What's up with all these movies and series that's about a certain character. But then basically sideline the main character by other characters, none really asked for. Especially Disney.
Obi-Wan seems to be just as much about Inquisitor Refa. Then on top of that we have Leia. And in episode 3 another resistance woman is added, so i'm guessing she will also have a sizable role in the future.
We saw this in the Witcher series as well. Where Geralt basically had 1/3 of screen time in his own story.
And Ciri's story in season one was just as snooze, meanwhile Yennefer was shit.
Then we have the He-Man cartoon, where he is basically replaced by a buff woman.
In Wheel of Time, Moraine is all of a sudden the main character and Rand, the intended Dragon Reborn, has minimum things to do.
Hawkeye series is just as much about Kate Bishop.
In Terminator Dark Fate, they Kill off John Connor, making all the sacrifices through the series mean nothing... Only to have a new "chosen one" that's a woman.
Arnolds T-800 is reduced to a joke, and it's quite clear the main focus is about the 3 main women.
Note that it's usually men who get switched for women. You never get to see for example Wonder Woman get partially replaced by a male counterpart in her own movie. People would be outraged if 50% of the movie was about Aquaman in HER movie.
I don't know, it's like the creators want to be as feminist as possible, and then you can't have some guy being the main character.
But at the same time, they know certain established character sells. So it becomes a hodgepodge.
What's your view on it all?
