Is there a movie or television show in which the female character isn't the most insufferable?

Everytime they try too hard to write the female character as strong and independant, it will be obnoxious as fuck

>Looking back on her character in 2009, Weaver told AFI that, “I think what attracted me to Ellen Ripley was that she, first of all, was a character who was written as a man, so it was written in a very straightforward way. This was a kind of direct person who didn’t have these scenes where she was suddenly vulnerable and she didn’t throw her hands up and wait for someone else to save her. She was a thinking, moving, deciding creature. And I think that the other thing that interested me was that she went from someone who sort of believed the world was a certain way, to someone who couldn’t believe in anything any more, and went from someone who’s sort of a thinking person to someone who’s kind of an instinctive animal. So there was lots of progressions in the character that I just thought would be very interesting to play.”

It's literally a male written character being played by a woman. They don't even deny it.

These are the actors thoughts on the subject, not the person who wrote the character who has far more credibility in determining what their character is and is not.

All this Lisa hate's getting on my nerves a bit

People on here probably only hate her because they identify with Bart (the 10 year old)

no one denied, that ripley originally was written as a male

Fuck off she's a bitch who forces her views on others.

thanks for the clarification

Lisa is insufferable because her episodes are Jame L Brook's. you can see his treacly fingerprints all over them.
>>
>>67185437
She learns her lesson at the end to keep her views but not shove them down others throats... that's literally the point of the episode

and school obviously should provide veggy options , are you dumb?

but she actually does action stuff. Lisa just goes on about buhddism and vegetarianism

All that's important is if someone watches the episode haves some laughs and learns from it.For me that episode ticked all the boxes

>>67183772
Pretty bad, one I recall is where she wanted Homer to ref Soccer and then gets mad at him for not letting her cheat with bad calls.

The point is that every main character is insufferable, except it's enjoyable to the audience.

There's a reason why there's ton of Bart merchandise but hardly any of Lisa
>>
>>67186383
>has no flaws
I hate her but she does have plenty and they take the time to show them in a lot of episodes, especially the ones where she acts sanctimonious
>>
>>67186383
People still buy Bart merchandise? Is this the 90s?
>>
>>67184955
None of the characters were written with a gender in mind

Oh, God....Flanders ripping into Lisa during his famous Hurricane Neddy tirade was a top 10 Simpsons moment for me

I never realized what a cunt Lisa was until she called Homer a baboon. I don't give a fuck what she was going through at the time; that was out of line and Bart would have most certainly gotten choked for that if he had said it.

The vegetarian episode was probably her worst episode in terms of being a cunt (although I hated her in the angel skeleton episode, too)
>>
>>67187571

>And for no reason, here is a Beatle and his wife to glorify vegetarianism and make Lisa feel empowered

God I hate that episode, first half was actually fine and produced some solid laughs like the Flanders reunion and seeing Flanders from around the world which was eerie how similar they all were.
