I fooking loved that show! The fat suit Adama will always be the best, out of nowhere, thing for me. Honestly couldnt stop laughing

On Xbox people always thought my name referred to Admiral Cain until they let us upload custom avatars and I put up the true GOAT that I was referencing, Fat Lee Adama:

Sasha Grey is p cool.

She beat Resident Evil 8 on Hard on her first playthrough, which is something that many GAFers were complaining was too hard in the official thread lmao

So yeah, she's cool in my book.

[Aarbron]

Lucilla from Gladiator.

 

[FunkMiller]

A good game streamer, a renaissance woman, and someone with a healthy back catalogue of interesting and informative video performances.

She's experience. She knows how to take a lickin'.

Laugh all you want but the only answer is Abby

She could have owned Darth Vader or T100 without breaking a sweat

Strong, capable women were much better when they were strong, capable characters.

Now you can see through the fuckery like 'They Live' glasses.

Edit- Might as well throw up an addition to the thread.

Kira Nyres - Deep Space 9

Former unapologetic terrorist freedom fighter who could be your greatest ally, or worst enemy. Went from bragging about slaughtering Cardies to helping their own liberation from the Dominion. Picture-perfect example of strength without abandoning the feminine nature that defines women.

I was in love with her in that

I don't give a fuck what anyone says, this movie is a masterpiece, I love it

Alita

Seven Of Nine

 

[Keihart]

Alita

Seven Of Nine

Alita's movie does such a disservice to the character. What once was a story about a girl growing up and getting disenchanted with the world became a fairy tale about love in Cameron's script.
Cool visual effects tho.

 

[Vaelka]

I feel like most of the examples here are from '' typical media ''.
They're basically just male action hero characters but the roles given to women.

Bayonetta comes to mind to me, she's more uniquely strong in a more female sense.
Tifa comes to mind too.

Ripley is an exception too in that she's more motherly, she could've worked as a male character too but I think she works better as a woman.

I hated how clean everyone and everything looked, the love interest and his friends looked like models.
Totally different than in the Manga and it kinda diminished the love story a little imo.
It felt less like actual love and more like Alita just being horny and the '' love at first sight '' trope ( which is just being horny ).
In the Manga he was dirty and pretty ugly, he actually looked like he lived in a scrapyard.

How in Hades did it take so long to mention me!?!?!?

Calm down, wanna backrub?

Oh, I'm gonna kick both of your asses!

 

[jason10mm]

Not to mention these fine ladies in Cleopatra 2525

And of course Lexx

they were everywhere back then, they were just too pretty to count I guess.

Dude, Yugo it's a piece of shit in the manga. The whole point of that arc is Alita learning how ugly the world is and that no matter how good she is and tries to change it, some things and people are just that way.
Yugo's death was pathetic and tragic in the manga, not even because he dies but because how it diminishes everything Alita does. The next arc is suppose to be Alita transitioning from teen to young adult, there is nothing lost in the movie for Alita to go into an identity crisis.

Gabby was my first crush. Well she & Alex Mack.

 

[Umbasaborne]

The major, not only does she fight in her birthday suit. But shes a total fucking bad ass. Legit one of my favorite characters ever

Ac: Odyssey is one of my favorite games of the last generation. And kassandra is easily up there along side ezio, and bayak as one of the best protagonists they’ve ever written. Her performance is top notch too.

Jill Valentine, particularly her re3make variation, also rules

 

[Umbasaborne]

Good pick. I love these movies, this lady has been through a lot of shit

 

[Umbasaborne]

Honestly, i wish i was half as in shape as abby is, i like her character design alot

fuck yeah love Xena and Callisto especially but they are not just strong women but absolute killing machines

 

[Alx]

Emma Peel.
She has the brains, the looks, the muscle and the attitude.

 

[Omega Supreme Holopsicon]

Lisa from Weird Science If I'm not mistaken

Nausicaa, from Hayao Miyazaki's graphic novel masterpiece. The anime film doesn't do the story justice.(Up there with original Battle Angel Alita, Berserk, Akira, and Hellsing mangas )

Adora from Netflix's She-ra

 

[Lupingosei]

No Samantha Carter until now? You people are terrible

 

[Rickyiez]

Joke aside , Korean drama has alot of strong and smart women as protagonist . A couple I can think of from some of my favourite series

Director Kang Kwon-Joo (Voice S1~S4)

Prosecutor Eun-Soo (Partner for Justice S1~S2)

Detective Cha Seo Hyun (Signal)

These women are portrayed as very bright and smart character , survived from vicious serial killers and never back down from criminals or corrupted higher ups .

 

[Jasper_Rose_808]

All the main female characters of Game of Thrones. At least until season 6 that is where I am right know, I've heard that the series turns to shit from season 7 and becomes terrible in season 8, so I don't know if the characters will become terrible.

It was gonna be my pick

 

[Fare thee well]

I remember when the new ghostbusters came out, and all the fans were mad because of it being a cheap reboot while a lot of defenders claimed it was just some kind of anti-women sentiment from haters.

But what is funny is around the same time, the movie Annihilation came out. It had four strong female leads in a fascinating cosmic horror film. No one gave it its due, and no one complained either. It was just underappreciated and forgotten. Sad.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Oh yeah, how about Tokyo?

Atia of the Julii from Rome was cool

 

[YoshiMadness]

I am convinced that female country artists are the most badass people on the face of the planet.

Just imagine being such an alcoholic loser that your wife writes a song about how much of a loser you are, and it becomes a hit on the country charts. Well that's exactly what Loretta Lynn did, and it kicks a lot of ass.

A shame that that show is so bad.
