Just a moment, isn't a famous trope among teen dramas and female romance novels that the lead character falls in love with the “bad boy“ of the story and he then changes his ways because of the intense love and no other reason what so ever? Oh, hold on, that only works in changing men, not women. The other trope often used is the target of the lead characters affection falls for the absolute b**ch who the lead will have to save him from and rebuild his confidence that not all women are like that and he can still find love that will enlighten and save his life.
Odd that it's just fine to alter male story tropes to empower women (which a lot of times I find laughable, but now and then they're done well) but don't you dare change a female story trope. Quite honostly I could care less, Susan we all knew was only going to be in a few episodes so if they made her the b**ch or some tragic love that would die wouldn't make 1 iota difference because I was never interested in Oliver's love life, it was something I took in as a side note. Susan was the b**ch in this teen drama/female romance disguised as a superhero show.
