Not since\u00a0<em>Ghostbusters 2016<\/em>\u00a0has a movie featured such a strong female lead. I literally cannot think of ONE other comic book-based movie which has a woman in the title role. I wonder why this is? Oh, I know, it\u2019s because Hollywood hates women.<\/p>\n<p>The star of the movie, Brie Larson is also a superhero in real life. She bravely\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/5312618\/brie-larson-women-in-film\/\">spoke out<\/a>\u00a0about the negative reviews\u00a0<em>A Wrinkly Time\u00a0<\/em>received, stating that too many white men had seen it. Now, as a black woman, I watched that film with tears in my eyes. When I saw the 200ft tall Oprah Winfrey preaching to those kids like Disney\u2019s version of Jesus while dressed as Ru Paul after an altercation with a shopping trolley, I knew this was the best movie ever made.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"amazon-element-wrapper-custom align-right last-count\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-med-image\"><span class=\"amazon-image-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Amazon-com-Gift-Black-Classic-Design\/dp\/B01K8RMDO0?psc=1&amp;SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;tag=lrc18-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B01K8RMDO0\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41dhGgNHJHL.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"amazon-image amazon-image-medium\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-title\"><span class=\"appip-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Amazon-com-Gift-Black-Classic-Design\/dp\/B01K8RMDO0?psc=1&amp;SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;tag=lrc18-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B01K8RMDO0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Amazon.com Gift Card i&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-author\"\/><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-formatted-price\"><span class=\"appip-formatted-price\"><span class=\"appip-label label-formatted-price\">Buy New <\/span>$25.00<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-disclaimer-new\"><span style=\"display:block;color:#888;font-size: .80em; padding: 0 0 3px 0;\">(as of 07:00 EDT &#8211; <span style=\"cursor:pointer;\" title=\"Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.
