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.

What If: Marvel decided to make movies in the 90's?

We enjoy all the great CGI that we have in movies in today's industry. We watch older movies and laugh at the effects and can appreciate how far we have come. People are always looking at how to further our technology and soon we will be looking back and laughing at what we grew up on. SO with that in mind, how different would it be if Marvel decided to make their movies in the 90's? First off, it will all be different actors. All the actors that we have come to love would be different with the actors of the 90's. They will have different personalities and they will be reacting to things differently. The movies may have been more dramatic or maybe funnier. Still, the overall essence will not be the same. There will also be different phases than the ones that have now. There was a plan from the beginning when making all the hero movies today. They all connected and meet at a point where they all appeared together. If the movies were made in the 90's there probably wo...
