Jodie Whittaker chosen as the first female doctor in Doctor Who tv series
SteveJenkins:
nothing wrong with a female lead as much as people have whined about it because ???
the real issue is if the show writers and producers are any good and don't forget it up, and last I heard its been very lacklustre

well theres technically supposed to be 13 doctors but various things in the plotline made it so that this is actually the 15th doctor (or so we're being told)
i'd be thrilled about a female lead but i feel like theyve sort of been forcing the inclusiveness of the show recently. idk but either way i'm happy with the actress they chose, she's done great in broadchurch
funnily enough her face reminds me of the unit lady from the recent few seasons

I havent seen any complaints about it because I don't... really pay attention to this, but I can imagine there's two kinds of people:
1. Genuinely loveist people who dislike the idea of a female lead and
2. People who think the writers are going to shoehorn in a female lead with no personality to appeal to a certain demographic without actually fleshing her out as a character, a la Marvel Comics
PhantOS:
tony is actually part of the first category if you've seen his "its womens fault rick and morty is delayed"
i also agree that people should screen talented actors/actresses before shoehorning them into a movie. in fact, that's what every major movie producer does nowadays. it's not like they say "yo we need girlies to act no experience necessary" because obviously that's going to forget up their box office sellings
in the case of ghostbusters 2 or whatever, the actresses were actually somewhat talented but the writer forgeted up
