I think a lot of people overestimate or misunderstand the importance of the Bechdel Test. I mean, if I like a movie or show, it is much more likely to have passed the test than not, but it isn't the end all, be all of measuring movie/TV quality.

Primarily, imo, it serves as a really useful tool to demonstrate how often stuff *doesn't* pass in general. That is, even if individual movies like Pacific Rim and individual characters like Mako Mori can be fucking amazing without passing it, the BT is still useful in showing us that as a *trend* a lot of stuff still doesn't, and that's troubling.

This. The problem isn't (or isn't only) about individual films, but about the trends across the medium as a whole.

(This is also why I think the Reverse Bechdel Test has valid uses- look at how few films, no matter how heavily female-centered, actually fail.)

It's like BMI. It can be helpful in analyzing trends across a group, but for measuring individuals it's esentially meaningless.
