Stole my answer
Forgot about her, but she was also really good
Another answer: Sam Carter from Stargate SG-1
Also, I'd say Jaimie Lee Curtis' character in the first Halloween movie was pretty good

I grew up with studio ghibli films and I never really cared for most of their female protagonists, except for the girl from the Cat Returns movie. She had a character arc where most of the ghibli female protagonists don't and already start off as girlbosses.
Edit:
I watched some parts of arcane but the gay shit turned me off. I will watch something with lesbos but the homosexuality needs to be treated as a mental illness.

For the 50% of the episodes the writers took Janeway seriously, sure.
Season 1 of Blacklist is pretty good. Watching through season 2 and not nearly as impressed as I was with Season 1... but there are 10 so something had to connect somewhere.
Main character is a female FBI agent supported by James Spader. Supported very well, but she's still the lead and does a decent job of holding the show.
Arcane has a good split among all the characters, each with their own motivations and realistic reactions to what happens to them. Applies to male and female characters equally.
The "Tales of" series of RPGs consistently has good characters, with particular female standouts being Magilou from Berseria and Raine and Sheenafrom Symphonia.

Most people realize a thread like this serves a purpose beyond just the specific likes and dislikes of OP as a hub for discussion, since unlike modern social media, there is some potential long term staying power. OP is not a colossal autist and realizes this, hence "you can post anime" even if he won't watch it.

Scandinavian crime fiction often features female protagonists that usually go through some sort of arc, often relating to the balancing of family and a mentally traumatizing job (though in this they are not so different from their male counterparts in the same genre). Forbrydelsen, which the Americans remade as "The Killing" is a good example of it, and one of the few shows where both versions hold up.

Janeway is the best captain.
I know it russles the jimmies of incels but Furiosa from the Mad Max movies and especially Auntie Entity in Beyond Thunderdome who is a great antagonist despite not being a "true" villain.
Sarah of the original Day of the Dead is probably one of my favorite characters in the Romeros movie.
Original Lara Croft is pretty cool, even if shes a bit socoopathic if you think too deeply on some of her actions. Played the trilogy HD thing after not touching the games since the 90s and it was a breath of fresh air not having some mopey Muppet who seems to be on the verge of tears.
Jackie Brown from... Jackie Brown is a character I really enjoy. I like her tough attitude she puts on while showing her vulnerability when she can relax. Plus Pam Grier is always fun.

HEAVY METAL
They tried pretty hard to "reboot" the whole Taarakian thing in Heavy Metal 2000, but didn't do it justice at all. I liked the main character alright, but it just wasn't the same. I think simple fictional characters work really well because it is harder to do a really good complex character without having a lot of writing talent or having the character come off as a blatant vehicle for you to express your political and social beliefs...which is something that happens with pretty much every fictional character these days, unfortunately.

Murder Britannica's Lucretia is a fun bitch to follow. Her shameless ways are nicely contrasted by her friend's Tryssa's much more down-to-earth attitude. The series is a light-hearted murder mystery set in Roman Britain. The second and third books build up on just how Lucretia became the way she is, which makes for very interesting character exploration.
Julie Garwood's books are full of funny, entertaining heroines with interesting stories. Women on the sweet side, rather than ruthless badasses. I am particularly fond of the Crown's Spies series.
Lizzie Martin is a series of murder mistery novels set in Victorian times, with all the limitations that being an educated but poor, unmarried woman entailed.
Tenmaku no Jaadugar/A Witch's Life in Mongol is a very cool manga about a muslim slave stuck in the Mongol empire, and how she slowly starts to manipulate politics by befriending important female figures, each with their own interesting story.

Bunch of wusses hating on Janeway for "violating the prime directive," and "committing war crimes," and "committing time crimes." Her only crime was not going far enough!
The episode where an alien civilization cooks up a fake evil Voyager crew to frame for a bio-holocaust is the best. We get to see what a badass she could have been, if the writers didn't chicken out of writing a story about a desperate captain lost in unknown territory with a crew full of terrorists.
I recently saw both the movies with Furiosa and they left my jimmies decidedly unrustled. I thought they were great!

The little girl in the Nicole Kidman ‘The Others’ movie was written really well. Not something people often think about. I like a lot of characters in Annihilation, that’s an all-female cast. I was forced to endure Titanic (no hate I just cba with the run time) and was surprised at how much I liked Rose. That whole scene when she is alone looking for help to save Jack, and has to go back down stairs where the water has now risen to her chest is legit as fuck. If we want to keep going mainstream, Katniss always is worth a mention.
I don’t consume a lot of media anymore, but these are some good picks I feel.

That's what I liked about her was her main mission was to get her crew home, prime directive be damn. If they could establish good relationships along the way, cool, but mess with her and she will unleash her fury on you like the crashing of a thousand waves.
Then proceed to take a bubble bath and enjoy her coffee to relax.
I'd be so for DMC6 being Nero and Nico's adventure. Trish and Lady are cool but Nico is just so much more fun.

I really loved Britannia (British TV show). I know it’s weird and not for everyone, but I’m shocked that even the Tumblr crowd hasn’t embraced it - lots of hot men and women to ship! There are “badass” women with unrealistic physical strength, but the show doesn’t debase the male characters in service of girl bossing. In fact, maybe the men win too often in the show for internet spaces to cream themselves over it like they do much worse slop.

It's already been mentioned like 5 times but Voyager. Not just Janeway, either. I thought 7 of 9 was going to play the stereotype strong woman character (which she ends up doing in later shittier "Trek") but she ended up being one of my all time favorite Trek characters.
