I don't want to watch the new Terminator when it comes out just because I don't want grandma Connor to ruin my memory of the character. Sarah Connor, Ripley, and a bunch of other great well written female characters are the pinnacles of what it means to write a good character that just happens to be female, rather than pandering attempts to write a gender before personality. When my nieces gets older, they're who I will point to to show them that women can kick some ass without being insufferable cunts in the process.
