If there is one thing that I hate in this world, it is when the writers build up expectations, and then don't deliver. You're familiar with this, right?! You think something is going to happen, but then it never does.
Now, that sort of thing always annoys me. And it especially annoys me, when it comes to chest beating. What I mean by that, is that I've sometimes come across movies or TV episodes that either features simians, or Tarzan-like characters, or takes place in a jungle, or just have a general animal/jungle theme, but then, they never include any chest beating, what so ever. And whenever I come across a movie or a TV episode, or even just a short clip, that appear to promise some good chest beating, but then doesn't deliver any, I always think to myself "Missed opportunity!".
The reason why I wanted to bring this up, is because I have recently decided to showcase some movies or TV series that I want to consider "Missed Opportunities", and hopefully let the writers and producers of those productions know how mad we chest beat lovers are for being let down like that.
So, with that said… Let's start the "Missed Opportunity"-Trials!
I know.
ReplyDeleteJane Porter in the Tarzan franchise. They zero make any version beat their chest; not even the Bo Derek, 1999, 2004, 2013, 2017, or Netflix versions. In my headcannon, Jane Porter beats her chest. Fitting since she's a sassy yet sweet one.
It also rock if Ellie Sattler and Sarah Harding beat their chests; those sassy women in Jurassic Park.
It also rock if Veronica from The Lost World (1999) beat her chest. She's wild so it fits.
It also rock if Agnes from The Lost World (2001) beat her chest. She's wild.
It also rock if Anime characters such as Ash Ketchum, Misty, May, Dawn, Iris, Tracey Sketchitt, Dawn, Max Taylor, Zoe Drake, Tea Gardener, Holly, Genki, Flint, Sara Goodman, Kagome, Sakura, aang, Katara, Korra, Asami, Akiza, and Zuzu chest beat. Those plucky kids who be into creatures.
It also rock if Ann Darrow, Mason Weaver, and Jill Young beat their chests. Fits their wild hearts and their bonds with giant apes.
It also rock if Power Ranger girls such as Alyssa Enrile, Taylor Earheart, Tori, Kira Ford, Z Degaldo, Trini, Kimberly, Karone, Maya, Lilly Chilman< Gia, Emma Goodall, Kendall, Shelby, Fran, Vida, Izzy, Fern, and Zoey chest beat. Fits their sass.
It also rock if Zipp, Izzy, Sunny, and Misty form My Little Pony beat their chests.
Also, I wish Blisstina Utonium from Powerpuff Girls after declaring herself not worthless beat her chest before her electro-punch on the ground to fight Sporde. It be a great feminist moment; the damsel out of distress beating her chest; declaring g she's not afraid, and protecting her family. It also rock if she best her chest after her victory.
