Hm, good question. peoriapeoriawhereart and omorka_fics and I just spent some time recently speculating on what "The Real Ghostbusters" would have been like if the characters had been female. It got pretty deep into class, race, education, personality, stuff like that too. Interesting speculation. We came out of it wondering if, had the characters been female, they would all actually have survived the kind of beating they'd get from society long enough to meet and go into business.

Bound to! Are those bonobos? :)

Maybe even better, for fandom. Bonobo ladies are bad mofos. :-D

I'd really like a TSCC-verse in which John Connor was Joanna.

Great question! I've never seen Supernatural, but Star Trek is the first one that comes to mind for me, especially because of this:


The Three Amigos also occurred to me, but a lot of the jokes in that movie are about the guys being either stupid or spoiled, and a general audience might find that less sympathetic coming from women? A lot of people might think that from men it would be funny and from women it would annoying? Depressing, but that's my guess.

The Real Ghostbusters example is very interesting.

Thanks! And I'm glad you left a separate comment, since the other ones went into my gmail spam folder for some reason.
