My favorite one is Ellen Ripley in Alien. One thing that kind of disappointed me was that initially the role was written for a man and only later Ridley Scott switched it. In other words, one way they could create a strong a female lead is by pretending she is a man. It worked in the end but wish it would have been just as good and written for a woman. Another thing I'd like to see more is women supervillains. Supervillains always have the coolest lairs, toys, minions that listen to them etc. They might lose in the end but often have a great run. I started to think about it when my daughter one day wanted to be Darth Vader but the problem is "he is a boy" so she would have to settle to a princess for example.
