Frozen revolutionized princess movies? Seriously?

Mulan>>>>Elsa

No comparison. While everyone in frozen was a stupid brat, mulan went ahead and changed history. She didn't solve some stupid love problem. She went to save her father, and ended up not only saving china, but also helped create a stepping stone for women. Her love with the general wasn't forced, and it brought an example of relations which are realistic (i.e imperfect).



Anyways, what a bad complaint. Adding peach in the beginning won't magically bring millions of women to buy the game.

Yep. Mulan is better than anything Disney has done these last years.

 

Let's not forget that Ariel was also strong.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Moana and the princess from Brave can also be added to that list. I especially like how Moana had a close relationship with Maui. 

 

Surprised  how being an introvert and asshole somehow makes you inspiring to women. She

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

I have a complaint too about the outdated traditionalist views. No nudity or sex. What is this, the Victorian era?



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I couldn't write a better two paragraphs if I tried.

Those two paragraphs read like someone trying to justify wasting 100k on a gender studies degree.

Yeah, I saw Moana a few days ago and it was awesome, really great to see a female Disney character like that. Saying Frozen "subverted and reinvigorated the fairy-tale princess movie" just means the "journalist" doesn't even know what he's talking about. Frozen is the basic "Love is more powerful than anything and you need love" girly Disney movie, as far as feminism as it can be.

You want your daughter to grow up strong and independent? Show her Mulan, Brave and Moana, but surely not Frozen.

I think you're mixing up feminism with androgenism.

Now this is completely and utterly ridiculous honestly.

I like Mulan but Zootopia beats it any day of the week.

But there are strong female character in Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Kart 8 and New Super Mario Bros U.
Also, Nintendo gave us Samus back in the 80s, so they always had strong female characters.

The SJW blogs just need to justify their sad existence, that is all. =(



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I doubt it was just $100k and yup it does appear that way. Handy thing too is that the game is selling like cold cakes so it's a nice time to try to find a reason why it isn't selling that you believe in and try to make it work as hard as you can.

Why the heck isn't there an option for an African American character in the game too? Why does Mario have to be a home boy? That's the reason people aren't buying this game up in da hood, they can't relate to Mario stomping on people, keeping whitey on top.

 

Man I'm tired, I think I'm dying of lack of sleep....
