he/him@nixCraft Another cornerstone of a horny young Trout's pantheon of attractive women
Scully was alongside such greats as Ripley, Vasquez, and Xena in my S tier fictional crushes
Epistomai@TeflonTrout @nixCraft but only this character was close to reality, the others were too fictional
@epistomai @nixCraft Ripley and Vasquez are perfectly believable, I've met people not too dissimilar
@TeflonTrout the lore is fictional, not the characters
@epistomai THAT makes sense, gotcha
CakeMonster@nixCraft crazy that representation works!
Thad@nixCraft Hoping we see her again in Coogler's new series.
markLet us hope that folks are also inspired by her compassion and stamina portrayed in 'The Salt Path'.
AI Pineapple Dog Thing@nixCraft Scully is the reason I quit watching that show. Her sense of disbelief made the show unbearable to me. But it's good to see that she inspired some people
