Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. I thought this would be a fun way to share a condensed version of potential rambles and thoughts that I have.

This Week’s Theme:
Top Ten Anti-Heroines In Television

Initial Thoughts:

A guy sways from his moral compass—typical.

A girl sways from her moral compass—huh?

There may be a disparity between the few anti-heroines in a vast sea of antiheros but times are a-changin’ and perhaps viewers now are more resilient and simply interested in complex characters than before. I mean, heroes are cool and all…but antiheros are somehow better.

The list below includes anti-heroines within the past year or so in moving pictures (not gonna lie, I’ve watched the Oscar opening too many times to count). I think I come across a lot more of these characters on television/film than I do in books.

This Week’s Theme:
Top Ten (or 20+) Comments
Regarding Romances In Books

Initial Thoughts:

It’s funny that this week’s theme comes just after my recent discussion post about The Diminishing Utility of Love Triangles where I highlight that everyone enjoys love triangles and it’s the execution that you [may] dislike. But this is just one dude’s opinion that you should never take seriously.

Anyhow, likes and dislikes are a fickle thing to claim because I’m sure that there are scenarios where I like the dislikes and vice versa. These things aren’t black and white and I surely wouldn’t auto-DNF a book based on my random comments. So the following is more like observations (mostly negative?) than anything else because there are 20+ points of randomness here.
