Hmm. Good choice. But you really think she's the most bad-ass in all of fiction?

River Tam was an autist that yelled the entire fucking series and had spastic fits until it was time for the writers to give her a I KNOW KUNG FU moment.

A sassy black woman with an afro

2B, who is also the hottest

Her "my turn" scene in Serenity is one of the most awesome in sci fi cinema.

Katee Sackhoff - Captain Kara Thrace, aka Starbuck

Bayonetta > 2B

Ugh. A she-male version of Dirk Benedict. Really?

Haven't watched much of the originals, was the male version better?

Bitch, please. Even if she dies in every episode

Well, he was a lot less angsty and try-hard, anyway. But his dick was smaller.

The new queen of strong hot chicks

Hit Girl

Lessa, Weyrwoman of Pern

GODTIER PITS

All of my yes!

Sorry, no. Completely wrong build. They were supposedly trying to get away from the fashion model look for something more fierce-looking... and then picked a fucking fashion model. A real warrior woman would have a build like Amanda Bingson -- see pic -- but Hollywood doesn't have the balls to put something like that on screen.

Yeah, very badass and had her own army. Eventually turns good, becomes a hero and takes on the gods themselves. All in all pretty badass

...

A noseless hooker?

Made me think of Agent Scully's dead dad calling her Starbuck.
Fuck that was a good episode.

I say either Ripley or Lara Croft. Maybe Alice from the Resident Evil movie franchise. Or Lagertha from Vikings.
I guess it depends on if you think superpowers are a handicap for wussies or contribute to badassness.

I'm of the opinion that Superman is the biggest sissy bitch of all the superheroes because of his powers. With Batman being the best because he has zero superpowers.

Yeah, no I think it's gotta be Lagertha from Vikings.

>major from ghost in the shell
You do mean Major Kusunagi correct?

Dinah Lance

Jolyne is above prostitution user.
She tried to stop gay priest from resetting the world

She isn't even the most bad-ass on her own team.

There's an old greek myth about a female warrior who's name I forget.
She's the one who really wanted to marry someone but couldn't choose, so she decides to race each of her potential husbands. If he wins, she marries him. If she wins, she fucking murders him.
Then one of the guys has a good idea and asks the goddess of beauty for help, and she gives him 3 golden apples. During the race, he throws them one after another, and she gets distracted because she likes shiny things. This lets him win the race and they live happily ever after, after murdering the rest of the competitors and a lot of fucking under olive trees.

faye

literally a murderous gold digger what the fuck

Molly Millions

shes hot how come i never heard of her before?

It was a contest her father set up, and it was any suitor. She out ran them all until the golden apples incident.

Not even a mother of dragons?
>into the trash she goes

its sylvanas dudes by far.

She made a big splash a few years ago when she was featured in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, the first time they had ever shown anyone with a real athlete's build like that.

That was the goddess Artemis, I believe.
She didn't want a husband at all and was just being arrogant. And then had to keep her word when she lost. Or maybe she didn't keep her word after all. I don't remember.

Lol fag she's fought huntress before and won

She's gotta dragons, that's cool. But it's not very original. And there has literally already been a Dragon Queen.

Not particularly athletic, is she?

but shes the leader of her team...

Are you serious? I knew someone was going to say Daenerys. She's not even remotely badass. You could beat her with a stick and she'd just wimper on the fuckin floor. Her army is badass. Her dragons are badass. She has some badass bodyguards. SHE is not badass - she has badass accessories and she barely knows how to use them.

Lagertha would scalp her just for hair extensions.

She's a top world-ranked hammer-thrower. That's what strength looks like, user. In the real world outside of Hollywood, people who build strength look fat. When you "cut" to achieve definition you also lose muscle mass. If you're maximizing strength, you look beefy, not chiselled. Pic related: Robert Oberst, one of the strongest men in the world.

It turns out that story is just like "the great flood" - it permeates all sorts of cultures with different details to the story. Including Greek, Norse, and Irish.

Badass.

That's not athletic. Anyway, what's in it for you? Why the enthusiasm? Are you promoting body positivity or some shit? Do you seriously expect realism in a movie titled Wonder Woman? And whom would you fuck Bingson or Gadot?

Ripley, the Major, Carter in SG1, Ivanova in Babylon 5.

I happen to think real strength and power is sexy as hell. You can have your anorexic waifus if you want, user. No one will try to take them away. I just happen to want to see some genuinely strong women on the screen who don't look like they'd snap like a breadstick the first time they get punched.

Ok, I teyu evateen..

Maybe not the most badass, but at least worth a mention

So pic related turns you on more than Gadot? Genuinely curious.

He's talking about what women he'd like to see as movie protagonists, why the fuck do you keep coming back to who's more fuckable?

Because he's talking about movie protagonists.
And in hollywood, that means they need to be fuckable.

At least, if theyre female.

Let's just say I have an aesthetic appreciation for genuinely powerful women, and think they'd look good on screen. Not every man needs to look like a Fabio. Why do women all need to look like fashion models?

Pic related: One of the most bad-ass women who ever lived, Marifusa Nikiforova. She was an anarchist bandit who led a band of Cossack revolutionaries in the hills of Ukraine, raiding German military bases -- all at a time when women weren't even considered to be legally human in most of the world. Note that she doesn't look like a fashion model.

Because I'm curious and not a hypocrite. Also why does pop culture have to be realistic and/or representative?

Why are you dodging the question, user?

It's obviously Cersei from GoT.
Have you seen this season? God damn she's brutal af

I'm not dodging anything. Why are YOU so obsessed with finding out what makes me hard? And what does that have to do with casting a woman in a bad-ass role in a movie or TV show?

>I'm not dodging anything.
>does exactly that

Alright, if it blows your hair back, I happen to think evil women are sexy. I have a thing for psychopathic women. Karla Homolka (see pic -- that's her in prison) makes me diamonds. She helped her husband, the Scarborough Rapist, to kidnap, torture, rape, and murder two young schoolgirls and videotaped the whole thing. People who were in court and saw the video said she was at one point masturbating with the severed hand of one of the girls. She also drugged and helped to rape her own little sister (who died while unconscious on horse tranquillizers).

Was not expecting that, no wonder you didn't want to answer.

wtf kind of prison cell and attire is that supposed to be? something dont add up here.

It would be before hand you genius.

This is Sup Forums. We're surrounded by bronies, furries, paedophiles, scat enthusiasts, and people who voted for Donald Trump. Every sort of perversion is present. Having a thing for evil women is pretty vanilla by comparison. I just didn't (and don't) see what my sexual preferences have to do with wanting to see bad-ass women with actual bad-ass builds on the screen.

That's Joliet Women's Prison. If you're that suspicious look up the image for yourself. Jesus.

Fuck me sideways and call me a bitch...
I forgot about Molly...

Finally someone.

>(see pic -- that's her in prison)
>(see pic -- that's her in prison)

So she gets a cell with a fluffy comforter on her bed, walls that aren't cinderblocks, and a black satin slip to wear?

Cercei Fucking Lannister

...

Casual

shes not badass shes just an annoying cunt. I would be so happy if they removed her. Danny is better by far

Karla is a special case. Even though she's a multiple rapist-murderer of young, underage schoolgirls and HER OWN LITTLE SISTER, she totally put one over on the cops. She blamed it all on her husband, Paul Bernardo, saying she was terrified of him, and offered to testify against him. The cops had missed the video tapes in the search of her home, and her lawyer retrieved them for her after they'd left, so at the time the cops had no idea she was a willing and eager participant. (She was the one who actually lured the schoolgirls to the van by offering them pot.) By the time the cops realized they'd been duped, she'd already accepted a plea bargain of manslaughter. So she wasn't exactly doing hard time, and Joliette has everything from minimum to maximum security. Minimum security isn't bare cinder blocks and gruel.

(Karla is out, by the way, and raising a family somewhere in Quebec.)

The only thing bad-ass about Samus is her suit, and she got that from alien chickens.

Not attractive as a woman but I understand you. Why did you put on the SJW act earlier?

She was raised by magic alien chickens and trained from a child in combat to use her specially made suit, and then singlehandedly saved the universe like 3 times.

That's pretty bad ass.

Thank you

I have no idea what you mean by that. I want to see real women with a real warrior's builds on the screen. How does that make me "SJW"? Does everything in a movie have to make you hard to entertain you? If all movies are to you are wank material, why bother watching them at all when you can just go to PornHub?

To answer with your own words: æsthetic appreciation.
