NS 2

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't have put it quite so snarkily, but yeah, those are some of the problems I had with Mako's character, too. I like her character a lot but I was disappointed that more wasn't done with her storyline.

Re: NS 2

True, but the problem with that secret is that I did not get that she was held up as a good feminist icon or a strong character or a strong woman of any type. Was she? I think she is considered different (it's still rare to have the main female character be Asian, especially without it being dictated by the story like in 47 Ninja for instance), cool and the public appreciated that for once she did not kiss or jump into bed with the hero or anyone else for titillation purposes and her role was not just to provide romantic interest. But that's very far from calling her a strong female character, isn't it?

If she had been hailed as a feminist icon to look up to, then yes, absolutely, I'd agree 100% but as it is? I just appreciate the fact that there is no kiss or unnecessary nude shower scene or unrealistic relationship like Uhura's and Spock's in the Star Trek reboot (demoting Uhura from an established, independent character to a mere girlfriend and an irrational one at that as ST: Into Darkness demonstrated).
