Dejah is not the feminine drop dead beauty of the novels but a muscular he-woman, not really sexy at all... John Carter isnt very bright in this version, taking a backseat (as is Hollywoods way) to a more intelligent and stronger woman (dejah)... Well, she is supposed to be a warrior princess. She looks pretty hot in the pics I have seen. Better than those hokey 40- and 60's sci fi clicks where the women only wore frilly dresses and all they did was scream. I like strong women.
I saw the interview you linked and no where did it say John Carter is not very bright and takes a backseat to Dejah.

... You have to see the movie and have read the full series of books.

The original story (that was my premise) does not have Dejah as a warrior princess at all...
Link was a reference to Collins only. You have to be familiar with the ERB series and see the movie to get the inference on Carter.
