Of course she defers to authority. She's in the fucking military.

Seriously. Yes she defers to her commanding officer after repeatedly pushing the point that she should be allowed to pair up/drift, but only when he pretty much pulls rank and does the military equivalent of, "NO, I AM IN CHARGE AND SAID SO."

Was she a perfect character? No, but none of them were. It was a sci-fi action movie. Things blowed up. People died. There was romance. It wasn't deep or overly meaningful (in my opinion), nor did I get the impression that it was trying to subvert tropes or any of the stuff that a lot of people were trying to pin on it.

And being rescued as a child doesn't make her a 'weeping' female or whatever the OP seems to be going for. She was a child. In the middle of a terrible and unexpected disaster that killed her family and left her an orphan. Were people expecting her to stand up, pick up a sword or gun or something and go running at the kaiju all Inigo Montoya-like?
