Yes but if the prophecy isn't going to be fulfilled, then why have a prophecy at all?
I didn't see that Alice was a girl at all. Alice is a transboy, that was really obvious to me. It was... it was nice, having a film with a hero that was my gender, for once. Especially someone who is my gender and also shares personality traits with me, like being kind of out there and having weird ideas.
Also I don't know where you placed this in the 19th century, but I placed it before Victoria's reign, before the first Opium War (so, c. 1835), since Alice talks about trading with China and implies no one has before. And how is trading with someone exploiting them, exactly? Is that just an assumption on your part because of the period? Because I don't recall anyone talking about exploitation.
