I think the petition was around 9k last time I checked, which when you factor in how many people actually saw this movie its an extremely small percentage.

Those types just get overly vocal. We do live in an age where its all about "Hey look at me I hate something that is universal loved so I'm smarter than everyone else"

It probably would have happen with the original trilogy if social media was around then. To call for a petition and its removal from canon? And they let the prequels ride? It reeks of "those type".

I'm a huge horror nerd. There is a reason the phrase "final girl" is a thing and that's because in most horror films its a female lead that survives at the end. I never really hear any other horror nerds complain about it either. Sigourney Weaver been fuckin up Aliens for a minute back in the day, they loved her for it too.

Why is it that sci fi nerds can't stand a strong female lead?
