Now, I haven't seen it, nor do I plan to, but the impression I have gleaned from clips and from reviews is that this project is let down, as much as anything, by that plague of contemporary popular entertainment: the Mary Sue. Is that a fair assessment of the Hera-character?

Also, why on earth Hera? There are lots of usable OE female names that alliterate with Helm, Hama and Haleth, so why use a Greek one?
