I really think it was. I just don’t think that roles like this are written for women that often. Not only what a fighter she is but also that she gets to undergo such a drastic transformation. In the first film, we see her turn from this manipulative, self-serving person into this badass heroine who’s fighting for herself and for those around her. In the sequel, she continues that arc and it becomes even deeper. There’s also a beautiful, emotional journey in the sequel. I think it’s really important for young women to see such an empowered female role model who isn’t willing to quit, who isn’t going to wait for someone else to save her, who instead of running away from the bad guy picks up an ax and runs towards him.
