I kind of don't understand the big fuss about Mako Mori. The actress is endearing and everything, but she seems (to me) to fall into the category of the submissive Asian woman stereotype because of her deference to Stacker Pentacost. I mean, she only disobeyed her father figure and participated in the partner try-outs because another fellow (Raleigh) told her to. So I kind of don't get the fuss. There are a lot of other female characters who have their own story lines, so it's certainly not the first time that it's happened.

Before I get jumped, I'd like to clarify that I'm not dissing the character. I'm not even dissing the movie. I don't have strong opinions about it, I've just always been confused about why people act like this movie is The Best (I do really love how the movie looks, though).

THANK YOU!

Main-dude-guy got her to try out, got her to finally be a pilot, she fucked up and nearly killed everyone then in the end, Main-dude-guy saves her life without giving her any choice about it and saves the day!

So...how much agency does Mako have again?

I'm not bring up the situation with her father figure because that was a respect thing and could be argued it was perfectly valid.

Of course, my biggest problem with the movie was the fact that in the first 2 minutes they describe being drift-compatible as this huge amazing special gift, but it turns out you can figure out who you can drift with by hitting eachother with sticks and the two scientist can do it just cuz!

And the dialog was atrocious.

But it's all ok because it was so. Damn. Beautiful.

Yeah the whole Mako Mori as inspiring feminist icon thing has always baffled me. Have we really fallen so far since the days of Ripley and Sarah Connor?

We have fallen further than you think, the Robocop Reboot even managed to erase the strongest female character of the original movie.

Um...she's been arguing about tryout with her father long before Raleigh came on the scene. Raleigh merely provided an opportunity she took.

A lot of the confusion seems to be between the "presentation" of what an active female character should be like. But in a way, it makes Mako more real. She's not defying Everyone and Everything at a time of war and making a dramatic production about it; and still, she took what chances she can get and whatever opportunities she's offered.

Raleigh definitely allows some of the chances to occur- but he's hardly in the position to demand the daughter of Stacker Pentecost be his copilot.
