StarWars'' films, they are decision makers and figures of governmental authority.

->''"If you look up 'rogue' in the dictionary you'll see that it's the polar opposite of how the character is depicted in the initial ''[[{{Film/Xmen}} X-Men]]'' trilogy. Many fans viewed Rogue's decision to nullify her powers by taking [[{{Depower}} The Cure]] in Ratner's ''X-Men 3'' as a betrayal of her character, but her choice was actually completely in line with how Singer established her in his movies. Movie Rogue has absolutely no reason to be proud of the powers that brought her nothing but misery...The only time Rogue comes close to being as badass as her comic book counterpart is when she's suited up for [[CoversAlwaysLie promotional photos that don't reflect her usage]] in the movies. She's such a milquetoast that it felt overdue when her spot on the team was finally outsourced to former cameo queen Kitty 'I'm nothing without [[CoolPet Lockheed]]' Pryde...When Singer announced that Rogue's solitary ''[[Film/XmenDaysOfFuturePast DoFP]]'' scene had been cut for pacing issues, fan reaction was split between '[[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing Yay!
