Re: DC's Plastic Man Film Changes Screenwriter, Will Have Female Lead
It's labeled as a comedic action adventure. Women are leading the writing charge. I expect it to be okay. So here's hoping they make a good Mr. Fantastic. I mean Stretch Armstrong. I mean Plastic Man.
Give it a chance and let them succeed or fail, I say. Judge based on the content of the movie and not the gender of the writers, right?
Or is a woman still being called Plastic Man, or what?
I'd click the link to find out, but then I'd have to visit CBR.

Yeah, it just means female writer(s) leading the project. Not sure why this is news, when it was announced in 2018, it was said that Amanda Idoko was the writer. Is it a female-only writing team or something, or is Amanda no longer a part of it?
Didn't these stupid a holes get the message yet with Ghostbuster 2016, Star Wars and the latest Terminator? How about this, be creative and make original movies with a female lead. Anyone remember Ripley in the Alien franchise?
At university, I did an article about representation of women in films. I Had to choose a female director, I chose Penny Marshall. Mostly because she was in Laverne and Shirly, so I thought it was a good idea to have someone who started out as a "tobelookedatness" as stated by Laura Mulvey, to then move up into a senior role in film-making. After discussing her career, the films I picked were A league of their own 1992 and Riding in cars with boys 2001 both of which accentuated struggles that women face, the former being women's sport, the latter being women's career aspects.
I got a high mark and was well respected. So, yeah, I don't know what this article is about, I just wanted to toot my own horn.
Having said that, and this is a more to the contextual point of the thread, it's better for a woman to direct a film about women as they know what a woman is.
