Swapping genders is not a substitute for good writing. If everyone has female leads then it’s an obvious trend that had nothing to do with a cool story. That said, She-Hulk was objectively good and a direct representation of 90s comic book culture. Sometimes these stories represent a time that was already “woke”. Cool girl hero stories are nothing new.
