You're Sexist If You Hate The Movie? Oh Boy. Time To Rant And Shut Up Some People.


So apparently you are sexist if you don't like this movie. Um, yeah. Don't go there. I hated Prey, but I put together a list of my favorite female characters. Whether if they are THE main character, main female character, or a supporting character.

First of all, Those Who Wish Me Dead was among my top five favorite movies of 2021 and that has a female character as the main character.


But here we go for favorite female characters (no particular order either).


Hermione Granger is my Harry Potter character

Elizabeth Swann is my favorite Pirates Of The Caribbean character

Olive Penderghast from Easy A

Laney Boggs from She's All That

Kelly (Kirsten Dunst's characters) from Get Over It

Trinity from The Matrix

Nancy Thompson from A Nightmare On Elm Street

Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, and Kirby Reed from the Scream movies

Megan (sheriff's daughter) from Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives

Lorraine Warren from The Conjuring 1, 2, and 3

Evelyn from The Mummy & The Mummy Returns

Hit-Girl from Kick-Ass

Halloween movies - Laurie Strode (every movie Jamie Lee Curtis plays her in), Allyson and Karen (2018 and Kills and probably Ends for Allyson), and Rachel and Jamie (Halloween 4). Honorable Mention would go to Sara in Halloween: Resurrection.

The Fog (original) - Stevie Wayne and Elizabeth Solley

Mako from Pacific Rim

DC (not limited to just movies either) - Wonder Woman (enjoyed the Gal Gadot movie), Catwoman, Zatanna, Harley Quinn, Talia al Ghul, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, and Mera (I can separate Amber Heard and the character when watching Aquaman)

Marvel (mainly MCU) - Scarlet Witch (enjoyed WandaVision and is my favorite MCU show), Nebula, Wasp, Kate Bishop and Yelena (give these two a spinoff team-up movie or TV show), Agatha Harkness/Agnes, Nakia, and MJ (plus Mary Jane Watson). Also, I'm interested in an A-Force or all-female team-up MCU movie or show.

Fast & Furious movies - Mia Toretto, Ramsey, Gisele, and Cipher (as a villain).

I also didn't mind Clueless and Bumblebee (both have main female characters).

Sarah Connor from The Terminator 1 & 2

Ripley from Alien & Aliens

I like to play as Lilith in Borderlands

I enjoyed the 2013 Tomb Raider game

My favorite female Mass Effect characters are Liara, Miranda, Jack, Tali, Aria, and Ashley. Someday I would like to do a playthrough as a female Commander Shepard.

So, you still want to call me a sexist and whatever else you are calling people that don't like Prey? Well, sit down and get over it that some people didn't like Prey. Prey was just god awful and other movies (plus video games and TV shows) did stuff better.

That's a good list. It reminds me that most old horror movies had female protagonists. Mostly women kicking butt and as the lone survivors. Mostly likable characters too.

There's no reason the lead in prey had to be so selfish and the secondary characters terrible people.

Agreed, those people are fucking idiots.
