I saw someone on Twitter say that they didn't want any more male villains, they just wanted female ones because they wanted to see women get angry, violent, and say "look what you made me do". When I saw this take I wanted to laugh so much because the first thing that popped in my head was to tell them to go watch Disney movies lol.
Like surprisingly, as one dimensional as they tend to be, disney villains are split pretty well between being women and men. So like where exactly are the lack of female villains? Hell, if you watch soap operas from any country you will find as many female villains as male, and a lot of online webtoons almost exclusively have mostly female rivals being bad for love. Idk maybe were watching different content, but I don't believe there is necessarily a lack of femal villains, may be just a lack of certain storytelling with female villains. The only franchise with little main femlae villains I can think of is SW, but now they have Rey Palpatine (lol). Anyways, I just thought it was funny they want unhinged female villains and didn't think of Disney animate films like Tangled. I'm pretty sure Mother Gothel literally says, "look what you made me do" lmao or Cruella de Vil.
Hello Nonny
Its because they do not want female villains at all. They want at best a female villain protagonist like Amy Dunne but at worst a female villain protagonist who is not treated like a villain at all. The former is what people imagine they want but hate it when they get it. I have seen most so called feminist or otherwise women cringe and hate on Daener/ys and stan the most illogically flat written good or bad characters against the narrative just for kicks or running on spite fumes against any anti they hate.
You know, I would love to have a female villain protagonist heroine like say on the scale of Hannibal Lector or Amy Dunne but for that to be churned out more most so called pro women commentators have to be a bit more poised and less kneejerky whenever they get one. Like when Amy Dunne in Gone Girl became a hit the most persistent backlash came from women because they thought she isn’t a good representation precisely because she is bad and a hypocrite. Same thing happened to proto Amy Dunne aka Alex from Fatal Attraction so much so her actress Gwen Close lost the AA race as well. She was just “too anti feminist” because she “went psycho for a man and lost against a homely wife who gets back with her cheating husband!”
Be a little more simplistic when it comes to reaction and feedback. Most Hollywood executives are simple creatures who only understand ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ anyway.
