Yeah I've seen people complain about Navarro's introduction trying "too hard" to make her badass by making her "too good" at fighting, having her fuck a lot and give no fucks.
Meanwhile Rust in season 1 was an undercover biker with insane combat skills and he fucked a lot and took no fucks, but that was fine because it made sense for the character or was realistic or whatever lol
Kali Ries is a professional boxer, lol.
Yeah it's silly lol, especially because every season has had a "badass fighter" detective and no one batted an eye, but suddenly the actor is an actual badass fighter and it's an issue
They always do that. A 150lb woman can't 1v1 a 200lb guy because it's not realistic. But then a 170lb guy can 1v1 a 250lb guy because of the male bone structure and skull shape and hip ratio or some other caliper-brained shit.
But they very clearly don't make Navarro out to be "average". She's buff, she's mean and she's been working in a male dominated environment for years where she has had to solve shit with physical force.
A later episode shows she shirks away from a guy she previously beat up, because he is now sober and with a friend. Her martial prowess is very realistically portrayed. They more or less did it as a David v Goliath thing. She knocks down a huge dude because he's drunk and he doesn't see it coming
