“Lol but she wrong. There are several pre-2012 female led action films. Three Angelina Jolie movies and the Kill Bill movies quickly come to mind,” one critic commented via Twitter.
“She can’t even really argue there was a regression before Hunger Games because female led action movies actually THRIVED in the 2000s with HUGE budgets. Franchises & movie stars were made. Angelina, Uma, Lucy, Cameron, Drew, Milla, Kate etc. Without them she wouldn’t be here.” Another defended Lawrence, noting that her overall point is more important. “Honestly the dunks on this one are kind of infantile. Obviously there were female led action movies. But it’s ridiculous to claim that they’re common. Lawrence’s larger point — that boys are not expected to identify with female leads — is still valid.”
Similarly, a different commenter alleged that people are focusing on an exaggeration — but acknowledged that their response made sense based on Lawrence’s comments. “Its the hyperbole that makes people concentrate on the wrong thing,” the Twitter user claimed. “She could have said ‘there’s been a serious lack of female led action movies, that needs to change.’ When you say NEVER, it seems selfish aggrandizing and gives people a reason to argue with you.

Jennifer Lawrence, Viola Davis talk Hunger Games weight loss chatterJennifer Lawrence and Viola Davis talk the biggest hindrances to the craft of acting in Variety's Actors on Actors conversation I mean at least she didn't say something even more ridiculous, like, I dunno, claiming that before 'Hunger Games' no one had put a female lead in an action movie. Is it possible they wanted her to be thin because the character is emaciated? As our nation looks more like Panem everyday, maybe folks would be better off thinking about the books' content than silly clickbait regarding a ten year old movie. I expected a lot more eating in that movie. Or fasting I guess.
