AYRT, Hmm, interesting. I suppose I can see that. Personally, I saw her more as a favoured bounty hunter/contractor who's propping up a despot and shrugging off her responsibility. Yes, I can see there are narrative reasons due to trauma, but I have always had a strong knee-jerk bad reaction to characters who know better and yet choose to do wrong.

That being said, the film is pretty lighthearted and did not invite me to take the issues quite that seriously, and since she does come around and end up on the side of the good guys, I was quite fine with her in the end and thought she was an interesting character.

In terms of this secret, I've seen some of discussions, but feel like there's a disconnect between "in real life this would be a bad thing" vs "you're not supposed to take it seriously". And personally, I'd rather go with "don't take it so seriously" rather than arguing which one of them has greater moral culpability when it comes to slavery.
