Hm I don't know whether it weakens him or not -- only time (har har har) will tell. I thought it was particularly relevant, though, that he never seemed to respond to her at all until after Vulcan was destroyed. It's part of being in that emotional state. (I wonder if it's sort of an alternate timeline parallel to how the character of Spock was portrayed in the original Menagerie flashbacks,)
I'll tell you, though, the movie struck me as one huge rendition/version of Killing Time. Which makes me laugh and laugh and laugh...
Back to the general erasure of women & POC, you bet. But the general trend has been swinging back toward Duditude movies for a while now. All the movies are awful in this respect right now (and we should be complaining, don't get me wrong). I expect the pendulum to swing back over the next decade provided our cultural atmosphere doesn't take another conservative nosedive :-P
