@hjones4922 OK, you're right: there IS something wrong with female leads - that is, MODERN female leads. Back in the '80s, Ripley, Sarah Connor, and Princess Leia were realistic, relatable people whom EVERYONE respected, admired, and cheered for. They were strong, yet had fears and weaknesses that they had to overcome, and could be defeated. Today's female leads, crap characters such as Rey and Captain Marvel (another gender-swapped character), are invincible, indestructible, god-powered cardboard sociopathic mouthpieces for the woke agenda, perfect in every way from the get-go, and talking down to all the men, who are portrayed as weak, submissive, and feminine.
Gender (and race) swapping is rampant in TV, movies, and comics. All you have to do is google "list of gender-swapped characters". There was gender swapping of lead characters in the 2004 Battlestar Galactica, but it was done well - but even that was a long time ago, when they still knew how to write interesting characters. Also, by "substituting a male lead for a female lead", I don't necessarily mean on a character-by-character basis. The all-female Ghostbusters is crap, a woman is the focus of the latest Indiana Jones movie and it's crap, and the female-dominated Star Wars sequels are crap. They didn't have to be - but instead of making interesting, character- and story-driven movies, Hollywood chose to make woke propaganda, where "woke" = "women good - especially women of colour; men stupid, weak, or evil - especially white men."
