>>149413369>The fact that this is Pixar's idea of a masculine character is hilarious.To be blunt Pixar doesn't have a good handle on masculine male characters. Think the closest examples are Woody and Remy. And even then Woody is considered a subversion by staff he's a cowboy who doesn't have a revolver in his holsters symbolizing that he resolves his main conflicts without violence oh sure Woody is not afraid to brawl but he won't go for the final solution against a villain. Woody is toned down masculinity.
Remy? He has a natural talent and nurtures and practices with it and he works hard to achieve his dream but you also have to remember that his dream is to become a chef. Not what your average dude aspires to be. While its true globally the elite chef are men in real life it doesn't change the fact that Remy's specialty is cooking something that isn't seen as macho.
And the other Pixar male main characters are all pretty bad at masculine traits. Mr. Incredible intentionally allows his kids to fight psycho criminals at the end of the movie's story which an awful moral. Sully is kind of masculine but they turned him into a soft woobie because he gets attached to that girl. And the rest of PIxar males aren't that impressive. I think its amusing Carl from Up is probably the most masculine however he's an old man who already lived most of his life and could drop dead any second so he's not exactly marketable. Pixar is simply not up to snuff with male characters because there's always a drawback to how they construct them.
