Especially if they're planning on doing the "slap a Mockingjay on everything" tactic for a later film.
I like the ruffles.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
her thickly muscled physique is weirdly atypical of the movies
OMG, the first half of that phrase is untrue, although the second half very much so: [link]
She's horrendously muscular for the movies, but she's not for the dojo. I'd be surprised if she's much larger than an 8.

Nice physique. I quite like it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I couldn't watch it.
It was much too annoying.
Me too.
Not sure if it was because I was grumpy when I watched it or what. My brain was all, "Don't make a joke out of their situation!" Then my brain told my brain The Hunger Games was fiction, but the video still bugged me.

Okay, I started reading the walkthrough of the haunted house, and hell to the fuck no. I do not have any wiring that makes that enjoyable. It's unpleasant even to read.

Seriously. The circumstances under which I'm OK with other people touching me are limited and do not include when I'm stumbling through a haunted house attraction in the dark. And I think rather than safety-ing out during the waterboard segment I'd have grabbed the nearest piece of furniture and fought my way out.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Yeah, that's my take on it, too. Now, if someone took the idea of possibly being touched and having to walk through alone and built a non-torture-porn scare attraction around that, like a really creepy ghost-themed one, that would be very cool, and I'd be all for it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

She's definitely different than Angelina in Salt, which was really the nadir of "stick insects who kick ass." I think you're right about her being an 8, if only because, ironically, male MMA fans obsess about her inability to make weight. She seems to go between 145-175, and she's 5'8" or so.

Was Salt worse than Angelina taking punches from Mr. & Mrs. Smith? That was so...I liked the movie, but seriously.
It's be a while before a truly thickly muscled woman gets the action/sexy lead in a Hollywood movie. It's not that I haven't seen size eights and below take on bigger guys and dominate, but no one cares in fight choreography (although, weirdly, Columbiana wasn't *awful*).
I'd have grabbed the nearest piece of furniture and fought my way out.
That would have been my panicked reaction, I think, if I didn't go effectively catatonic.
