Dakota is a good actress, it's a shame she's only hired for independent films and third tier Marvel character films these days.

I dont know anything about Dakota, but I could have told you the same.
I find it funny that there are people and organizations that are bending over backwards to make movies pandering to women and girls. Its really funny and my whenever my wife sees it she just rolls her eyes.
And I agree with her.
The premise of promoting women in positions of strength and power is good one but it seems as though the 'powers that be' kind of forgot one major element.
Women are not goddamned idiots.
They know when you're blowing smoke up their ass and rather than be inspired and proud they're insulted by it.
So movies like this tend to trip over their own feet because you're essentially assuming your target audience is a bunch of complete morons who cant see through your BS and then insulting them.
Their reaction is probably not going to go well.
I have a suggestion. Why not write and direct female characters...oh I dont know...like real human people??
Whats the best 'strong female character' of the last several years? I'd contend its 'Black Widow.' Not the movie necessarily, but the character. She was a normal, human woman who hung in with superheroes and was always going toe-to-toe.
She didnt need to be magical like Wanda or Wonder Woman. She wasnt treated as special or need to be protected by 'the boys.'
And she could go from 'badass bitch' to 'loving Aunt' at the drop of a hat.
But it'll take some doing to top the Ultimate 'Strong Female Character' of All-Time, whose award I continue to believe goes to Leia from Star Wars.
RIP Carrie.
