I really like that Game Of Thrones made Brienne a character who seems like she really could plausibly kill the sh*t out of people; she’s not some super-sexy anime character who’s secretly got a DEADLY SIDE, or some boring concession to show that “women can be tough too!” but it’s just some petite female actress somehow beating up fifty dudes just because the movie needed to have a woman beat up fifty dudes. When Brienne kills three people it seems completely believable, making for a much less patronizing “tough woman” character than, say, the Charlie’s Angels movies (though everything else about those movies is correct.)
