Live Poll: Favorite Movie Heroine of 2023

Thanks, Dan. I'm happy to be doing it. 

O, wow. This year is the first time I became aware of these, I think. (If I knew about the one for, say, 2017, then I definitely forgot.)

@jeorj_euler​ Thanks for the interest, Jeorj. : )

@rubyfruit76​ ,

I'm happy to see that you now consider this poll complete.

Thanks much, @Jessica 

Both have been added. : )

@Pencho15​ Oh my gosh, thank you! My niece and I are going to watch that together so we've had to wait until I get well enough to go to her place -- so I don't know the details yet. That's great that Ferrera has that part: I've always really liked her and her work since I saw her in 'Real Women Have Curves' and "The Good Wife" and saw her interviewed on PBS for an uninterrupted hour. 

I'll definitely add her right now. Is Robbie's Barbie also a hero of the film or should I remove her?

@rubyfruit76​ Oh, I hope I didn't spoil it for you :( . My girlfriend is a huge Barbie fan and I have seen the movie twice with her.

Barbie can also be considered a heroine I think, her journey is more personal than America's but still very important.

@Pencho15​ Oh and no, you didn't spoil it for me at all. : )

@Pencho15  Oh wow, that's so great that there's a pregnant superhero and that she's African-American, too. I added her, as well as Gwen Stacy, and put that movie on my watchlist. Thank you, so much, for letting me know about them!

I saw 'Boston Stranger' last spring so actually had Loretta McLaughlin on the list already but you may have missed her because the photo's pretty dark. (It's the same picture you suggested but in that little box, the darkness is somewhat problematic.) I'm trying to find a better one from another source, which is proving difficult because most of the film is pretty dimly-lit. I liked her character a lot and I love that she's based on the real Loretta McLaughlin. If I can find a decent photo and there's room, I may add Jean Cole, too. 

@rubyfruit76​ I see her now. Hopefully you'll find a good image.

@Aris_Athanas  Thanks for the suggestions! I added Carol Danvers and will definitely go through the rest when I have more time. Are Kamala Kahn and Monica Rambeau also heroes of the movie?

@rubyfruit76​ Yeap

@rubyfruit76 Indeed all three female characters in The Marvels are heroines in equal stand. However, they might take too much space in the poll, so perhaps you could add an image that includes the three of them and add them as "The Marvels", just like you did with the heroines in Joy Ride.

This is a poster, but it may work: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10676048/mediaviewer/rm357718529?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_pos_36

@Pencho15​ Thanks, so much, Pencho, for the image. I had been looking for images of the three of them together using Google Images and the two good ones that I found weren't accepted by IMDb so I wasn't sure what I was going to do. The poster you suggested saved me. I figure that it will work because the three women have such huge name recognition that it's not necessary to have their faces appear close-up. Thanks again!

@Aris_Athanas​ I also added Jamie Hughes and Lucy Grey (and am waiting for an image of another). I had to leave a few off because I'm already at 33. Thank you, so much, for the suggestions!

@albstein​ Thank you, so much, for these suggestions! Four of five of these movies have been on my "to see" list for 2023 films but I've only gotten to see Poor Things so far. I'm afraid Teacher's and Afire won't come to my city so it may be quite a wait until I get a chance to see those two. 

Oh wow, there's poetry in Afire?! That makes me want to see it even more, of course. : )  And that makes me want to add Nadja: would it make sense?

Oh and I'm waiting for an image of Ansa to hopefully be approved. I'm waiting for about six photos for the whole list and hopefully then I can finally finish it. :)

Thanks again!

Oh my gosh, I forgot about Celie! I haven't seen the new movie but I've read the book a few times and seen Spielberg's film several times and Celie is definitely my kind of hero. : ) The problem was that made me forget her as a hero for this past year so thank you so much, @Pencho15 

@Pencho15​  I also added Eleanor, Nimona, and Debika Chatterjess. I may have room for one more if a photo is approved. Thank you, so much, for all the help! I can't wait to finally finish this one. : )

@Jessica Thanks, Jess! And another thanks for the three cheerleaders, lol. If I didn't like making polls, I might still do it just to see those cheerleader emoji. : )
