So, it’s come to my attention that there are a bunch of people who think Mako Mori is a “weak" female character, because of course.
In fact a good friend of mine (who is a woman and professional film reviewer) thought Mako was too “emotional" , which…
My only quibbles were with the dude fight where Raleigh tries to make the Australian kid apologize to her—she could have kicked that kid’s ass herself—and the very end where she’s put in the escape pod and launched while Raleigh ultimately saves the day. He couldn’t have gotten there by himself, but in the end, he takes the final action by himself. I wish she could have made that step, with him or on her own.
I agree 100%, though, with the rest of the analysis.
