These people love to shit on "angry incels on the internet" for their movie doing poorly completely ignoring all the loved successful female led movies that aren't hot garbage.
Sarah Connor, Ripley, spiderverse Gwen are all great characters.
It's worth mentioning that each of those characters have been in poorly received movies. Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection, Genisys and Dark Fate, and the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies (all of which I enjoyed more than most people, except for Alien 3 which was actual garbage).
You're right, but angry incels on the internet exist. They shit on everything they think is "woke" and feel validated when movies like this fail. They should not feel valudated. I'd rather go see a shitty movie than give a bigot the benefit of the doubt. In this case, the movie was bad, but not because it was "woke." So both things can be true.
