But it is the Raleigh you expect to see - so it doesn't surprise me at all that the novelization author got it wrong, for the same reason that so many reviewers missed what Black Widow did in the Avengers movie. There's an idea of what a male hero looks like in this kind of narrative; sounds like the book author was just following that narrative. And if the author is male - well, I'm betting male fantasies more often revolve around bucking authority and being rewarded for it than around being respectful.
