Alien IP would be an incredible theme for Unmatched. Alien vs the entire crew of the <insert ship name here> would be sooooooo much fun. just imagine 1 mini vs 5+ 😆mic_al wrote:
Surprised for no Joan of Arc.
I'd say she's a more positive feminist image (she was an inspirational image for a nation) then the various Witch characters you first listed. For example, it has been argued in some literary circles that Grendel's mother (a strong female character) is monstrous/twisted because she subverted stereotyped gender roles and is therefore "evil." (She was not originally the beauty portrayed by animated Angelina Jolie.) Baba Yaga, Circe, etc... conform to these stereotypes in their own ways as well. (Classical heores are usually male, strong females are portrayed as using their feminine wiles (e.g. Circe) for corruption and entrapment or are usually monstrous like witches.)
A few more interesting choices:
Zheng Yi Sao (aka Shi Xianggu, Ching Shih, and Shek Yeung) the Chinese Pirate Queen
Annie Oakley from the Wild West (and/or Calamity Jane and/or Pocahantas)
Ripley from ALIEN (honestly one of the best and most realistically portrayed fictional heroines imo) (We also need an ALIEN vs Predator vs Terminator set anyways :geek_tongue:). Ripley can have her powerloading suit from ALIENS.
Scientists like Rosalyn Franklin or Marie Curie.
Cleopatra
Scheherazade is cool. And the White Queen, Baba Yaga, and Circe would be cool as villains.
