It’ll probably bomb anyway. And not because the leads are female. We literally have proof in so many other products (be they books or tv or movies or games) that people enjoy likeable and engaging characters, male or female we want good characters.
Ghostbusters had a GREAT spin off cartoon that had a lot of females in it.
It’s going to fail because this movie is a failure.
The same way The Last Airbender, Jem, and Dragonball Evolution were failures.
They failed to get why people loved the original product, they just didn’t care is written all over the effects and acting and writing, they don’t even do a job at reaching a new audience since they lost the original.
A reboot/remake/retelling is supposed to AT LEAST do one of two things. If it can’t appeal to both, then it needs to at least appeal to A) a general audience/new audience, or B) the fans of the original.
If it can’t succeed in either one of those things AT LEAST, then it will fail.
The special effects look terrible, the humor isn’t funny, the casting looks very they just didn’t care-we have actual funny actresses that could be more than just sassy/nerd stereotypes. But they didn’t write the characters that way because they are lazy and wanted a quick cash grab.
So don’t say this is about sexism when the majority of people hate it. You are silencing not just men with legitimate reasons, but women too. This isn’t about sexism for being disappointed and angry, if anything they’re the sexist ones! They silence women who oppose it! They don’t want to give you a good movie with effort and good actresses! They don’t care about us! They just want to make a quick buck!
I’ll happily watch OTHER products that put actual effort and talent and genuine care into products. Movies and games and tv shows and books that actually DO care about female characters and the female demographic.
Not this shill.
