Hey, 'action' doesn't necessarily mean that. Let's make Miss Sarah Robles the protagonist. She would make a kick-ass superheroine, and in the hands of a writer who cared, I could buy her as a romantic lead.



See? She's cute. She's also an Olympic level weight lifter, and possibly the strongest woman in the world? Oh. Wikipedia says she's the strongest weightlifter of either gender in the US. How's that? Slap a mask on her, give her a pseudonym, and she's a superhero.

Have you ever heard of the movie The Nines? It's pretty average, but it does feature a wonderful and heart-strings-pulling relationship between Ryan Reynolds and Melissa McCarthy, who plays a role that could easily have been filled by someone like Zoey Deschanel or Natalie Portman.



His hair is a tragic shade of orange for a while, but its a decent movie. There aren't any fat jokes I recall (there's one that might pass, but it'd be a stretch), and it's just played as a straight romance. McCarthy does a decent job in the role for the amount of experience she has, and is probably the most memorable thing in the movie. Roy from The Office is also in it.
