Yeah, that sounds pretty similar to what happened with me. "What is your deal, I want more!!" followed swiftly by my friends with physical disabilities being angry and talking about how terrible she was.
I feel you on "disabled supervillain thinky gears," by the way. I got home and immediately started writing a more science-y retelling of M. R. James's "The Ash Tree" with a female protagonist. I just want so much more from this character. There's something so compelling about her, and the little we know about her. When Chris Pine started talking to her about entropy, that clinched it. I feel so bad for her, because you can see that she started thinking someone FINALLY understood her, and then it just turns out to be a trick.
I have something half-written, but like you, I have to modify it based on the reactions I've seen from other people I really care about. It's tricky, and I might not finish it, depending on the other projects I've committed to blog-wise. If it goes up one day, I'll let you know.
