Other issues include wearing a stylish white outfit at night, while trying to disrupt and destroy the communication system of the Fairchild regime. Here in this film, she is never allowed to reach this level of character development, so we never get a chance to see any depth to her. In other words, there was a high level of contradicting depth to who she was. In the original animated series, Aeon was self centered, egotistical, detached, deadly, wild and uncontrollable, totally unpredictable, and extremely unemotional. The supporting characters are mere set pieces next to Aeon, and are even less developed than Aeon's character. What few emotions are felt, are cut short, or do not come across well at all. She seems rather one dimensional, less human, and more like a killing machine. First, Aeon as a character is under developed and not allowed to breathe. The producers choose style over logic, common sense and substance. ![]() Where did Aeon Flux go wrong? Let's start with just a few things.
