Everybody remembers Ripley, but Aliens was a solid gender equality movie... filmed way back in 1986. Remember Vasquez and Ferro? Totally believable, flawed and likeable badasses. I find today's characters to be way too perfect to be believable. Wonder Woman is a good example. I find her annoying.
There's way more than these two ( i.imgur.com )
How many on-screen badass women can you name?...
