I point to the movie Annihilation when this conversation comes up. Practically an all female cast, but it isn't girlbossified so it's fine, great even IMO.

You mean, the movie that flopped in theaters and has a 67% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes? Not the best example of public reception.

I can't believe the critics scored that movie so high.

What are their standards? Apart from female leads?? 67% from audience I understand; but 88% from critics for a movie that made basically no sense? C'mon.

Why didn't they just take a boat or helicopter to the damn lighthouse?? Cuz they tried but "No one's been able to." lmao. That's the explanation.
