I love Tulip.

YES!!! I loved Tulip from the very moment she bit the ear off that guy she was fighting in her car. I loved how memorized that little girl looked when she asked her name. I understood why she was taken with Tulip.

One of my favorite parts of the season finale was when Jesse kissed her and she punched him in the nose. I burst out laughing because it was unexpected. I think thats what Jesse likes about her, she's a bad ass, but doesn't mind showing her vunerable side.

She is obviously meant to be tough but adorable but fails miserably at both. She is one of the most annoying characters I've seen in a very long time. She sees to be loved by silly white kids that never actually interact with anyone darker than snow. She's supposedly black but looks like a slightly tan white girl so to moronic millennialls she is safe.

No offense to you personally.

Love her too. The scene where she goes outside to blow up the helicopter is my favorite in the series.

She's the worst character on the show, portrayed by a lousy over-actor, and there's nothing about her, other than her name, that is like her character from the source material.

What you can't put your finger on, is probably that Tulip is written with tons of nuance. She's not dogmatic. She's not just one thing. And yeah, she's a tough bada$$, but she's also not afraid to be emotional or feminine. She is whoever she wants to be at the moment and owns it. She's also very loyal, sweet and vulnerable underneath her tough exterior (for good reason, because her backstory is so sad), which makes her more endearing.

The problem with tough female characters in media isn't because they're tough, it's because the same amount of time and care is not given to the writing of them that's given to male characters. They shorthand a lot of these tough, female characters and expect you to fill in the blanks. Men get to be 3D, because screenwriters are men (another MAJOR reason why female characters often suck). If the actress plays the part as written, then it's often flat.

When you think of the tough women who are iconic in film and tv (Ripley, Dana Scully, Jessica Jones, Clarice Starling, Veronica Mars, even Xena, etc), you can see the time that was poured into crafting real people instead of a 'type'.

I'd argue the same holds true for male characters. I really hate paper thin tough guy leads and prefer my male protagonists to be more than just a hot body and a good fighter. This is why antiheroes are so much easier to like. Jesse and Cassidy are antiheroes, and they're memorable and awesome. Jason Statham's entire movie repertoire (except for Spy, which was an awesome comedy) is boring and monotonous.

Tulip is honestly amazing and I love everything about her. It's completely understandable why both Jesse and Cass would be enamored with her.

I absolutely HATE Tulip. The whole macho woman cliche is so played out. Sick of seeing 90 lb women beating men up twice their size. The female ego is so huge nowadays ALL women on TV are "kickass" just like every commercial has the dumb man and the know-it-all woman. yawn.

At least TRY to make it believable. Nah, we'll have the 1000th scene of the 90lb woman running and jumping on a man and throwing him through the air when she uses her thighs to grab his neck

Obama got 43% of the white vote, McCain got 5% of the black vote. Who's the racist again?

Me too. She's tough as nails but also shows a kind side.

Never read the comic, though know the Tulip in the comic was different. However, cannot imagine anyone else playing that part now.

Also, really like the chemistry between Tulip, Cassidy and Jesse.
