People wanna discredit Noelle with other female characters who aren’t the primary tritagonist. Obtuse comparisons miss the point; What makes Noelle so remarkable is that it's a rare occurrence to see a Shonen girl in a trio who isn’t the MC written as capable in battle as her male counterparts. Her peers are Sakura, Nobara, Uraraka, Misaka, and out of that class she is easily the best handled They typically fall off to the side with mostly off screen development, get reduced to a love interest, or worse, despite their abilities, they end up being a damsel anyway. With no motive outside of the main character/love interest. Whereas Noelle has gotten steady development with her abilities every arc. They actually let her fight and train as hard as the boys in her series who have more plot relevance than her. The bar is low af and that's why anytime she does anything we lose our shit and rightfully so.
