I don't understand what you are saying. Do you mean while Storm is "strong", she has no depth, whereas male X-Men character are both strong and having depth? Or what is the problem (apart from judging society by a Hollywood movie about superheroes)?

It was a vision of a movie scene where the posturing and ambient styling made it clear that the movie-makers were emphasizing the "strength" of this female character, because "a strong woman is always cool." Something along those lines.

You mean they were actually enforcing the stereotype of weak women by emphasizing the exceptionality of strong women?

Storm was a terribly written character. Giving her strong power and little personality was a token "female" hero with little thought. It was just plain "crap story telling".

As someone else said, there are only a few xmen characters with depth - wolverine being one.

Yes. I don't think I broke it down that precisely but that's probably what it boils down to.
