No, I agree, they make a wrong turn, she gets captured, rescued and she's the hero? What about the special ops guys that rescued her? They're the heroes. Isn't Superman the hero not Lois Lane?
How does getting rescued deem you qualified for being a hero?
Your comment about who is the hero is a valid one.
Jessica may be one, but I can't see it based on the story we have been given.
Hero is a deeply debased word these days.
