Who was the last weak female character you saw in a movie?

First to come to mind was definitely Willie who fricking sucked. Hope that poon was worth it Spielberg.

Between Willie in Temple of Doom and Vicki Vale in Batman, weak female characters in movies are annoying as frick.

The character played by Carey Mulligan in Drive (2011) was somewhat weak, but it was a solid character for the main character (Ryan Gosling) to fall in love with.

Kristen Wiig in WW84, was not remotely a strong enough character to pull off a WW crusher in what was matter a matter of days

During The Great Freeze of 2021 all I did for a solid week was cook, drink, keep generators running, load up the fireplace and watch movies/tv. So I’ve got a few answers to this question fresh on my mind

Jenny- Forrest Gump
Darcy- Varsity Blues
Tina- Return of the Living Dead
Mattie Earp- Tombstone

Trainee Judge Anderson in Dredd.

The girl in Baby Driver was pretty much a damsel in distress. She wasn't any of the irritating things you mention, but she was certainly not a "strong woman" character.

All time has to be Adrian Balboa.

Lily James was very attractive in Baby Driver




To answer OP’s question, it’s actually surprised me how many good female characters we’ve gotten over the years. Gotten some bad ones too, but those can be chalked up to agenda pushing (rather than focusing on their character) and poor writing.
