Funny how the modern XXIth century story is more sexist than the XIXth century original one

The original Hansel and Gretel story, recorded in the XIXth century (and originated much earlier) portrayed both brother and sister outwitting the witch. It was a tale of cooperation and wit where both siblings were positively portrayed.

Fast forward to XXIth century, it's retold as 'Gretel and Hansel' where 'a young girl leads her little brother'. The sister is made the empowered powerful female main character that saves the day and the brother is reduced to some useless kid saved by the female character.

Of course, the movie includes a black Hunter, an Arab Knight and an Hispanic Knight. Because, you know, Medieval Europe. There's only one non-protected-minority adult white male... which happens to be ginger-hair, which means he'll be the Pathetic Loser Villain. Modern Hollywood, checking race, ethnicity and hair color, you know his/her role in the movie.

Funny how the XXIth century version is far more racist and sexist than the XIXth century original one. That's food for thoughts.
