Saw it last night, mostly agree with this take on it, though in a bit less glowing terms. I didn’t think the emotional payoff alluded to in this review really worked, because I didn’t think they’d laid enough groundwork for it. Too much of this movie was more storyboard than story, with not enough time spent on actually delving into these characters’ feelings and relationships. That said, it was definitely a fun popcorn flick, with some great action, a good sense of humor, fun characters, and, as the article points out, minimal required external knowledge. And everything said about the publicity was spot on.

Atom Eve is a single one-shot hour long episode on prime now, and season 2 drops November 3 (in the US anyway).

Ooh, I’d forgotten that about the green phasing person - good catch! Yeah, I wonder… and definitely would love some Monster Girl history.

I think that’s a fair criticism. I chalk it up to her being young and inexperienced at this point, and as a result thinking about being a superhero just like the ones that already exist. It didn’t bother me personally as I was watching, but fair point nonetheless.
