Damsel Review - Girl Bossing Too Close To the Sun

- Damsel Review of Millie Bobby Brown's Dragon Fantasy on Netflix. Normal Fairy tales are about romance and marriage with heroes saving the day. Damsel is a very different story on Netflix, with no damsel in distress messaging. While critics reviews panned the trailer and movie we find out that heroes and chivalry exist for a reason. And Damsel removes all of them. Is Damsel worth watching?

Damsel Review of Netflix's subversive fairy tale where it's ever so proud that chivalry exists in other stories to save the damsel, but not this one! It's the most obvious movie around where you can predict all the bad guys just by looking at the actors. The sisterhood is strong and literally every man gets wiped out by the end. If you want a character that could take on Rey Skywalker in a fight, you've got one here, where the Damsel can magically do any action required to win. No experience necessary here, but for a movie meant to undermine tropes, it's one long cliche. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Need a shirt that says Girl-Boss-ton 😂

@@wowado Brilliant!!! 👏 👏 👏 🤣🤣🤣
The most annoying thing about this film is that it’s not as though there isn’t potential in this story and trope subversion. Humanising the villain (the dragon) and communicating with it instead of just killing it because a female character might have a different approach than a man isn’t a terrible idea. Teaming up with it to get revenge at the end? Also, not bad. Her predilection to maps and mazes could have paid off by her charting the dungeon as she explores it. I’d say it’s a waste but this project was doomed from the start with these writers.
My 13yo daughter had a bday party sleepover at a friend's place over the weekend with a few friends and they watched this. When she got home she mentioned it so i asked her what they thought about it. Her words "We were rooting for the dragon"
Smart girl.
r/thathappened
@@danielclark-hughes692people like you must think that every human being floats through life never doing or saying anything, seeing as you’ll react to the most mundane of slightly comedic situations with “OH, 🙄 YEA, 🥴 sure, PAL 🤪 because people TOTALLY 🤯 act like people irl 🤓” the inability to believe anything doesn’t make you anywhere near smart
@@danielclark-hughes692Oh my god you got so triggered 😂
Your daughter and her friends showed some dragon balls... LOL!
Honestly, the concept of a princess who was supposed to marry a prince only to be sacrficed isn't a bad idea. It was just executed so poorly.
very mcuh so. her trying to find a way out makes sense. erfusing to accept her fate.
but then you have the asinine thing like letting her father die when he litreally came to save her. And her somehow overpowering the dragon that crushed armies.... and said dragon being vulnerable to her own fire....
It isn't sooo bad an idea that the dragon isn't inherently malevolent, its spite towards the family that killed her children vs anything else. though it killing the peeps and her father is a plot hole cause she shoulda been like 'why are you here. you do not smell like them.'
It was already a thing in greek mythology. It should have worked.
I liked the idea of the princess befriending the dragon, but again, bad execution.
@@taddad2641 Not inherently malevolent? She's been killing innocent women for, what was it, centuries, three times a year? (Like holy fuck, do the dragon think humans are rabbits or something; where do you get three adult daughters every bloody year, from?) And I'm not talking about trick the family played; even if they had sacrificed actual members of the family; those girls would have had nothing to do with what the king did; even punishing the king by killing those daughters (still evil, mind you) has been dead for centuries, you can't punish him anymore; so it's been killing the innocent regardless of the trick.
@@3dmaster205i thought it was three daughters per generation, idk they couldve said per year tbh i wasnt watching that closely
Could I just point out that in an attempt to break the Damsel in Distress trope, they actually created a Damsel in Destress.
The Sister.
And yet... The sister was more interesting character
XD
But she wasn't saved by a man god forbbid no, she was saved by a woman
HAHAHAHA
@@mariazedek1157 And the movie passes the Bechdel test, too!
They could have made it so a man is the damsel in distress, but nooooo they couldn't even stand that, all the men had to *DIE*
I knew the "dragon" would survive as soon as I realized it had a female voice.
Yup, and I've imagined the nowadays style ending and I was right.
They all look pretty well fed for coming from a "starving" kingdom...
Lembas bread.
@@carig121 LOL!
Just because the peasants are starving doesn't mean the royalty is starving
Now remember the Hunger Games ... ahaha
And full of sass! You go girl!
This movie was made just so Disparu could review it. Change my mind.
🤔....nope!
Agreed, thankfully
I'd try but I've got nothing to disprove your point. So it must be true!
That sounds legit.
I only watched the movie so I could watch the review
So not only did she not forgive her father, she literally chose not to attempt to save his life with magical slugs. Considering they were powerful enough to heal the dragon's eye after getting a sword through it, it's hard to imagine not at least trying it.
yea that is pretty bullshit on her part, especially when its clear he came to rescue her.
And then she invites the Dragon who killed her father - slowly and painfully - to live with them? Dinners will be awkward...
Solid point. Not only that, she discovers a miracle of medicine in medieval times. Does she take them back to her kingdom, maybe tell the world of the basically magic healing slugs she's found? Naah, 's good. Just leave them with the dead and dying under the incinerated pile of rubble. Man, this movie gets worse the more thought you put into it, doesn't it?
Facts! I forgot about that! What a _____. So all the men get what they've "got coming". 😂
When Damsel got the sword and yelled at the dragon: "It's damselin' time!!!", man, I really felt that
Elo didn't get the di though
Truly a movie of all time.
I was honestly expecting her to say "I am all the princesses!!".
Dragon's only weakness is 5'3" teenage girl
Who knew?
Considering they always seem to want one as a sacrifice, I guess we ALL should have known.
Idea for a movie: Dragon in Kingdom demands his usual sacrifice of young womam every year. The classic. Dragon is indeed strong and nobody can touch him. They tried for years.
Plan to train up young girls into assassins as only they get close enough as sacrifice. Trained from 6 years old into some murderous killing machines. Movie follows the one that seems the one with the most potential. Done.
All the empowerment. Enough logic to be at least feasable.
If she could pull off a spell like "dragu-slave/dragon-slave", sure than it would make sense.
With a sword even, not sure what that's going to do besides tickle it.
@@2nd_DirectorateAnd how are you going to kill a dragon without some serious hardware that you can't actually hide? You can't exactly smuggle a barrel of gun powder up your snatch. You'd need some siege equipment or some hefty magic if we're going full fantasy. You just added more girl bosses to the mix.
Fiona in Shrek is a Damsel in Distress subversion done right!
Yeah, but you have to remember that they tried to write a good entertaining funny movie back then. And succeeded, but still, today they don't even try that anymore.
@@Rakshiir yeah you’re right. Disparu would be outta work if they still made good stuff.
@@geethanx2000they do still make good stuff 🙄. I hate this crappy“nothing is good anymore” attitude.
@@Rakshiirthey certainly do. You people just obviously don't watch movies very often or don't care to look.
@@Las645Examples please.
I have to give it to them. When a dragon that isn't immune to fire isn't the dumbest thing in your movie, you're definitely going places.
Is your skin, the parts you can touch, immune to gastric acid? No, well then... I guess you the human is a plot hole as well.
@@Lobos222 Dragons don't digest things they eat with the help of fire, or rather they don't have fire in their stomachs to digest things with. I understand your point that yes the juices inside me can hurt my outside but also I can't really die from an acid burn because of my own puke.
The point I'm trying to make is that in almost all fantasy, dragons are immune or at the very least, very resistant to fire. It's really really dumb to kill a dragon with it's own fire unless you tell the audience in a clever way why the dragons can be hurt by their own fire (magic maybe)
@@spongerobert So, i'm no fantasy dragon expert lol but I think it depends how the fire is created. Like there are some dragons that have gas come up their throat and then it ignites in their mouth or near it and they're usually not invulnerable to fire. In fact, it's an effective way to kill it. This dragon's fire seemed liquidy and heavy. If it's liquidy it'll stay on longer. It won't just brush off the scales which works if the fire can't penetrate the dragon scales when quickly brushing across it. Heavy liquid at that temp will probably do some damage.
@@thitpoulsen352 In DnD dragons don't always use fire but whatever they use they're always almost immune to their own damage. In some fantasy stories it's said that if you were to force it's fire breath back down it's own throat it would explode or like in Reign of Fire they killed the dragon with explosive tipped bolts fired down it's throat.
The long and short of it is that if it wasn't resistant to it's own breath it would literally hurt itself all the time while doing dragon stuff especially in the case where it uses sticky napalm because it's bound to splash back.
@@spongerobert I suppose that makes sense. I have no idea what the rules are for DnD dragons, just movies i've previously watched.
So, apparently none of the dozens of princesses that were sacrificed in this pit never told Avasarala that they are not the real deal? And the dragon was never suspicious why the royal family seem to switch races and apperances so drasdtically every generation?
to a dragon, they might not realize humans have different races, that is something humans spot cause we see humans so often. Humans arent used to seeing chimp faces, google different chimps and lined up they all look different, but in the wild we could easily mistake them too. every animal is used to their own kind like this, fun fact
@@Phoe8D Fair enough. But the other point still stands. Lots of sacrificed pirecesses have stayed for quite some time in this caves and the dragon comminicates with them on a rergular basis as it seems. And quite a lot of them have found the safe room, they could draw a map of the caves and put down their names etc.. So at least some of them should have tried to tell the dragon that they were betrayed by the royal family themselves. Even if the dragon dont believe them at first - at least i would become suspicious at one point if the princesses keep telling the same story.
I’m so tired of the “ rebellious princess doesn’t want to marry for political convenience” trope. In medieval times (and even later through to the 19th century), princes and princesses knew that marrying for political reasons was their primary role. They would have been taught to know and accept that duty as a given from a young age, and refusing to marry who your parents told you could cause strife, wars, and hardships for the people they were supposed to rule.
There are families of narcos that shape alliances through marriage and so. Where there is power there is the desire to maintain it and if possible to increase it.
Moreover, _everyone_ back then did arranged marriages for sake of profit (whether political or economical). It's only recently that humanity got so much better off that they no longer need to use their own children to bargain for resources needed for survival…
Actually, she was willing to marry the prince for her people. That's not an issue in this movie. The prince betrays her after they get married.
@tomriddle164 after telling her sister it's wrong, complaining to her mother, and grilling her soon to be with multiple condescending questions right after admitting she got guilt tripped into it. The original comment is about how they are taught to accept it as their duty for a lifetime of lavishment
The trope is not only done, it's fucking retarded. Princess dosn't want to marry for political convenience? The fuck is she gonna do? It's the fucking Middle Ages! The only social security she can have is by building a family with strong ties and have family members with lots of wealth. Even as a noble woman she will have to manage her estate and the moment she gets old and dosn't have people to protect her, it will be taken from her, because it's the fucking Middle Ages and people are in survival mode. What is she gonna do when another Nobel starts a fight with her over some trivial bullshit to extort her and she dosn't have men to fight for her? Hire some Mercenaries? And who will protect her from the Mercenaries looting her Estate and raping her?
So, Eleven feels sympathy for burning bats. She apologizes to glow worms. But, she mercilessly sacrifices a horse to the dragon.
lol...true
they were birds, not bats
@@w1975b cave birds?
@@floresf8727 yes. bats don't have beaks
@@w1975b or, the bats face looked weird after being burned.
Pffft!! Cave birds over here☝🏽
I like how the movie gaslights us into believing the old king was evil and killed the dragon's for sport. If they'd revealed that the dragon was peaceful and wanted nothing to do with humans, then I could buy the king being evil. But the dragon chases and tortures our heroine so I have a hard time believing that it wasn't killing and eating people before the king decided to do something.
Y'd think the King would mention "I am not THIS country's king, and this is my daughter, not the local king's who is actually lying to you". But the plot demands we save this revelation to the end for the princess to tell to the Dragon, so... this is left out. Also, why did none of his knights bring shields against a FIRE breathing Dragon? What was really his plan?
Yeah, so many basic logic plot holes
I'm also interested in the lack of bows and/ or spears... a sword would be my last choice of weapon when I know I'm going to be fighting a dragon.
@@BullDogBreed75 A sword would be my last choice of weapon when I know I'm going to be fighting anyone. Every army used some form of long pointy stick as their main infantry weapon until widespread use of firearms. And even then they had pointy sticks attached to their firearms.
My son at one point said "so she beat the game, then starts over, just to do side missions at full power". Never. Been. Prouder.
She was running in God Mode with cheat codes
Based! Your son rocks!
@@darktenor4967please 😂
Even the most “based” people still support ghey marriage
I remember when it wasn’t marriage and now hella based people are like “trans activism has gone too far”
“Oh ghey marriage? Yes that’s cool” 😂
I'm a woman that works outside and does manual labor in the hot sun all day. Two things I will always need a man for is chopping wood and digging ditches. If I do it all day I will destroy my back and put myself out of work. None of these women pretending to be badass have ever done manual labor a day in their life.
What if the men available to help you are scrawny?
Nor have they ever been in any kind of fight with a man. Or dealt with non-Western men in any capacity.
Thank you! That's part of the problem. All these "strong women" aren't strong at all. Blue collar work is men's work.
When I was in welding school I was surprised by how many women were in the program, I'd say about 20%
They mostly specialize in TIG welding, where you _almost_ never catch on fire.
I live in Vermont and me and my mom both chop wood! The trick is mostly how you hold the axe, but yes doing it all day would be exhausting and my bf can do that so he definitely has an advantage but women can and do chop wood!
so while running for their lives from a fire breathing dragon every one of these princesses stopped to write their name on the wall?
Not all, just the ones that managed to escape long enough to reach the Safe cave. The sacrificed girl N.1 (Elodie is N.2) for obvious reasons could not write her name
What impressed me is that so many of them survived the fall, bouncing off of the walls of that fairly deep chasm, got up without injuries, and walked over to the death wall to add their names.
We even get to see MBB bouncing and tumbling from rock to boulder to crag before hitting bottom hard without getting so much as a bruise. Whatever plot armor she was wearing, I want for the next comic-con.
After being thrown off a 200 foot cliff, attacked by a dragon, and crawling through a bunch of tiny, cramped tunnels I'm pretty sure I'd be ready to talk to worms too.
If Netflix had a "Watch with Disparu Commentary" option, their movies would get exponentially more views.
I think I'd choose that option all the time
Exponentially what a word!!! And yes so true! Word of the day goes to the guy/girl with the longer name than mine.
I have just one thing to say about that "based economy"
I'd subscribe if that was an option.
that might be a good move actually. Like the arena of old. We make it. You tear it. Go on boys!
What I love is how people in this world are so well-traveled that there are blacks and asians everywhere, BUT zero rumours have spread about how the princes in that kingdom seem to practice polygamy (4 wives each, all married within the same week -- 3 sacrifices plus an additional wife), or how the 3 wives all vanish. Because the people of numerous kingdoms will never apparently notice when their own princess disappears.
Maybe the other kingdoms only send the princesses they _hope_ to never see again. 😂
They don't have Instragram
I think that's the entire plan. You have a princess to obnoxious to deal with. Bring it to dragon kingdom, we solve the problem for you and we even pay you for it. No questions asked.
Yea, and how exactly did the dragon not realize she wasn’t killing the royal family’s own daughters when they sent in members of every ethnic group under the sun? Cmon, if this dragon is intelligent enough to understand English perfectly, _and_ to understand the concept of human-like emotions and actions, she’d surely know that a family of white people doesn’t produce black, brown, and Asian children.
Say!
Are your princesses so awful that everyone wants to trade them in for evil sorceresses?
Well, stop draggin your tail and send them to BintBane Island!
We will send you gold and an ice crusher for your insufferable cow princesses.
Dumb question but... did they take some treasure with them? Because when they get back they still have a dirt poor kingdom that cannot feed its people, have cut down all the trees, and still havent learned how to manage a kingdom in the first place. They are scrood.
They probably took the royal families riches and position.
So...the dragon can smell that.0001% of her blood that is her husband's family, that convinces her that Elodie IS a member of that royal bloodline. Then the dragon meets and (presumably) smells Elodie's father, and can't figure out that Elodie ISN'T part of the royal bloodline...
And unless the Queen is also a member of the royal bloodline (incest anyone), the sister won't smell like the royal bloodline at all.
And then the dragon can smell her, and she is near and cant find her, or that a sound make it think she is far away when her nose tell her is rigth there, there is another girl that examine it and make a detal examine of the dragons eyes, wich are more of a goat than a predator, or animal that hunt but the thing it bothers her, was that if the draogon has those eyes, she should see in panoramic vision nearly 180 degrees, not cone shape, and suddenly Elodie is next to her eye, and the dragon didnt see her, the only reaosn the dragon loose is because they nerf all her ability
The king is not from the 'cursed' family bloodline, therefore it is the queen and her son, who can mark the princesses. This is why the dragon is not bothered by the smell of Elodie's dad's blood and the fact he is not part of the 'cursed' bloodline.
@@Krysnha Exactly. The thing with dragon's smelling ability is not logical. How much of that royal blood could stay on princesses after the ceremony? The wound seems deep, so how come it healed so fast without any protection from a dirt etc.? How come the dragon couldn't notice the wounds on other parts of princesses' bodies does not contain the smell of the royal blood? And as for finding location of the princess using smell sense, the caves are generally occupied by the dragon and bugs. Any new smell should stand out as hell.
@@allespomidores2845 indeed, also there was a video of another youtuber that talk about the eyes of the dragon, about the dragons eyes are more of a herbivore than of apredator, for example the eyes of the draongs are the ones of a goat or a more horizontal, a cat or predator like eagles, are vertical, she talk about the perspective and motive of it, the dragon has horizontal eyes outside what it is predator or prey those eyes will give it 180 paromanic vision, so how Elodie manage to sneak to him, beyond the smell, the moment she even aproach to her from behind she should smell her, not even see her.
The movie grab the dragon and nerf it to no end, also once again point out, how in the f one minute she is sad because of a bird being fry and she has no mercy for a horse, also she never forgive her and has no mercy for the people in the kingdom outside the royal family, nor she doesnt care her own kingdom, she is a fking btch not a heroine
Technically Captain Marvel is the biggest girl boss to have girl bossed too close to the sun. She literally flew into a sun to demand it do better!
You are right, even Damsel isn't so overpowered that the villain couldn't possibly win and Captain Marvel does that in both movies.
But Damsel is succeeding in being more annoying which is impressive, she is Rachel Zegler level of annoying.
Captain Marvel is so wooden that her personality can't be annoying, because she doesn't have one.
Ima let you finish, but beyonce had the best album of all time
@@reallybig4868except for that "country song" she recently put out, that was absolute garbage!
"You've got to step up sun! You've got to do better!" 😂
Her so-called princess voice in this move was SOO CRINGE>
I rooted for the dragon the whole time; when it was almost killed instead of Damsel, my day was ruined.
The dragon did nothing wrong.
Dragon was dope looking and sounding, ngl. Shame it was wasted on this dreck.
Nah, dude. I wanted to scream when it wasn’t. Yea, the dragon was by far the coolest character, but from a moral perspective, it should’ve been killed. Elodie could’ve stopped the cycle of death right then and there, protecting the lives of the kingdom (like the king intended when he went to kill the fire breathing force of destruction), and saved herself and her sister. The dragon chose to take vengeance for the death of her innocent kids by…killing innocent kids, instead of taking the life of the guy actually responsible for their deaths. _It didn’t matter that the princesses she killed weren’t the actual daughters of the king, because even if they were, they were innocent._ Elodie is a complete, sociopathic jerk. I wanted her _and_ the dragon dead.
The dragon is alive at the end of the movie...
When did the dragon die?
So she...took the horse her wounded stepmother road and left her wounded stepmother in the middle of rugged wilderness...Wait, did she LEAVE her stepmother and sister entirely? Because that'd be as believable as Disparu just skipping the parts where they get retrieved.
Now that I think about it, she's probably half dead in that bed of moss at the bottom of the sacrifice pit. Getting eaten by a dragon and all of this is a pain induced hallucination to spare her the reality of being eaten by this flying lizard.
To rephrase the intro: "There have been many well told fantasy stories. This is not one of them..."
Yeah, this is BS story... LOL
“There are many good movies in this world.. This is not one of them” is all I heard a few minutes in
All I ever hear now is "I'm a woman"
Damsel was theater quality! So good I called people to tell them about it. I'm not a fan of dumb girl boss pandering, but this had good story, good acting, and awesome dragons. Granted, the marvels sucks. Damsel did a good story right (even if a bit heavy handed with the brothers grimm tragedy style) , sometimes it's fun to have clear good and evil without shades of grey.
@@matthewbaker320 I think you need glasses if you saw the movie as not having some serious moral grayness if not being unintentionally dark vs dark. The film literally ends with the castle and presumably its inhabitants being reduced to ashes. How many of those people weren’t involved at all?
"...good movies...this is not one of them"...Super good comment!
How high on Crack were you when you watched this? @@matthewbaker320
So I get the Dragoness wants revenge on the kingdom and that's why she tortures and kills princesses, but... what did those poor birds ever do to her? Moreover, why were these birds nesting en masse inside a cave? Did the writer confuse birds and bats?
Poor birds. What did they even do?
3 Royal children were to be sacrificed for the 3 Dragon eggs destroyed....
Did anybody else notice how many names were on that wall? A lot more than 3. Not to mention, how many children do you think the Queen could pop out JUST within her lifetime? Shes not an Ant or Bee Queen.
If you're the Dragon and you're seeing that many sacrifices coming down to you like falling rain drops, at some point, you gotta say, "something isn't right."
-That's no reason to marry.
It's always nice when your medieval themed movie tells you that we don't know (or care) how royalty and politics work in medieval era.
Also, why is there a black stepmother married to the king in a medieval themed movie? Everyone would be like "why has our king married this outsider?" She doesn't have an accent like they are trying to imply she was born there, where the frick does she come from? Why is no one questioning this like this is normal? In these kinds of shows, having pointy ears will get you eyed down and yet she looks this different from everyone else and clearly doesn't fit in and everyone accepts it?
Wow, the medieval ages was truly an accepting and diverse period in time across Europe, I had no clue.
@@pbradics3670 To be fair, I commented that in the beginning of me watching the video but the point stands.
Bad special effects aside, that race baiting move immediately takes you out of whatever could possibly happen because your brain is already noticing something off. Those black people shouldn't be there, this is medieval Europe essentially, they shouldn't be there, let alone married to a king.
I don't really care to be honest, but those historical inaccuracies mean a LOT when you are making a historical show. I can't get in the idea of watching a historical movie when I'm staring at modern day on screen.
Now, like then, many women marry for money.......sorry, I mean, "security."
If you knew something about the middle ages, you'd know that people were sometimes not happy about being stuck in arranged marriages, hence why romances of courtly love (adultery) were around
You can leave out 'in medieval era'. It's still a thing.
There is no “girlbossing too close to the sun”. They should keep girlbossing themselves all the way into its chromosphere.
Pretty soon we will be girlbossing throughout the cosmos until we encounter a cosmic horror who strikes us down for our hubris like Icarus.

She doesnt care
Knights weren't able to descend on a rope but they were great at falling down the stairs of castles so good in fact that the stairs were made appositely for it since a falling knight in full armor made a really dangerous blunt weapon
That is so hilarious it should have happened.
"Disparu, How many times are you gonna show that clip of the Princess being sacrificed?"
Disparu: "Yes."
Disparu: "It's the audience ditching the girl boss and movies to its box office flop deaths."
The prince yeeting her into the chasm = 🤣😂
The yeet was one of the best parts of the movie. After watching the movie, I'm sure more than half the audience wanted to yeet her into the chasm.

He was done with her bullshit too.
Needs to be shown on a loop during credits.
Someone who knows a teensy bit about historical clothing: The "dagger" inserted into her clothes is probably a busk, which was something used to help with posture and bust support, but because it's worn close to the skin it's usually just a flat stick made of wood and absolutely cannot be sharp.
also, if the dragon's claws can pierce plate armor, how did mbb survive with like 1-2 layers of cloth

wait... at the hour mark, she had been covered in dragon fire, had a hole stabbed in to her upper left chest where her heart and lungs are, but now... nothing?? she only has a burn on her right chest?
Where'd all the damage go? How is she not bleeding all over the place?
she then has the fire-breathing dragon that isn't immune to its own fire breathing somehow, and she doesn't get burned by all of the massive wide AOE splash of the liquid dragon fire!!!!!wait wait.... when damsel faces down the queen, now the burn is on the other side of her chest!!!!! wait.. and now her burn is all healed too??
Mary Sue plot armor
This is worse than Rey being stabbed by a disappearing dagger.
Also, all of the fire-breathing scenes make very little sense. Let's take what occurred in the movie as fact, she was able to dodge basically everything. However, I don't know about you, but being around even small fires the heat that comes off of them can become very uncomfortable very quickly. I would imagine just the sheer volume of fire there would have caused burns on her skin from the radiating heat. So she should at least be extremely sun burnt the entire movie.
@@WWYD0 True enough, but I can give that a pass like how the dragon fire goes out pretty fast, instead of .. keeping on burning like it should.
I also like how she hid from the dragon after she escaped the mountain, while it burned everything around her. But when she comes out, it's all nice, lush, green, and not suffering from a nuclear meltdown.
Mary sue plot armour, like how can the dragon smell only one drop of blood, but when she see her father dont realize, hey these smell different by the way how the dragon can smell a drop of blood in her, but not find her when she is less than a metre of him, worst, when she can smell her know she is near and is distracted by a sound the rother side of the cave, worst, these dragon can smell a drop of blood, how can she not realize wait, the smell, is different, yes blood same but smell in general, how can the dragon not see her arriving her until last minute to put a blade near her eyes, worst how can a dragon not think wait a minute these are all same line of humans, and has comunicate with them, why none of the girls try to expalin the dragon wat is going on, ok she didnt beleive but if more than once tell her that, wouldnt she act suspitious.
The dragon to put blunt, one minute is a force of nature, the other all her abilities reduce so Elody wins

No wonder Hollywood writers are terrified of AI replacing them.
Movie script - AI replaces Hollywood writers... discovers it can use money to buy more CPU's, RAM, and of course electricity... and... that audiences want good stories, and...
Moviegoers and AI lived harmoniously ever after.
Pretty much sounds like the Snow White script, "she's not going to be saved by the prince..."
tyrone gonna fill that gap in logic
Her eye makeup looks amazing considering all she went through. Where can I get that waterproof eyeliner/mascara?
It's probably magical worm juice!
And whatever conditioner she uses, apparently it renders her hair fireproof.
I too, need to know! :D
I’ll be honest, the central concept of princesses getting married only for a sacrifice to a dragon is at least something new.
I love how she effortlessly slides on the floor of the CAVE on her shins before stabbing the dragon like it was nothing. Totes wouldnt hurt, or rip the skin of her shins, or damage her shin bones and would be possible.
I also love how her eye make up remains the same all the way through the film.
Permanently perfect makeup is a super power of girl bosses.
As someone who used to slide like that back in highschool, I will tell you, it's pretty painful. I'm surprised I didn't break my shin bones from doing it a lot, just a rip skin
How many fail videos have we seen on either the beach or snow where someone tries that slidey thing only to stop dead and tumble arse over tit (crude but accurate)? A repeat of that would've been worth watching.
Not to mention her perfectly parted and evenly cut hair. That she maintained in the cave. In the dark. Without a mirror. Or scissors. Or a comb.

Dragons dogma story was pretty crap to be fair
Gameplay was great though imo, let's hope it's not even worse with 2, they already won't allow small characters anymore due to some Woke PC BS and for some reason having a character be 5ft makes it a child and anyone who has a small character or pawn is making loli and is a p3d0
None of this makes sense, just like the movie hahahaha, modern day western companies are cancer
@@noonyabeezniss4911the story is good the presentation of the story however 😮💨
Remember when she chopped wood? That prepared her for everything she had to do in the cave and fighting the dragon. No rope climbing, sword fighting, MacGyvering montage needed. 👍

The dragon is more realistic then a black queen in a medieval setting
Stepmother, and remember it was also her mom who teach anything, the man is there just for the looks
@@alberto5770 she may be a stepmother... but how is that any better?
it's just for "look at us, we're inclusive!"
There were black queens though. Not in Europe, but they existed. Why do you guys act like white countries are the only ones that have ever existed? Not every person of color was poor or a slave, a lot of them had power.
@@jacktheomnithere2127and how do you know its to be inclusive? Why does it matter? It's a world where dragons and magic exists, I'm not sure why everything else has to be realistic. If it was the red be no dragons or magic.
@@Las645what part of "medieval setting" can't you grasp?
That's as idiotic as having a readheaded white dude by an Aztec Emperor
Question: Why even risk importing Princesses? Couldn't they use the whole bloodbrothers bit to sacrifice random local peasants?
Not much thought into it.
The AI didn't think matters through.
I literally had that same thought
Yep... Pretty much.
They were worried the dragon would do the pea test so decided to play it safe.
You know, an actual male-led hero overcoming obstacles and sacrificing everything to actually save the damsel in distress who cannot save herself would be pretty refreshing at this point. Extra points if they get married at the end.
What’s old is new again, as they say.
Quick correction there: the "cage" that was put around the princess isn't some sort of symbolism but an actual thing that noble women had to wear
Night 1, sees ritual
Night 2, is in ritual
Night 3, escapes cave
Night 4, fight dragon
She last ate food on night 2 and still became more capable as time passed.
Not only eat, water, only water, she have was the ice drops, and she become also like you said more capable
And on Night five the kingdom had already lined up another marriage. So that prince was walking another princess around while the dragon set off the fire storm!!!
The power of intermittent fasting (unplanned, isolated, in a dragon cave variation)
that's Hollywood script-writing, baby!
You can be surprisingly active on an empty belly when your life is on the line.
The sheer lack of understanding of physics that went into the sand helmet balancing act is just astounding. It would not function as a timer at all... The moment it lost even a tiny fraction of the sand keeping it balanced, it would topple instantly.
"Why are you lining up in a V formation when fighting a Dragon? Everyone knows fire breath is cone shaped." -yeah these idiot writers never played D&D, it seems. :D I love it even more that AFTER the Dragon already incinerated most of his soldiers the king has the others encircle him while standing in the middle of the cave, instead of trying to run into cover...
I like how she forgave the dragon but not her father lmao.
The dragon who held a grudge for centuries and killed god knows how many people out of sheer spite.
One has dangly bits and the other hasn't, it makes perfect sense.
yes, and punish the royal family for killing girls, just not the actual dragon that is killing girls.@@Raximus3000
"Let's ignore all the sucesses of the past so we can go bankrupt in the future."
This is my new favorite phrase from you. Succinctly put.
😂
A better maiden saves herself from the dragon story is a Russian film called I Am Dragon. It’s more of a romance/drama but the female character is strong without being an eye-rolling girl boss. There is also a sacrificial ritual in there somewhat but it’s done much better. The subversion of the different fairytale tropes are also done much better.
This! I, Dragon is pretty damn good and this is a ripoff, really. The beginning and mid part are waaaay too similar for it to be a coincidence
Collecting glow worms for light was a great idea... in Pitch Black when they did it, 20ish years ago...
It's a shame because there is an interesting idea in having a princess in a cat and mouse survival encounter with a dragon. They could have told an interesting story about duty, hardship, naivete, and growth. Because the story was built from the ground up to fixate on being feminist, she's isn't allowed to be a character, just a power fantasy that even more shallow than the men this movie claims to subvert.
Well said!
Holy crap! They actually used the Galadriel climbing a rock wall with a knife concept! Its so creatively bankrupt they are using another failed shows "powerful woman" moment.
And the part of Galadrauron surviving fire into her head unscathed. I guess thr cliches are setting as there are not many new things a Mary Sue can face as alegory of the patriarchy (>_>)zzzZ.
Don't forget they literally ripped off Die Hard with the tight tunnel crawl just before that XD
Question. If they were throwing princesses and noble woman for centuries how no one noticed? No one asked where did their daughters went ? 💀🤦
In the movie the dad was told before the sacrifice and the marriage
We can assume that all the fathers are tild before the marriage
This also creates questions
What happens if you refuse
If you still accept won't you earn other nations
Because of this why are there no rumors.
3 counties princess's every generation, wouldn't they have formed enough alliances to kill the dragon
“Be selfish, you’re worth it.” - Disparu

When the dragon said "Elodie, I am your mother..." It put literal shivers down my spine
With a damsel in distress usually the hero saves people but with the sisterhooding girlboss she definitely had the dragon kill more women in that castle than it did in the cave
I wonder if the CW knew how much meme mileage would be derived from their Batwoman song.
There's a fair bit of irony that once she knew the dragon was only after the royal family and was being tricked, the best solution was to try to talk to the dragon. They're essentially on the same side here; she just needs to convince the dragon of it. You know, like a woman. Great time to do that would be when her father was pinned down, because A) the dragon isn't focused on her, B) her father can back up her story, either in words or by the dragon figuring out the relation by smell, and C) it might just save his life. But apparently they think heroism is about how badass you are and not about doing the right thing even when it risks your life?
Also, rather than burn the whole place, she has the perfect opportunity to use their massive resources to help her people. Get rid of the queen, marry the prince for legitimacy, and start sending supplies. Clearly these people don't have much of a problem with a ruling queen with a figurehead king, and you do have that dragon for anyone who does.
So yeah, if she were actually clever and brave, she could have made the world better. Instead she just destroys everything.
Nah, even though she did NOT know her father betrayed her and knew she was going to be sacrificed, she just lets the Dragon kill him. Then again even the whole convincing part was super hard, the Dragon really did not want to listen, which is odd considering she is a very intelligent being yet when all signs point to that she had been lied to she refuses to even check it out?
The ability of modern heroines to pull abilities and powers out of, presumably, their lady bits is astounding. If only that included likeability or logic or a script not written by an AI focused on diversity.
I don't get why they think women they portray as physically and mentally superior to any man is someone other women can warm to but they also make them bitchiest, moaniest, self centred horrors on the planet. No woman, well no one at all for that matter, would want anything to do with her. Can't help wondering as well, when she was doing the let's walk out of the fire ravaged castle bit - where's her sister and her step mum? I assume around somewhere - or not.
I’ve had Fallopian tubes all my life, but I’ve never been able to pull any superpowers from them. I feel cheated! Though, people do tend to like being around me.
@LillyLou I’m a white dangly bits, where’s my Hollywood evil superpowers and privilege? I think… I think… Hollywood lied to me!
This mixing of historical and modern perspectives on arranged marriages is a nonsensical paradox. Even if the bride-to-be had issues with it, it wouldn't come from a self-assured modern perspective on it (marriage wasn't based on love). It's a character with centuries further cultural developments behind her, plopped in among characters in their own era, just to serve some nonsensical masturbatory empowerment fantasy.
The common, running thread of every single DIE film.
'I cannot comprehend any perspective other than my own'
This is one of the main issues I had with many ‘classic’ Disney films once I got old enough to give them any real consideration. Almost all the princesses from the 90s have modern-day sensibilities in a time when said sensibilities wouldn’t be able to exist.
@FuSato_NanananaJasmine comes to mind where she refuses all suitors when in reality she wouldn't be in a position to have any say. Also Mulan 2 where China would actually burn because Mulan convinces the princesses to ditch their duty to go marry the comedy relief soldiers of the first Mulan.
@@angrytheclown801 Yeah it would have made more sense if she was just suited to Jafar and Aladdin showed up and changed the Sultan's mind after the wish with Genie. Plot would have basically been the same. But at the same time it was a plot point that Jafar was magically manipulating the Sultan to make sure he would be the one to marry Jasmine soooo...perhaps it was still plausible within the plot that he would agree with her not approving of suitors.
There was a queen from Poland that indeed was quite a big deal for refusing an arranged marriage... But it wasn't for some modern empowerment, it was for good, understandable dislike of Germans.
I watched this movie with my wife. It was obviously over the top with girl boss energy, but it was still admittedly fun to watch. The film really wasn’t trying to be a cinematic masterpiece. The best word I could bring up is that the movie was “fun”. Not always endearing, witty, or exceptional… but generic fun. Just me?
ok the dragons fire can't burn it when it comes out of it's mouth so how exactly does it burn it when it comes back & hit the stronger scales on the outside?
Indeed, why is she fireproof on the inside but not the outside ? Her scales even light up when she breathes magma, so you know it comes out of her throat.

Killed the dragon with laughter
Good game
Tamora Pierce wrote like 20 novels staring women protagonists in medieval fantasy worlds. They were empowered women who fought alongside their male counterparts with weapons of the time, they struggled with various interpersonal issues including, yes, sexism, but also power struggles, magic villains, and of all things currency inflation.
And they did it all without girlbossing or putting down their male counterparts.
Why can’t we get a movie or a TV show about THESE girls?
Sounds like a cool idea then tbh.
But then again : could end horribly. Chances seem high that you will get a show runner/director that has other "modern" priorities.
Like it happened with Rings of power, the witcher and such.
You would have to enforce a strict limit of possible changes to characters and the plot, to ensure a good show. Or find a director that actually likes the source material
The Paksenarrion novels.
Can't believe you've watched it twice to review it for us! What a sacrifice 🤣
I would honestly LOOOOOOOVE to watch a movie with a strong, masculine man who saves a feminine woman in distress, especially if it’s a woman he already loves who knows he will come for her. That dynamic of protection, rescue, faith, and trust. That would be a good movie. That would be compelling. Watching some stupid girlboss do things that would literally never happen is so boring. So stupid.
Watch Princess Bride
Any film at all showing a man and woman in a loving relationship would be a gargantuan change at this point.
Read The first chronicles of druss the legend.
Hallmark. There’s a reason it’s still around. It’s after Christmas so if you’re lucky it’ll be a mystery one.
I would throw my money at that so fast. Bring back traditional heroic tales.
If a light sabre through the stomach doesn't kill them, why would a regular sword do it.
Forget a sword or a lightsaber, "Damsel" got an entire dragon claw through her gut and walked it off in the same scene.
@@emanwe01 I love how modern day writers apparently dont understand the difference between past and present^^.
"people can survive being stabbed through the gut" yes, today, cause we have hospitals and surgeons. Not in the distant past.
"People marry because of love, not political stability and calculation" yes, today, not in the distant past.
"Your sex isnt defining what you should and shouldnt do in life. And people think it is wrong when it does!" yes, TODAY, not in the DISTANT PAST!
@@emanwe01 Don't forget the lava bath she had and survived because...water and worms, I guess?
The bit that finally broke be into a puddle of tears was when the dragon transformed into a Barbie convertible and they drove out of the cave together spraying all the males with liquid fire, even the farmers in the fields. So stunning and brave.
All that screaming when there's a dragon trying to find her is the best. Why did she survive this? Oh, sorry. Girl boss.
"Waht do you want to see ?"
"Everything..."

Masterfull editing there xD
Black widow wouldnt have survived that fall. 😂
Black widow understood the value of sacrifice.
What about Batman?
@@thomasb6283 which batman?
Keaton and Conroy and Adam West would have survived.
Bale probably would have been crippled.
Any other batman would have plummeted to his death.
it is because that she did not have fallopian tubes lol
I just love that a simple cut of hands made her blood chemistry completely change and the dragon couldn't smell the difference. And like you said the prince had no cut on his hand, maybe he used those glow worms orsomething to heal it lol.
The prince didn't seem that bad. He was clearly unhappy at having to do the ritual and flat out refused to kill the younger sister. With that, and the King going to save his daughter, it seemed the Queen was the only actual villain in the story.
The dragon is probably the best character
Her makeup was the real hero!! stayed on point until the end!!!

That's just her face.
Yasss, before Hollywood decided she was the next big thing they should have reflected that she became famous for showing little to no emotion.
She is a graduate from the Kristen Stewart school of acting.

I realllllly want to see a movie like this being made with a well written, reasonable female character as the like .... lackey/side kick/maid/whatever who is a voice of reason but is constantly disregarded because every reasonable suggestion isn't "girlboss" enough and then near the end, the girl boss is killed off and the reasonable side character becomes the heroine.
Sounds amazing for small movie

Yessss
Heres a question i had while watch this movie.
Why go through all this trouble finding princesses from other kingdoms and going through multiple weddings in a row when the royal family could pick/kidnap a peasant girl, put her in an fancy outfit, do the blood ritual and then toss her in. Nobodies going to notice three girls going missing every couple decades or however long the sacrifices are needed.
Because unlike the writers, you have a brain...
I've wonder this same question, but it's simple: they won't sacrifice any of their own people. they go after other kingdoms so theirs can still trive.
@@gisela_oliveira The same applies,a peasant from another kingdom would be even easier to take.
@@naamadossantossilva4736 so funny how people will expect so much fomr a female led movie, but i dont think we get this many questioning when is a male led action movie...
@@gisela_oliveira Stated like a true feminist!
Fantastic how she stood straight up after falling 100 feet 😂😂😂
The man who threw her in the hole was the hero, so actually the only expectation subverted was the fact the villain won.
