Greatest Female Characters in Film
Seeing all this controversy about Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road has got me thinking about my favourite female characters of all time. I mean independent women who don't just scream all the time. My favourites would be Sarah Connor from Terminator 2, Princess Leia in A New Hope, Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road, Jessie from Toy Story 2, Dory from Finding Nemo, Sidney from Scream, Ellen Ripley from Aliens, The Bride from Kill Bill and Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

On a side note though, there wasn't any real "controversy". The website which generated the non-controversy gets less google hits than individual characters from 1990s video games, just for the record. The media's not interested in relevance though, just in generating 'outrage' for ratings - it's the same reason that "serial killers" get so much publicity in the media despite their having been only a few 100 in the past 100 years (100 out of 7,000,000,000+ population, just for perspective). |
In no particular order:
Belle and Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast Homura Akemi from PMMM Nausicaa from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind San and Eboshi from Princess Mononoke Rose from Titanic Fantine from Les Miserables Hana from Wolf Children Satsuki and Mei from My Totoro Lucilla from Gladiator |

Re: Greatest Female Characters in Film
How nobody pointed out this one:
http://wallpoper.com/images/00/17/93...d_00179315.jpg first one comes to mind. Also, put the rest of Miyazaki's female characters. From my top 10 alone we have also San: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thin...l&tid=45603586 Also from my top 10: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...20111215012941 Also, https://jkfilmjapan.files.wordpress....yo-story_8.png And yet another from top 10, animation has many strong female characters, because Japanese fiction always focused more on female characters. http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...mura_Akemi.png Let's see, outside of stuff in my top 10 we also have noriko from gunbuster from my top 50: http://www.gunbuster.net/Visual/Episode4/gb401.jpg The major as well: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qFsLXN_OL1...ost%2B(24).jpg Lain: https://myswordisunbelievablydull.fi...9_19-10-52.jpg Animation has more great female characters than male. |
Just a quick one for now, Edwinna "Ed" Mcdunnough in Raising Arizona:
