->I know I'm a Power Ranger, but c'mon. You guys are the ones that really... you know... lit it up. I don't feel like I did my share...Oh, actually yeah, I did do something special. I got turned into a stone statue, and everyone had to come and save me. [[DesignatedDamnsel Awesome]].

->''"Eventually, you meet a ninja and his rad hound, and then you meet someone named Celes. The game talks her up like she's going to be a [[InformedAbility major player]], but in general she's just some opera floozy who jumps off a cliff because she's too stupid to feed an old man food that isn't poisonous. Great character development there [=SquareSoft=]."''

->''"An industrious young woman neglects to charge for her housekeeping services and is [[RootingForTheEmpire rightly exploited for her naïveté.]] She dies without ever having sought her own happiness as the highest moral aim. I did not finish watching this movie, finding it impossible to sympathize with the main character. —No stars."''

->''"When Singer announced that Rogue's solitary ''[[Film/XmenDaysOfFuturePast DoFP]]'' scene had been cut for pacing issues, fan reaction was split between '[[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing Yay! She sucked anyway]]!' and 'Yay! At least they can't [[CharacterDerailment ruin her anymore!]]'"''

->''"...Tom Wilkinson is stuck in a more thankless role as the [[DastardlyWhiplash railroad tycoon]] whose turn towards evil is obvious from the moment he's introduced leering at ''[Ruth]'' Wilson, who becomes just another damsel in distress. In fact, when it looks like she's about to actually accomplish something during the climax, Tonto unwittingly knocks her out with a rock. I feel like there's a scene that captures every wrong-headed approach this film takes, and there's another one."''

->''"''This'' is the Association of World Super Men! You're little girls! We are the '''[[AC:men!]]''' -- the protectors, the hunters, the fighters and the show-offs, and the noise-makers! ''You'' are ''little girls.'' You should be at home with your mommy learning how to cook and clean and... blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-whatever-women-stuff. So leave the super heroics to the super '''[[AC:[[LargeHam men!]]]]'''"''

->''Communism as an ideology had been passionately committed to women's equality and liberation, in every sense including the erotic, in spite of [[UsefulNotes/VladimirLenin Lenin's]] own dislike of [[UsefulNotes/StraightEdge casual sexual promiscuity]]. ([[ValuesResonance However, both Krupskaya and Lenin were among the rare revolutionaries who specifically favored the sharing of housework between the sexes]]...Yet, with rather rare exceptions...[[AdvertisedExtra they were not prominent]] in the first political ranks of their parties, or indeed at all, and in the new communist-governed states they became even less visible. Indeed, women in leading political functions virtually disappeared...When women streamed into a profession opened to them, as in the U.S.S.R., where the medical profession became largely feminized in consequence, [[MovingTheGoalposts it lost status and income]]. As against Western feminists, most married Soviet women, long used to a lifetime of paid work, [[RussianReversal dreamed of the luxury of staying at home and doing only one job]].''

->''"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.
