Picture the scene: our hero is mid battle and struggling. The scene flips to the last conversation with the girl he fancies before she goes off to sacrifice herself and her saying that he can save the world then him seeing her death gives him the strength to fight back and defeat the female badly.
Personally I can't but that is, in reverse, what happens at the end of WW.
Incidently after the island where they have no choice there are three female character in total - WW herself and two minor ones who have a handful of lines between them (although to be fair Steve's secretary was best character in there!).
Empowering my arse.
