Our fixed version of Hollywood’s 50 best female characters

facebooktwitterreddit

The Hollywood Reporter came out with a list of the 50 best female characters and it was a little less than stellar so we rearranged it a bit.

In an article posted by The Hollywood Reporter, the site listed the 50 Best Female Characters. While every list is subject to a little disapproval, there were quite a few that we felt were out of place. Mainly because their list just ranked them by their characterization and not necessarily by which characters represented women in a positive light.

To us, the list was a little bit too mixed with having less-than-favorable characters near the top. For example, Amy Dunne was rather high up on their list. So, we just took their list of characters and fixed the order. Please note that The Hollywood Reporter left out amazing characters such as Jyn Erso, Clara Oswald, Minerva McGonagall and so many more.

But for now, we have this corrected list:
