The characters had their own personalities and values that many could relate with , and showed strength by overcoming obstacles with great effort while maintaining their femininity.

They were vulnerable and would get hurt.

Ripley is believable
Connor is schizo prepper waifu fantasy
Leeloo is sexy idiot savant girl friend fantasy

I didnt think Leeloo was an especially good character. I'd suggest replacing her but offhand I dont know with who.

Based

This. They didn't have to more masculine, they just had to be strong. A lot of media nowadays thinks that making a character basically a man with tits is somehow making a strong woman.

Twitter didn’t exist. Also Any Forums didn’t exist

Call me coomer or whatever, but I don't have a problem with Leeloo, I really like her and Milla. Having said that, I think either Furiosa, Cassandra Anderson or Dizzy Flores deserve to have that third spot more than her.

Sarah Conner in Terminator is a maiden becoming a mother. That is her story, it is essentially feminine. In Terminator 2 she is a mother that had to protect her child without a masculine guardian, and then needs to accept the one that shows up. It's also an essentially feminine story as well.
Leeloo is more of a deranged sexual fantasy from Luc Besson, like all his female characters. Leeloo is mostly acceptable just because she actually isn't even a true woman in the story, but an artificial construct. And she is cute.

*also ripley and sarah are franchise characters so leeloo also sticks out that way.

This is stupid nonsense. People's opinions aren't curated by Any Forums. It's not an echo chamber that controls people's minds. The idea that movies are just the same as they always have been is nonsense too.

They're masculine and unattractive. They're kinda like your cool aunt who's sexuality is ambiguous. You're not thinking of fucking them, unless you have painfully low standards or you're a closeted faggot

>Furiosa

She's just a standard, contemporary female character that is designed to be a pseudo-man and intended to replace the masculine hero. The character would be more meaningful if it was a man because it would embody the archetypal hero, which is masculine.

They DID shit and didn't spend entire scenes talking about their FEEEEEEEELINGS.

Don't know about twitter, but Any Forums likes a good number of female characters from action and scifi kinos in recent years. Dredd, Edge of Tomorrow, Mad Max FR and Atomic Blonde come to mind. I'm sure there's more.

I would agree about Sarah if she didn't have the breakdown at Dyson's house. In the end she lacks the ruthlessness to make the sacrifices to save the world. It's why she's a shit character in the new one.

Only one I've thought of so far but I'd replace Leeloo with Annie as portrayed in 1982 by Aileen Quinn

>designed to be a pseudo-man and intended to replace the masculine hero.
What movie did you watch user? When it came to a physical confrontation, Max BTFOs her almost too easily. And he ends up showing her the right way and saving her life.
Furiosa was strong and tough, but she wasn't unbeatable and didn't have all the answers.

this, they felt like real women, not the modern contrived feminist portrayal

Leia replaces Leeloo

OT Leia sounds about right.
