hey, I just wanted to add here that while I wasn't really tuned into Camila Cabello's past racist posts and whatnot before making this video, I did look into it today and wow! it's pretty bad! I say in the vid that I have no strong opinion on Camila, so I wanted to clarify that I definitely abhor her racist behavior and I completely understand people who are swearing off the movie and/or Camila herself because of it.

Enchanted deserves more hype than it gets honestly...

This movie was so tragically unfunny and tone deaf but its worst crime was the bizarre and randomly selected pop interludes

i completely agree with you. the original cinderella already has the potential to be a strong character, but it seems like everyone overlooks that and thinks that every classic story about women needs to be completely 'fixed' with an empty version of feminism instead of just expanding on them. it makes it very obvious that these adaptations don't come from a place of love. also, you definitely deserve way more subscribers!

This “feminist retelling” doesn’t even make Cinderella a self-made success- the dress that gets her noticed at the ball that the prince got her to attend wasn’t even made by her. The fairy godmother makes it for her with magic- she literally says she designed it as a fantasy and had no clue how to actually create it.

the way that they didn't even include the male leads name on the movie posters or advertisement lmaooo

It's funny because in the time period when Cinderella is supposed to take place, women weren't forbidden of work. Women of mid-lower classes sometimes had small local businesses, especially selling clothes, and in agricultural places, they were as well working in the fields along with men. Now, speaking of the high class and the monarchy, women had ruling power and positions, both in the gov and church, so the film tries to say absolutely nothing of substance. Sexism was and still is very real but there more aspects of it than being able to run a local store with fabric etc. Willfully ignoring this very part of history in order to push a "girlboss agenda" does only harm to feminism, because it's erasing all the great things women did or participated in through history.

I do not like what they are doing with these princess adaptions. With the exception of the Disney cinderella remake, there is this idea that these characters' fundamentals need to be fixed. As if kindness, patience, and having hope is a flaw. I can not forget how Lindsey Ellis's video about Ariel really made realize, "Ariel did not 'change herself for a man'. He just happened to be the catalyst for her already established interest in the land." This Buzzfeed Feminism that we see so popularized has even flooded into everyday conversations I have with people where they criticize Disney princesses but not for their lack of diversity in faces, bodies, and relationships, etc. but for the fact that the girls can't take a punch. Camilla's new cinderella falls right in line with a questionable lead as well (I ain't forget about that tumblr mess and what was done to Normani). Amazing video by the way!! You have a new subscriber.

Make 👏 Cinderella 👏 a certified 👏 forklift 👏 driver 👏

What I hate about this is Cinderella imo was already feminist in her own unique way. People have a disdain for femininity being utilized as a strength of someone fighting for agency and them make regurgitated mess like this.

every new cinderella adaptation that comes out only confirms my theory that the best adaptation of it is cinderella III a twist in time

What bothers me is how it kinda downgrades the original Cinderella movie as if she wasn’t strong enough and just another lady awaiting her guard in shining armour when it actually is a story about a girl that went though years of abuse and yet remained kind and forgiving. Unfortunately we are facing a time where entitled people got the wrong grasp of feminism and what it means to be a woman to the point that women that fit even the “stereotype” (in case, getting married and being a queen) even if a little are seen as less than the so called woke ones, it kinda gives me the “not like other girls” vibe. Also, gotta love how everything she wants to do are thing woman could actually do back in the time. Like, dude, at least make her a blacksmith wannabe or smth.

I dunno bout anyone else but I’ve been getting a bunch of ads from Amazon about these “girlbosses” of history and folktales and they seemingly solve their problems by buying stuff through Amazon prime. Most notable one I can remember is the rapunzel one where she buys a ladder to escape and starts a hair salon shortly after. From what I can gather, their take on Cinderella is almost feature length version of those kind of ads, just a bit more discreet about it. (Amazon Girlboss cinematic universe mayhaps???)

I was confused that they treated it like such a big deal that Cinderella wanted to sell goods like. Haven't women been participating in market-places for hundreds of years???

Great analysis! I think this is why I greatly prefer the Drew Barrymore Cinderella movie. It actually talks about poverty and criminality in the context of systemic corruption (Drew's Cinderella has a whole back and forth with the prince while she's trying to save a fellow farm worker from being an indentured servant and discusses how criminality is the product of a lack of resources and education stemming from an incompetent government) and Cinderella isn't a cookie cut person. One of her stepsisters are beautiful whilst Cinderella is not as conventionally pretty, and she's very witty and quick on her feet. It's not a perfect movie by any means, and there are still some messages that I think are outdated, but by far I feel like it really delves into Cinderella's character more and addresses larger issues.

The nerdiest thing about me is my love of fairytales/folklore and my subsequent knowledge of them; so I’ve seen/read ALOT of versions of Cinderella. It is still the most popular fairy tale in the world and pretty much every culture has had some story which could be interpreted as “Cinderella”. What I find interesting about this movie is that it is making a choice to address capitalism and the accumulation of wealth. But literally the one thing that is true about ALL versions of Cinderella is that she is poor (a “commoner”) and is offered an opportunity to accumulate wealth and improve he status by marrying a wealthy person (usually a prince). She doesn’t just get to reject or consider rejecting the prince’s offer without considering that marrying him would mean she would not longer have to worry about having her basic needs meet. And most of the time Cinderalla is written to be a kind generous person so she would also have to consider the ways in which she can help others. A business minded “girl boss” has even less of a reason to reject his offer because being a famous princess would not only be good for businesses it would means she has the funds to facilitate that business. If you want to do a feminist take, set them on equal footing at the start or do like Into the Woods and write her to be disinterested in the prince but tempted by the ways in which he can improve her life.

I am anti-Camila because she constantly referred to Normani as the N word with hard R. Never apologized for it. Just said “I was young and dumb” type of thing, but a text of her saying it before going solo was leaked soooo yea, I’m anti that mean girl.

I feel like this movie would’ve done bonkers good in, like, the 90s or early 2000s and would’ve been considered a radical retelling of Cinderella. That’s the era this type of feminism kind-of fits in. But since we’ve evolved from that and are having more nuanced talks about capitalism and the such, it kind of falls behind now.

Cinder wasn’t a perfect fairy tale subversion, but at least Cinder was a mechanic who also wanted pretty things and a prince ’s attention. Not a fashion designer who thinks she’s too cool for other girls.

The Degrasai fan to Jane Mulcahy pipeline is glorious. Bless 14 year old Degrassi stan me and bless the algorithm for showing me your channel lol

Can we just appreciate Jane's crown? We love a conscious icon

Or how about an adaptation that portrays both the step sisters and cinderella as victims of abuse and trauma? The Step Sisters only project what they have been taught by their abusive mother and take it out on Cinderella because that's their only recourse.

Given Disney’s tendency to try to retcon/“fix” things that weren’t even issues with all their recent live action remakes EXCEPT FOR Cinderella, this feels like the true Disney Cinderella remake and I hate it

Cinderella was kind and selfless, she would have accepted the prince's marriage proposal and convince the Prince to make changes. I mean, gwenn is already intent on making radical changes in their policies basing from her talks with their dad. So why can't cinderella and the Prince let women have their own business once the Prince gets crowned? That way, she not only helps women get more job opportunities but the economy of the kingdom as well..

I just hate how they attribute being nice and finding love to being weak or dependent somehow. You can be independent and still care about love. Also I wish movies would stop trying to fix issues of the past. Like yes women had certain roles back then and didn't have much of a say in many things. A movie made in 2021 is not going to undo that. They could've just made a new princess in a modern time period rather than shit on Cinderella

This was such a great analysis, thank you! It's honestly pretty ironic that the "subversive" take of this movie actually kept its message and character motivations exactly the same, showing a woman "liberate" herself by improving her status in the system that exploits her, and just subbed out monarchy for capitalism. Dare I say, marrying up is just girlbossery under monarchism............

I've been haunted by the rhythm nation cover from this movie on TikTok so thank you for not including it when showing the movie's choice of overused pop songs. Also, it makes total sense for Amazon to make an adaptation of Cinderella where Capitalism is good actually.

If you're interested in an interesting take on a stepmother character (not Cinderella, but Snow White) I really recommend Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust if you haven't already read it. But you're totally right it would be much more interesting to get a Cinderella story that really explores those characters in different ways.

Are they forgetting about Ever after when Daniel saved herself, her "Fairy Godmother" was leonardo da vinci and the whole shoe thing actually made sense since it was her mothers shoe so of course it slipped off since it didn't fit her. She was a badass in that movie.

Meanwhile go back 23 years to "Ever After" with Drew Barrymore and we got Cinderella, bona fide Working Class Hero whose favorite book is Utopia and who flirts with and educates the prince in the same breath.

11:59 Whoa put a jump scare warning next time. James’ junk thrusting in my face is nightmare fuel 😂

I don't know how relatable the "but I don't want to marry a prince" thing is when the reality for so many women is *having* to be working mothers, personally I'm kinda mourning the loss of when I was a kid and I was told I could be a stay at home wife

There’s a Korean comic/novel that does the more step mother and sisters take really well called “I raised Cinderella Preciously” I actually like that take on the step mother and cinderella relationship as one of her daughters if your interested.

Does anyone remember "Ever after," or even more obscure "confession of an ugly stepsister". This version is honestly the backstory of many of the "Real housewives" on Bravo. A lot of those ladies have tragic, poor backgrounds. They impresses the right rich guy, and then Andy Cohen and become entrepreneurs.

I really appreciated the editing of the Somebody to Love comparisons.

I can't believe that I had never noticed that the women starting businesses in movies are always fashion designers... what is this girlbossery

OMG! I am so glad I'm not the only one so frustrated with the only jobs in 'girl-power' movies that women have are fashion-designer or dancer or something 'girly'. Why can't she be a journalist, a novelist, or even an engineer in any field?!

Meanwhile Ever After was a perfect "feminist" Cinderella. It remains my all time fave

"a girlboss is a wish your heart makes" would make a great t shirt

I still can’t believe the way they used Rhythm Nation in the opening, they twisted a fight the system song into a “we’re all in the system and we love it” song

The thing I hate most is there are some great British comedians in it! Rob Beckett, Doc Brown, James Acaster(My literal favorite comedian) and Romesh Ranganathan are all so good but they are in such a misguided, trite and frankly kind of boring movie

“What about my work?” In Disney’s Cinderella she did not have work, she was a slave lol

Is anyone else bothered by the casting of a gay man as the fairy? Like it didn't seem like a slur in the original but then the filmmakers were like what if we made this kind of a slur?

You should look into camila’s past about writing racist posts on tumblr and bullying Normani, I understand not having a strong opinion but that’s what turned me off to this movie immediately

I am really looking forward to seeing your channel blowing up. Content is great as per usual and I cackled during the second Glee callback.

Historically fashion design was just sewing bespoke orders. Celebrity fashion designers really didn't make their mark until the mid 20th century. There were a handful of exceptions that we can name but even if sewing for royalty it meant obscurity, and presiding over a work room paying sewisrs poverty wages, 16 hour work days with bad lighting, and charging your staff for broken needles and cuts of thread. I know Cinderella isn't historically accurate but for each famous designers there are 10000s tailors and dressmakers who are barely getting by.

This whole embarrassment could have been avoided if someone had shown the producers that Lindsay Ellis video about Cinderella

This is why I love the isekai manhwa about the main character reincarnating as the Stepmother and raising all her daughters lovingly. (its called I raised Cinderella preciously)

Ella enchanted already made this movie perfectly 18 years ago

I'll just be over here, crying, with the 2015 movie, the Disney animated movie, the 1957 musical with Julie Andrews, the 1997 musical with Brandy, and Ever After clutched protectively in my arms. LEAVE MY BABY ELLA *ALONE!!!*

Your Degrassi video came up in my recommended feed and, as is common for Degrassi fans as you said, I have ZERO real life friends who are fans of the show.. I watched that video this morning and I've been binging your channel ever since. Love your take on the YA genre.. as a millennial, it's just so nostalgic and comforting to find a channel where the creator shares my RANDOM opinions about media I grew up with that has been largely forgotten. I can't believe your channel is so small! Keep up the amazing work 🖤🖤🖤

Somebody at Amazon Studios must have dirt on Idina Menzel…there’s just no other explanation as to why she was a part of this garbage.

I still stand by Ever After as the best Cinderella film because Danielle was actually an empowering heroine. She was strong-willed, outspoken, and intelligent, but also highly affected by her stepmother’s emotional abuse and it was her escape from said abuse that made us root for her. She didn’t need to be a girlboss in order to be a feminist character. It was the fact that she rescued herself from abuse that made her a feminist character.

Finding your channel was the best accident I’ve ever made

Amazon didn’t produce the movie. Sony did and it was supposed to be a big theatrical release for them. Amazon bought it off their hands and right now Sony is no doubt heaving a sigh of relief that they aren’t saddled with it. They have Ghostbusters Afterlife to look forward to which, I must say, does look pretty damn awesome.

seriously.. i'm in my early 30s and have no previous awareness of this film, but you give me so much hope for the future - keep doin what ya do 💚

I think if any studio wants to "subvert" the story of Cinderella, they should try to expand/change the other aspects of the story instead of trying to make Cindy more "modern." Maybe make a story where the Step Mother is kind until her true colors get revealed after the ball. Or maybe one where the king is a cruel one, forcing his son to get married just to give him in a heir, and then trying to find and kill the girl who snuck into the ball, pushing the prince to find the girl who fit the slipper before his father does, and having Cinderella ultimately "save" the prince from the evil king and maybe liberating the kingdom. Like there's so many ways to go about it, despite every modern retelling feeling like "Cinderella doesn't need no man 😎"

that last part with the different songs was edited flawlessly i love it

When I saw this film I found myself more interested in background and side characters more than the main plot and characters. Which is sad. lol I kept hoping for that sassy choir to show up.

"GET OFF MY DAD!" was my favorite part of the entire film, personally

I always get a little emotional with any Happy Feet video, Brittany Murphy singing was glorious 🤧🤧 and I love that movie

Freddie would be shaking his head and disappointed about how this film butchered Somebody to Love

Rodger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1997) was the best live action adaptation IMO and it was ahead of its time. Diverse casting too. ❤️ I recommend watching this one over the new version any day.

something that bothered me the entire time while watching this movie, was how bad the framing was in so many shots. the shots were so basic and boring and there was terrible blocking in multiple shots. between these filming choices and lack of vocal editing with the singing, i just can't stand how half assed this movie was. this to me is also why the story/writing is so bad. it just feels so passionless and thoughtless on kay cannon's end. just completely phoned in. the only thing i truly liked about the film was the color grading.

This is such a good video! Really enjoyed your take and your critical thinking- I’ve watched a lot of these Cinderella reviews to save myself from watching the actual movie and this is the first one I’ve seen that really breaks down the connection between Amazon and the way it profits off Girlboss Feminism. Thank you!

Also, I would like to stop seeing James Corden everywhere 😑

literally so excited to see you posted

There are only 3 superior Cinderella movies: The Disney Animated Cinderella, The Brandy Version, and Ever After with Drew Barrymore!

Oh god I want to see an Emma roberts Cinderella. “Yes I was just crying and singing about it 2 minutes ago” gave me WILD Emma roberts vibes. Plus she’s been paired with billy porter before in stuff. She would have killed in this roll

10:28 can we talk about how the character in the musical this song is from was mocking her ex-fiance for thinking she was a golddigger but subsequent musicals always use it in a less nuanced way

Ella enchanted is my favourite Cinderella adaptation, if it even is one but not only bc it’s super nostalgic for me but the whole curse thing was her adventure and I think that’s cool (it’s based off a book, but they took a lot of creative liberties)

Getting a Cinderella ad through this video is dramatic irony I totally didn't want 😅

Isn't unions the thing that helps protect people from Amazons messed up ways of doing things?

One super cool thing about the movie Flashdance is that Beals works in a steel mill and not a coffee Shop or Dress Barn.

I agree, don't make another Cinderella movie unless you have something to add, but like, we all agree that the 2015 version is absolutely lovely and the dress made it 1000% worth it, right?

A real twist on cinderella would be that she keeps spoiling the step sisters chances at marriage but does it in a way to make it look like an accident to the point the audience doesn't notice , and when her chance comes the Prince rejects her as he has heard of the true kind of person she is.

Blech. Well done on breaking it down. I really enjoyed your perspective on this movie. Not that I would have watched it anyway.

Hey! I love love love this video! Just a quick note though, Monarchy's themselves are not patriarchal - the Indus Valley civilisations all started out Matriarchal, but we still had Monarchy's. The reason women weren't allowed to rule in ancient India was to check their power- while women hold the power in every home, even a Monarchs wife isn't allowed to interfere with political decisions; and so, a ruler has no excuse when it comes to fulfilling their job as Monarch. And because Monarchs in ancient India retired from the throne (its was purely a job because materialism(riches) take you away from spiritualism - King's retired from the positions they were born into, so they too could have a chance at salvation like everyone else in the world), it's not like a King could act different within his family unit, simply because he is King. If anyone is interested in more about how monarchies in Matriarchal countries worked- the Mahabharata is an Indian Epic about a great king who's only weakness was not seeing the flaws in one his own children. One bad succession decision plunged the India of the Epic into chaos for generations. - It was a cautionary tale to remind Kings of India, that while they are on the throne, all citizens of their country should be equal to their own children; and even a moment of emotional discrepancy can doom the rest of their children forever, if they aren't lucky enough for one of their descendants to end up being a better adjusted ruler than they were. It's quite a brutal, yet honest, and epic tale!

I personally think Cinderella III was already good and the live adaptation 2015 was good enough. Why?! Why make more?????!!!

Hi, I’m usually here for your Degrassi content, but I finally decided to branch out 😭😭😭 thank you for this, and thank you for your Degrassi dissertation

I hate criticism of old disney movies because it's always so 2000's shallow... "X princess had a man save her" yeah, and he was royalty and now that girl is going to be queen. Princess movies are marketed at young girls who love princess aesthetics and finding her romantic knight in shining armour. It's romance, it's cute. Snow White had met the prince for like 2 minutes of entire movie run time. The movie was about Jealousy and how it can make people very bitter. Snow White was cast out of her CASTLE that she was PRINCESS OF, found a seemingly abandoned cottage and said "fuck it, i'll live here then" and made the best of a situation. Cinderella was an abuse victim, tormented since childhood to be the slave of the family who her father accepted into the home. She took the message of be kind and gentle and eventually good things will come. She got her wish, one night away from the abuse and had a great time and would hold onto that memory for many more years to come. But she didn't need to because the Prince was smitten with her and even HE found love at first sight. It wasn't just about Cinderella. Both of these princesses ended up with a man at the end who "saved" them from the overall plot going on. But the characters themselves go through traumatic events that they perserve throough. How is this NOT empowering? "Hey young girl? just because life is really shit right now, doesnt mean it will always be like that. Push through it and things can turn out good" Nah sorry, the only way to empower women these days is to tell them "be basic looking, dont be interested in GIRL things like BOYS and body image! no no no, you must MUST own a business and reject help"

*No spoilers here.* The debate about the lack of originality in Hollywood productions has taken a new turn with CINDERELLA 2021. Am I saying that because it's based on a story that has already been brought to the big (and small) screen several times? No, I'm saying that because it tries to justify its existence by being a musical (combining original songs and covers) with a feminist angle, a diverse cast, current slang and self-aware jokes... but there have already been other adaptations that have done those things. Hell, some of the old radio hits have already been used in other jukebox musicals unrelated to this fairy tale! And the big irony is that the best scenes are the ones without any novelty. The ones that don't try to deconstruct, subvert or modernize anything. The ones that play everything straight. The title character being surrounded by magic as she gets a new dress, her dancing at the ball with Prince Robert, Queen Beatrice telling King Rowan how she really feels, etc. That's not to say there aren't any comedic moments that work, but they're not very frequent. In fact, James, John and Romesh (the mice) serve as comic relief and they're annoying! I couldn't enjoy the tenderness between Cinderella and Robert as they were walking outside the palace, because the movie kept cutting back to that trio doing dumb shit! Another major change to the story is the Fairy Godmother. They cast Billy Porter and he introduces himself as... the Fabulous Godmother. I added the ellipsis to the sentence so you'd have time to prepare yourselves before reading about this mind-blowing idea. It's as if humanity's concept of creativity was wrong all along and only now have we discovered the truth. Kidding aside, credit where credit is due, because he first appears as a butterfly and then transforms into a human, and I incorrectly predicted that he was going to wear fake wings. I appreciate the restraint. After all, even movies that are campy on purpose must have limits. Still, if you're not going to change the second part. of the name to Godfather (which I don't have a problem with), then why bother changing the first one? Why can't this gay man refer to himself as a fai--Ohhhh... Never mind. Over the past 10 years or so, I've seen musicals rely on auto-tune and it's infuriating! You would think that was going to happen again in the deliberately cheesy and light-hearted vehicle for a pop star. However, we get to hear Camila Cabello's voice in all its... Well, I can't really say "glory," because it sounds breathy and husky. That's usually reserved for dramatic musicals, because that way, the actor can express raw emotions, so it feels out of place here. That being said, it's still technically good singing. Not to mention how charismatic she is as an actress (despite not having any prior experience). None of the new compositions stand out and the new renditions (some are classics, others are quite recent) have very particular arrangements. Instead of performing the songs just as they are, winds and strings are employed to give each track a period piece sound. While it wasn't necessary for the atmosphere (after all, this is a fantasy setting), it does give the soundtrack its own identity. Also, it shows that writer/director Kay Cannon's priority wasn't pandering to the crowd that isn't interested in something that's not hip. The songs themselves sound good, but there are points where the actors are instructed to sing 1 or 2 verses differently. That doesn't work if the rhythm and the melody remain the same. I know that every music genre has its origins, but because of the different levels of sub-genres that have developed over the centuries, there are plenty of cases where the listener won't associate a composition with a culture in particular. That's what happens with most of the musical numbers here... so it's odd to make Jennifer López's LET'S GET LOUD (with its strong Latin American roots) the finale. That would've made more sense in a full-on Hispanic re-telling of the fairy tale. 4/10

Hey if you want a Cinderella who's a hard working woman but not a stereotypical fashion designer, the 'Lunar Chronicles' series' main character- Cinder- is a mechanic! The Lunar Chronicles is actually pretty good at the fractured fairytale thing imo, and the main character lives in Asia and is probably Asian (it's... not clear, but that's what everyone draws Cinder as even tho there's other complications for it??? idk. I like to imagine her as an Asian character too but I do acknowledge that's it's not exactly canon)

I’m not really sure I follow your point on capitalism. Thought I do believe that capitalism does not bring equality; as a matter of facts, capitalism in its fullest conclusion bring inequality, one or multiple persons hold power over others. Capitalism does however give way to freedoms, and from a third world country POV, I have to say…I don’t share the same sentiments that my peers do regarding this topic.

the only real Genre Savvy stuff I like is when it's done like in the Toy Story 3 horror short story, with the hedgehog commenting horror tropes

Your last line had me like “mmm can’t argue with that *subscribe*”

I'm sorry but Happy Feet ate all them movies up when it came to the song!

oof i was not ready for how rough those vocals were lmao

The fairy tale Cinderella tried to escape from her work abd became queen. The highest one can reach. Without being a demanding wannabe-girlboss, but with patience, hope and kindness; and some helpers, of course, as friends are important, too. This 2021 Cinderella literally demanded to be allowed to work. And you're right. Fashion is just such a cliche... And why always Cinderella? Why not doing a modern fairy tale with some other "strong women", there are plenty fairy tales with more clever and self-made characters.....

For me, the best "feminist" Cinderella is Ever After by Drew Barrymore. That Cinderella was bad ass

Amazon Studios would have enough to buy the rights to entire back catalogues they don't even have to spend money on original scores, so that's where they're lacking in their "original" shows and movies. Good Omens used Queen songs to the point it was actually obnoxious. It takes less time to adapt an original song that it would to write and perform brand new ones.

You want strong woman, watch Ever After (1998). Trully strong mentally and phisically.

first vid of you I've watched, instant sub!

Watch “Ever After” instead.

Ella was kind, she was hardworking, had empathy, and was looking for love, not wealth. Ella was a comrade.

you can't play piano as a woman?? smh cinderellie

In Disney’s Cinderella, Cinderella didn’t even care about the prince, she just wants to have a fun time at the ball and it’s just a coincidence that she ends up with the prince. She didn’t even know he was the prince until the end of the movie.

Yeah I agree. This movie fell flat, especially considering how many adaptations there have been. Most of the female characters are not even really given any substance. Actually I would argue that none of the characters truly are. And step family was actually pretty nice to Cinderella (who never even had cinder on her face so the nickname makes no sense), they let her do what she wanted and left her alone most of the time. There was real growth stemming from the fact that no one ever goes through any real tough times. And Ella is handed everything instead of working hard for it and making it on her own.

not the happy feet caption saying A PENGUIN sings somebody to love as if its not BRITTANY MURPHY

In all fairness (which does not seem to be as talked about) stories fr that era focused on men, typically end in the men getting married too. Admittedly, he usually has to go through some sort of bravery or intelligence character arc, but marriage was kind of the height of life if you were a single young adult in the medieval to victorian age. Given the suggested size of Cinderella's estate, having her want to become an architect would be pretty on brand I think.
