Oh, let me guess...
No, these were just average/normal women ... who can recognize a costume that is better suited for lap dancing than combat in the muddy trenches of WWI.

Now time for a reality check. Red Sonja is one of the biggest selling female lead comic book series of all time with over 100 million sales worldwide and Red Sonja also has the LARGEST female following of any comic book series in the past decade and has been written by some of the best female writers in the comic book industry such as Gail Simone and Amy Chu who describe her as a sexy powerful warrior. You seem to be overlooking some things so allow me to point them out with this quote.
Despite the fact that over 50% of comic readers are female, Hollywood has been ignoring a gigantic demographic for the longest time. Execs' analytics are always skewed towards the male audience because they see it as more lucrative. What Hollywood didn't factor in was the sex-appeal element — and no character proves that more than Harley Quinn, who was the secret to Suicide Squad's box office success.
The rise of female-lead superhero movies can be attributed to two reasons: Female audiences are delighted to watch themselves kick ass onscreen and are paying to see it, and male audiences are delighted to watch an attractive woman leap around in a skimpy outfit. This may seem reductive, and it is — there are plenty of queer women who fulfill both sides of this equation. But the fact remains that female superheroes are good for business all around, no matter which demographic the movie makers are pandering to.
