50 influential fictional women in nerd history

The Dora Milaje

The Dora Milaje are honestly the coolest group of warriors around. And they’re all women. In the film Black Panther, we are introduced to their elite army of women warriors … and we never want to anger them.

You know you are an insanely good warrior when you say that guns are primitive (a line from the film) but if you have weapons like the Wakandans do, of course you think our “modern” technology is primitive.

But what is truly amazing about the Dora Milaje is their grace while fighting. They are fierce and terrifying, and watching them fight is like watching a very brutal ballet that you can’t take your eyes away from. Honestly if they wanted to fight me, I would be terrified but accept it because if you anger them, you deserve whatever is coming to you.

The Dora Milaje aren’t new. They’ve been a part of the Black Panther lore for quite some time. But they are a new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and, luckily for us, we get to see them again in Avengers: Infinity War , where the entire final battle takes place in Wakanda.

I just wouldn’t anger them because if you do, you probably won’t make it out alive.
