What???Look, the basic default in the superhero movie is to appeal to the male audience. Period. So you get a ton of superhero movies. And if they succeed, great. And if they don't, then it's for all the regular reasons.But if, god forbid, you have a superhero movie that is led by a woman, then every single time, it is a referendum on whether or not you can even have ... um .... those types of movies. And every success (and there are plenty of successes!) is completely discounted (see, e.g., your comments about Brie Larson, who starred in a movie that made over a billion dollars), and every failure is because it had the temerity to have a female lead, which is somehow threatening to men? That casting a woman as the lead might erase, humiliate, or sideline men?Look, not to call you out specifically, but we really need to get beyond this point. It's 2023- we should be able to have action movies with female lead without worrying about men feeling marginalized. I mean, how can that even be a thing? It's not like there aren't enough male superheroes out there, or there's a dearth of roles for them in action movies .... right?</blockquote>
