Yeah, unlikable like 98% of the female characters Hollywood comes up with in movies like this (Female led Comic book movies, superhero movies, action movies).
They feel if they write a female character who has flaws, vulnerabilities, or weaknesses it is sexist, so all supposedly "strong woman" characters (I'm really growing to hate that term) become unlikeable know-it-alls with no sense of humor, no human qualities, and no ability to fall in love, because god forbid the female character had romantic feelings for a dreaded male character...then she would cease to be "independent" and "strong" and would have to be vulnerable.
The amount of analysis that goes into women characters for these types of movies is insane, and what they come up with is laughable most of the time.

Excellent points!
You would think they'd look no further than Wonder Woman and how Patty Jenkins and the script writers gave us a strong super hero who's both a woman and has human vulnerabilities. WW was great! Black Widow and Gamora in the MCU have also been portrayed in this manner.
When they have examples, why is it so hard to imagine a character with both traits - strength and emotion?
It seems they want to make a movie for those who identify from a gender standpoint than a persona standpoint. Guess we will see how audiences react. I think it's a poor concept. I believe they will use her alien life to explain her aloofness/coldness in the movie. Guess they have to do it.
