Tired: Hollywood's Rebooting an 80s Property
WIRED: The Property is Predator
Fired: The Schwarzenegger Role Will be Taken Over by a Native American Woman

I know everyone's just stunned that they're doing a gender-flip.

And a race-flip too.

It's always so shocking and yet brave every one of the six thousand times they do it.

Amber Midthunder, best known for her roles in Legion and Roswell, has reportedly been cast in the lead role in the forthcoming Predator sequel.

According to both The Ronin and Discussing Film, Midthunder has signed on to star in the project, which leaked reports suggest will centre around "a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior."

Come on, this is a prank, right? You're punking me. This is a Ryan Long Automatic Woke Plot Generator, right?

Meanwhile, Via TheJamesMadison:

Is this something?

At least it's neither a superhero movie nor a reboot.

It has female characters who are original characters and not just gender-bent ripoffs of male characters.

That's something.

Update:

BTW, people have long suspected that the villain Taskmaster -- who is a fan favorite and one of Marvel's top villains -- is actually a woman in the Black Widow movie, because taskmaster wears a helmet that covers his face and EVERY CHARACTER WEARING A HELMET THAT COVERS THE FACE is revealed, shock of shocks!, to be female.

Every. Single. Time.

Well, a leak just came out that yes, Taskmaster, a A-tier villain, is now gender-bent to be a woman because Female Empowerment can only occur by replacing males.

So you have that to look forward to.

A lot of comic book nerds were looking forward to Black Widow just for the debut of Taskmaster. But it's not, the rumor says. Just off-brand factory seconds Taskmaster for Women.
