I don’t have a problem with the character, just the way she was written especially in the second film, I didn’t watch the third. And that film was terrible. The plot was bad, all the characters were bad, their adherence to star wars space stuff was bad

I don’t know if the writers were bad at their job or whether they were required to change it

Luckily we don’t need to be quite so diligent with the choice of wifi chips as we used to. Too many still have binary blob drivers from the manufacturer

The bit I didn’t say was I meant such a character in a hero’s journey style story

It works in that genre. The main guy in Nobody also was pretty good from the start. The fast and furious flicks also don’t do a great deal of character development

Those all have characters presented as good at whatever the movie is about

If the worst happens there are many instances to choose from, and it seems easy to get your preferred username

I think that’s it. I was taught how to project my voice, how to use an authoritative tone and it has helped me get leadership roles. It’s a skill, and it’s a skill that any leader ought to have, in a film, at least.

Both men and women can do it, but you need to learn and I haven’t seen nearly as many girls trying to learn it as boys

Your comic book examples with one woman on a team of mostly men are probably due to the audience for conic books having been almost exclusively boys. I suspect the one woman was indicative of the market share going to girls

I wonder if umbrella academy’s gender balance was due to the power archetypes being perceived as gendered

Funny thing with books is you can tell whether the intended audience is men or women by the cover art, but the art is (perhaps was) all aimed at women because they don’t find a significant number of men buying books, the man’s wife or mother buys them for them

So books aimed at men have cover art aimed at attracting women buying for a man.

Who complained about the female led movie Alien (93% audience rating on rotten tomatoes)?

I think the issue is that the movies aren’t written well. Rey in the third trilogy never saw a challenge she couldn’t master on the first attempt. A story about a character born perfect and never faltering isn’t fun
