Which type of feminist film is this?


There seem to be two types. There's the one in which women are represented as natural, well written diverse characters that have depth, which I applaud and encourage. And then there's the patronizing type that can't go 5 minutes without referencing the patriarchy, portrays every male character as evil, everything a male character says is wrong while the film's forced, unsubtle political rhetoric overshadows the narrative. Which I tend to roll my eyes at.

I'm hoping it's the former, but I have my suspicions.

Please, no spoilers.

A woke disaster

The first type use to exist. Sarah Connor in Terminator 1 & 2 and Ellen Ripley in the Alien movies. The second type is all these feminist type of movies are today. The problem is I can't just ignore their existence and the filmmakers blame men when their garbage movies fail.
