11) The Bride (Uma Thurman) – Kill Bill (2003–2004)

In Kill Bill, the Bride is terrifying because she never hesitates. She moves with the focus of someone who has already lost everything. Her skills as an assassin make her nearly impossible to stop and her attacks feel personal in a way that leaves no room for mercy. Her rage comes from betrayal and heartbreak after being left for dead by the people she trusted. Every step she takes feels like a reminder that she refuses to stay broken. People admire her because she fights without fear and never backs down even when the odds are against her.
