Yeah, because they're the biggest sci-fi films with female leads. That's the point.
The point............................ you.
Okay no I completely get the point the OP is trying to make. I just...think it's not a very good point. Because the point of the exhibit is sci-fi movies with female leads. Them being directed by men isn't really something to criticise in this context.
Highlighting female leaders and voicesfor the future of film isnt a good point, its the only point.
I don't disagree. But that's not the context "the future is female" is used in here. So what's basically being criticised here is...a choice of words.
Right, and I disagree with what those words are applying to and mean. And i believe in this wholeheartedly. We can do this better.
But what they mean in this context is "Here are a bunch of sci-fi films with female leads." I don't really see what there is to disagree with. It's a statement of fact.
Because this isnt about mere inner logic of a statement, but purpose. Dont get lost in the semantics, but the greater hope.
