No offense to the creators behind them, but they are really way too similar these days, which something I can't really say that about the likes of Belle, Mulan and even Jasmine. <br /> <br />Plus not gonna lie, that kind of personality can easily be messed up that it ends up being super annoying. I'm aware that I'm older now and that probably plays in that, but idk, at the same time I still find similar characters like these that I still enjoy to bits because they have way way more than just that and not their main trait overall. <br /> <br />I think Disney should stop trying to make their heroines as relatable as possible, and just make them their own characters with their own quircks and personalities. It may not work out all the time, but least they would be more memorable and different from each other.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Meesh</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2023 7:40 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I just watched a video about this! <br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF0A-tP5f-w" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF0A-tP5f-w</a> <br /> <br />I try not to be a "back in my day _____ was so much better" but the repetition is getting pretty old.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>AladdinsGenie</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat Oct 28, 2023 7:18 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Adorkable Princess Trend</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"><a href="https://insidethemagic.net/2023/10/disneys-adorkable-princess-problem-continues-with-wish-jnw1mmb/" target="_blank">https://insidethemagic.net/2023/10/disneys-adorkable-princess-problem-continues-with-wish-jnw1mmb/</a> <br /> <br />Interesting article that points out the repetitiveness of Disney's heroines in the last decade or so. <br /> <br />It's interesting because I remember the 2-D princesses and heroines being broken down into two groups for being "too boring and reserved" or "too feminist and fiesty". So Rapunzel was considered something new because she was the middle ground to both groups with a dash of social awkwardness tossed in (rightfully so, she's been locked in a tower for 18 years with only a chameleon and one other person to speak to). <br /> <br />But now all of the heroines after her are such obvious attempts at being #relatable in the way that Rapunzel was that I find them rather unforgettable in the end even if their movies go on to be big successes. Maybe it's because I'm not the intended audience? But that didn't stop me from liking characters that were made "before my time" which had a specific audience it was targeting. I can tell you the difference between Cinderella and Snow White, but I can't tell you the difference between Anna and Rapunzel if you paid me <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
