    Yeah, several pieces of media that brought women prominently to a franchise that was lacking and my thought was that it seemed like a good direction.

    Then half the time they go off on how a man would be too dumb, too selfish, or too violent to ever come up with such a good idea as the women. Often making the established male characters uncharacteristically dumber than usual to give the women time to shine.

    Have the women, have then be strong, smart, independent. Don’t take frequent opportunities to take potshots at men in general. I know media has been doing this to women for decades, and it may be gratifying to turn things around for a change, but it’s just not great.
