Oh boy where do we go from here?

you make a good film, and ignore the SJWs who don't even really like the genre anyway. If the film is good, people will watch, and you can ignore the moaners.

There is actually potential for some setup from her first movie. She found out that her team mates for the last 5 years were actually all betraying her. Unfortunately this was played down to ridiculous levels in the movie. But it would make sense that she would have trouble working in a team again after that. And she is so powerful that she really doesn't need help from anyone. Then you put her in a situation where she gets nerfed and needs to rely on help from someone she had previously dismissed.

It's the Galbrush Paradox that makes creating compelling female characters much more difficult that creating compelling male ones.

But maybe you're just naive and dont understand the problem. Do you know why there's so many white male characters in video games? Especially leads? Because no one cares about them. A white male can be a lecherous dunk. A woman can't or it's sexist. Sexualizing women and what all. A white male can be a mentally disturbed soldier who's mind is unraveling as he walks through the hell of the modern battlefield. A woman can't or you're victimizing women and saying they're all crazy.

Consider Guybrush Threepwood, start of the Monkey Island series. He's weak, socially awkward, cowardly, kind of a nerd and generally the last person you'd think of to even cabin boy on a pirate ship, let alone captain one. He is abused, verbally and physically, mistreated, shunned, hated and generally made to feel unwanted.

Now let's say Guybrush was a girl. We'll call her Galbrush. Galbrush is weak, socially awkward, cowardly, kind of a nerd and generally the last person you'd think of to even cabin boy on a pirate ship, let alone captain one. She is abused, verbally and physically, mistreated, shunned, hated and generally made to feel unwanted.

Now, you might notice that I've given the exact same description to both of these characters. But here's where things deviate. While no one cares if Guybrush takes a pounding for being for lack of a better term, less than ideal pirate, Galbrush will be presumed to be discriminated against because of her gender. In fact, every hardship she will endure though exactly the same as the hardships Guybrush endured, will be considered misogyny, rather than someone being ill suited to their desired calling.
