Eva Stratt Defense Attorney

Autistic Stratt is canon to me idc. While a lot of her coldness is obviously circumstantial, I do think part of it is due to a genuine struggle to form relationships. She seems to consider herself not-quite-human, despite some effort to prove otherwise. Even the other characters often describe her as God-like so, we as the audience, also begin to view her as inhuman. Yet, she loves humanity enough to sacrifice, not only herself, but also one of the only people on earth that made her feel normal. I think seeing her as a totally average, neurotypical woman is a disservice to her character.

The only thing about Project Hail Mary that I wish they hadn’t edited from the book is the betrayal scene. While the film’s is a tough watch, nothing hits quite like, “Easy for you to say when you’re not the one being murdered! You’re murdering me!” did on my first read. I had to bookmark it and cry. It was fucking devastating.

Genuinely, I am so curious about Stratt, especially her past. She mentions being a history major but, we don’t really know how she ended up with, literally, the entire weight of the world on her shoulders. How did the United Nations decide she was the most capable of spearheading Project Hail Mary? Did she choose to do it? Did someone nominate her? Was she some type of politician or, something? Did everyone know that she got shit done? She also has no partner or, presumably, family so, she had nothing holding her back. Did that factor into the decisions made, whether by her or the people who placed her in charge? So many questions. I want to know her so bad but, I also kind of love that we know absolute fuck all about her life.
