For the 21st century I do agree with you. I just think politics has become too identity based and performative for movie writing to ever come close to the great female leads of before with Sarah and Ripley. Everything is just too much "look im a strong and independent woman" instead of just showing them be that.

I'd say Furiosa, Katniss, Hermione, Lydia Tar, The Bride are probably my favorite female leads of the last 20 years

Katniss

just a badass character with actual empathy to her and she also is allowed to have flaws that make her human. Most female leads are like Rey: "perfect" because the writers are too scared to show a woman with flaws.

Idk I just remember absolutely hating how her character was written back when I read the books

It’s been a while could have a different opinion

Maybe not crazier, Furiosa is pretty wild, but there are more action set pieces per minute. Furiosa has a little more exposition because it's a prequel and is trying to set things up.

its certainly better than True Grit. One of the worst movies I've ever seen

this movie was actually so f***ing fire and it pisses me off that the only conversation around it is about f***in box office and if people will watch female leads.

like this is actually a great movie

They should rename these movies to The Furious Furiosa Saga
This ain’t no “Mad Max Saga”
Women are leading the charge now

when this movie suddenly blows up on digital and they greenlight Furiosa 2, 3, 4, and 5

You'd think this s*** would be a hit considering its pure action and octane whist having great direction but I guess that's not enough
