@EvilVillianInc Because races are based on geographic conditions, and in a world where travel is difficult, long and dangerous, they barely mix at all. In order to have a racially diverse society, you have to not only bring in migrants, but keep them completely sexually isolated from one another as well as the native population. Ancient Rome was, by the standards of its time, racially diverse, but over the centuries it all just mixed together into what we now know as “Italian.”

it’s the fact that the strong female dragon literally killed Elodie’s father right in front of her by compressing his chest with its claw and puncturing his heart, and after Elodie realizes that the dragon lost its babies several centuries ago, she forgives the dragon for murdering her father in front of her, kidnapping her sister, and slaughtering those dozens of innocent women before her, including the young girl on the balcony. #gaslightgatekeepgirlboss #shedontneednoman #bcthedragonwasfemaleeveeythingwasjustified

In the movie, Elodies family was from a very poor kingdom so it can be presumed they take advantage of poor royals or nobility. Also, there's a scene where the father talks to the queen and walks out looking grim. So from that we can conclude the queen told him that they would sacrifice his daughter and in return, he would be paid in tons of gold. Also, the weddings are held in secret.

The sad thing is the classic tale of a brave knight saving the princess from a dragon is of romance not vanity. It expresses how far a man will go for a woman he cares for. No sane man would go fight a 50 foot fire breathing lizard that could eat him alive, its terrifying! But thats what men do for the women they love; They fight, they endure, and if necessary, they die for the women they love. It's very sad that all this unwarranted hatred of men has done its utmost to not only smother the things that might make us as men feel proud and inspired, but it has also coldly rejected and misunderstood how we express our love through our strength and actions.

I must admit, I did enjoy parts of the ragged, desperate struggle for survival in the cavern sequence, but it was trying too hard to remind us that she's incredibly determined, she's stronger than she can possibly imagine, she's a survivor in *every single frame* to the point of parody. And the dragon's breath weapon damaging it? That was the real deal-breaker for me, there. Nice production values though and I didn't entirely dislike her. There was potential here.

Power fantasy. Be be like men, men they think go in and colonize, enslave, rape, and slaughter to the max. That's what men do! It is funny, when they take a woman and maker her masculine in order for her to be powerful (implies you can't have feminine power with equal output) they always put the traits they themselves call "toxic masculinity" when worn by a man. I mean every strong female lead copies the mansplaining thing. Or they do something right and look at the man who said nothing and say "ha, I can do it all by myself, didn't think a woman could do that huh big boy?!" Guys like huh? what i do! "Its what you didnt do!"

And she agreed because she's nobility and knows that she's to be wed to other nobility *and* it'd save her people from starvation. She makes the right choice.

They cannot write a character that is believable, that exists in their respective world.

I usually agree, but as a standalone story this was fun.

The dragon had a fair grievance, and she gave them a (brief) choice to run. So it was fair enough for movie logic. And i enjoyed the play on the Dragonslayer plot-but that was a darker and smarter movie- and ILM’s vermithrax perjorative fighting sir ralph richardson is hard to beat.

In European fairy tales (in books), it often happens, that the kingdom is tormented by a dragon. And for people to survive: in a certain time interval, young maiden is sacrifice to him. The hero of the story is coming, when the princes is sent to the dragon. ... So this sacrifice part of the movie is most like a fairy tale. By the way, there are several low budget, old movies (in Europe), in which the female lead makes frends whit a dragon. And there is this movie: On drakon - The dragon ( in some countries: The Dragon Bride) made in 2015, Russian film. The princess is kidnappet by a dragon. Then she finds herself on a strange island. And there is a mysterious man who has a secret (when he is angry, he turns into a dragon). Its a romantic movie (Blue lagoon and twilight together, but insted of a vampire, hes a dragon man). Has some epic moments there.

As a female fantasy writer, I have this to say, "Thanks 'Damsel! Thanks for cementing the idea that we women really can't write mature, good fantasy." If this was done properly, then the stakes would be higher and the question that we would be seeking to answer is whether other solutions weren't sought... like Dragonslayer. In fact this is a lot like a low rent Dragonslayer film. In Dragonslayer, there was also a conspiracy and it was better. And why do they have to marry the woman? I would have just kidnapped her. Much easier. I also like how Dragonslayer the Dragon wasn't a victim. It was a force of nature that presented a true threat. And there was a conspiracy too, but it was far more believable: if you were rich, your daughter wasn't put in the lottery. In fact, just go watch Dragonslayer. Do they really think men will watch this and rethink how he views women? Or women will watch this and be "inspired?" Maybe all the 20 something drunk girls. The rest of us don't care. We'd rather throw one of our cats at the neighborhood kids and scream "get off my lawn!"

Na, not true. Stepdads and stepmoms are supposed to be wicked - a much older and more archetypal trope than the girl boss one, though one that will at least resonate with some of the audience because some were the children of broken marriages. You definitely can't have a wicked person of colour unless the heroine is also of colour.
@user-ym4xy6us5e

@@kenoliver8913The modern movie makers consider it verboten to associate wickedness with anyone rating greater than zero on their intersectional hierarchy. Case in point: BBC: The wheelchair-bound Davros, the ultimate villain in Dr. Who, model of the Daleks, suddenly grew legs in the most recent revival. On the new BBC Three companion series Doctor Who: Unleashed, the producer Mr. Davies said: "We had long conversations about bringing Davros back, because he's a fantastic character, [but] time and society and culture and taste has moved on. "And there's a problem with the Davros of old in that he's a wheelchair user, who is evil. And I had problems with that. And a lot of us on the production team had problems with that, of associating disability with evil.” The wokesters of modern cinema have unilaterally decided that wheelchair users are incapable of evil. I've got news for them. I know a deaf guy who is a complete asshole. How about a bit of truth in cinema? Maybe it should reflect reality rather than ideology. I am beyond exhausted with ideologically-biased productions. Show me a film as raw and true as Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" and I'll buy a ticket to that movie. Offer me a film suited for "modern audiences" and I'll drop it like a hot potato.

If you want a better medieval “Girlboss” live action movie with a dragon watch “I am dragon”. It’s not the best movie in existence by any stretch of imagination and the English dub is atrocious, but at least you get a nice medieval story that subverts the “Princess gets kidnapped by a dragon and rescued by a prince” trope. While the girl in the movie cannot overpower a dragon, she is capable of showing her strength by empathy, and is capable of making her own choices despite what her parents and the dragon itself told her. Without any kind of BS “sudden sword fighting skills”. Also she has a personality (wow really). To summarise, it’s an improved Twilight but instead of vampires you have a dragon, no annoying love triangle, and plenty of consent for once. In fact the main theme of the movie is breaking the cycle of abuse (that the dragon goes through), self-improvement and character growth.

Yep, and even when she did defeat the Witch-King, it still matched with the theme overall: that even the smallest/least important person can make a difference. That's why Merry helped Eowyn defeat the Witch King; why Frodo took the ring to Mt. Doom when greater heroes failed; why Pippin was the one who stood up to Denethor and saved Faramir, and why ultimately Sam was the only ring-bearer able to resist it's temptation and remained faithful to his master until the end. Every "lowly" character in the story had a critically important role in ways that made sense.
