Before Disney and Hollywood Went WOKE, Female Heroines DOMINATED!

Back in the day, before Disney bought Marvel and Star Wars, female leads were amazing. They didn't need to replace men, they stood on their own merits.
Rey Palpatine stood on the back of Luke Skywalker. Captain Marvel stood in the necks of the Avengers. Characters that divided the fanbase. Not because they were women, but because the industry went Woke.
It wasn't always that way.
