Damsel Does What Disney Couldn't

I don't want to write about films or shows often because I'm not big on them. I also worried I might spill too much info while talking about it. However, I felt this one was too good to be silent about.

The premise is a princess fights a dragon.

Something.... I don't think has been done before. Maybe. Not sure if it's the first but it certainly feels like the first.

I'm going off everything that was from the trailer to avoid spoiling the movie since it just recently came out. Unsurprisingly, they put quite a bit in the trailer. That's the thing to do these days. Jam all the action bits in the trailer and hope the audience stays awake for the slow bits.

However, there's quite a bit of action left over after the trailer. Such as the princess exploring the caves and running from the dragon.

That's right, THE PRINCESS RUNS AWAY FROM THE DRAGON BECAUSE THAT IS THE OBVIOUS AND LOGICAL THING TO DO. Had she just picked up a sword and go head in for a fight, this would have been another Disney "empowered" strong woman sludge.

Thankfully, it's not and the princess uses her intelligence rather than magic deus ex machina and actually struggles while planning her escape from the dragon. Yes, ESCAPE, because that is what any normal person would do. Let's not forget this is a girl who expected to be married to a prince (for political reasons) and was tricked into being a dragon's dinner.

So yeah, Elodie (the princess, I'm done writing 'the princess' so often) manages to get her wedding dress torn up and hides in a cave with a map made by the previous princesses the dragon roasted over the century. Which help Elodie find a path to her escape.

A good chunk of this film is Elodie fumbling around the caves up and down, climbing chasms and running from dragon fire. It sounds like it would be boring but the film does it in a way that makes it all intense and fun to watch.

But after she escapes, OH NO, her sister gets set up to be sacrificed! So Elodie jumps back in the dragon's lair to get her sister out. This is where she does fight the dragon but she works with her strengths, which is her intelligence and strategizing skills. Never thought I'd see a modern movie give a girl a brain instead of a mcguffic to solve her problems.

Elodie is hands down the best female character we've been given in a long time and it's high time we got her. She's not physically strong like a man. She's emotionally and mentally strong, being able to confront terrible monsters, forgive bad decisions or mistakes, and having the courage to save her sister. THIS is what people have been begging for in female characters for years!

Hopefully, this is the start of better female character and not a jump into more stories of women fighting giant monsters ignoring the entire moral behind the story.

There's a megaton of stuff I left out for the sake of spoilers not being spilled.

The point I wanted to get across was that Damsel is a really good film that I highly recommend ... if you have Netflix already. Never going to condone purchasing streaming "service" just for a single show or film. I demand variety with that kind of thing!

If I had a nickel for every feminist movie that subverted a fairytale trope that would have been better as a video game, I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but weird it happened twice.

#damsel in distress #Damsel 2024 #millie bobby brown #dragons #fantasy #netflix #the princess #movies #fairytales are better than both movies tbh

"baby Luz was REALLY good at getting out of the castle - how??" Going to submit that she used the tiny secret passageways Kikimora definitely has. Luz never actually put together that those child-sized tunnels belonged to her, and meanwhile in the present Kiki is having paranoia spirals that THE EMPRESS KNOWS ABOUT ALL MY SECRET ESCAPE ROUTES AND SHE MUST KNOW THAT I KNOW BECAUSE SHE USED TO LEAVE STUFFED TOYS IN THERE FOR ME TO FIND, OF ALL THINGS, WHAT SICK GAME IS SHE PLAYING

DELIGHTFUL. it's entirely possible luz left stuffed animals in there by accident for ADHD reasons, or she left them in there to come back to later, but i'm also like. Wildly Fond of the mental image of her just.... being a very sweet babby. who DID clock that the tunnels were kikimora's. pint-sized kindergartener luz finds a bunch of the passageways bc she sees kikimora come out of them (cackling and rubbing her hands together maniacally, as she does) and she's like "hmm.... kiki seems so sad and mad all the time..... maybe a visit from Mr. Slithers will help :)" mister slithers is, of course, some kind of terrifying wild-eyed toothful snorse puppet thing that luz got from Who-Fucking-Knows-Where. & thinks is The Best.

kikimora is convinced it was a premeditated threat from a sadistic mastermind.

#i like to think that despite her canon antics... even kiki knew luz was Off Limits in terms of Assassination Shenanigans #given how belos is about her. belos acts in ways about luz in this AU that he never did about canon hunter. cue skin crawling #she did however gleefully try to kill hunter just as many times as she did in canon. #hunter considers it like a handshake. luz however is thoroughly unimpressed and mildly distressed by it. #replies #toh #kikimora toh #princess luz au

Gaelen Foley's Princess (which if it doesn't fuck up in the end is gonna be a favorite lol) update:

I think that Ran and Shinichi are Soulmates but Shinichi taking all the decisions and not sharing his secret with Ran makes me soo mad/sad

I want them to be a Team, damn, I love that Ran is a unstoppable force while Shinichi is the master mind

And a bit unrelated (but not really)

this song, the desire to protect and shield another person, I like to think those are Ran feelings (only if Shinichi let her)

And now in a truly unrelated (but not really) note, in scissor seven there is a character that is a bodyguard, and use a really cute metaphor with a umbrella, *a bodyguard is like a umbrella, you don’t think about it, but when it rains, then is when you realize you need it... and now I'm yours*

THAT'S SO SMOOTH, I WANT RAN TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO SHINICHI

I really really want those two to be a cool team, damn, I'm almost sure if Ran was with Shinichi in the first chapter while spying the men in black, the Conan issue wouldn't be a issue, Ran is so damn capable at close combat and Shinichi is so dumb to *ignore it* when he knows the destructive power she holds.

I wish Ran was told the truth in early chapters (in special the chapters she deduces the truth) yeah, she would be angry, but she could help Shinichi so much...

Urg...

idk, I just have so many feelings about them, Ran deserve better.

#Ran mouri #Dcmk #kudo shinichi #shinichi kudo #I ship so many things #Kaishin forever #But Shinichi and Ran have this potential and Gosho is dumb #Stop trying to put Ran in the rol of a princess in distress #That's Shinichi role
