It all comes under the master plan of 'how to take a ridiculously successful franchise DC.

Or maybe it's just that all Disney is interested in any more is Queens, Princesses and Fairies.

Fine.
Make a Marvel Comics Universe version of The Women (1939).
Then we can get back to ignoring them.

Now that they have the X-Men back in house there’s a lot of solid female characters to choose from. X-Men always had the best population of female characters.

Actually the Ghostbusters movie was a flop because they spent too much on it. For a comedy it made a lot of money, comedies don’t usually pop past $100 million domestic. If the budget had been smart it would have been profitable.

Yep! They’ve already made dozens of all female cast movies (except for the late Sid Haig) on location in the Philippines.

They can run around naked and I won’t spend $15 to get lectured by comic book MeToo’s.

It would be nice if they consider the audience. Men don’t mind women super heros. Comic books are full of women villains and heros. But they are always super hot. Men put on a muscle bound body suit to play the part of a super hero. Women should do the same.

Why? Wonder Women is better than all the marvel chicks combined.

Seriously Brie, your character is literally a plot device... boring and uninspired in comic book form, and just as boring and pointless on screen.

I can’t even fathom what movies will be like 25 years from now. I’ll be 75 so hopefully will be clueless on reality.

Since when has movie-making been about what the actors want? Whatever happened to satisfying what the customer wants?

The former is propaganda, the latter is profiteering.

The ET interview with her, Chris (?) Hemsworth and Don Cheadle is hilarious. She is obviously a pain to deal with, and these three actors let it be known. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81WIkfUAc_o

The Ghostbusters reboot or whatever it was, was a failure before the start....

They have tried to reboot/continue the Ghost Busters for over 3 decades, and it always fell apart because they couldn’t get it right... yet somehow simply going “Hey lets gender bend it” and all the problems just went away??? Sorry, nope.

I am sure the actresses did the best they could with what they were given, but it was just stupid...

“And to steal a title from “son of the beach”, it can be called “Taco Lips Now””

AHHH forgot about that show!!! Where, despite the ‘hip’ idea of the perfect west coast bite, fish tacos were in a discernible context.....

Funny and weird show!

Well, Barbara Brocolli is about to do what SPECTRE and all the other bad guys couldn't do by embracing the SJW nonsense.....kill James Bond.

Get woke and go broke.

And there are a number of genuinely interesting Marvel female characters as-yet-unrealized (or poorly realized) in film that they could work on. They’ve got Spider-Woman (the original, not the new single-mother version), She-Hulk, Lots of X-men women (some of who have been given short shrift in previous movies and need proper outings), Alpha Flight, Cloak and Dagger.

Even apart from mainline characters like Kitty Pride and Jean Grey. I think a Callisto movie could be very interesting, and a proper reboot of Rogue and Mystique would be nice.
