I know that there’s a lot of complain about in this list, but overall, I like it.

I know this list should be called like Badass Women of Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Comics or something. I know they missed some people,  like Milla Jovovich, Kate Beckinsale, Evangeline Lilly, and others. I know that some of the women on this list kinda shouldn’t be on it, but it’s still an enjoyable list to go through!

  1. Supergirl – Melissa Benoist
    It’s a promo for a new Supergirl show that should be coming out on CBS soon. I’m all for a female superhero show, as long as it’s well made. I don’t know much about Melissa Benoist, but I judge her slightly for being on Glee, lmfao. That being said, I’d still definitely give this show a chance once it comes out. I don’t have TV, but if there’s a will, there’s a way.
  2. Marvel’s Peggy Carter
    I love her. Lol, you’ll hear me say that a lot in this list, btw. I haven’t seen an episode yet, but I’ve heard good things. I was always curious as to what Peggy did after Capt. America “died”. I know I could’ve read the comics –I did wiki– but I usually like movie-verse over comic-verse (Only because comics tend to make things convoluted. Fifty-two multiverses?? Seriously?? LOL, ain’t nobody got time for that.)
  3. Black Widow – Scarlett Johansson
    I hope they make a movie for her. She has enough of a history in the comics to make for a good movie — if done properly. She’s a badass. I love that, lol.
  4. Lucy – Scarlett Johansson
    I didn’t see this movie, to be honest. I saw a trailer and it, as well as the premise, just didn’t do anything for me. I would’ve loved to love it.
  5. Katniss Everdeen – Jennifer Lawrence
    I like Jennifer Lawrence, not sure if I like Katniss though. I never really got into this franchise. However, I will admit that I like Katniss’ strength, in general.
  6. Wonder Woman – Dawn of Justice
    When I first saw the Wonder Woman promo picture, I thought “Hell no, Kim Kardashian???” Lmfao. I’m still not sure about Gadot though. And I’m not sure how well Wonder Woman will be presented in this movie. However, I hope Superman and Batman kick ass. Even though Ben Affleck as Batman is a bit iffy.
  7. Buffy Summers – Sarah Michelle Gellar
    Lol, how could you not watch this show back in the 90s? Granted I was a bit young, I still watch a few episodes. I watched Charmed more. However, I still loved Buffy’s abilities and strength.
  8. Harley Quinn – Margot Robbie
    I have never heard of the Suicide Squad, but when I looked it up, I was interested. The movie will be coming out in 2016 with Jared Leto as the Joker. Harley Quinn has got to be one of my favorite characters. And I think Margot has the look for her, I hope she can act the part as well. I’ve  always liked chaotic characters.
  9. Xena – Lucy Lawless
    Haha , I liked watching Xena when I was little. Some things were too graphic and freaked me out because I was a kid, but I loved how she could just kick anyone’s butt!! Greek god or not lol. I’d throw around a Frisbee, pretending to be a warrior princess!
  10. Ripley – Sigourney Weaver
    I thought she was an amazing character. Flaws, sure, but the movies were really enjoyable.
  11. Princess Leia – Carrie Fisher
    I have a lot of conflicted feelings about Princess Leia, but one thing I have to admit is that she really has a commanding voice and authority. We’ll see how Episode VII goes XD
  12. Sarah Connor – Linda Hamilton
    I liked the Terminator movies from the 80s/90s. I really don’t know what to think about this whole reboot thing they have coming out soon that rewrites the WHOLE THING.
  13. Trinity – Carrie-Anne Moss
    I always found her character to be very annoying and I’m not sure why.
  14. Uhura – Nichelle Nichols/Zoe Saldana
    Sigourney Weaver had parodied this character in Galaxy Quest (<–a must see movie BTW). And the character’s main role was to repeat what the computer said, lol. That being said, I love Star Trek. Star Trek >Star Wars. Uhura was great 🙂
  15. Orphan Black – Sarah Manning
    I don’t plan on watching this show ever, lol. I’m sure it’s a great show, but it just did not appeal to me. Maybe I just think it’s too dark for me.
  16. The X-Files – Scully
    I am way too young to remember much of this show. But I love the concept. I might go back and try to watch this show.
  17. Lois Lane – Margo Kidder
    In all honesty, the old superman movies scared me, hahaha. There was just some elements that freaked me out!! That being said, I did like Christopher Reeve as Superman. Not too sure about Margot Kidder though.
  18. Starbuck – Katee Sakhoff
    I tried to watch Battlestar Galactica once, but it got too confusing, lol. I do like Katee Sackhoff though. And the storyline for Battlestar Galactica is actually very interesting.
  19. Michonne – Danai Gurira
    I don’t like watching zombie TV shows and flicks. The only one I ever liked was Shaun of the Dead. It was hilarious. However, zombie flicks, in general, just leave me in a bad mood. However, I love the Michonne wields a katana, lol.
  20. Hermione Granger – Emma Watson
    Big Harry Potter nerd here. Gotta love Hermione. She was annoying and bossy, but the girl knew her stuff and she knew how to get things done! 🙂 I’m more of a Luna Lovegood personality, but I’ve always been prepared like Hermione.
  21. Catwoman – Michelle Pfeiffer
    Michelle was kinda nutty in her role, but I still choose her over Halle (I kinda liked Halle for Storm in X-Men, but I think they could’ve picked someone with a better commanding leadership presence for Storm).
  22. Leela
    Haha, Turganga Leela! I love Futurama. Leela was kinda annoying, but she was still pretty badass XD
  23. Game of Thrones – Daenerys
    I don’t watch this show and I might just be slightly biased towards if because I feel like, being the big LOTR nerd he is, Martin took too much from Tolkien’s Silmarillion history to use as the history of his own Game of Thrones storyline. *shrug* Also, I don’t really agree with all the gratuitous sex scenes and rape. That being said, Daenerys is a very strong character and I hope that either she or Tyrion or Jon Snow become king or whatever. I love the dragons.
  24. Firefly – Mal
    This show has been in my Netflix queue for a while now. I need to find time to watch it since everyone seems to love it!
