My biggest issue with most strong women characters in action movies is they seem to be swappable with a male and nothing changes.
They’re strong characters who are portrayed as a woman.
Take Ellen Ripley for example: strong woman. Can’t be played by a man as the character no longer makes sense. Has to be a woman. Someone else would get it wrong.
Also I’m getting tired of the “I had X amount of brothers” or “dad taught me Y” as justification. Why can’t a woman be strong on her own? Why does it have to be a man making her strong?
