"Was giving a young woman such an active part considered a new type of realism at the time?"
Wayne was shot by a girl in El Dorado.
And that was because of an error he made--he shot her brother by mistake. I suppose that was realism.
My feeling is that the trend is about canceling the "male warrior" mystique--if it was a cycle then we should be getting a return to Errol Flynn adventures before long. I would be surprised if we did--I don't think the Hollywood brass is very keen to promote that kind of image.
The Logan movie depicted a girl as a warrior and the heir apparent to the dying male hero...I detect a pattern.
