Reason why
People ask me why am I into all my fandoms? Truth be told that the reason why is that I see so much shit and hatred on a daily basis in the world and the only way to escape it is through a fictional world.
On the female characters in the movie
Not only is the movie racist, it also messed up such amazing female characters.
- Book!Miss P: is old but wise, conservative but sweet and caring, strong willed, emotional but manages to stay clear headed - Movie!Miss P: is young, pretty and charismatic, which is a trope I like but not for this character; I have a feeling she’s going to be flirtatious and out-going and that’s just not Miss P. - Book!Emma: is really emotional although she doesn’t show it, feels everything but tries to hide it so it doesn’t cloud her decisions, angry and assertive, doesn’t change when she gets together with Jacob - Movie!Emma: this makes me the most angry. See, I like the sweet, dreamy girl types like Luna Lovegood. But I could relate so much to Emma in the books - she feels everything at once, she cares and she gets angry and makes irrational decisions and I loved her for that. And they just took that away. - Book!Bronwyn: completely obliterates the “butch, strong female who is mean to everybody” trope and is instead this sweet, caring big sister who carries around her siblings on her shoulders and gives them good night kisses. - Movie!Bronwyn: is just a little girl? The opportunity to make her a big sister figure has been taken away entirely. Now, she’s just cute. - Book!Olive: brave, assertive even for her age, willing to do anything for her friends, doesn’t give up hope, loves her family unconditionally. - Movie!Olive: seems to be aged up only to be the love interest for Enoch, which just wasn’t necessary (because they had 0 interactions in the book and Hugh and Fiona exist too). I have the ugly feeling that she will stand in his shadow. - Book!Fiona: is definitely a girl of colour, has PTSD but still was a sweet and lovable character, deserved a better ending of her character arc but still - Movie!Fiona: is seemingly neurotypical, a little white girl without further backstory and cute braids - Claire hasn’t changed, really, so I’m not going to elaborate on her.
The movie took these characters from the book and changed them in such ways that a big part of who they were supposed to be disappeared. Now they’re just pretty and cute.
REBLOG THIS IF
You can’t wait for Once Upon a Time to end, just because that means we’ll finally get rid of this toxic, bullying, ignorant, cruel, homophobic, racist and misogynistic, abusing fandom (yes, I’m talking mostly about CS but not only that).
