Yes, Miriya being female can't be emasculated. I mean that Max did take the edge off of her, worse; She became a compliant little wifey, sorry to burn the coffee. The character just wussed out. Her fire was put out.
That's what I meant, nothing nefarious.
Speaking of emasculation:
I cannot wait for Wanda to give Stanley his come-uppence. Something along
the lines of, "Thirty dwagons?!? You left with thirty and return with six?!!?" Maybe she'll choke him like he did to Jack, nice and cartoony....
Course, there's a load of archons in the way ....
