>>107028525When I say she's "not Rambo", I mean the circumstances of her situation are entirely her own. Solarians were volunteers, and Mina was the first one to volunteer to be permanently altered into a super-warrior. However, what the writers and most of the audience are forgetting is the context of her giving herself up.
During Solaria's rise, MONSTERS ATTACKED FIRST. Monsters actively raided just outside of the castle walls, and Alphonse the Worthy, who had been attempting peaceful negotiations, couldn't broker a peace agreement. If the enemy is at doorstep, if the enemy is being uncompromising, if the enemy is being unrelenting, then the enemy needs to be exterminated. Solaria started her war as RETALIATION. Mina gave herself up to the project as an act of PROTECTION.
The writers, having never read the Book, don't ever mention this, and now she's a villain.
