thinking about how the first To All the Boys movie was directed by a woman and the second two are directed by men; thinking about how, after the industry is surprised by a woman's film doing well, they react by handing the reins to a man (Twilight, Fifty Shades, etc)
recently it's gotten better -- Jennifer Lee did both Frozen 1 and 2, Patty Jenkins with Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel had women for both films... weird that those are all Disney
it's not really about like the specific director of Twilight not wanting to come back or the tension with EL James and Sam Johnson... there's something to examine for sure but the point is even if those specific women didn't want to come back there are other women who direct!
