She is animal. You can't hold animal accountable the same way as humans.

The dragon is female, so....

So its a villain origin story? Cool

@@Jenny-vm3yu That makes even less sense. Why not just kidnap a bunch of poor foreign women discreetly instead of making public marriage proposals and dowry so everyone knows?

​@@Raldavar Or even offer any local girls who volunteer for tribute sweetheart deal to their families. Like give them a shit ton of gold and noble titles or something if they go willingly. Would have been cheaper than paying a bride price to actual royals and aristocrats.

Get a criminal!

@@Raximus3000 Yes all this makes more sense than the real story

@@barbiquearea Maybe create a Hunger Games-esque 'Victor's Village'-type deal; where the families of those who volunteer as 'sacrifices' get to live -- they get all kinds of benefits in return, & the Royal Family gets multiple generations of people supporting them, in return for said benefits- which would make it difficult for anyone who wanted to *change* things (say, a new bride- who'd married the prince _after_ the sacrifices- & then, learning about their 'charming' family tradition; she has to decide if she'll fight against the status quo, to save innocent lives)... Also, was it made clear who those red-draped priestesses were? The Queen was dressed the same- so...? {Are they like the actual princesses of the royal family, from earlier generations?! That would add a very dark & complex factor to the tale...}

Oh yeah... 0_0

I think that’s the only real plot hole! That as well as the fully drawn map even though V wouldn’t have had any reason to go back down to draw the map

Would have been nice if the film developed a magic system. Like the knife that was used to make the cut of her palm is enchanted so that the wound can't be fully healed / to make sure that the blood sharing thing lasts longer in order for the dragon to have the best chance of detecting it.

@@umwha or the fact one princess climbed the crystal wall saw the end tunnel then climbed back down to draw it then climbed back up to get burnt! or the stepmother can track 11 on a mountain under a rock.but a dragon cant. or stepmother never gets a name. theres a lot more but meh!

@@benwarwick4290 YES!!! Thats what I meant about V drawing the map. Lol. And yes the conspicuously black step mother being able to GPS track Elodie makes no sense especially since she was stabbed. She also survived the stabbing with no consequence

It's more of an older sibling rescuing their younger sibling. I wouldn't say this movie was a failure

@@giantotter319 Not to mention she wouldn't have gotten out of that place alive where it not for her father and his men coming to her rescue.

This is exactly how I thought it when I saw the movie. 😂😂😂😂

Exactly 😂 we know that the dragon likes a neat chat, so why did NONE of the princesses say anything??

The dragon pays a visit to the royal family: You tricked me ... The queen: Maybe we shouldn't have told them the full story before throwing them down to the dragon. Guess that was a mistake.

It was a whaman doing it so it is okay.

I do too, but we don't see any innocent people die in this movie. The only casualties are the corrupt and evil royals, and the castle is just a building. We have no reason to believe that anyone else died.

​@@peacemaster8117 oh just because we didn't see bodies doesn't mean she's an murderer. 😂😂 ignore the guards, soldiers, maids, servants and plenty of other people whom came no knowing what's happened due to most of these kingdoms must be miles away from each other.

Well it was a female dragon after all

That's not a criticism.

@@andyroobrick-a-brack9355 I agree with andyroobrick

Dont think this is valid criticism.

@@AuroraBoost Then you don't understand it. It's lazy writing - trying to inject present day Californian political ideologies into a Medieval-inspired fantasy setting.

Would certainly be interesting and logical if the setup was that Elodie had been selected as a baby to be sacrificed once she reached adulthood and therefore she trained her whole life to survive when the time eventually came

That would actually have been a cool movie! Like a caper fantasy movie. Dragons 11.

Yep, additionally have the "drop into the cave" at least be realistically survivable. Train for 20 years, only to be dropped 200 feet to your certain death. Also, that was the sacrificial portal... every girl was dropped that far and many (all?) survived. Assuming if they died, they wouldn't count since the dragon would not be satisfied with with an already dead body. I mean, just write it better, a shorter drop, a sealed, steel door that cannot be opened from the inside. SOMETHING logical lol

Didn't you see the live action Mulan? Girlbosses don't need to train to get good at fighting, they're just born with it. 🙄

that would require a man to train her and this movie is too stupid to do that "strong women need no training , already perfect"

They picked poor houses or families and basically bought the daughters. The villages of the chiefs and lords were dying out because of famine and therefore they didn't question their daughters dying as long as their own homes prospered with the money given. This video doesn't actually tell everything about the movie. You'd have to watch it for yourself

@@reneeeli8645 that explains this ONE incident. It does not explain any of the others. It’s not a bad extrapolation, but it requires circumstances that are unlikely to hold for the other times this sacrifice has occurred.

​@@reneeeli8645 The dad was clearly in on the whole scheme, but his wife and other daughter weren't. What if sometime down the future they decide to visit Elodi at her kingdom, only to find she is no longer married to the prince? That would raise some alarm bells.

​@@reneeeli8645But if you really think about it, at some point, one of their brothers or boyfriends gonna feel sus on that. In reality, someone will surely be sus on that.

@@reneeeli8645 I have watched it, that's how I know.

In fairness, generational trauma isn't sone new concept peolle suddenly started vecoming interested in. It's akways veen a very popular topic, because it's always been a oart kf the human experience.

@@andyroobrick-a-brack9355 Yes. But my point is that the dragon is presented as good, misunderstood and tragic while the royals are simply pure evil. Even though the dragon is literally forcing them todo what they are doing.

She thought the girls were descended from the king who murdered her children, she didn’t know that the royals were tricking her, that’s why they cut the girl’s hands before throwing them in.

That was my biggest problem as well. We come to understand the dragons reasons, but two wrongs don't make a right and the daughters would have been innocent even if they were from that family. The dragons demands actually prove it was the terrible monster the king thought it was.

@@thectk1000 "2 wrongs don't make a right" is the dumbest logic that adults use to keep kids from hitting each other rather than have a complicated discussion about crime and punishment. If the king was just/good he should have sacrificed himself, or let his family die for peace and die with them, ending the cycle before it began. The king was the terrible monster for prioritizing himself and his bloodline over the sacrifices that were to be made by others in his name.

A king who f'ed up CENTURIES before, too.

I'm curious about your quotation marks; why is the first one down low? In English they're all supposed to go up top, but I've seen this kind of thing several times before, so I assume it's the way you write it in your first language?

@@TheStraightestWhitest Eh it's just those one or two episodes from Season 6 that everybody forgot about

but what unsurvivable shit Arya went through if we're being honest, in 8 seasons, with around 5 seasons of great character development - that scene with her being stabbed 5 times, The Long Night, and when she gets hit by bricks in King's Landing? Nah, there are female characters who go through thicker plot armor in a span of 2 hours in movies

@@dantefromdevilmaycry9857 Exactly. She barely trained. Two sessions with a dancing master who lost to Meryn fookin Trant, and some weeks washing people and swinging a stick around. That ain't enough to be some competent superhuman-esque assassin.

But who is the devil here? The beach or the dragon?

This is an "It's Okay When We Do It" kind of thing.

Here's another question to your list: if the dragon got hurt by a stab from the main character, then why didn't they just kill it with arrows?

" If the slugs were magical that could cure anything... why not use them on her father" He was like 10 seconds from death when she got to him.

Buddy, that's how all writers probably started out. One kf the kkst common origins for any artist is "do what you know." Write what you know, paint what you know, draw wbat you know, etc. Star Wars was literally just a reworked version of a Flash Gordon movie George Lucas wanted to do.

@@andyroobrick-a-brack9355 yeah but I specified "crappy" fan fiction. There are good fan fiction stories out there for sure

@@andyroobrick-a-brack9355Oh look, a shitty R34 MLP fanfic "writer" got offended xDD

I doubt that. It really seemed like the queen was pure evil.

One saving grace of the movie was that they didn’t have a redemption arc for the prince

@@robinregulus Yeah, he accepted his punishment.

To be fair, the Dragon probably doesn't know much about how human genetics work (it is medieval times after all).

@@lasercraft32 You say that as if race was discovered alongside genetics. You don't need a degree on biology to understand the concept of family resemblance dude

@@NoahToledo-xo5pj Its a dragon. Races are a human concept... You don't say that a black cat and a red cat are two different races, do you? I don't think the dragon gives a crap.

@@lasercraft32 You also don't see a black cat and an orange cat and think they are related. If the dragon is smart enough to talk then the concept of family resemblance shouldn't be this alien idea that it can't understand. Like it should notice all the girls look nothing alike despite being supposedly from the same family

And they've been doing this for centuries, so no lesser houses have figured this out? Or they're just okay with it? Also, they TOLD her father what they were doing and he was okay with it. Why not just tell him some BS about her accompanying her betrothed on a "honeymoon" tour or something and claim she died to highwaymen or something?

@@damatarI guess it could be argued that the commoners don't want to put their necks out for it especially if it's once in a generation and if it saves them from getting roasted by an angry dragon, but still. It could've been handled better than IMMEDIATELY after the wedding, and having another wedding set up a few days later. And like a couple drops of swapped blood would even be convincing enough that she 'has royal blood' everyone in the movie is dumb as hell, even the dragon

The Critical Drinker is a terrible critic who bases his criticisms purely on nostalgia. He is blissfully unaware of the artistic side of media. As for this video, I haven't seen the movie, so I can't talk about it from a personal perspective. However, Supercuts seems to be under the impression that all stories have to be logical. They don't. Logic is only one facet of storytelling. As is the case with kost art, the emotions behind it are often the most important part. If we criticized all fairy tales and religious stories with this kind of pedantry, all societies would crumble and die. This just strikes me as pointless "why didn't the birds fly Frodo and Sam to the mountain," all while being blissfully ignorant of the emotional purposes of solemnly struggling up Mount Doom. George R. R. Martin set out to make fairy tales logical. This is the ASOIAF and Game of Thrones, though, hence we have to look at it from a different perspective. It strikes me as trying to use the same formula that made Supercuts Delight successful, only it's applied to the wrong story, all because of a "girl boss" protagonist. That's really the crux of it, I think. If a man were the protagonist, this movie would have been dismissed by the "anti-woke" crowd, because "men can take it!" I expected as such from the Critical Drinker, the sensitive, insecure asshole. I would have never expected that from Supercuts Delight.

@@andyroobrick-a-brack9355 SD didn't announce or narrate the word 'woke', that's ur interpretation from/through ur own thoughts now mate
