Chickification involves a genuine Action Girl who was Badass at one point, but was derailed into a weak and helpless (or at least significantly less Badass) character, without any In-Universe justification for such a change. The latter is just about a so-called Action Girl who never lives up to her reputation once the plot hits the fan, but more often than not she still goes out to fight. Where are you going to get your Designated Victim for the team to save every episode? What's an executive to do? Completely replace her tough image and capabilities with something more fitting to the Distressed Damsel you need, someone who tends to Stay in the Kitchen or not do anything rather than go out and fight, whether by punching people alongside the others or analyzing the scenario and figuring out a solution so she can help others punch people.Ĭhickification differs from Faux Action Girl. There's only one problem: she's also the only female in the main cast, and you don't have a Non-Action Guy or other similar balancing factor to counterbalance this.
