That was my thought too... she let the natives she was defending get shot, captured, enslaved, the mine owners get shot out of the sky (where the fuck did they get antiaircraft guns???), and all kinds of shit before FINALLY showing up to mete out vengeance for the crimes she could have just as easily prevented. It's like she can do anything -except- get from place to place in a reasonable amount of time when there's a page count left to fill.
