To me, having female Protagonists is a bit like having pregnant males.
I can never take seriously those movies where the women beat up men. A 50 year old man in average shape can snap a 30 year old body builder female like a twig if the need arises, generally speaking.
So I watch those movies rarely and mostly just for the special effects because the story is not believable.
Movies suck now because of all their ridiculous quotas.
Thank you leftards for destroying almost everything.
When I watch a movie, I want to be entertained by people that can actually act and tells a good story. I especially love a good comedy that isn’t afraid to offend anyone.
Good,
Of course, now they will move on to homosexual protagonists.
No Capes!!!!
When women are the protagonists in movies, they often treat all men as villains by default, and that isn’t something that most men would would like to pay to watch.
Uh, kinda like the WNBA and women’s sports in general. In the last couple of years women soccer players have been bellyaching about not being paid the same as their male counterparts. But somehow it just never ever seems to dawn on them that nobody really cares about women’s sports.
Women’s sports is like watching the B team play. And so it is with movies, despite all the CGI efforts by Hollywood. Despite the massive effort to create a realistic illusion, everyone simply knows that women just cannot do certain things men do... no matter how much they stomp their feet and complain about that.
The entire premise of this story is simply Male Bovine Excrement! They didn’t talk about the TOTAL number of female protagonist movies, they talked about the top 100 grossing films!
Honestly, Hollywood has done all they can to put women in the leading roles of movies. So it isn’t “Hollywood Sexism Rules”.
The fact is the American people didn’t like those movies! Maybe, JUST MAYBE, if Hollywood made movies that people liked - female leads and all - then people would watch them. Otherwise, Hollywood will continue to go down hill - but not fast enough!!
It's the ticket payers' lack of interest, not a glass ceiling. Hollywood is, if anything at all, a whore for the dollar. If those movies made boatloads of money, they would be made.
I don't think they know how stats like this work. To me it says, "Hey, 71% of the movies that made money in 2016 had male leads. People seem to prefer male leads, so we have a better chance of making money with them. Let's make more Male lead movies and maximize our chances."
Well, YOU try saving the world while battling hot flashes!
