The most appropriate response to why the word "strong" might be considered a less-than-precise word in the sentence is:

It’s unclear whether the characters are well-written or just muscled and powerful.

This response highlights the ambiguity of the term "strong," as it does not specify whether it refers to the characters' depth and development or merely their physical attributes.
