I don't understand the need to remake movies with the genders switched. Like ghostbusters. I'm sure the female one was entertaining (I haven't seen it yet) but was it really necessary?
Everything is a remake or reboot these days, and Ghostbusters was old enough to be tossed in the reboot pile. It was an all female cast this time because the studio realized women also have entertainment dollars to spend and also like seeing themselves represented on screen. That's all. Everyone's cashing in on nostalgia, and women are asking for more non-romance movies involving women. The two demands just happened to collide on ghostbusters at just the right time for people who haven't watched a Ghostbusters movie in 20 years to feel like complaining.
I like the idea of an adventure movie with male and female co-lead, maybe romantically involved, but it isn't necessary, but they're pretty much equal. Like, he's good at some stuff, and she's good at other stuff, and they both get into trouble and require rescuing by the other at different times.
