Okay, when will Hollywood learn that they can’t re-gentrify every successful movie franchise? Didn’t the latest Ghostbuster’s re-boot teach them anything? Rather than giving a predominantly male cast franchise success over to women to try to repeat the success of the male cast, why not try something novel & come up with a new concept that better utilizes women in female roles.
Next we will be expected to endure male leads in upcoming Tomb Raider films. Or perhaps a male Ripley in future Alien films. How about a male Aeon Flux? No?!? Or better yet……….how about…………WonderMan, he teaches bad guys to tell the truth with his magic golden lasso; fends off bullets with his brass bracelets, flies in his invisible gyro-copter, all while wearing skimpy, ambiguously non-male, bathing suits, and charms all of the baddies with his lip-sticked smile!
It doesn’t work, it’s insulting to movie goer’s, and it effectively kills other wise highly successful movie franchises. And add to that, stop re-booting every movie franchise on the planet. How many movie goer’s remain that can stomach one more new Batman lead, or Superman lead, or SpiderMan lead. 3 films and out, start over; 3 films and out, then start over again. How much more boring can they get?
