she is wrong about there being a male equivalent.
No she’s not but this was beaten to absolute death when TFA came out so there’s no reason for anyone to go on about it yet again (including Matt.F who brought it up this time IIRC). It’s all been said already.
But since you asked:
Not sure what the issue is then???
The issue is unequal treatment of equal male and female characters.
That is a pretty big topic. Are we talking all Star Wars? All movies, just this movie etc etc ? How do you come up with ‘equal’ characters?
I think Rey has been much better received then Anakin, despite them both having similar flaws in how they were written. I think Luke’s Character in TLJ is much more criticised than Rey.
I am not sure what is wrong with me wanting Rey to be a better character is? Just because she is female am I suppose to ignore the flaws?
