She doesn’t have to be perfect. She isnt a good leader though. She’s petulant & needlessly adversarial. She backtracks, & neglects to share plans (demanding blind trust).

Yup, that's what makes her interesting. All of what you say is clearly on purpose. Poe is the sympathetic character, he hates her guts and the audience is supposed to too.

There to be a “pansexual space commander” because why not force in more genders to SW? https://www.pride.com/starwars/2018/1/08/queer-strong-vice-admiral-holdo

“She’s there, in part, to show us what happens when a new and strange-looking female boss meets a hostile (and still mostly male) workplace.”

She was not there to be hated. She’s there to subvert expectations. ie purple haired, pansexual, SJW’s wearing evening gowns make great military leaders too.

yes those are all good representations of strong female leaders. But it’s 2018 now & SJWs demand more representation than white women. "go asians" - jj abrams

The pink haired pansexual vice admiral was shoehorned in for no other reason than to appease SJWs.
replied 2277d
Just like JK Rowling made Dumbledore gay. Not in the books anywhere, has no bearing in the story. Just to appease a vocal minority.

She was absolutely not portrayed purely as a sympathetic character. Poe fails for not respecting the line of command, she fails for ignoring the heart of her followers.
replied 2277d
& yet she was loved by audiences who gladly looked over her faults because of “muh womxn leaders”
