Also the trend is that STRONG FEMALE LEADS cannot have any problems. They are perfect in every way from the start. Estrogen and vaginas and such make this work I guess. So there is no character arc. The first fight scene the STRONG FEMALE LEAD wins easily. And where do you go from there? If you are in modern Hollywood the answer is clear: More CGI explosions.
They had a real strong female lead in Cara Dune and they cancelled her for having an opinion, which they purposely misconstrued.
But how about that Captain Marvel huh?
Captain Marvel vs. Wonder Woman.
A couple years apart, one everyone loved, the other... only the Woke cultists loved.
One saved its franchise from oblivion. The other was a hit ONLY because it immediately preceded one of the most anticipated movies in history.
One had a woman that was strong but also... human. Loved babies. Cared about people. Actually worked together with a man that she ended up loving.
The other had the personality of freaking cardboard and completely inhuman.
