her powers were appealing unlike...everyone else. a speedster theif is a fun idea but im not sure id say she was a defined character (an issue that plagues every character in the film other than Icarus) so im unsure if i care if she comes back or not.
and thats really the issue with the movie in a nut shell. half the run time is seeking out a host of characters we dont know and never get to know. it just shouts that the stakes are super high and we need to care cause stakes.
Pikes arc the biggest causality. it has the legs to be really fulfilling arc but if you timed the screen time dealing with the set up id be shocked if it had 7 min of screen time.
if you cut half the characters, kept the run time and used it to tell a more focused narrative youd have something thats going to get these characters over.
simply "we dont know where everyone is" and then by hearing about the events of the film in future films the reunite in full. everyone gets properly established.
this instead is akin to skipping all of phase 1 and starting with an avengers film out of the gate.
