G20 unabashedly presents a modern feminist hero—one who has to work twice as hard and still faces misogynist resistance from patriarchal figures. Viola Davis’s Madam President is portrayed as a martial arts powerhouse who can “take down” enemies in high heels, emphasizing female empowerment—but often reducing her to a predictable stereotype.
A humorous moment involves a stylist vetoing flat shoes for Davis, jokingly questioning her confidence. Davis’s character ultimately becomes a one-woman wrecking crew, reinforcing tired tropes about female strength and resilience.
