Yeah, it's funny that they'll accuse the same people whose favorites include the early Terminator, Alien, Matrix, etc movies of being sexist against strong female roles.
Sorry, but no. I loved the original Ghostbusters because of the chemistry and skill of the original actors. Weaver, Hamilton, and Moss were right up there in my favorites along with Schwarzenegger, Reeves, and Stuart.
Stuff like Ghostbusters (2016), or The Marvel's aren't bad because of female leads, they're bad because of bad writing it acting and also because trying to successfully follow a massively popular series is hard, which is also why latter Terminator/Alien/Matrix/Batman/etc movies tends to be an uphill - losing -battle, nevermind if you're replacing part of what made it popular.
But it is still possible to capture the magic with the right mix of old and new, which is why "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" managed to crawl back from the grave after the 2016 attempt (with a young female lead, because that lead was very talented in her role and had a good script to act from)
I'm looking forward to the eventual movie where Rogue sucks Capt Marvel's powers out and leaves her for dead. Hopefully the writing will be good in that one.
