Why Aren't There Any Strong Hispanic Female Leads?

Recently, we have had strong leads in movies. Especially with Wonder Woman, we see that strong female leads are possible and inspire so many people. We should move forward even more and have a strong, Hispanic female lead. Yes, we have had amazing Hispanic female leads in previous movies like Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez Cote de Pablo. Still, they are being taken out of the light by their other male leads. So why hasn't there been a Hispanic female lead yet?

By having a Hispanic, female lead we will be showing little girls how they can be strong too. We will be showing a whole race that they shouldn't live under someone else's shadow. They are amazing woman out there that are more than just their good looks or a good body. They are smart, leading and have done truly extraordinary things.

Hollywood is run by men. Lately, we have seen what goes on behind the scenes and it is truly horrifying. Women need to be vocal and strong in telling their male co-workers that they are here for work. Men need to know that not everyone is into them and to keep their hands to themselves, which is taught to preschool kids. By having more female leads that express power, by not just Hispanic women but by all races, they can rise up and show what they are truly capable of.

I am not saying that male leads are terrible or that other races of female leads are not as strong. I believe that we should see a strong Hispanic female lead in a movie that doesn't demonize her, use her as a sex object or is just there to be eye candy. With Wonder Woman, women felt powerful and like they were actually being seen and not just looked at. With a Hispanic lead, we will be showing the world how much more woman can do and show that no matter the race we be strong.

More great blogs about strong Hispanic females!

Edward Norton vs. Mark Ruffalo: The Hulk

Our superheroes have grown and become big names from Iron Man to Thor. Every superhero, who has a movie or is a supporting character, is known in the superhero universe. One age-old question within that universe involves the Incredible Hulk. This character's transformation has been an interesting one, to say nonetheless. We will be looking back and comparing the different Hulks. Edward Norton did a decent job at portraying the Hulk. This character isn't the easiest to play and does involve a lot of work. He definitely tried, but the storyline and character development didn't play in his favor. The timing of when the movie was released is also a playing a factor. This movie came out before the Marvel universe actually became a phenomenon. That didn't allow the studio and surrounding storylines to further his development. This movie was not a part of the growing universe but rather another superhero movie. Mark Ruffalo had a lot more background and information to work...
