re: Interesting video on Rey and the devolution of female characters in general

I really enjoyed the video, but he's completely ignoring the vitriolic political scene. I think Wonder Woman was closer to the character he's describing. They had her unlock her ultimate power over the death of a heroic man for instance, and plenty of people STILL shite on the movie and claimed it got great reviews because it was a female comic book film.

In short, he's telling half the story. Our very contentious political climate right now from both sides is the other half, and there's very little Hollywood can do about that.
