>>115151758It's not the Feminism that's the problem it's the hack writers and Showrunners who are using Feminism as a shield for their terrible writing/story ideas. Ignoring their Genders for a second, let's look at the characters:
>BurnhamA human raised by Vulcans. But this serves as little more than background melodrama for a rather blank slate of a character that simply reacts rather than proacts. We are told that the character is super-special-awesome and everyone regards them as super-special-awesome and they are super-special awesome at absolutely everything they do. The character's "Romance" subplot is the weakest plot in the franchise and is surrounded by far more colourful and vibrant characters.
>RayStarts out as a capable loner, who has learned to survive the vast wastes of a practically dead planet. As the story goes on, they begin to pull more and more powers out of their ass and the loner personality gets completely thrown to the wayside. That being said, anyone who says that this is a trait unheard of in the franchise, clearly doesn't know the franchise that well. Their romantic subplot with their primary antagonist was probably the most interesting part of their story but this did serve to highlight that their antagonist was actually had a lot more depth than them as a character. Their villain had to overcome a lot more obstacles than them and this serves to push them almost into a secondary character slot.
>13th DoctorA bit of a blank slate. An actor who doesn't particularly care for the franchise, combined with a writer who cares more about making their mark on the franchise than keeping it going, creates a character that sort of ambles about. There are flashes of character trying to break through, but it never lasts more than a scene. This character's general personality is "Whatever the writers need it to be to push the plot of this episode!" Doesn't help that good episodes are few and far between.
