By skyforbes I've felt Michelle Rodriguez has been trying to be Vasquez in every movie she's in but nobody has ever been as cool and bad ass as Vasquez.
I re-watched Aliens not that long ago and it's impressive how big a part Vasquez has in the movie. She's confident, strong, such a stealth personality that being a woman isn't a problem, the guys respect her and play around with her as she is able to show she's better than any guy around. And she never shows fear or vulnerability, she's always shooting them guns and taking the risks. To the end, she's a hero. I love that character, probably more so than Ripley whom Vasquez teasingly calls Snow White.
