Comic Con 2012 Powerful Women of Pop Culture Panel

Entertainment Weekly: Powerful Women in Pop Culture (aka Women Who Kick Ass!)- Fan-favorites Kristin Bauer van Straten (True Blood), Sarah Wayne Callies (Walking Dead), Kristin Kreuk (Beauty and the Beast), Nikki Reed (Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2), and Anna Torv (Fringe) open up about the power and privilege of playing characters that have redefined the rules for women. Basically, a discussion with women who kick ass. Moderated by EW's Lynette Rice

I REALLY LOVE HOW ANNA *REALLY* TALKS WITH HER HANDS.

[@stellakirstan504]

Oh my god anna torv and lucy lawless.wish I was there. Anna looked so pretty. A bronze goddess

[@alexisortiz4221]

OMG SO MANY COMMENTS ABOUT ANNA TORV :D i love her so much xD

[@anneudge]

Thank You So Much For Posting This Video!!!!! Best version so far!!! and P.S. Anna Is ADORABLE

[@annabriciacosta6336]

I’m here to make a eco to my latina friend. We really love Anna Torv and she is such sweet and talented person. I think that if this panel were today, Anna would have a lot to talk about women driving or writing due to their roles in secret city and the newsreader, which bring incredibly strong and complex women.

[@mollyxx9247]

You can tell that Lucy and Kristin get along well the way Lucy is looking at her and their interactions the reason I watched this panel

[@Angelina911]

ANNA stunning TORV

[@5chocolatedragon]

If only Lucy and Anna could act in SOMETHING together....

[@hop1185]

OMG ANNA TORV... MARRY ME!!! This woman is perfection! Gorgeous, sweet, gracious, funny, intelligent... I'm in love! Lol

[@Krista2882]

32:52- that girl just drops that bomb of a question and nopes out lmao

[@deetress2382]

this panel was after Sarah shot her death scene but before her death episode aired, so she basically lied her way through this panel and twd season 3 panel. amazing.

[@deetress2382]

+Edward Carnby what?

[@edwardcarnby9134]

+nothing Fuck you! How dare you hate on Sarah just because of Lori!!!!

[@deetress2382]

+Edward Carnby what are you talking about?? I've been a fan of Sarah since season 1 of Prison Break and she's my favorite actress. I said how amazing she is because she wasn't allowed to give away any season 3 spoilers so she lied her way through comic con. She even said it herself "I had to lie my way through Comic Con". She had to think fast and lie every time someone asked her about Lori's death and I really appreciate her ability to think so fast.

[@deetress2382]

+Edward Carnby yeah I'm sure. And Thanks for apologizing

[@edwardcarnby9134]

+nothing I'm sure you can tell I came to this video for Sarah, though Lucy Lawless was great in Spartacus

[@materialgrl47]

Kristin (aka PAM WHO IS AWESOME) and Anna (WHO IS A BAMF) is why I am here

[@claraj1968]

Oh thank you, this was very well done, makes one feel like they were there too! And yes Anna was so cute, love Lucy too, and I now love Sarah more sense watching this, I didn't know much about her before The Walking Dead, other then when she was on Prison Break! I liked all of them one the panel, like how they acted and all, even though I haven't watched SmallVille or True Blood , I liked them anyway! But I have seen Twilight, though Nikki wasn't a favorite, K.Stewart is,lol! still like her too!

[@batelyaish]

Thank you! Didn't like the moderator so much...

[@creative_expansion6726]

annoying she doesn't specify which kristen she addresses lol so nobody knows who she's asking really

[@snowkid919]

Where the hell is Maggie Q?? She and Nikita are the definition of badass.

[@FloretParaplue]

Anna

[@pwpg06]

WOW Lucy was the only one that did something that matters.. wow

[@leila_andjay_plays7601]

lucy Ur the Best. ..Lov ya

[@araceliduchovny]

Lucy is badass! She's the best.

[@LeRazereii]

Lucy Lawless = awesome

[@fireflame62]

lucy is the original badass go ''ZENA''

[@RightNowIsGirlsGen9]

emilia clarke?? why no?? bahhoh well still great love lucy and my lovely lori grimes

[@MattSingh1]

Hollywood actresses that get paid pornographically obscene amounts of money for doing very little are good role models? If you want a female role model for women of all ages, try Ayaan Hirsi Ali. It's genuinely disappointing that many in the hall had probably never heard of that name.

[@angellcakes]

Anna!!!!! she's so wonderful, and about the emmy comments about her, 'BADASSES DON'T NEED EMMY'S!' ;)

[@BatMiteDimension]

I'm here for Anna Torv, and was happy to also see Sarah Wayne Callies and Kristen Kreuk. But yeah, Anna Torv is the best.

[@JamieZeleneGlades]

It's really cool how Lucy looks up so much to Sigourney Weaver for her portrayal of Ripley, and how she in turn has many fans who look up to her for her portrayal of Xena. I sincerely hope Lucy knows how much precedence she set for strong female characters and female-centric plots in television - Xena was one of the few kick-ass powerful female onscreen during that time. It was after Xena that many other such characters and plots arose, and that is one of the reasons why Lucy is so iconic in television history.

[@chocolateyeahyeah]

Anna is adorable and I like her SO much（≧∇≦）

[@5chocolatedragon]

Lucy Lawless AND Anna Torv? Yeah! It would've been nice to see at least one woman of colour, but a great cast!

[@MCG19]

Anna Torv is so beautiful

[@BabiiMF]

Anna Torv ^^

[@indigofivealpha4546]

Anna Torv is absolute perfection.

[@RocknCorruptrepublic]

Anna watches TED Talks! :O

[@nataliewood3095]

Anna Torv :DDDDDDDD

[@maxeenah]

Omg! Lucy Lawless is so amazing! She is really funny too!! Haha!! Love her so much! :) Thank-you very much for posting :)

[@whatarebel11]

HOLY CRAP ANNA YOU'RE AMAZING TALKING ABOUT WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND ISSUES AND TED TALKS AH

[@claraj1968]

Yeah also want to say this was better then last years choices, Anna was the only one I cared to see last year! I wonder if they will ask Anna again next year, just because Fringe is ending is no reason for them not to have her, or for the Fringe cast not to maybe come there themselves for the fans, like the Stargate SG 1 cast does. I don't mean every year but at least next year and then after a couple years they can get together there again, it would be cool!

[@fireflame62]

KREUK ,REED AND TROV i'm in ''HEAVEN''

[@Batb4SecondSeason]

I just love ms Kristin Kreuk - she has some great perspectives on life and women. I Like the fact that she stays true to herself and her own beliefs, instead of just doing as the public wants. To me that is a great rolemodel, for girls and Young women groning up.

[@pwpg06]

you forgot to mention Lucy Lawless in your description, worldoflanalang

[@lonesomegrimes8771]

Sarah 😍

[@marco.livio.travels]

i love u lucy

[@zimozabbo]

kristin bauer

[@WordsDarkerThanTheirWings]

Where's Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) oh, and Lucy Lawless is one of the most bad-ass actresses out there! I mean, she got arrested and she doesn't care what happens!

[@mynar_lenahan]

I'm sorry for pointing this out, but I mean, there are no POC's in this panel. Is that a bit weird?

[@worldoflanalang]

Thank you for all of your AWESOME comments!!! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@Observette]

Thanks for posting! This is the best quality yet. Really appreciate it :-)

[@LuciaAntares]

Lucy could kick everybody in the panel ass.. she's awesome!

[@CosmicCitiZenOfficial]

I am the only Male here 😁😅

[@OG_reket]

thanks for this! I've been looking everywhereeeeee for this

[@trublood117]

omg... amanda tapping should have been here :(

[@yancini]

lucy lawless is like the epitome of badassery

[@jameshunter7600]

Kristin Kreuk is just pure prettiness

[@sagehawk12]

Lucy is so funny!

[@edenclementine]
