movies are different the target audiences is mostly those mass crowd who wants to see the machoism on screen . There are movies which are an exception but in general movies showcase men as hero and serials women as hero and there can be only one hero . Women brings glamour and romance to movies and men do the same in serials . Things are changing but majority follow this pattern .
I get that they see themselves in the female lead and that's why they have to keep FL as a completely white character so women who are identifying with her, would feel that they are "right" and "pure".
I was wondering, why do they want horrible men for FL then? I don't understand this fetish with "changing a bad man". I was recently going through comment section of a show and saw that almost everyone wants the goody goody pure FL to end up with a goon because she can change him 🤣 that girl has an amazing, nice boyfriend and she loves him since childhood but they don't like it. They want her to be in an abusive relationship with a man who'll hurt her and when he does, they'll cry that channel and makers are toxic and it's everywhere, you know?
