The Mako Mori test is imperfect as well, as it can be passed by a film in which only one woman exists. Because it is imperfect, you are wrong and it should be thrown away.

(The Bechdel test's main purpose is not to be used as a metric for declaring individual movies 'feminist' or 'unfeminist', it's an observation that men have such a stranglehold on cinema that basic aspects of female reality like talking to our friends and sisters and mothers about, y'know, whatever is an incredibly rare event even in films where there IS a second woman with whom a conversation can be held. But go ahead, keep missing the point. Keep acting like martial arts high-kicks make up for a lack of representation on the whole.)

OP here.

But it's not aout martial arts high kicks. It's about a competent young woman coming to terms with a powerful childhood trauma, and seeking revenge for her family's death, and trying to balance that out with her feeling of love and respect for her surrogate father. Yes, it's an action flick, sure, but instead of a throwaway heroine you might expect, we got a woman who was an equal to the main male role. That is why some of us love her...not the high-kick kung fu.

why is that a bad thing? i'd take a film with a single well-developed female character who has an important role in the narrative and her own storyline over something like your typical romcom, which while it may pass the bechdel test, usually isn't full of examples of well-written female characters. i'd much rather have quality over quantity.
