I haven't seen the movie. Is there actually any hint of that in it? Or is this reviewer making things up entirely?
The reviewer is making it up. Her only "reasoning" for this theory is that Merida refuses an arranged marriage and hates confining clothing.
I wanted to see it at first, but I wonder if I'm sick and tired of 'girl power' flicks. I've seen enough tough girls onscreen to last me a lifetime. How about some tough men for a change?
Trust me, Merida is NOT an annoying, Mary-Sue "GRRRL POWAH" character. She's strong; but in a way that's believable and relateable.
As for strong men, Merida's dad is an awesome badass and one of the best characters in the movie. :)
