Hollywood claims that they want to feature Strong Female Characters, and I love strong female characters. The problem is, Hollywood doesn't have a clue about what they might look like. Not today anyway.
Ripley in the Alien franchise. Sarah Connor in Terminator 2. Charly, as I pointed out before, from The Long Kiss Goodnight. Even the Harry Potter series had strong female characters. Most of J. K. Rowling's women were strong actually, even the villians. But Molly Weasley, stands out to me, because she was understated for most of the series, until her family was threatened, and then she was the proverbial Mamma Bear, taking out the primary villianess.
The bad example that everyone is using today is, of course, Amazon's Rings of Prime. The writers/show-runners don't seem to know how to have strong female characters that are not acting exactly like men.
This is Jayne Theory's video They Don't Know What Strong Female Characters Are And It Shows! | Amazon Rings of Power. It is only 5 minutes long.
UPDATE: Apparently Jayne Theory has her Rumble channel set to disallow embedding of videos. That's fine. Click the link above. As I said, the video is not long.
There's a world of difference between a "strong female character" and replacing a strong male character with a female. The woke idiots now controlling Hollywierd are incapable of grasping the difference.
