Yeah, it kind of depends on the macro and micro ways of looking at it, I guess. Like, in the large scale, she's still a supporting character to a white cishet male, and yeah, she's unconscious for the climax. But on a smaller scale, she's pretty much everything you could want in a female character. Brains, brawn, cares about others, doesn't let others define her... etc etc I could go on.
So on the macro scale, it's not like Beyonce performing on TV in the outfit of her choice to a song she's written in front of a giant FEMINIST sign, but on the micro scale... if we had characters like Mako in every movie, in every tv show, in every book... yeah, that kind of would help solve the problem of why we need feminism so badly.
Yeah, they're dead. Maybe Max Martini is just not your actor? XD They didn't give him much time to grieve, either, pacing-wise.
