TheSuperheroines.com: Bending Steel
www.thesuperheroines.com/blogs/updates/1...-an-awesome-reaction
They've mentioned it in passing, but if its a custom from a girl-power lover, I think we have a better chance of seeing things we like rather than pure peril. And if that isn't enticing enough, I think the title is called "Bending Steel"
I'll keep an eye out and let everyone know when/if it breaks......

Your puns are getting as bad as mine .
I think two girl power 'ish' films may have been filmed, because I paid for a 5 min section in an upcoming film, and requested the heroine shows all the things I like to see (super strength, invulnerability, the heroine easily beating her opponent) and that film is called Bending Steel (I've not seen any previews of it so can't say if it's any good) But that isn't the same film as mentioned in their blog, which means even better news I hope

You did this with your eyes open.
I have been in one two many "Kickstarter" type campaigns where one thing was promised and another thing delivered.

Warning: Spoiler!First thing to note is that as I said before, this is not a full custom video. I paid for 5 mins and asked for the video to show how 'super' Firestar is. In the end well over half the film which is 19mins has Firestar easily in control of the fight, and lots of invulnerability is shown, together with super speed a short super breath scene and some super strength, and the film definitely shows Firestar is much stronger than her opponent, and could finish the fight at any moment. However the last couple of minutes the fight turns, and Firestar loses, not something I asked for, in fact the exact opposite, but it was made very clear to me before I paid that that this series was not usually open to customs, as they wanted to keep control of the storyline, and they would decide who won depending on what way they wanted the story to go. I accepted this, and I am happy with what I received, but I wanted to explain this before anyone made a purchase, as I know who wins matters to many
Thx, Daunting!
It DOES appear that tw girl-power films are to be released shortly......this one as well as the "Vega's Victory" one which was in my original post. Hopefully, our user base will support and enjoy (purchase) them enough to warrent more from them in the future.
Concerning Bending Steel, they've now posted a preview of the video here for all those interested: www.thesuperheroines.com/collections/upc...sve-16-bending-steel

Now I've bought several of the movies, I guess I'll buy a few more as they get released.
Still not into most of the photo sets though...

Despite the rather high price tag, I went ahead and purchased it. Here is my quickie review points/comments which won't really discuss the plot/winner since Daunting already spoke of that....
- Eventhough the price tag ($31) is rather high, you DO get 19 mins of action. And that is pretty much start to finish, not a lot of fluff in there.
- Firestar is hot! I mean incredibly hot. Her outfit only accentuates that point.
- The action is typical Super vs Evil material....not a lot of "plot", just two superheroines going at each other.
- Nothing really offensive in terms of "peril"....that said, its a fight -- someone wins and someone loses
- Firestar is hot!
- Nice use of special FX in parts, most noticably where Firestar lands at the beginning and her heat vision.
- Props used to illustrate superstrength were VERY POORLY leveraged in my opinion for "girl power" fans. There was no dramatic highlighting of the feat so the bending of the steel bars at times almost seemed like an afterthought. Sadly another example of some of these outfits not catering to -- or understanding -- what we like.
- Poor use of sound effects, no groaning metal in bending the bars. No cracking of bones when she crushes her fist. No clanging of the bar when they throw it to the ground. Just would have added to the production so much more, IMO.
- Firestar is hot!
- Not a lot of dialog during the fight, especially from Firestar. I guess that lends itself to more action, but Firestar taunting her a little more might have helped
- Decent fight/punches and acting, especially considering the one opponent is so overmatched physically by Firestar
- Overall, I'd recommned based on the length, Firestar's hotness, and the fact we need to support therm to make more.
Looking forward to their next Girl Power video, Vega's Victory......
