She's a female POC action movie protagonist and they don't fuck up anything about her or her storyline horribly. That's not a bad thing.

I get where you're coming from, if you were looking for something more than that. The movie was overhyped and it's a big problem. I think Mako fits in pretty well with what the movie was, and why it was good. It was a really well-executed, passionately made, monsters and robots movie that didn't make any awful mistakes and that was unconcerned about being formulaic. And Mako is kind of exactly the female POC main character that a film like that would have, if films like that usually had female POC main characters who were there primarily to be main characters.

Agreed. I really enjoyed the movie, because it was exactly what I expected it to be, in a fun way. There's something to be said for the solidly-executed cliches.
Certainly not the ~masterpiece tumblr made it out to be, but I wasn't expecting it to be.
