Which one was she in? I haven't seen the last few. I'll take Aisha over Christmas Jones, for example.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

I remain still impressed with Deadwood. Cause, on the one hand, I thought I was gonna be pissed off that most of the women were hookers. But they were fully realized and made their own choices as much as they could in the era.
I remarked, when I was watching Deadwood, that it had more fully-characterized women with agency in it than Supernatural, even though it was set at a time when women couldn't own property or vote. And when the virgin/whore dichotomy was pretty strictly enforced.
Man, I loved Trixie. And Jane. And Jewel. All of 'em, really--they were real.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There weren't any Bond women in that.

What I love about the Alien movies is that Ripley is badass and no one is surprised. I'm beginning to feel like a crotchety old woman about sex scenes that do not have anything to do with the action. I find myself muttering, "Shouldn't you be boarding up more windows or checking the ammo? You can't wait until you get somewhere safer?"

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Yeah, Consuela...this. Even though I still love female ass-kickers, I think it's important to remember that that isn't the only way to have a great female character.

I know. I didn't realize it was only Bond movies being discussed. It's the first place I go to when I see "Michelle Yeoh".

I... think I saw that one. Brosnan, right? I'm afraid I don't remember anything about the plot or Michelle Yeoh being in it.

Ripley is badass and no one is surprised.
And 'Let's nuke the entire site from orbit' is really the best plan of action ever uttered in any action movie ever.
