It's a good parody and critique on female reboots of media that originally starred men. It wasn't a brilliant episode but the ladies of the show are always great, and Katlin Olsen is always hilarious.
But women can't win even when they're generally agreeing with an angry male audience. It hit all the topics and tropes of these kinds of reboots and basically made it clear that even women often don't appreciate the pandering and would appreciate their own things.
So the panning of the episode makes me think it often really does come down to a feeling that "the icky girls are trying to steal our things!" Even when they're telling you you're right they're still wrong.
Though tbf, I guess in the end it is a less funny version of a classic episode and the concept is very on the nose so it probably urks people more and it's what keeps me from reviewing this higher, even though I think that was the point.
