A film from my watchlist is leaving Netflix, so l have to watch it now. This is what I dislike about streaming services and why they don't replace owning films.

Karen David is a great actress and singer and by all appearances a great person, who I know from Pixelface and Waterloo Road. Though in the latter case I didn't realise it was her... Because of her I watched Galavant and that was such a great experience. It's a medieval comedy musical. Also because of her I watched Fear The Walking Dead, which made me discover other great actresses and which I'm still following. People may also know her from Once Upon a Time, but I was already following that...

Now I'm watching an early film she's in: The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior.

In the first few minutes, toxic male pride already gets two people killed, but it's a good thing it starts off with a girl trying to become a warrior and not being allowed to, with the story highlighting the injustice of that. At the moment I'm at now the quest is by three people, the obnoxious guy, the hero guy, and the woman. I'm still waiting for films where the female characters get the adjectives.

She's on a side quest now, which sees more activity than the main quest.

The Scorpion King 2, ending

So many films end on a 'and the boy and the girl lived together happily ever after'. This teases going that way, then in the last second doesn't. I somehow like that.

The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior is a fun watch, but the story doesn't make that much sense. It's great to see Karen David of course. The film seems aware enough of the usual tropes to not blindly follow them while still hinting at those, but it isn't smart enough to count as a commentary on the state of fantasy action films.
