Yeah, that made me think.
Weren't all the 'arguements' that she a) didn't need one, b) didn't detract from her character if she didn't get one, c) unlikely to be badass.

Frankly Haley's tactic is smart, in character, and delivered well - but it is not exactly badass.

I mean really can you see that Movie Action Hero/Heroine who is a legitimate ass kicker, is in the fight of his/her life and ... talks the enemy down, than walks with them back to their base and watches as they pick a fight with a (likely still) much stronger character.

I can still see this backfiring on Haley - which also does not detract from her getting out of the situation in the first place.
