Males have massively more:

1) Testosterone

2) Physical strength

3) Aggression


So, yes, they trend towards more violent activities.

Cant remember if there was the same angst over Ripley and Sarah Connor.

Obviously there was not so much interwebs when they were on the scene so its hard to know, dont remember much if any and any uptake in slack by print media.

Not at all, because those characters came about originally and organically. They weren't born out of some sort of shoe-horned in agenda to push a certain portrayal because that's what's socially hip when the films were made.

kathleen kennedy was made head of lucasfilm when disney bought it...she's made it a priority to integrate women into all facets of the star wars films. has said one of the spin offs will have a female director.

i think 95%+ of people don't give a **** about who is in it, or who directed it, or who wrote it. if the writing, story, acting, and directing are good, the movie will be good. male or female, brown, black, or white lead is completely inconsequential.

btw, the SJWs will never be happy no matter what, so I don't really see any point in coddling them by specifically choosing to cast X, Y, or Z to address some perceived slight. main character in force awakens is obv a woman, second main character is a black man, and two people at comic con used their question in front of the world to ask JJ Abrams why there weren't more asians in the movie. lol. there is even whining about no transexual characters. no matter what you do, you can guarantee there will be outrage from some corner.

There are a handful (literally a handful) of women in the the world physically stronger than I am.


But I'd liked to **** every single one of them.

Start doing sexist bans, really. It's the same thing.

I usually find Cotton Hill's posts to be ill-considered and disingenuous, but for once he has hit the mark. This film can't be contrived or forced. I don't want a precedent to be established such that the next 13 Star Wars movies do not emerge originally and organically.

Reading your posts across forums make you seem like the quintessential angry sick old man, shaking fists at clouds and skateboarding hooligans, displacing anger felt over a changing world you haven't approved of.

This makes it even worse. Create a good story with good characters. Stop pandering to a certain demographic that demands a specific quota of actors/directors, etc. That's going to fail miserably.

I can't wait until we get a transgender, black, non-binary, half-asian, body positive lead who is a rebel who lives by her own rules and kicks ass better than all the cishet men scum that are ruining the galaxy with their oppressive sexist, racist regime.....because that's where it's going.

If you don't care as long as it's a good story, why bitch before you see the story.

I think he and Jar Jar were close. Finding out that he was actually a Sith Lord must have taken a toll on him.

Man, the demographic angst from the "actually it's about ethics in film casting" brigade is fantastic.

Also love this thing of "story must come organically", as if there are magical stories waiting to be plucked from the air complete and unchanged (which would, naturally, only star white males), rather than human beings writing them.

TFA was decent, but it was the most uninspiring, paint-by-numbers, safe script and characters they could have come up with - and with good reason, Disney need to protect their investment and I for one want to see them make money, as it means more Star Wars films.

However with spin-off films, as Marvel have shown, you can take risks. So if some people roll their eyes at seeing Katnis again, when we have two more instalments of katnis in the main trilogy, that's their prerogative. It doesn't make them racist, sexist or whatever.

The problem with the hunger games fad isn't female leads, it's ****ty movies. The hunger games movies suck, the divergent movies suck. I'm sure whatever YA science fiction they cram down our throats next will also suck

Neither of em are a traditional sci fi movie though.

I do love how me complaining about no originality has somehow morphed into I only want movies with white males because: sexism.

That's the biggest problem with the SJW community they see everything as racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. When you see the world through that lens everyone except the people in your cult are secretly out to oppress you. It's just not true.

My biggest complaint with TFA is that it's just ANH redone slightly. If there were a male lead in place of Rey I would still have the same issue. It's not me secretly being a sexist pig who hates women.

The new movie's plot looks to be:

Independent headstrong young girl who kicks ass saves the galaxy by helping to blow up the Death Star.

I just saw that movie. I don't need to see it again.
