To be fair, Sarah Connor was more of a badass once she could do chin ups.

In a similar vein, Evelyn Wang from Everything Everywhere All At Once... She may not start out badass, but oh boy does that change

How could I forget about Lesley?

Sofia Boutella, in any role she's had - Atomic Blonde, The Mummy Tom Cruise Upstages, Kingsman, etc.

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

quietly ignores Rebel Moon and her abysmal performance, and not just the writing either.

[–] BruceLee@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jo Kang Ja from Angry Mom and her legendary flying kick.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That girl is legendary. Je suis allé revoir l'extrait après avoir lu ce commentaire. edit: episode 2, 11:30-13:45. That's how Bang Wool ascended to the Beolgoopo's Sashimi of legend.

Also, Jang Man-wol from Hotel Del Luna.

[–] BruceLee@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Il y en a beaucoup dans les dramas coréens. Là je pense à :

  • Choi Yeon-ah dans You are the Best Lee Soon Shin
  • la génialisme Park Hoo-ja dans My Fellow Citizens
  • Ji Soo-Hyun dans Big Issue
  • Kang Sun-ah dans Goodbye wife
  • la FL dans Sell Your Haunted House
[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Il y a bcp de femme forte en général. Mais souvent on ne peut pas les qualités de badass parce qu'il y a un côté force physique / sexy/charismatique au personnage qu'on retrouve moins dans les personnages écrits pour un public féminin.

Do Rahe dans Be Arrogant rentre dedans, la sexualisation en moins.
Pareil pour Kang Yunhe dans Modern Farmer pourtant joué par la superbe Lee Honey.

Côté Jdrama, il y a Sangenya Machi dans Your Hause Is My Business Nami dans Caution, Hazardous Wife ou Yamaguchi Kumiko dans Gokusen.

Bon, Gokusen, c'est un cas à part, mais pour les autres, se sont des rôles de femmes fortes et belles mais la beauté n'est pas sexualisée.

[–] BruceLee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Oui c'est ça des femmes fortes, parfois importantes voire même imposantes mais pas forcément des badass.
Il y a aussi Cindy dans Producer que j'ai bien. C'est le rôle qui m'a fait aimé IU.
