The Cool Girl

Here she is. She is not like other girls. She is easygoing, never angry and effortlessly beautiful. She's one of the guys, she drinks beer and likes to hang out and doesn't care, but she's got looks as well. Never complains, never demands and is always fun to be around. Her only character arc is in relation to the male protagonist. What is she? The cool girl. The myth that doesn't exist. A male fantasy with a pretty face.
Here is a list of 20 movies to reflect on the evolution of the cool girl trope. How it was established (There's Something About Mary), preferred over the girly girl (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), questioned (Black Swan), deconstructed (Gone Girl), challenged (Captain Marvel) and how it evolved into a different thing (The Cool Mom/Wife trope - Bad Moms).
The list based on the video "The Cool Girl Trope, Explained" by The Take. Enjoy!
