First watch <i>Looper<\/i>, in which Emily Blunt&#8217;s character has a smaller but still pivotal role; then watch <i>Edge of Tomorrow<\/i>, where she gets to play a motherfucking badass. Seriously: even though it&#8217;s William Cage&#8217;s story, Rita Vrataski is the hero. (Yes, hero. Not &#8220;heroine.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.infoplease.com\/encyclopedia\/entertainment\/hero-greek-mythology.html\">HERO<\/a>. The myth leaves something to be desired&mdash;as does <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cliffsnotes.com\/literature\/m\/much-ado-about-nothing\/character-analysis\/hero\">Shakespeare&#8217;s homage<\/a>&mdash;but &#8220;Hero&#8221; is a woman&#8217;s name.
