Genx:
So we disagree about that, I don't have a problem with the fact that we disagree about Shaw. To me it doesn't matter if that was an expression of humanity because humans can be a lot of things. Her traits of what is possible to find among human beings were not very good. Unfortunately she lacked common sense/was naive. She gained no sympathy from me, I just thought that she was stupid especially since she was supposed to be a scientist and they should be smarter than that. I honestly hoped that she would die for being so stupid. One of the good things about AC was they got rid of Shaw so good riddance. Yeah, I would still be very annoyed by a character like that if it would be a real life person I would probably think “please do mankind a favor and move to another planet (like some Idiotville or something)”.
She realized that she was wrong, good but she still was naive and stupid. These things did not change as far as I could see at least. Maybe she was still dumb as a character after the movie was over and if so she deserved what she got in AC.
