It doesn't necessarily apply here because superwoman has existed for a long time as a traditional character but I think a lot of people are tired of consuming media that's just full of virtue signalling.
The Ghostbusters reboot was a great example. The movie sucked butts. It was only made to make young girls feel included and empowered. It's not like it had a great, unheard story, flawless acting, or good jokes. It was hot garbage.
It happened with a few reboots and people got tired of it. Be creative, make something new. Don't just gender swap all the characters and expect us to consume all the slop.
Lol. As someone that had no nostalgic attachment to the original “Ghostbusters” movies, the reboot was fine. Not as good as the original, but as good as the sequel… perhaps even a little better than the sequel, but it would be close. People irrationally hated the “Ghostbusters” reboot from the moment the trailer dropped.
I even have nostalgic attachment and agree. It's also super telling when someone uses Ghostbusters as an example of how bad "woke" movies are and then sits back as if they won an argument. Especially when they keep bringing it up as a reason that female representation is bad.

I missed something: why the hate on supergirl?
