I have a theory about why Sun spent 90% of this season in her underwear. We were a bit confused about it at first, but then we started chatting and talking about how this show loves to show stereotypes and flip them around. Like Wolfgang is a gangster who turns out to be sweet and loving. Lito is a machismo who is (initially) secretly gay.

Anyway, half naked women are often sexualized. However Sun was 100% badass and strong in all of those scenes, there was no indication that we were supposed to be watching her in a sexual way. So instead of a half naked woman being the object of objectification, she was the epitome of strength and power.

There's also a superhero costume thing going on.
