story has been PC’d somewhat... Dejah is not the feminine drop dead beauty of the novels but a muscular he-woman, not really sexy at all... John Carter isn’t very bright in this version, taking a backseat (as is Hollywood’s way) to a more intelligent and stronger woman (dejah)...

see the actress remark on her portrayal here:

OMG how horrible

Actually as portrayed, her appearance matches the description in the book except for one (admittedly significant) detail.









The lips aren't "ruby" (what were you thinking of?)

Ummm, have you actually seen Lynn Collins? The 5’3”, 120lb actress is anything but a muscular he-woman. You have no earthly idea what you’re talking about.

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.
