Why can't Hollywood create a female protagonist that isn't a mary sue?
>>
Because no matter what kind of female protagonist they make you will retrofit the label of "mary sue" onto her using whatever mental gymnastics necessary.

>Beatrix Kiddo
>Clarice Starling

Because the targeted fan base for female leads wont let them make anything else.

Because if the character is flawed then women will bitch about how all the men are better

SJWs. Notice how anime has many good female MCs and isn't plagued by SJWs.

Madoka as a character is kinda bland

While simultaneously ignoring any overpowered bullshit male protags pull off.

Calling it now: Ep. 7 was just a feel-good romp to reset the universe. Ep. 8 is when they'll start shaking things up, and Rey will struggle a lot more. Manchildren will still feel threatened by her vagina.

because films are $
because star wars is $

because star wars films are $$$

hollywood plays it $afe all the time.
star wars has the most potential for a rich, complex story with multi-faceted characters. there are areas of the universe left untouched by the films, such as the grey area between the light and the dark side, the potential for the jedi to be wrong and for those who are dark side to do good. things explored in kotor 2 would be great in a film (even kotor 2 was hindered by $$$)
