So having all the main characters be men instead of women is “stepping out of gender politics”?
To be fair, Disney can’t write a single good female character to save their life. The only characters that have had any staying power are all male characters: Cassian, Din, and Grogu.
The only female character I’d say that’s even decent from Disney so far is maybe animated Hera? But she just sucks now, along with every other character that’s been carried over to live action.
This gender thing was never an issue before Disney took over. There were absolutely amazing female characters in the EU and the Lucas Saga. Disney and the people they hire to write and create these shows and movies just suck.
