I'm still in awe of the writing behind this character. Ofc, I have to write more about how brilliantly Sofia Falcone was written.

Lately, so many directors claim they want to bring "feminine energy" into male-dominated stories, but end up falling into the same tired trope: the Damsel in Distress. That’s not feminine energy. Femininity doesn’t mean being a passive victim waiting to be saved. A woman can embody full femininity and still be powerful, without having to play victim.

That’s why I loved Sofia Falcone so much. She is feminine energy, through and through. At no point does she imitate masculine traits yet her strength is undeniable.

Feminity lies in emotional intelligence, ability to weigh options without rushing into things, the way of nurturing those around (even as a villain), and deep inner resilience. Sofia Falcone is all that. In a world dominated by men, she doesn’t shrink she owns her space.

Writers and directors must take notes that This is how you write a character with feminine energy. Whether protagonist or antagonist, femininity doesn’t mean stripping her of makeup, sidelining her from conflict, or making her a storyteller.

I’m genuinely blown away by the writing behind Sofia Falcone’s character.

This scene in particular is a textbook example of how to write femininity the right way. It's not loud, aggressive at the same time not weak either.
