    Couldn’t hide my disappointment at the end when they were like [strong female character] was created from the stories of over fifty different scientists…

      That’s how many historical movies and contemporary shows work though. Like, we all know CSI techs aren’t clearing rooms like SWAT in real life. But the story is far easier to follow if we keep it to a few characters the audience knows.

        For sure. And ultimately they gave credit where it was due, which is nice but it was a bit jarring. I think that means the filmmakers did their job well and crafted a character I could identify with.

      Yea they really shoehorned her in. Would have been more accurate to make that character a man.

      Oh well, could have been worse. Could have been made by Netflix.
