Jeezus. I was answering the question that had been quoted in post #3, which I had assumed was a challenge to name any women who had written adaptions to successful movie franchises. I also cited Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games) and Emma Thompson again (Nanny McPhee). My point was not to contend that women are properly represented but for anyone to assume that women had written no successful franchise adaptions was to challenge their capability. I'd say if anything, women who have written screenplay adaptions, including those for franchises, have a better track record for success than most men. They simply aren't given the opportunities.
