As I was creating my आइकनों for Team Merida, I realised exactly why I loved this girl. As a result, I decided to write an लेख with 5 reasons why everybody should प्यार Merida/Brave
1. ब्रेव was the first पिक्सार film that had a female protagonist.
पिक्सार is a hugely successful company, but it took about 8 years since they first started making films for them to make a movie where the main character was a girl. Before ब्रेव was made, I was slightly annoyed at पिक्सार - most of it's films didn't even pass the Bechdel test. I प्यार ब्रेव because it finally featured an awesome female character.
2. Merida is a great role-model, just the same as some of the other girls
Perhaps Merida isn't your first thought when it comes to good role-model. A lot of people call her "spoilt" and "a brat". However, stop to think about it. There is something in Merida's life that she doesn't like, so she makes a HUGE effort to change it. She doesn't just accept a bad fate. There are millions of teenagers in abusive या bad situations and Merida can act as a perfect role-model to दिखाना teens they can change their life!
3. Merida is the first princess with brothers
I have ALWAYS wished for a princess film that showed an accurate portrayal about the brother/sister relationship. And while ब्रेव didn't have much of a focus on the four siblings, at least it was a start. I WANT और PRINCESSES WITH BROTHERS
4. Merida is the first princess who didn't end up with a प्यार interest.
I guess to some people this would not seem very significant, but I feel it is very important that girls see that a princess doesn't have to eventually end up with a prince/love interest. आप don't need a man to live happily ever after. ब्रेव teaches girls that life is about finding yourself, not romantic love.
5. Merida gets a lot of unfair criticism
As mentioned earlier, Merida is often (unfairly) called a spoiled brat because of the way she reacts when she finds out she is being forced into marriage. But, realistically,how would आप feel if आप were sixteen and looking आगे to studying at विश्वविद्यालय so आप can go and live your dreams. Suddenly, your parents tell आप none of that is going to happen and आप have to give up your dreams and get married. Any arguement आप make is completely ignored. Oh, and द्वारा the way, आप have no choice in who आप marry and your husband is a complete stranger who आप have never spoken too. I'm guessing any sane person would react the same way Merida did.
That concludes this article. I would really be interested to hear your thoughts.
