. I only just saw the movie a week ago, and was very impressed that both women were allowed to be competent badasses, and no one around them treated it as anything other than ordinary, like "of course women are skilled and capable leaders and fighters; why wouldn't they be?" As I watched the credits, and discovered that both the producer and director were women, I thought, "Ah-HA! Should have known; it takes a woman to show women as people instead of love interests!"
Thanks so much for this detailed comparison. Right now, I'm in the "grab every scrap of information possible" mode, and this is just very satisfying. .
