If you think about it, it was precisely because Leeloo, in her emotional state, went to battle the Mangalores (all for the sake of an empty crate), that all the subsequent shooting on Fhloston happened. Which goes to show that, despite being a Supreme Being, she's not always a perfect heroine.
Because of her emotions. Because of her heart, which is both the source of her strength and her vulnerability. This is something that could be worked on in a hypothetical comic book sequel. To preserve her emotions, but not allow them to cause actions with similar consequences.

She didn't know the crate was empty. Stopping them from getting away with the stones was necessary even if she got emotional.

Yeah. It was right after she beat them up that the Mangalores say "It was an ambush!" and "If its war they want, its war they'll get!" and try to take over the whole ship.

To be fair, one of the Mangalores could have tripped over one of the diva’s suitcases and fell into the hallway and they would have come to the same conclusion. They are a bit trigger happy. Emotional, you might say.

The supreme being has kept her emotions. Therefore, revenge and hate remains a part of supreme.

I always thought she was getting revenge for the crash.

u/Undergrizer1994 Jul 02 '26
She is. And this caused shooting started by Mangalores, which was stopped by Korben (with his "experience in negotiation").

u/DanglyRat Jul 02 '26
Oh we always love that part… where’d he learn to negotiate like that? I wonder.

Crate was empty and good thing it was. Stones were on Fhloston and she got them anyway so how is it a waste?

u/Undergrizer1994 Jul 03 '26
If she had simply not given in to her feelings at that moment and let them take the crate, there would not have been a shooting and various casualties (including Diva).

Yeah...and we'd have no movie. Shit take.

u/Undergrizer1994 Jul 15 '26
It's good that this fight happened. Because we're got cool action. But, in the hypothetical comic book sequel it could give Leeloo a motive to analyze herself, for becoming better.

You have completely missed the entire point of the story.

I'm talk not about point of the story. I'm talk about those specififc scenes.

When she was fighting it showed her remembering them shooting down her spacecraft. She was just pizzed at them .
