[Discussion] Flawed canon and "bad" characters

[anenko.livejournal.com]

Who are your favourite "guilty pleasure" female characters? The ones who aren't good examples of what can be done with female characters, but who you deeply love anyway?

Have you spent hours creating backstory for a female character whose sole purpose in canon is to provide eyecandy for fanboys? Do you feel wildly passionate about a woman from a badly written, sexist series? Is your OTC a woman who died in the first episode of a new series, before the opening credits even began to roll?

Yes! And I was really afraid to watch the 2004 production of My Name Is Modesty (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347591/), but I loved it. Kind of a lot.

I saw the movie with Terrence Stamp as the queerest Willie Garvin ever! I was too timid to watch My Name Is Modesty but I may now, at your recommendation.
