    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.

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.”

    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.

    My favorite part was how, in the beginning of the film, Brown was struggling to swing the axe to chop wood. Fast forward a bit, and she's using her massive upper body strength to vertically climb a rope without using her legs for a 100 foot plus distance.

    My favorite part was how her plan only worked by sheer luck. She was lucky there was a map. Lucky there were magic slugs. And most of all lucky, that she after skillfully dodging a fire blast that normally had a wider hit box . . . it turns out that the dragon is not immune to fire . . . and burns itself? I think this is the first time I saw a dragon that was not externally immune to fire damage. Hilarious . . .

For instance; even in that shrek world, dragon lost it's flammable spit after a few barfs, but this one seems to have it in her enough for some good oil rafinery. Moreover, her own flame seems to hurt her from the outside, but have no problem having flaming hot throat.

    Late to the party but when I first saw Brown in Stranger Things I thought she had the potential to become a great actress. Instead, the projects she ends up in make me see her as this upcoming generation's Emma Watson; playing the same strong, smart, "badass" woman trope over and over. Unless I am missing lesser known films, every role she does feels the same.

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!

And if they do make their own IP, they still want to insert their OC into it. And that OC is just their own personality, but more schizo. They cannot write a character that is believable, that exists in their respective world.

Come on, people, you can't take any of this at face value. The fact is, this isn't the first or last time a crappy fantasy movie has been made, whether it stars a woman or not. Just look at all the male-led fantasy garbage from the mid-2000s. You can't even take this culture war bait seriously anymore. He complains about the blood in a magical way in a fantasy movie while completely forgetting there's a freaking magical dragon in the movie. And this the same guy who agreeed that not every movie is made for everyone, this movie is clearly appealing to a women audiance.

Sometimes films are just bad, and bad films sometimes have elements in common, one such being the trope of girlboss, another being the damsel in distress. I personally don't care about this one, as long as they stop touching existing and beloved IPs. If this film is catering to women and women like it, so be it.

    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.

    I suggest watching the 1981 movie, "Dragonslayer", which has similar plot and was done much better and has ZERO of "the message" crammed into it. In case you haven't seen Dragonslayer, its the same set up...a medieval king makes a pact with a dragon to spare his kingdom but requires regular sacrifices of the female persuasion to appease the dragon. And the dragon is female too. But the townsfolk hire a magician's apprentice to slay the dragon, who is way over his head, because the plebs are tired of sacrificing their daughters for the king. Its got a great cast of actors, some you might recognize, and the effects (using practical effects & stop motion) just might surprise you. Its well worth a look-see & I highly recommend it. Also, parts of it were filmed in Scotland.

    "Dragonslayer" but "updated for modern audiences" (i.e. turned to crap) is the first thing I thought of as I listened the Drinker's review. In 1981, Dragonslayer had "strong female characters" such as Caitlin Clark's "Valerian" and even the Princess. The Woke's delusional beliefs that they introduced "strong, independent female characters" and "diversity" to films is one of the more eyerolling things about them.

    Honestly i enjoyed the movie quite a bit. The story worked for the environment the movie is cast in, the characters acted consistently and the costum department actually did a great job

    The dragon setting the sky a light is more believable that any of the female characters in this film.
