Even the mom in gremlins. Lots of girlfriends,
Grandmas and moms from the 80s and 90s tv were the heroes or basases, or complex characters.
What the F are you talking about, OP?
Edit: Audiences can tell when they are being pandered to. Ghostbusters with Kristen Wiig was not a well written comedy. Bridesmaids was extremely funny, and stands the test of time. Mean Girls as well, written by a bonafide comedy writer, Tina Fey.
There will always be space for tackiness and flops. But the issue is thinking that a movie is bad simply because it has a diverse cast.
Another issue of course is that movies are written by committee now to be viable to international audiences.
OP, I can no longer see your original post, so I am not sure what you said, but I wish it were still up so I could see what your point was. I apologize for jumping to the conclusion that you are one against “wokeness” which is a buzz word devoid of its original meaning much like “fake news” and “cancel culture” through its use by right wing pundits.
