I actually saw it for the first time earlier this year and yeah, he's a major creep. But I think that might have been the point -- they wanted him to be a bit of a creep by 80s standards so of course it's going to seem like crossing the line now. I don't think it's SJW-ey at all the recognize this, though an argument could be made that you shouldn't hold 80s characters to 2010s standards.

I think part of the problem is that even with the argument that he's supposed to be a creep... well, he still ends up with the hot girl. It's a classic 80s trope, but it even by 80s standards the narrative feels off because there's no real character arc for Murray's character. In real life, his looks + that personality =/= Sigourney Weaver.

To make it plausible, they had to make Dana a quiet super nerd with no friends (who plays in the symphony and has an incredible apartment...)

Yes, this is what I was going to say. The 1980s are not the 2010s - things change, and when you watch movies from earlier time periods, you can see just how much and how quickly some attitudes can change.

While original Star Trek seems horribly sexist now, it was actually quite progressive for the time.

Thirty years from now, some of our progressive entertainment will be deemed antiquated or offensive by future standards. Things change!

My favorite bits in old Star Trek are the sexist bits. Don't get me wrong. TNG and other Trek series are muuuuuch better with female characters and that genuinely makes the show better all around, but I still laugh at the dumb gender stereotypes.

(Okay, okay. And I like the short skirts too. I'm a leg man. No apologies.)
