I knew this would happen. You stick two scenes of her beating some people up in the movie and that’s all people will focus on. River is so much more than that, so much more complex. *sigh* And I was feeling so much better about the subject.

I have a thing about physical strength being portrayed as the only strength in Hollywood.

Perhaps so, but most people will still focus on the fights. Which is a shame.
