Saw the movie, honestly don't remember if she even talked in the movie. Just saw an attractive Asian in the background. Her role was as pointless as Mystique. Another Asian character with no backstory or development whatsoever.
Lady Deathstrike was the first Asian supervillain to appear in the X-Men series and she never talked.
That bothers me even more so as a white father of an Asian daughter.
Why even bother putting her in the movie? It's just as bad as Rogue being in 3 movies, but doing absolutely nothing but drain powers. No flight, no super strength. Dumbest crap ever.
#JessicaJones on Netflix proves you can have a low budget superhero story based on a woman with those powers and have it be good.

I agree, but disagree.
I too was underwhelmed with Jubilee's contribution to the movie. Lady Deathstrike was supposed to be cold calculating.
Rogue this was early Rogue her prior to absorbing the powers of Ms. Marvel, so basically this was all she was.
#JJ well you are talking about a show on Netflix which is basically about her so ofcourse

I understand it's Rogue before she absorbed the powers of Ms. Marvel, but honestly, what comic book fan wants to see that Rogue? She's not Superman, who can actually carry a movie w/o having powers on full blast.
What's more disappointing about Rogue is that it was just her, no Gambit. And she wasn't the feisty southern Belle.
Movies will change the origin story and personalities, but they changed her personality too much, made her less interesting. Boring Rogue, boring Jubilee.

Singer has very little interest in developing female characters beyond being place holders. He's great at developing the male leads and their intrapersonal relationships. The combination of these two facts makes for some lop-sided story telling.
