Man, doesn't the support for a female James Bond highlight the issue of the female Ghostbusters?
Female James Bond is getting a lot of support and optimistic outlook. I'm a Bond fan and I wouldn't mind the change. There's been 26 Bond films and they've told a lot of stories. It's hard for that franchise to create something new they haven't done before.
Ghostbusters is a movie franchise not visited since 1989. It's only had two movies, with a dedicated fan following. Fans have been calling for a sequel for decades and want to see their beloved characters return. The backlash against the female recasting is completely understandable in this case. If they recasted with a new male cast and ignored all the past characters completely I'm sure the backlash would be the same.
I'm not opposed to seeing this movie, in fact I rather like Leslie Jones, and Kristen Wiig's older stuff used to be good. I just don't understand why everyone is screaming "sexist" when someone opposes this movie.
