Just because an action/comic book film has a woman in the lead, doesn't mean the film is "woke" or has a "feminist agenda"

I often read the comments from trailers of films I'm excited to watch and one being "Terminator: Dark Fate". Yes, the trailer was underwhelming. Nevertheless, the trailer doesn't indicate if the film is good or bad or else Suicide Squad and Godzilla: King of the Monsters would have turned out to be stellar films.SOME critics appear to take issue with the fact Dark Fate has women taking center stage, from Mackenzie Davis' Terminator to Natalie Reyes' Dani Ramos to the return of Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor. Accusations of it being woke, of it being feminist propaganda and I'm confused because what do these critics conceive as feminist propaganda?So Aliens was feminist because Ripley was the lead? Kill Bill: Vol.1 was feminist because the lead is the Bride?I find it curious how the same critics who accuse the Left of being snowflakes are the first to complain when a action film comes out and has a woman as the hero.If it was a film about a woman who was killing men and it generalized men as rapists and abusers or indicated women were superior to men, you could say it was extreme feminism. Yet, none of what we've seen in the trailer for Dark Fate indicate these fears aside from the fact it has three leading women and we still don't know how central a part will Arnold Schwarzenegger have. As for the omission of John Connor, James Cameron has said he'll be in the film, we just don't know in what capacity.Even the complaint about Rey in the Star Wars film. I don't like Rey, not because she's a woman and anyone who accuses the film of being feminist is misguided because I didn't see the film has having a feminist agenda, but because she's poorly written. You don't benefit a character by never having her struggle or allow her to experience proper development. We've never had that with her. I also hated Sam Worthington's character in Avatar. A human who suddenly becomes the One? No, thank you.I don't like when gender becomes a central focus on a lead, be it male or female. I just find it condescending when you have a character victimize oneself over and over again because he is a boy or she is a girl. It's not heroic. It's whining. via /r/movies http://bit.ly/2Kkrlvx
