Grow upI haven't heard that one yet, but there is some new transgender super hero on the Supergirl show, the ghostbusters are now women, Oceans 8 are now all women, didn't they make a black/gay Spider-Man recently (or one of the super heros that has always been a white straight male), Dr Who is now a woman.I think there is a new Bat girl or something coming out that has her as a lesbian?
There is a push to make James Bond a female. Or Indiana Jones.
Why can't Laura Croft be fine?
I'm not talking about Black Panther, or Hunger Games where the lead is female.

NAN are you really concerned you won't have any fictional straight white male imaginary superheroes with make believe powers to look up to anymore? This is the most old man yells at cloud take you've had in some time. "The Ghostbusters are girls!!!1!1!1!"

No, it's more of Hollywood is trying too hard to make up for not having strong female/minority type characters in the past by overdoing it the opposite way.

Yes, this absolutely grinds my gears. They installed a water bottle filler in our building that issues lukewarm (at best) water. I take a Yeti rambler full of ice water from home, which lasts the entire day, but if I add water from that fountain, it melts the ice and is gross.Water fountain at work no longer chills the water.

I'd rather have room temperature water than ice cold water.
Does that make me a serial killer? Probably not.

Of the top 10 grossing films of 2017, 3 had female leads and none had any major non-hetero characters.NAN are you really concerned you won't have any fictional straight white male imaginary superheroes with make believe powers to look up to anymore?

So far in 2018 none of the top 10 films have a female lead (although one could count A Quiet Place and Ant Man and the Wasp as having a female lead) and only 1 film had a "major" non-hetero character (Deadpool 2)

You can't go by returns, that's a measure of what the audience wants. Nobody saw A Wrinkle In Time because it was **** despite getting studio support.
By trying to change the argument you're supporting NANs premise.

Give me a metric to search for then. If top grossing doesn't count (why is that?) then what? If someone says "all movies are going feminine and gay" I figured showing the movies people want to see most are, in fact, not would show some sort of evidence. I don't understand how it not only negates the counter argument but proves the initial one.

Crap. I've been sucked into a NAN-PFIDC vortex about race relations in media.

This all started with that Batman movie where they put nipples on the bat suit.

The one that really comes to mind for me is that the next Iron Man was supposed to be a black woman. I have no idea if that ever got off the ground, though. That's not accounting for the Ghostbusters and Oceans rehashes, etc.

I think the new Thor (in the comic books, of course) is a woman as well...

Wouldn't it just be the ratio of feature film lead characters in question to feature film lead characters (population)...?
Why would you use gross to determine that? How does that work?

All you need to know is that it's NAN complaining about it, meaning it's not a real problem.

Thing is at what point does all the spoon fed pandering start to get insulting?
"Hey, chicks. We understand your self worth in your real lives is fragile, so were taking a movie thats already been done and everybody loves, and just doing it again....but with women, you know like you! So if you're above 10 years old and still need a female lead to model yourself after, heres Melissa McCarthy. Oh and don't worry how bad it is, the standards are set at rock bottom because people will have to like it or they will be seen as sexist woman haters. Guuuurl Power!"
