I said about Camille\\\'s reputation. As FauxActionGirl reads, \\\"She\\\'s established from the very beginning as a powerful, capable hero but never does anything heroic.\\\" Camille is established very early as a capable woman, but the movie doesn\\\'t follow up.
So, Camille\\\'s first scene. She doesn\\\'t miss; Bond DEFLECTS her gun. Hers is too fast a reflex for someone who never gets into action. In fact this scene is supposed to be her EstablishingCharacterMoment. Here we are shown that this Bond girl is as quick to kill as Craig\\\'s Bond, as ruthless and trigger-hairy, and thus as action-based. From this scene we can reasonably suppose she\\\'ll shoot her way like a badass, a genuine ActionGirl.
But no.
On the boat chase, she got knocked out. On Greene\\\'s party, Bond had to rescue her before Greene pushed her off the balcony. On dogfight and hotel arrest, she bailed. On hotel fight, she only shot two idle mooks (far cry from Bond\\\'s gunfight) and got her ass kicked by Medrano until she reached out the shards.
All these scenes are incongruous with Camille\\\'s first scene. Hence FauxActionGirl.
