Damsel 🤝 I am Dragon

say what you want about Netflix’s Damsel, but the ending gave me chills and literally had me shedding tears.

*spoilers*

we need more movies like this, the ones where the *actual* antagonists got what they deserved, and the misunderstood ones, who are actually victims too, got a chance to redeem themselves and live a happy life. I was super satisfied with the ending we got, because I was so rooting for the dragon. I mean I was rooting for Elodie too, obviously, but let’s be real, the dragon’s story was the most tragic one, and she was never a villain — and if you think she is, after learning about what happened to her and her children, just because she’s “a beast” then I literally do not trust you.

we love the dragon here. she’s the mother. literally.

yeah sure, Elodie wasn't prepared to fight a dragon, she was left to die and that explains her outfit. but I still wonder when girls in fantasy and fairytale movies will stop fighting dragons and other monsters either in uncomfortable dresses or almost naked?

in the scene when she goes back for sister and starts picking up pieces of armor, I was sure she would wear them to protect herself (and that would be very powerful and aesthetic, I mean girls in armor are always cool). but no, she went to the dragon in only a corset and a scrap of skirt. and it looked dumb, not cool.

So Damsel inspired me...👑🔥⚔️ (Maybe it reawakened my desire to fight the patriarchy idk)

Damsel Does What Disney Couldn't

I don't want to write about films or shows often because I'm not big on them. I also worried I might spill too much info while talking about it. However, I felt this one was too good to be silent about.

The premise is a princess fights a dragon.

Something.... I don't think has been done before. Maybe. Not sure if it's the first but it certainly feels like the first.

I'm going off everything that was from the trailer to avoid spoiling the movie since it just recently came out. Unsurprisingly, they put quite a bit in the trailer. That's the thing to do these days. Jam all the action bits in the trailer and hope the audience stays awake for the slow bits.

However, there's quite a bit of action left over after the trailer. Such as the princess exploring the caves and running from the dragon.

That's right, THE PRINCESS RUNS AWAY FROM THE DRAGON BECAUSE THAT IS THE OBVIOUS AND LOGICAL THING TO DO. Had she just picked up a sword and go head in for a fight, this would have been another Disney "empowered" strong woman sludge.

Thankfully, it's not and the princess uses her intelligence rather than magic deus ex machina and actually struggles while planning her escape from the dragon. Yes, ESCAPE, because that is what any normal person would do. Let's not forget this is a girl who expected to be married to a prince (for political reasons) and was tricked into being a dragon's dinner.

So yeah, Elodie (the princess, I'm done writing 'the princess' so often) manages to get her wedding dress torn up and hides in a cave with a map made by the previous princesses the dragon roasted over the century. Which help Elodie find a path to her escape.

A good chunk of this film is Elodie fumbling around the caves up and down, climbing chasms and running from dragon fire. It sounds like it would be boring but the film does it in a way that makes it all intense and fun to watch.

But after she escapes, OH NO, her sister gets set up to be sacrificed! So Elodie jumps back in the dragon's lair to get her sister out. This is where she does fight the dragon but she works with her strengths, which is her intelligence and strategizing skills. Never thought I'd see a modern movie give a girl a brain instead of a mcguffic to solve her problems.

Elodie is hands down the best female character we've been given in a long time and it's high time we got her. She's not physically strong like a man. She's emotionally and mentally strong, being able to confront terrible monsters, forgive bad decisions or mistakes, and having the courage to save her sister. THIS is what people have been begging for in female characters for years!

Hopefully, this is the start of better female character and not a jump into more stories of women fighting giant monsters ignoring the entire moral behind the story.

There's a megaton of stuff I left out for the sake of spoilers not being spilled.

The point I wanted to get across was that Damsel is a really good film that I highly recommend ... if you have Netflix already. Never going to condone purchasing streaming "service" just for a single show or film. I demand variety with that kind of thing!

princess Elodie and the dragon becoming badass besties who bonded over shared trauma and took their revenge on the same people who had wronged them just cured something in me

To all my lovers of lady whump!!! Go watch Damsel starring Millie Bobby Brown!! There's so much whump for her in this movie and the movie itself was sooooo good! Elodie is thrown off a cliff, burned badly several times, is stabbed by a dragon claw, and in general is afraid and in pain and stinging from serious betrayal. It's so good
