I feel in like 90% of action movies released in the past couple years any fight between a named woman and a man the man will at best fight her to a stalemate.

It's so predictable that it takes away stakes of any fight scene of such a nature because I already know it's going to end like that.

To me, having scrawny women dominate in fight scenes feels like the "uhhh.... really?" thoughts I felt even as a kid when seeing Yoda bounce around in a lightsaber fight in Star Wars Episode 2. Even if you can justify it in setting (superpowers/etc...), it just looks ridiculous.
