Female Action Movies Are Dead - Girlboss Fatigue Killed Them (Critical Drinker)

Ballerina and Furiosa - two decent movies with likeable leads, good word of mouth and solid reviews, but both of them flopped. Why? Because Girlboss Fatigue has kicked in hard, and audiences are turning away from any female-led action movies. From Marvel to Star Wars to Lord of the Rings, every major franchise has been overwhelmed by girlbosses, and people are done with it.



The Drinker's observations here are correct. If there was no issue with the overall situation then Ballerina and Furiosa would have made a lot more money, but they didn't. We've had great female led action movies in the recent past like Resident Evil, Underworld and The Hunger Games, so the issue is not with a female lead.
