I'm yet to see the film again (I watched it for the first time two days ago) so my memory of specific details may be a tad hazy, but I can guarantee the film features at least three significant female characters two of which protagonists (one is a lead) and the third being the overarching antagonist. The film is especially unique for a superhero film in the sense that it features no romance or sexualisation whatsoever: it focuses on meaningful story threads and character growth for all of its characters regardless of sex: primarily focusing on themes of mental health, unfulfillment and depression within its characters. I remember there being at least two moments where female characters have meaningful conversations, unrelated to the film's male characters. However, I may have to rewatch the film to rectify this.
