Well, I feel like a-hole/misogynist as of late. With that revelation about the new Ghost Buster film being an all female cast, I felt kinda miffed at it. I wasn’t outright angry to the point I wanted to rant/rave about it. At the same time however, as mentioned, I feel annoyed by notion of it. If they added in one or two females to balance things out, sure, go for it. I have no problem with adding in females. Now pulling all the guys just so you can do an all female cast, no way.
Anymore, I feel like I’m just the monster social media portrays the “cis white male” to be when I see news media about “switching” things up. The change of Thor to a female was another example. If they did an African American male, I have no problem because it’s a male. Norse Mythology has always portrayed Thor as male. I know the legend/thing behind thor in the book usually states that whoever is worth to wield Thor’s hammer shall be granted the right to do so, etc….
Again, I’m not angry at the thought of Thor being a woman for the comics, I just don’t see the point in it/don’t understand why. I guess it’s just the mainstream event right now, and it’s the proper thing to do when you want to garner more fans since fans = revenue.
