@pratik @Miraz Thank you for your answers and I hope my contribution is not too offensive. I don’t want it to be. I’ve been thinking for a long time about whether to write about this at all. What words do I use for it? Black? People of color? Do I add more examples of diversity or not? The more I think about it, maybe it’s also about the pointlessness of remakes in general, which you now want to make even more accessible through a diversity bonus. Or maybe it’s just about the money.

The films and series I mentioned are fictional stories. So nothing real is distorted here. Rather, one now deviates from the original.

Strong women in the film industry were rare, that’s true and yes, it gets better, which is nice. When I think back, I can only think of Ellen Ripley from Alien or Leia Organa (Star Wars), Sarah Connor (Terminator). But then we’re already in the 70s and 80s. And women in such roles are still absolutely rare.
