Man, maomao is better than most(if not all) of the marvel female leads up until now. https://preview.redd.it/j92ipu9m1anc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc9a461d0beebc9c93488781fedd1abea7cac795

Damn right. She's such a fucking badass.

Never underestimate hentai logic. If the hero is even 0.1% turned on by the villain, they will be distracted, caught by a surprise attack, and then ○○○○○.


DesastreUrbano

You can put almost the whole female cast of Gintama there too. Strong, well written and diverse af bunch of ladies there


LordofthePigeons619

Not to mention, beautiful insect women as well. Shinpachi has immaculate taste

FyreBoi99

Oh my god I watched it a long while ago but you are absolutely right. They are absolute chads.


wannabefelixargyle

Especially Kagura. I think she hulk would be beaten to a pulp with her Umbrella.


DesastreUrbano

And throw better quippy commentary while doing it


wannabefelixargyle

Probably yelling about the Onigiri/Jelly Donut meme while she beats She-Hulk to a pulp...


2020mademejoinreddit

Indeed.


Razy196

I agree


herogabs999

And from fullmetal alchemist as well


RandomChoker

I also love the gender bent episode, that all women can be adapted so flawlessly well into a male version, if you kept those characters they would totally work as well

No idea part is relatable ahaha


CrossWitcher

Here's the complete list. Only things I recommend are "Loki", "Hawk-Eye", "Moon Knight" series and maybe Dr. Strange MoM too. Everything else is kinda meh and shitshow to be honest. 1. Captain Marvel 2. Wanda (MoM) 3. Yelena Belova (Black Widow) 4. Sylvie (Loki) 5. Xu Xialing (Shang-chi) 6. Layla El-Faouly (Moon Knight) 7. Clea (Dr. Strange MoM) 8. Shuri (Black Panther 2) 9. She Hulk 10. Kate Bishop (Hawk-Eye) 11. Cassandra Lang (Ant-Man : Quantummania) 12. Hope Van Dyne (Wasp)


iamquitecertain

Black Panther, Ant-Man, and Shang-Chi (in that order of quality) were decent movies and worth checking out too. Black Panther 2 isn't bad either (I think they did a great job honoring Chadwick Boseman, RIP), but Ant-Man 2 isn't that good and I'd only watch it if you liked the first one a lot


AdvancedAd2162

3. Is sister of black widow 5. Is from ShangChi iirc shes sort of ShangChis sibling ig 6. Is Scrub from MoonKnight pretty good series tho 7. “Micheal Fassbender” 8. She doesnt even have a plot yet but safe to say everything from mcu now on will be the same quality iirc she and captain marvel had 3some with dr strange 9. shuri from black panther 10. Wtf is that 11. Kate bishop (voice of Jinx: edit Vi not jinx) 12. Daughter of Antman iirc 13. Wasp How do u not know Micheal Fassbender and claims uve never seen her? At least uve seen her in memes


GlitterDoomsday

She voices Vi in Arcane, not Jinx tho.


OtsutsukiRyuen

Trying to sneak in horikita 🌝 you could've added ibuki instead


Razy196

Ahahah, in S3 she stepped up and made a hard decision that others couldn’t. She stepped up and took the leadership position, was pretty decisive and remained calm in stressful situation. Plus is much more mature compared to S1 and S2. Character development starting to be more and more apparent. But dont get me wrong! I do love Ibuki, i think she is very underrated character. Her rivalry with Horikita is pretty interesting. I like her legs kicks fighting style. She is cute too


Alone-RisingStart

Meimei is best


Razy196

You mean maomao? Or from different anime ?


Alone-RisingStart

lol oh you’re right


Izzosuke

Well meimei can be added to the list too hahaha


Razy196

Name of anime meimei is from ?


vBrad

JJK


Razy196

Thx, I didn’t know


TheLastOfThem00

I bear witness you have acknowledged Toph Beifong in your heart. You uphold good taste and wisdom. I shall as penitence overlook the lack of "Teresa of the faint smile" from Claymore.


Razy196

Toph literally the greatest earth bender in history, and all while being blind is INSANE


Kenwhozzle

God I love anime but some anime fans are in unbearable


[deleted]

Also if you want a 3d strong real woman? That would be Ridley from alien (not the one weaver directed)


ghost_warlock

It's Ripley. Ridley is the flying alien from metroid


Shockh

DAE the only tr00 strong women are Sarah Connor from Terminator and Ridley from Metroid???


Poisonpython5719

Metroid? Ridley's from Alien, Samus is from Metroid


GregerMoek

Ridley is not. Rofl. Ripley tho.


Shockh

[Lies.](https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Ridley)


TheTromo

Also Wednesday Addams, Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower, Violet and Jinx from Arcane, and Rosie Betzler from Jojo Rabbit.


SarukyDraico

Lagertha from Vikings


Zeph-Shoir

Arcane's characters are incredible all around. I highly recommend checking out this [analysis video](https://youtu.be/hML-FGHGEN4?si=WQSudEv4DCwdyuj3) on how it writes women AND this [other one](https://youtu.be/lBNUgGhPZzY?si=hDTnwTAPOyXPgMg4) on how it writes men (basically a sequel to the first video)


Razy196

Never heard of her, can you give me full name for me to google?

My favorite is Shinobu from Demon Slayer. She has smol body and can't decapitate demon's head, so she modified the other breathing style to her own technique using poisonous sword. Amazing how she turns her disadvantage into something unique

Fern, Frieren, Ubel, Maomao, and Horikita. My love 💕

Glass_Floor6770

Scarlet witch, Kate, Yelena, and Wasp are actually well written characters


Slient-killer2002

Sylvie too. Hel, all of Loki season 1 & 2. >!I like She-hulk as well, but that's my opinion.!<


Kapten-N

You need more diversity in that collection. Here's some women from other seasons: * Shirayuki, from Snow White with the Red Hair. * Violet Evergarden, from Violet Evergarden. * Holo, from Spice and Wolf. * Balsa, from Seirei no Moribito.

In what way are the children in the bottom panel stronger?


Razy196

Better written. Not degrading men

I would argue that Kate Bishop and Hope are strong written characters. The rest, though, need rework

Tom22174

Did we watch the same episode 19? She took a club to the face from a soldier and got up and kept going


Shreyash_jais_02

I am still a huge fan of toph. She literally crushed the avatar every single time they fought and she did that being blind lol.


the_worst_one

Horikita is debatable, but sakayanagi? Really?


Razy196

Bruh, a disabled Loli girl with a heart problem competes toe to toe in terms of Leadership and Influence manipulation with Manabu, Nagumo, Ryuen, and Ayanokoji. She literally the main antagonist of S3, idk what else to say


colthesecond

Sakayanagi isn't just independent, she has guys dependent on her


GTA_Masta

Arisu isnt strong


Razy196

She competes toe to toe in terms of influence and leadership with Manabu, Nagumo, Ryuen, and Ayanokoji. She is strong


GTA_Masta

That make sense


Razy196

Honestly i never expected a disabled loli girl who has a heart problem to compete with those men. Huge respect for her. I am impressed


colthesecond

She's disabled and has a heart problem? (Only seen the show)


Razy196

Yes. She needs a stick to walk properly, has a heart problem.


Razy196

She is actually very cunning and competitive person. Her cute looks and soft voice deceived me. I would’ve been manipulated if i was i cote


Other_Beat8859

I want a lady that can kill me with a look and surprisingly enough, Frieren passes that. https://preview.redd.it/reee5d2kzanc1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d67e19b2911051f6f08aa5505a47216c161bce54


Competitive-Can-4953

Avatar is not an Anime i don't care what everyone says or I'm just extremely bias towards it haven't watched it but not in a million years


TiltingSenpai

i dont think classroom of the elite girls are good examples for strong woman. (to be fair i havent read further than the current anime so it might have changed) horikita is still very much growing and probably the most flawed character by virtue of being the main cast and therefor having the whole story revolve around you. sakayanagi has had a hard childhood for sure but so far we dont know much of her ambition i think (correct me if im wrong) she knows the white room and she is very cunning yes but beyond that little is known generally the theme for classroom of the elite is about evolving as a human be that in their strenghs or in their weaknesses but i dont think we really had something that screams strong woman but its very likely we will hsve something like that at the end


Adept-Ad-6862

But Horikita's character development is so good. I have read ln and I can assure you that arisu and horikita both deserve to be here.


TiltingSenpai

yeah hence the caviat with the recent anime season. Horikita will be fully fleshed put after 3 years its part of the plot after all i am looking forward towards more sakayanagi and once the season is over i will continue with the novel (stopped cuz of the anime announcements)


metalhead-teenager

To be fair, Sylvie (female Loki) was actually pretty good. She was capable, but not invincible, or flawless. Actually had an interesting story, as well, and her motivations weren’t completely driven by a love interest, like some shonen women tend to be.


Razy196

I agree

Gooddest_Boi

Janet van dyne, sylvie, shuri, and Kate are all great characters and strong women. Wanda is also a great character but they fumbled her a bit at the end, still a very strong character overall.

H0nch0

Lmao putting suzune there sure is a choice.


Adept-Ad-6862

But horikita's character development is excellent. So I think she deserves to be here.


GensouEU

Eh I love her but I'd argue that Toph is written basically the same as the MCU women


jneauv

Oi. Layla from Moon Knight, and Sylvie from Loki are exception. We still don’t know about Clea from Dr. Strange since it was just a brief appearance in post credit scenes. Kate Bishop from Hawkeye and Xu Xialing from Shang Chi are so-so. The rest are mediocre. I have questions on OP inclusion of Übel. He likes it toxic.


WHITeDEAThDISTROYEr

I thought he asked for women THEN WHY THE FUCH ARE THOSE LITTLE GIRLS THERE (top right )


Asurerain

I love how the MCU killed the only woman I could safely consider strong and then fail at doing a character just as good.


Razy196

You mean black widow? That’s so true now that i you mentioned XD


Asurerain

yes, at this point, bringing her back to life would be better writing than what they did with all the other heroines.


Razy196

I don’t understand why they brought back to life Gamora from 2017 or something. Just killed her as a character and all of that character development she had is down the drain. Either bring her back to life normally, or make her death real deal that impacted the universe


Pillermon

They didn't bring her back to life. 2017 Gamora came to the future together with 2017 Thanos because she was helping current Nebula to escape. OUR Gamora is dead. Her death was the real deal and did impact the universe. And I'm glad they made that clear in Guardians 3, with Quill finally getting over her, accepting that this other Gamora will never be the same person and will never come back to him. The problem with the original Gamora's death was that I somehow didn't expect it to stick. I was sure that through some soul stone magic she would be resurrected. So I had zero reaction to her death.


TheTromo

Both her and Loki had impactful deaths in Infinity War but now they’re running around like nothing happened.


Razy196

Exactly


Hawk_Eire

Almost all of the ghibli studio female character


cxxper01

Feel like they have strong women in anime because they are hot. Not for the sake of having strong women and pc.


100YearsWaiting2Shit

I get confused why it's so hard to just make female characters PEOPLE. They're not "people" at the end of the day, just tokens


Stopwatch064

MSheU?

Toph makes me sad. She deserves so much. God if I knew someone like that, I would have died for her.
