I really dislike the people who unironically scream "woke" at everything, but what exactly is the point of turning characters into women? You know they are not doing it to empower women, they do it to squeeze more money out of a franchise, you know to gater female silver surfer fans? But it doesn't even seem to work. Why is no one turning female characters into males? Wouldn't that be "woke" too? There will never be a male xena warrior prince, and as a dude... That's fine. I watched xena as a kid and i never wished she was a guy so i can indentify with her.
