Could be wrong, but Johansson tends to get cast as "badass/hotass/kickass" lately. Kusunagi certainly is that, amongst other defining traits which are much more important when it comes to the political, social and technological universe of GITS. Her narrative role isn't to jump around and shoot shit up, even though she occasionally does.

And personally I think Johansson is like a genderbent Keanu Reeves (or the other way around). Perfect amount of vapidity for actions flicks, very likeable, but absolutely no character whatsoever.
