Mr. Plinkett very famously criticized movies in which the only woman of significance in the story had an arc where she went from being a Queen to a Senator to a trad wife to being dead.

But it's wrong to criticize movies that have plot arcs like that for women?

That kind of depends on how it's done.

If you're criticizing a fictional woman that was written by a man, are you criticizing women, or criticizing how men write women?

As long as they never hire women to write movies amirite? :P
