What strong, female characters does Yea Forums actually like...

It was necessary

Even her introduction had a pretty cartoony bit about being just as good as men but it's easy to overlook in an older series when you know it's not because it was written for a test audience posting yas qween on twitter.

>when you know it's not because it was written for a test audience posting yas qween on twitter
I think this is why I have nothing against strong female characters from older shows, but newer ones rub me the wrong way. Carter's "girl power" was a positive addition that made her an equal and respectable team member within SG-1. She wasn't written as the ultimate solution to every case of stupid/useless white men screwing up and ruining the world, instead she was just another character with strengths and weaknesses. Strong, likeable and cooperative, she brought to the team the scientific expertise it lacked, and every once a while she failed at something or gave us a glimpse to her weak side, just everyone else in the show.

Now, there's two ways that could be interpreted...

She was in, what, like 2 episodes of BSG? That was perhaps the most tense, engaging TV I've ever watched. I don't think we saw anything like it again until the end of season 3 of Game of Thrones.

Is funny because she should have been the main character instead it all goes back to being about the mary sue character because the director is fucking that actress.

Alice is a prime example of how not to write a character.

Another reason why I disregard the JJ verse and STD. The books continue the story and their leagues better than the woke fest that is current Trek

>What did they get so right with Carter that no one else can pull off?

she was a logical character, not an emotional one. daniel was the only female on stargate sg1. the only handful of episdoes where she even entertains relationships aren't about the relationships but about how any relationships would compromise her dedication to her job/the mission/stargate command, which she put first. while she might have 'muh vagina'd as a joke in the first season, it was as a joke. 'muh vagina' was never her motive for anything. whenever she was upstaging the guys it wasnt because 'im a strong waman!', it would be about her intelligence or topical expertise. her strengths were believable: she was a book smart science geek(believable) and she could shoot(believable). they never had her performing freakish feats of strength like teal'c and they presented her as vulnerable many times, something they never do with modern day 'strong female characters'. while every character on stargate sg1 is a ridiculous almost super hero like character, she was no moreso than the rest of the squad. if stargate were a modern show they would have cast a woman for colonel o'niell's role and you would never see her cry or taken prisoner.

True

>you're wrong we liked it in 2007

read what I said again slowly and understand it this time.

STD is an actual disease that might set back the franchise for a long time. Kurtzman will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. It's hardly considered trek. The only people I know who like it are ones that never saw any trek before.

you're fucking dumb and/or never watched all of stargate. sam and o'niell were in love but both put the integrity of stargate command's mission(the protection of earth) above their petty feelings. the 'will they or wont they' mechanic of the relationship was literally an inside joke with the production crew/cast/writers/etc because the plan from the start was NEVER to have them have a relationship. as for her and daniel, that was never even implied in any episode, the only love they had for each other was as platonic world saving heroes.

>That and Sam was one of the original Mary Sues

you're stupid. if anyone on the show was THE mary sue it was daniel, who literally died and came back as an ascended being and then went on to destroy all the ascended beings.

>To be fair, everyone on SG1 was a Mary Sue. That was part of what made it hilarious - all four of them kept getting away with the most insane shit.

this, the whole SG1 squad were practically super heroes, the 'best of the best' surviving ridiculous encounter after ridiculous encounter. the whole show is a 150+ hours of classic heroes journey trope'ing

Carter was supposed to play the woman card like every episode, but Amanda said it was stupid and unrealistic. She's fucking based.

I'm telling bro. These are leagues better than any Nu trek bullshit out now. You can just sit somewhere quiet. Pick up a book and just get lost in them.

You're projecting you fucking twerp. I binged all of the Stargates. Watch them on Showtime then watched them on Sci-Fi. I know what the fuck im talking about. You clearly dont. Go fuck yourself loser.

First saw this when I was 13 and at the peak of my "ew girls can't be action stars" phase, but like five minutes in I'd already forgotten that and was cheering her on like I would any other action hero.
If this was made today, then Ripley would look like an instagram slut and be in some catsuit doing high kicks against dudes with 150 lbs on her.

>all these newfags just discovering Evangelion
But you are wrong. Misato is a weak willed woman that uses others to validate her insecurities as she projects them onto those same people in the form of anger.

>I'm telling bro. These are leagues better than any Nu trek bullshit out now. You can just sit somewhere quiet. Pick up a book and just get lost in them.

all star trek is shit outside of the original series and enterprise. next gen, ds9, voyager are all cancer. ALL the films are cancer, even the ones with the OG cast. i cant imagine ever reading a star trek book, what an absolute faggot suggestion. hyper soi.

The ones that are actually well written as individuals and are shown to gain strenght through their own actions and overcoming trials and challenges. Women like Ellen Rippley, Sarah Connor, Buffy Summers, Nikkita, Clarice Stirling, Catherine Tramell, Echo, Sarah, Selene, Trinity...

Those are strong memorable characters that don´t need to remind the viewer they are women every 2 seconds.

Audio books don't count

I was talking about Aliens. See pic related

>Audio books don't count

audiobook adaptations of barney episodes count more than hardcover copies of star trek novels

>thats alien 3
"Aliens" actually, the 2nd installment of the franchise. That one was a straight up action film. Although you have to remember in "Aliens" she does sort of take on a maternal role by becoming Newt's protector, and in the final scene there's the parallel drawn between her wanting to protect Newt and the alien queen wanting to protect her own children so she isn't just some "generic meathead action hero #246" in that one either. IIRC in Alien 3 there was some kind of religious subtext, although I haven't seen it in over a decade so I can't say for sure.

you know how she interacts with Kaji and Shinji. She doesnt know how to compose herself, and shes filled with resentment because shes so insecure.

You've invalidating half the thread.

lol

are you kidding me? The mark of a "strong" woman is measured in how much abuse they've experienced. Without suffering emotional trauma women wouldnt consider themselves strong because thats how they identify. "look at me so strong no man can hurt me...because ive already been hurt so much". If they were strong, they'd be smart. But they are weak willed creatures that require validation in order to cope with themselves.

she worked because, even though she was smart and strong, all the other characters were strong in their regard.

How the hell is Rachel a strong character? She cries, gets raped by Harrison Ford and then runs off with him

star trek and stargate are now the reasons why i primarily find tomboys and dominant women far more attractive than normal women, thanks tv

A strong female character is treated as a strong female, not a man. Making her strong also shouldn't tell on making the men around her incompetent or weak. In fact, giving her competent men that listen to her and prove useful makes her seem stronger by default. Hollywood doesn't do this. She can be intelligent without being a doctor/scientist/alchemist, she can be strong without taking on a man three times her size, and she can be a good leader without making the men bad candidates for the leadership role. Basically, if you want to write a strong female, first you must write a man.

the majority of this list is absolute shit though

chloe > Max for that list

yes. especially misato.

> Rachael is presented to us as a mysterious and a seductive woman. She walks towards Deckard in a calculated stiffness, with her hand in her pocket, she introduces herself, sits down, and lights up a cigarette. In this particular moment she is very reminiscent of a stereotypical femme fatale type of character. As she holds the cigarette in between her long immaculately well polished fingers she transforms into a popular film noir actress. What is important to note in this image is how assuredly and gently she smiles at Deckard before she takes the test.
>he is presented as a cliché 1940’s movie star rather than someone with a unique identity which can be analysed though her appearance. Her hair is carefully styled and pinned up similar to that of a film noir actress. Her make-up, including her lipstick is meticulously and perfectly applied. She is dressed in a two piece black suite: a tight black pencil skirt and a well-tailored buttoned up jacket with high shoulder pads. She presents herself in rather formal and stiff attire which is accentuated by the small tie on her neck.
>As Rachael’s suspicion about her identity progresses she decides to escape and go against her creator Tyrell, going as far as shooting another replicant to save Deckard’s life. She is in a state of uncertainty about her future and seems distraught. It is quite evident that Rachael is no longer the perfect specimen we encountered in the first scene. She is taking on traits that are more human because she is becoming less perfect in her appearance as opposed to well composed and formally attired. In this scene she is still wearing the pencil skirt and the well-tailored buttoned up suit jacket; however, now we notice that the small tie around her neck has all of a sudden become loose and her eye make-up is running down her face.She is no longer the formal well-composed Rachael we first encountered as her appearance is slowly starting to change.

Nahh only the DVD rips I downloaded years ago.
I have this cycle where I watch SG-1 then Atlantis back to back for a few months, then a few months later start again from the start.
I used to get real high with a friend at his house and watch random episodes and loved it, only watched the entire thing 5 years ago for the first time and now must be on at least my 11th watch through the whole thing.

I've tried watching Farscape, but always stop after a few episodes... taken me a few years to get onto season 2 or 3 of that.
