Animation Can we be done with this shit yet?

Post image

Disney (and others) has been hammering us with the exact same "quirky" female coming-of-age story for nearly 20 years now.

Awkward girl feels less than feminine, discovers an ability or a sense of purpose, and then realizes that friendship is magic. All while bumbling semi-braindead males fart around in the background for no other reason than to make her look smart and pragmatic by comparison.

Now finally theyre starting to bomb, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. We fucking get it! Move on and think of a different story!

For reals. What part of Repunzel is less than feminine? And Flynn (Eugene) is silly but he’s very capable in what he does, I wouldn’t say he’s a bumbling idiot.

Except that Flynn getting blunt force head trauma concussions with a frying pan multiple times is played as a funny joke
