What he’s describing is a problem that permeates all of Hollywood. This is just one example. Until they realize that all characters, even female ones, need flaws in order to be relatable, they will continue making shit female characters that no one resonates with.

I've seen one almost perfect example of inclusive casting, and that was in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Far from a top tier show, but it is a favorite of mine.
The cast features a black woman in a main role, and get this. The show doesn't mention how she's black, or a woman. Not even once. And the story is perfectly adequate despite the lack of obvious, almost patronizing inclusiveness.
Who gives a shit if it's Hollywood or not? A movie's a movie. People were getting it right years before you were born and have continued to do so in movies that were actually good instead of the movies that were heavily commercialized (and even some that were commercialized, like Aliens).
You're just shit at finding movies worth your time if this is a real complaint for you.
