(Ever watch Gundam Wing? In the post-series movie, the heroine literally sits there and lets a kid half her size rants at her and never even thinks about saving herself, she just waits for the hero to save her.)
*winces*
And I have to say, while Buttercup does do her best, she also really annoys me - the heroine DiD should be really effective at fighting back - and it's not that what Elizabeth did was so different, but that after she was rescued she didn't really do anything, while Elizabeth continued running around doing things.
