I’ve seen some thoughts about this trailer - one that stood out was this,
This looks like such a generic ‘girl rejects her feminine side in favor of acting tomboyish’ with the underlying message that feminine = weak. I hope I’m wrong.
I’m just… so sick of these films. Especially since a lot people consider them to be empowering for young girls and they really, really aren’t.
From here. I think
Spidermanthe commenter has an interesting point. There’s nothing wrong with being feminine if that’s what you get a kick out of - and being so doesn’t mean you’re dumb, or pandering to steryotypes. The best example I’ve seen is Sansa Stark.I’m hoping this movie will be more about picking your own destiny (Well, the tagline is “Change your fate”) than sticking it to the man and his hierarchy of stereotypes.
Oh, and how much do you want to bet that all of her official merchandise will be in this “cursed” dress?
Sorry to all feminists, but IDGAF if women are viewed as weak or whatever in these movies.
I could only hope to be as awesome at archery as this character is.
SHE SHOOTS THREE TARGETS WHILE MOVING AND WITH ALL THAT HAIR IN THE WAY.
Badass.
