As I was creating my 아이콘 for Team Merida, I realised exactly why I loved this girl. As a result, I decided to write an 기사 with 5 reasons why everybody should 사랑 Merida/Brave
1. 메리다와 마법의 숲 was the first 픽사 film that had a female protagonist.
픽사 is a hugely successful company, but it took about 8 years since they first started making films for them to make a movie where the main character was a girl. Before 메리다와 마법의 숲 was made, I was slightly annoyed at 픽사 - most of it's films didn't even pass the Bechdel test. I 사랑 메리다와 마법의 숲 because it finally featured an awesome female character.
2. Merida is a great role-model, just the same as some of the other girls
Perhaps Merida isn't your first thought when it comes to good role-model. A lot of people call her "spoilt" and "a brat". However, stop to think about it. There is something in Merida's life that she doesn't like, so she makes a HUGE effort to change it. She doesn't just accept a bad fate. There are millions of teenagers in abusive 또는 bad situations and Merida can act as a perfect role-model to show teens they can change their life!
3. Merida is the first princess with brothers
I have ALWAYS wished for a princess film that showed an accurate portrayal about the brother/sister relationship. And while 메리다와 마법의 숲 didn't have much of a focus on the four siblings, at least it was a start. I WANT 더 많이 PRINCESSES WITH BROTHERS
4. Merida is the first princess who didn't end up with a 사랑 interest.
I guess to some people this would not seem very significant, but I feel it is very important that girls see that a princess doesn't have to eventually end up with a prince/love interest. 당신 don't need a man to live happily ever after. 메리다와 마법의 숲 teaches girls that life is about finding yourself, not romantic love.
5. Merida gets a lot of unfair criticism
As mentioned earlier, Merida is often (unfairly) called a spoiled brat because of the way she reacts when she finds out she is being forced into marriage. But, realistically,how would 당신 feel if 당신 were sixteen and looking 앞으로 to studying at 대학 so 당신 can go and live your dreams. Suddenly, your parents tell 당신 none of that is going to happen and 당신 have to give up your dreams and get married. Any arguement 당신 make is completely ignored. Oh, and 의해 the way, 당신 have no choice in who 당신 marry and your husband is a complete stranger who 당신 have never spoken too. I'm guessing any sane person would react the same way Merida did.
That concludes this article. I would really be interested to hear your thoughts.
