I know some legit awesome humans, but there are also some mega crappy ones so I'll give you that.
The tl;dr version is a sport on ice, field, or floor, but Samwell bros will say ice is superior.
Sure, okay. So a badass lady is a fully actualized character who is able to handle problems on her own--or with the help of friends, that's legit too. Basically, a character who stands on her own, has a personality, gets shit done. Which is like, a low bar, but Hollywood has done ladies BAD for YEARS.
