What Hollywood and Disney fail to understand is that audiences, both men and women, don't actually hate female led movies.
What they hate is bad writing.
Since 2019 half of male writers in Hollywood are no longer there. Makes sense.
Ryan George summed it up perfectly by mistakenly calling these movies miss-lead movies.
Matriarchy didn't replace patriarchy, it became it...
Sigourney Weaver played the hell out of that role in Alien. I can't see no man and or certainly no other women playing that role. She killed it, on all 3 of the ones she was in.
There're 4 she was in, I can't tell if you don't count one of the four movies intendedly😂
@@flyingdusk
No, you right! Resurrection, after the prison planet one?! With my man that play in the TV show The Rock. You right, I truly did forget the 4th one. Thanks for the correction. They cloned Ripley in that 4th one.
You're talking about a role originally written for a male actor
There are no problems with a female-led films but there are so many in female-led films that espoused a toxic misandrist ideology on top of bad acting and storytelling.
Now that is a worthy topic. Make a movie by females FOR females.. pretty much saying "It isn't for you" to the boys. Then complain loudly when it obvious fails. After all just blame the guys. Always blame guys. It can't be the writer, planning, finances, actresses... nope.
one of those led movies is in my possession, only because I bought the ghostbusters box set and it was a part of it. I practically got it for free, I feel ripped off
You were 😅
I unfortunately saw Ghostbusters 2016. What particularly offended me was how the women sexuality harassed the male secretary. This was at the height of the me too movement. I was accused of sexual harassment by someone I've never met during this time. Upon investigation she accused me because I said to someone else I was voting for Trump. I was exonerated but was told no political talk in a place of business. Only if your male apparently. Sorry for the rant.
@@brooksroth345 I'm excusing the rant because the need to vent sometimes hits us all, as for all of the problems of the movie how it treated the male characters for me is one of the biggest flaws in that worthless movie. but given the attitude shown by the guy who handled critics I am not surprised if feminism was strong in that weak beta
I asked my girl friend if she wanted to go and see any of these female led movies? She said " HELL NO, women are boring." She is into toxic males like me!
@danwhite1198
I get what she's saying, as from what I understand a lot of women have that problem, but as a writer who's created several female characters, I'm curious to see if certain types of female characters would appeal to her.
All of the women that I know personally do not like super hero movies mostly because if you have seen one, you have seen them all. Women like the good looking men characters being men unless they are the types who are intimidated or jealous of men. Try to create some female characters who are at least pleasant or the opposite of Brie Larson!@@DemonicRemption

Oh my comment was erased, probably because I posted links. Regardless, it's a good thing I take inspiration from anime and manga as opposed to wokeness. Look up the webcomic "Shining Serenity" and "SpellCaster Demon Hunter issue 1" some time. But something I neglected to remember while responding last time was not everything made to appeal to women has a female lead.
As like you said the women you know like male leads, and they're not the only ones. Which leads me to believe that what we're getting is films made for the type of women that Hollywood execs know. i.e. the pampered princess who has everything handed to her.
So you as a writer who wants appeal to women as well as men, looks like I'mma have to do this myself.
If you want my opinion; make your female character pleasant and likeable and above all leave out the attitude! A strong successful female character is one who can accomplish her goals without being a total hateful insufferable bitch. These women are an embarrassment to normal women.@@DemonicRemption
Your girlfriend sounds like a pick me. Probably missed out on all the good movies like Studio Gibili one
Studio: [puts girl bosses in movies]
Audience: [fails to turn up]
Studio: "Where are all the women?"
Audience: "Well they're not in your movies."
When female led movies does badly you never hear: Why aren't women for supporting female movies?
You'll hear: Men don't like strong women!
A black female pirate? Sounds like a winner 😂😂😂😂
Nothing wrong with female leads. Nothing wrong with films with female leads. Everything wrong with movies that are badly written and feature unlikeable main characters. Maybe instead of sticking it to the audience, these writers should try giving us characters that would actually WANT to spend time with their audience. Maybe then, the audience would respond by, I don't know... showing up? Oh, what am I talking about. A strong female character doesn't need an audience. She doesn't need money, either. That's why these movies are so successful. Oh, wait... they're not.
Love this work. Keep it up. You have earned my subscribe, give us more!
Thank you very much 😊 🙏🏽
Hope to have something new out by end of the week.
Women and men have always had separate paths when it comes to entertainment, the issue comes when women are forced into men's entertainment and that changes the whole thing into something made for nobody whatsoever
It also depends who you chose to be the head of that story telling. If you chose female writers that can write for many types of audience rather than ones who actively refuse to write for anyone but people exactly like them I think you’d quickly realise that being ferociously unwelcoming to other audiences can make a story unapproachable even to the intended audience. People can sense when something is full of spite.
No they haven't and in the case of female actor historically they've been regulated to less important roles, stereotypical roles or caricatures. Joss Whedon explains this when talking about why he created the character of Buffy...essentially the character is a rejection of the horror film topes that involve female characters i.e. the blonde damsel in dress always in need of rescuing.
@@gloriathomas3245 Joss Whedon isn't a good example to cite
@@leedobson why?
I don't think there's anything wrong with a Female-Led film. The problem is they are putting a Female-Led to a popular film franchise which is popular with males, like the MCU. To me, this is what happens when you let a girl in an "Treehouse All-Boys Club". For me, boys like man stuff and in their treehouse, they have comic books, action movies, spaceships, manly heroes with action figures, etc in it. And then one day, you invite a girl in. At first, she's kind of cool, she likes the same thing as the boys do. It's fine at first. And then, she invites another girl friend and more. But you later notice how they are slowly putting in things in their treehouse, like curtains, a tea set, dolls, pink stuff etc, and the next thing you know, the girls are playing tea party with the boys manly action figures. And that's when the boys walk out. They took their favorite boy treehouse and turn it into a girl treehouse with all their stuff in it and they can;t take it out. Sometimes, they come back to see when the girls gave up and go away, but sometimes, they never do. The girls mock the boys by playing their manly action figures and are like "These are girls toys now". That's how I see Disney, Star Wars and Marvel now.
When it's from Hollywood there's a lot wrong.
Pinpoint accurate!!!
On point!
Oceans 14 or w/e it was called.
It blows my mind how modern movie makers are acting like we never had female leads before. Xena warrior princess. Kim possible. Ellen Ripley. Mulan. No no no. Never existed.
The 'Victim Grift' is a profitable business. Only problem is that no matter how much they "fight" to make things better, things are never allowed to actually get better. Because if things are better... there goes their argument.
Also you forgot to put in Terminator Dark Fate and to some extent Charlie's Angels 2019
The Elisabeth Banks did the 2 predecessors movies legacies dirty.
@@user-zj2op5yw4v honestly the 2 movies from the 2000s never had a Legacy they were just sexy cheese.
Hope your channel blows up
Brother.
This is a good video.
Glad to be a new subscriber.
And I'm turning on notifications.
Keep up the good work and it will happen.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
Everyone loves Ripley from the Alien franchise 😂😂😂
Written by a man. Dude you are on fire 🔥
Fuck the Hollywood Woke Agenda! It’s losing more money than they’re making with the exception of Barbie. They really need to end this shit and take notes from the last two Dune films, Godzilla Minus One, and Oppenheimer!
There's nothing wrong with a female led film, as long as the story and characters are good. A good example is one of my favorite movies, and a classic directed by the late great Penny Marshall- A League of Their Own. A classic that takes place during WW II that has to do with the AAGPBL and stars Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell.
That's the problem, the story usually is terrible. I do love the Marvel's though.
Women writers in Hollywood don't know how to write themselves. 🤣
Dude, love this video. You’re doing great. 😂😂😂
The problem is they are over powered with no flaws and an attempt to make the "strong" by hating men doesn't work.
This is the very best examples of their total bullshit! Good job.
I already seen Madame Web only because people are saying it’s worse than the new Megamind movie somehow 🤷♂️, and yet it’s actually the opposite 😩😩😩😩 Sure Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate did ruin everything about how the first Megamind was great but at least things happening for it (actual fights, people in costumes the entire time etc.) but for Madame Web did absolutely NOTHING in that movie 😫😫😫 All it did is waste time focusing on those boring characters and desperately trying to be a thriller. Don’t get me wrong not every female led action movie is necessarily bad like Wonder Woman 2017 and my favourite one would be the Korean movie called The Villainess (believe me that one is worth the watch 😃)
Thank you for spelling "led" correctly.
Or storm. I’ve seen it spelled strom on a video’s description
But not writen.
Coffey, Deadly China Doll, Angel Fist or China O'Brien could not be made today. Even SALT, Barb Wire and DOMINO (Which is based on an actual person) could be enjoyed in 2020's.
You taught me an hooorrrrribbble thought crime : Duck-splaining. I love it. You're great at it.
@@didierfavre2356 Thank you so much!
What was right with female led films of the past that worked hand in hand with male counter parts that weren’t the bad guy? Ridley, Leia and many others. They weren’t trying to be men or demonize them. The story and plot were all that mattered. And, just saying, i haven’t seen the Barbie movie and don’t plan to.
You need to get over to Paramount+. They are straight murdering Halo and it's main character Master Chief!
Master cheeks.
People should start making parodies of all these failed woke movies in which they blame the audience and call us racist and sexist. Race and sex swap all the characters but use the same script
Funny thing is, they would probably perform better 😅
I mean, Disney keeps cutting off its nose despite its face I mean really they actually think that a pirates of the Caribbean with a black gay female Jack sparrow is going to do well then they need to fork over some of what they’re smoking because that’s some really good shit
Female lead or female centric
Are too terms that spell doom for any movie or tv show.
So what about Buffy The Vampire Slayer then. That market as female led and turned out to be an influential show. The same could be said about Night Of The Comet..
@@gloriathomas3245The problem was never the female leads but how recent characters are being built. Buffy was fun! Night of the Comet is a cult classic, but most modern female leads are often very predictable, flawless, overpowered and succeed easily. That unfortunately became a trope. And any character with such characteristics, regardless of gender, nationality or ethnicity will be boring.
Black Panther 2 was palatable cuz it was written with a male lead in mind but they had to shoehorn Shuri in because of Chadewick Boseman demise so Wakanda Forever is a female lead movie almost by accident rather than design.
Disney The Bad Batch work because Omega is flawed or at least nerfed (pretty sure they gave her that bulky energy bow to hide the fact she could be on par with Crosshair if given an appropriate weapon) wich make her and the show far more interresting than other featuring Mary-Sues.
5:24 That when we get movies like BROS!!
Biggest problem with modern female lead films is the female
Great Video, just got a new Subscriber.
Welcome to the Duckside, my friend 😁
The funny thing about the Barbie movie, my little brother and Dad liked watch the Barbie movie when watched it.
The Descent from 2005 is the only good movie with an all female cast and it was profitable because it's a horror movie that didn't cost over a hundred million dollars to make.
Exactly. Make any movie you want. Just temper that budget with the audience that's willing to see it.
I'm happy to say that my female characters are very well written 🕺
If Rey had guns like that I'd pay to see them
The only thing that is making me uncomfortable is her funny accent
No good female led film, ever had to beat the audience over the head with the fact that it was female led.
It was just a good film.
Can you imagine if Ben-Hur or Apollo 13, were pushed as male led films?
We definitely live in a matriarchy. Even many males are like women now (not to mention liking men too),
There's always been great female led films (Wizard of Oz, Sound of Music, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Disney's old "Snow White" movie), I see no issue there. I do have a problem with the propaganda surrounding some of these new movies. The men are often portrayed as incompetent, villainous or a mix of both (ex. In the original Star Wars, Luke, Han and Leia were all heroic and competent figures, while in the Last Jedi, admiral Holdo is portrayed as hyper-competent and always in the right, while Finn, Poe, Luke and Kylo are portrayed as baffoons, screw-ups or both; in the old Avengers movies, Black Widow was a worthy warrior and hero on a path to redemption, but the male Avengers were also positively portrayed and had a chance to save the day, in the new movies, the women outshine the men (ex. In Thor Ragnarok, Valkyrie is a clever and competent warrior and Hela is a formidable villain, but Thor and Hulk are also portrayed as heroic and competent, while in Love and Thunder, even though Thor saves the day, he is portrayed as an oaf and objectified and Korg is played off as a joke, while the goddess of thunder and Valkyrie are perfect - the first is a new improved Thor and the second rules Asgard)). Also, the fact that EVERY movie these days is female led leaves men without any film of which they are the target audience. When this trend started, I was for it because I see nothing wrong with the odd female led movie, but now that it's EVERY movie, it's become annoying. Personally I wish it were more or less half and half (not that there should be quotas or censorship, just that it would be nice if there was always at least one movie playing that appeals to men and one that appeals to women).
Well stated. If someone is truly great, they don't need to tear anyone down to hold that status.
Remember Ironman 2 and how Scarlett Johansson had all our mouths on the floor quietly drooling? Compare that to her last avenger appearances, they made her as androgenous as possible. Sad
That was her last hurrah. She’s hit the wall since then.
I came here hoping to hear Donald talking. But instead is just some guy talking.

We had so much destruction and loss of life from all those bombs
It's been so many, many years since I've went to the theaters and seen a movie. I don't want to be talked down to or see the message of the month. I want to be entertained like they did in the old days. I used to get excited going to see a movie and then be worn out and excited from watching a good movie. Now, I either read a book or play my Xbox. What's the point of making a movie if nobody is going to watch it? or pay to watch it? You can keep your gender swapping, race swapping, diversity, message of the week movies to yourself.
most movies i see have strong female charterers 😘
I loved the Ghost Busters movies growing up, and I thought it was intriguing at first to find out the ghost busters were all women.....until I saw the moments where Melissa was getting slapped by her friend.....I wouldnt believe for a second these obnoxious women would have the power to take out evil spirits and ghosts.
I respected Agent Scully because she was a skeptic with a cold attitude, not because she was trying to be the loud comic relief busting a bunch of jokes while also pulling out a bunch of different weapons
I watched Madame Web, but mostly because I am a Dakota Johnson fan. I'm a Dakota Johnson fan because I saw every square millimeter of her 'au natural,' in Fifty Shades Of Gray, and I liked what I saw, if you get my drift.
I love good female characters love it but not at the expense of men. Its like you dont get we men want to like you but you want us to lay down and let you stand on us give our money and like it what no HELL NO
But whenyou openly say stuff like this you love to make men uncomfortable. Who says that then complain when men are not going if you tell me you don't need me why would I support you than and I'm sorry to say women don't support you like that. that's why you need us. Women are great but not by women standards but by men and other women hate that. One woman for the one world no woman likes to be lumped in together with another woman.
Real Sum
Here in Belgium we have plenty of female led movies en nobody complain about it because we love movies more if movies have female leads because there are more women living in Belgium than men. Ps do you know that our first Belgian superhero was female yes our very very first superhero was a female and her show was released in 2006 and our 2nd superhero was a male and he was introduced in 2010 4 years after the first season in 2006 of the tv series called Mega Mindy aka our very first Belgian Superhero and Belgium have also other movies with female leads 3 female leads a girl band as female leads that girl band is called K3 and they have movies since 2004 and nobody complain about that they were female leads.🤨 i think that American male are a little ani female that's ironic because the usa is also a country that have more women than men like Belgium and we love women because we respect women we have learned that in school and at home.🇧🇪👌🏻and the Barbie movie is amazing i watch it every week.👌🏻
🙄🙄🙄🤮
commenting for the algorithm.
1:45 using that clip from the director's interview about her movie about actual arabic men mistreating women makes about as much sense as people who still think Brie Larson was saying Captain marvel wasn't made for white guys.
Tuff👊👊👊🏹
1:40 You really need to know the context around why she was saying this, firstly this was about 10 years ago, and it was in relation to honour deaths in India, where a male family member will kill his sister or daughter because she brought dishonour to the family by being raped.
She’s evil
It is way past time to end that out of context quote by Obaid-Chinoy. She was speaking at a conference about her documentary about the problems faced by women in Pakistan, which included "honor killings", arranged marriages to underage brides, and rapists literally being lauded for their actions. Should men be proud of the men who do these things? Or should the men who do these things be made to feel uncomfortable?
She may have been speaking in regard to different subject matter, but it does give us a peek at where her mindset is regarding men. There are women who lie, cheat, steal, murder every day. Yet you'll never hear a man in a prominent position, saying he enjoys making women uncomfortable. Criminals should be made to feel uncomfortable. Gender doesn't matter.
She's a proud Feminist, which is her Right to be so, but then she failed to specify who she wants to make uncomfortable. The individuals who committed those atrocities, or like she said, "men?"
i liked papper girls❗
Female-led flops
Aside from films with an overt appeal to females (like the Barbie movie) I think there is a kind of quota on the number of females which are cast in a movie above which it is rejected by the audience. This quota is psychological in nature and mostly unconscious. Men are favored because they are more interesting to both men and women.
can you actually back up that claim in any way or
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍🏽💯
We got next
Ignore Sharmeen. We dont even like her here in Pakistan. Shes all negativity and noise
Halloween Alien great movies Speed 1 & 2 Shirley Valentine also good written film but film today that are female led mostly garbage
The studio either want to show they’re an ally or lecture using a degree in some sort of “studies” class
Woke led
Is this ai? Lol
Some of it
They lack the p00ntang i desire it from my media that olden stuff has in amounts
