Not according to Jennifer Lawrence, “I remember when I was doing ‘Hunger Games,’ nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work — we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead.”
She said that but she was wrong lol Off the top of my head both the Terminator and Alien series had lead female action hero's that predate the Hunger Games
Also I don't mean to be pedantic, I can't tell if this is a stealth /s discussion or not
I believe Artyom was being sarcastic, and making fun of Jennifer Lawrence for making such a blatantly incorrect statement
Thank you for defending my honor random internet stranger, I salute you.
