Thats was Hollywood's way of saying, ''we get it, women can be captain's of industries too.... but just you wait till shit hits the fan...'' And you are quite right, the trope is still being used today (Jurrasic World). I'm not defending it, but until you've had a female boss in the workless (I've had 4 different ones over the years) you will know there is some truth to it. They buckle under pressure real easily.

Just about the only sentiment to come from this article that actually matters.
Good character, regardless or appearence/ personality trope/ personality flaw is what matters, and thats just what 99% of games and movies for that matter fail to deliver.
