They were playing with expectations by having a woman be the main character of one of those space marine games. Having that character be the cool sexy guy would have been the same old same old. And if Felix was the girl he still would have been cute in a pretty conventional way.

Disagree. I don't see what was groundbreaking about the "sci-fi badass lady", that's done all the time. And if Felix were the EXACT equivalent, I disagree. Felix is not sexy, nor attractive - just plain and generic looking. The way he talks is super hammy. If Felix were a woman with the same body type, same way of speaking, and lack of physical attractiveness, pairing her with a cool, more sexualized sci-fi badass boy would've been MUCH more unique.

Sci-fi badass lady in Western animation? I'll give you characters like Ripley, etc, in live action, and I can't not mention the amazing f!Shep in video games (even though Shepard can be either male or female and probably doesn't count as this, f!Shep is seriously the first to spring to mind when someone says something like "badass sci fi lady"), but I'm trying really hard to think of a character like that in Western animation meant for children, and I'm coming up blank. Got any examples? I want to note, I'm asking this in part for myself -- because if there are more of them out there that I've missed, I'd like to see them!

I think it's unique in that we rarely see hetero pairings involving taller, foul mouthed, dominant women with shorter, politer, submissive men in fiction. The reverse in genders would just give us the same old shit.
