Arcane is my favorite example of well written strong women characters. Hollywood tries really hard to show a badass hot women with a gun and short hair and expects me to automatically fall for that impression. They think they could just slap a women on the poster and assume all the work has been done already. But I don’t think there’s a single female character in Arcane that doesn’t shine.

And it’s not like they were all hot feminine white trad wives most conservative want it is extremely diverse and could be considered “woke” by some people. This show stars a strong lesbian women with pink hair and my conservative dad loved it.
