Why she might be annoying:

    Her plans to make a biographical film about famed test pilot Chuck Yeager fell apart.
    She was slated to direct 'Thor: The Dark World,' but she left the project due to creative differences.
    After 'Monster,' she would not direct another theatrical feature film for over a decade.
    Some 'Wonder Woman' fans were displeased that she chose Gal Gadot to play the famous heroine.
    In fact, movie theaters in Lebanon refused to show Jenkin's itineration of 'Wonder Woman' because Gadot was an Israeli.
    Director James Cameron complained that Jenkins objectified the beloved heroine and therefore found the film to be 'a step backward.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is a fan of the films of Pedro Almodovar.
    Her film 'Monster' won a Best Actress Oscar for Charlize Theron.
    She also directed several television episodes including one for the comedy series Arrested Development.''
    With 'Wonder Woman,' she had the distinction of having the highest grossing film directed by a woman.
    She was a runner-up for 'TIME' magazine's Person of the Year in 2017.
