So I really don't think I'm being unreasonable, but apparently the person who said this does. This is about a particular upcoming movie (Captain Marvel), but you dont need to be interested in this stuff to give your opinion.

If you don't know, Captain Marvel will be the first solo female lead superhero movie in the Marvel franchise since they started producing films in 2008. I went onto a site talking about it, and found this comment -

Just like feminist stood up to have women be stronger im standing up for men, its one thing to be equal and another thing to now have women seem stronger then men in everything. First they take Ghost Busters now they want to take Oceans 11, The Incredibles, and now the Marvel Universe I will not watch this. Keep things fair or else the rolls will not be equal but instead reversed.

This pisses me off so much. I'm not what you would call an "active feminist" or anything, but I don't know a woman alive who wouldn't want to be treated the same as men. I completely disagree with whoever the dipshit that posted this comment was. Apparently all male leads are totally fine, but a couple of all female lead movies is apparently "unfair". It's the same to an extent with Doctor Who.

I will agree that Ghostbusters was shit though. It was. Stop basing everything that has a female lead with fucking Ghostbusters. AIBU to be this mad? Until a while ago, I had no idea some people felt this way and I think it's making me pretty cynical (Well, more so). Would love your opinions on this.

On a slightly different note I think James Bond has had its day. It's misogynistic theme is outdated. Give me mission impossible or fast and furious where the women are kicking ass alongside the men.

But tom cruise as green lantern is just stupid.

I would have discounted his opinion at his spelling of “rolls”.

Tom Cruise could play a Green Lantern - he's the ideal actor for Ch'p

I loved female ghost busters

I love tom cruise but I think they should leave green lantern alone 😂
