The sad thing is the classic tale of a brave knight saving the princess from a dragon is of romance not vanity. It expresses how far a man will go for a woman he cares for. No sane man would go fight a 50 foot fire breathing lizard that could eat him alive, its terrifying! But thats what men do for the women they love; They fight, they endure, and if necessary, they die for the women they love. It's very sad that all this unwarranted hatred of men has done its utmost to not only smother the things that might make us as men feel proud and inspired, but it has also coldly rejected and misunderstood how we express our love through our strength and actions.

So from that we can conclude the queen told him that they would sacrifice his daughter and in return, he would be paid in tons of gold. Also, the weddings are held in secret.

I suggest watching the 1981 movie, "Dragonslayer", which has similar plot and was done much better and has ZERO of "the message" crammed into it. In case you haven't seen Dragonslayer, its the same set up...a medieval king makes a pact with a dragon to spare his kingdom but requires regular sacrifices of the female persuasion to appease the dragon. And the dragon is female too. But the townsfolk hire a magician's apprentice to slay the dragon, who is way over his head, because the plebs are tired of sacrificing their daughters for the king. Its got a great cast of actors, some you might recognize, and the effects (using practical effects & stop motion) just might surprise you. Its well worth a look-see & I highly recommend it. Also, parts of it were filmed in Scotland.

"Dragonslayer" but "updated for modern audiences" (i.e. turned to crap) is the first thing I thought of as I listened the Drinker's review. In 1981, Dragonslayer had "strong female characters" such as Caitlin Clark's "Valerian" and even the Princess. The Woke's delusional beliefs that they introduced "strong, independent female characters" and "diversity" to films is one of the more eyerolling things about them.

Here is my timeline for watching this movie. Step 1: Wife says hey, "that girl from Stranger Things" we should watch it. Step 2: I read a review of it on google that describes it as "so fire" and tells me how great the writing and performances are Step 3: 45 minutes in I am bored. Wife starts playing games on her phone, I go to my desk to play PS5 while kinda sorta watching the movie. Step 4: Movie ends and wife says "that was boring"

And she agreed because she's nobility and knows that she's to be wed to other nobility *and* it'd save her people from starvation. She makes the right choice.

Most modern writers barely understand the craft and CANNOT write consistent characters. They struggle to write anything that's not their OP OC existing in an existing IP "improving" everything. And if they do make their own IP, they still want to insert their OC into it. And that OC is just their own personality, but more schizo. They cannot write a character that is believable, that exists in their respective world.

Just look at all the male-led fantasy garbage from the mid-2000s. You can't even take this culture war bait seriously anymore. He complains about the blood in a magical way in a fantasy movie while completely forgetting there's a freaking magical dragon in the movie.

As a female fantasy writer, I have this to say, "Thanks 'Damsel! Thanks for cementing the idea that we women really can't write mature, good fantasy." If this was done properly, then the stakes would be higher and the question that we would be seeking to answer is whether other solutions weren't sought... like Dragonslayer. In fact this is a lot like a low rent Dragonslayer film. In Dragonslayer, there was also a conspiracy and it was better. And why do they have to marry the woman? I would have just kidnapped her. Much easier. I also like how Dragonslayer the Dragon wasn't a victim. It was a force of nature that presented a true threat. And there was a conspiracy too, but it was far more believable: if you were rich, your daughter wasn't put in the lottery. In fact, just go watch Dragonslayer. Do they really think men will watch this and rethink how he views women? Or women will watch this and be "inspired?" Maybe all the 20 something drunk girls. The rest of us don't care. We'd rather throw one of our cats at the neighborhood kids and scream "get off my lawn!"

Case in point: BBC: The wheelchair-bound Davros, the ultimate villain in Dr. Who, model of the Daleks, suddenly grew legs in the most recent revival. On the new BBC Three companion series Doctor Who: Unleashed, the producer Mr. Davies said: "We had long conversations about bringing Davros back, because he's a fantastic character, [but] time and society and culture and taste has moved on. "And there's a problem with the Davros of old in that he's a wheelchair user, who is evil. And I had problems with that. And a lot of us on the production team had problems with that, of associating disability with evil.” The wokesters of modern cinema have unilaterally decided that wheelchair users are incapable of evil. I've got news for them. I know a deaf guy who is a complete asshole. How about a bit of truth in cinema? Maybe it should reflect reality rather than ideology. I am beyond exhausted with ideologically-biased productions. Show me a film as raw and true as Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" and I'll buy a ticket to that movie.

@@Soapromancer naw - I was just making the Drinkers most excellent quote into a catch-all. You can apply it to all woke analysis: Those that say Christopher Columbus was evil, but its perfectly fine for primitive cultures to employ slave economies. America is racist and evil, but African warlords who captured & sold the slaves are noble...There is so much packed into that quote. a nice bit of language.

I feel like the worst part is that the concept isn't bad. I cringed the whole way through but this had potential. I'm really sad about it, I feel like with changes to all the dialogue and some changes to the plot the concept of a corrupt royal family sacrificing girls and the lead being completely disgarded by her family to save their kingdom would have been really cool, especially if all the nobles and royals actually ACTED like aristocrats.

Patricia Wrede wrote Dealing with Dragons back in the early 90s. It's about a Princess who wants more out of life than being a pretty ornament and when she meets the dipstick Prince her parents intend to marry her off to, she runs away and deliberately gets "kidnapped" by a dragon, who puts her in charge of organizing all the stuff the dragon has hoarded over the years. Eventually, adventures ensue. Subverting tropes isn't new, no matter what the current crop of writers thinks, it's the execution that matters.

@@ashsimpson8700He isn't always right. He just grew as sick and tired of modern movies as the majority of his audience and who can blame him? Hollywood is making it fairly easy these days to hate movies. People watch movies for escapism. To be entertained and not lectured... . I used to go to the movies at least once a week, now I probably go once every few months. I still enjoy watching movies, just not the garbage mostly being released these days. Drinker can actually be quite nuanced, one of the reasons I'm still coming back to his channel, even though he sometimes goes overboard and he definitely should stay away from the toxic right-wing, crybaby incel crowd (Ryan Kinel, Nerdrotic etc.) he often associates himself with. But in the end bad written (female) characters are just a recurring pattern in modern movies, so is the hiring of talentless people for political reasons (their gender, their sexual orientation etc.). Writers, directors etc. used to have to work their way up the ladder for years until Hollywood gave them high profile projects. Nowadays they hand out hundred million dollar projects to indie filmmakers with one film under their belt, just because they check the right hiring boxes and have the "correct" political leaning.... . It's insanity. But if you pay attention, when a movie or a character is good and well written, he'll actually say so. It's just kinda rare these days....
