That was the point though wasn't it? An awkward teenage girl gets the power to literally disappear, which is what all of them dream of having.
It is. Didn't say it wasn't. Timidity and coming out of ones shell is an easy character development trope, but it is development nonetheless. OP was pointing out that too much media generally tends to skip this process and pump out females at their most strongest state from the get go, which leads to a boring character.
I pointed out one that had development. The Incredibles is a good movie. The second one... well, that one gets a little weird.
