Henchwomen Fight

Movie Name : Spawn
Actress Name : Melinda Clarke
Character Name : Jessica Priest
Year : 1997

In 1997 movie Spawn. Actress Melinda Clarke plays as villainess Jessica Priest. The funny thing about superhero movies is that they kind of started with something that is more like horror movies at least for me, with movies like Spawn, and another less known movie series like Darkman, they had a dark theme with a touch of comedy, and the concept of them having to cover their faces made sense as these characters were more of villains than heroes, or at least about taking revenge from the people wronged them, not saving humanity. 

I remember having so much fun watching Darkman, maybe someday will watch the entire series all over again.

The effects in this movie looks so good even by today standards, the protagonist seems to be a hitman who went to assassinate his targets with a rocket launcher.

Our villainess appeared around 9 minute mark, you can't help but falling in her love from first sight 💖💗🥰💞.

Our villainess with her boss killed the hero for him to be sent to hell to meet Clown played by John Leguizamo.

Damn, the original story of Spawn is very tragic, the way he's feeling emotional pain that seems very hurtful than physical pain when he was hiding his face from his daughter and still want to be with his family, it's so emotional.

It's unbelievable that they manged to make such body transformation in the 90s, it looks better than many modern CGI.

Clown is kind of Satan in this movie, him and Spawn encountered some satanists and Clown was like "I hate these wicked satanists", guess Todd Phillips isn't the only clown who hates his own audience.

Our beloved villainess confront the hero around 40 minute time mark, after he broke into a private party he wasn't invited to thinking it's masquerade, so he came wearing his costume, and when he found out it's not decided to ruin it for everybody else, so our gorgeous villainess tried to stop him, but sadly failed. 

Although Jason Wynn was Jessica's boss, but the movie basically had two main villains who were good, Jessica and Clown, as for Jason Wynn, he was worthless villain.

Our villainess Jessica is one of the most iconic female villains of all time, I love her so much, it doesn't matter how much time went since the movie was released or how many time I watch the movie, Jessica will always be one of the greatest villains of all time, I love her so much 😘😘😘.

Movie Name : Black Scorpion
Actress Name : Kimber West, Athena Massey and Shae Marks
Character Name : Iris Lookingood, Gail Waters and Babette
Year : 2001

Since Black Scorpion is now available on Youtube, let's cover it for some good old escapism.

We will start with episode 2, the episode starts with the heroes going after two bad guys, let's call them agents Smiths, now the heroes are being chased by the cops, the cops started shooting at them, then they shot barrels containing toxic waste which caused them to leak, the good old times, when toxic waste had the beautiful great color, now they would probably make it grey, dull and boring, the show is trying to capture a comic book vibe, which is so cool, modern shows have a color bankruptcy problem, and I don't mean that they should make everything colorful in a celebratory manner, but use color to give impact to something, even if it doesn't make sense IRL, like what they did with the barrels in this episode!!

 The heroes manged to escape the police and the police cars going after them flipped, so the heroes being chased by cops and even maneuvered the cops and flipped their cars, and they are still heroes, modern Hollywood would have characters who are way good-doers than these heroes and would call them villains, so, when I say they really want to erase villains I'm not exaggerating.

Ok, this scene will explain the crisis of modern Hollywood and how it's creatively paralyzing and suffocate art, we have our villainess Dr. Gail Waters AKA Hurricane origin story, Dr. Gail Waters is a scientist who found out that the water is contaminated with toxic waste, she went to examine the water, and as a result of that she got superpowers..

Now, let's say a committee saw such origin story, what modifications they can do, first of all, she's a scientist, the committee will order them to change that, because it may make people distrust scientist, now she's just Miss Gail Waters, but there's another problem, now she's a woman, you can't portray a woman as evil, so now we have to gender-swap her to be Mister Gail Waters, is it Ok now, of course not, we still have a problem, the scene suggests that toxic waste would give her superpowers, we also have to change that, as people may think toxic waste would give them superpowers which is very dangerous, so now he doesn't get superpowers, is that all? Of course not, the villain now will fight the heroine because he care about the environment, you are not allowed to portray environmental activists as evil, so the motive can't exist, also, we can't portray toxic waste in a colorful green color, let's make it some bland boring color!!

Our gorgeous villainess Babette appears for the first time with the evil mayor who is responsible for polluting the waters. 

The two other scientists who were with Dr. Gail Waters apparently developed some octopus powers!!

Damn, I love Dr. Gail Waters' evil laugh 😍😍😍 I really miss evil laughs.

The episode is so fun to watch, yet if Hollywood morality police manged to put their hands on it, they would suck it dry and not in a fun way!!

 Now the final fight, the heroine went after our beloved villainess to save the city, she beats her male assistants very easily, then defeats her finally and save the day.

 Let's check the third episode, as The Flash gave the good guys their Iris, Black Scorpion also gave us Iris Lookingood played by Kimber West, Iris appeared at the beginning of the episode flirting with her boyfriend. This episode is very similar to Spider-Man with Peter Parker and Mary Jane, as she beat her fellow officer while wearing the mask and then kissed him and he couldn't stop thinking about her, which is kind the exact opposite of Spider-Man, but the idea is similar of falling in love of the masked superhero. 

Our villainess set a trap for the heroine where she staged that she's under attack to make the heroine get close to her so she can uncover her face.

When her boyfriend who was a photographer tried to take her photo and expose her identity, she fired a laser on his camera and blinded him, like, WTF is wrong with heroes?

So, the heroine's friend Veronica came with a new ad campaign for fashion and used a drawing of a superhero and superheroine for it, let me say whoever this superhero is, he got a big dick LOL. 

After our villainess' boyfriend had eye surgery, he turned into a supervillain and started laughing evilly, I would've turned into a supervillain too if I had a surgery in USA without health insurance.

So The boyfriend who now became the supervillain Flashpoint rob the city in order to have laser to blind the whole city with the help of a German scientist or something and of course our villainess.

The heroine fight Flashpoint, the fight is kind of laughable, but not boring, which I can't say about modern Hollywood fight scenes if exist, thankfully Iris came to save the day and knocked the heroine out and saved the villain.

The heroine fight the villains towards the end of the episode and defeat them, this won't be the last time we see Iris and Flashpoint, but for this episode, they were defeated.
