Daniel’s decided he has better things to do in life, so Anna moves out from behind the camera to discuss the damsel in distress character type with Josiah. Is the damsel in distress a worn stereotype that should just be thrown out, or is it possible for even a damsel in distress to be a compelling character? We tackle this question and more in this video!
Previous Stereotypes:
Love it, guys. Great work, as always. I can’t wait for the next video— sounds extremely interesting. This is very much a great discussion.
And what’s wrong with Let it Go???? It’s loads of fun to sing— all those high notes and long holds. What’s not to love???
And no, that was not sarcasm. 😀
Oh, if it wasn’t clear in the video, I actually like the song a fair bit. ;P One of my favorite Disney movies.
Oh my goodness, I thought Anna was kidding about you liking Let it Go! ???? But it’s awesome that you do! Frozen is my absolute favorite Disney movie. ????
Anyway though, this video was hilarious and very insightful. ????????
I know; it’s great, isn’t it? Slightly kidding around about how regularly I sing it, but… 😉
I’m pretty sure that is the hardest any of your videos have ever made me laugh.
I always thought the Damsel is Distress was a ridiculously overused stereotype, but you made some good points. There are some female characters I hadn’t thought of as damsel in distress up until now just because they tried to take action. This was great! I can’t wait for the next!
Haha, that’s great! Glad to hear it. 🙂
This is hilarious, not to mention informative and helpful! I love the beginning scene; it’s so true. “A good princess waits for the prince.” 😛
Yesss… We had a good bit of fun shooting that scene. 🙂
Haha, I’m sure. 😛
Yeah, Anna. You get to be in front of the camera. Got to do this, #bringAnnaback. 🙂
Awesome video though, I wrote a story recently with the damsel in distress as my main character. It was loads of fun to do. 😀
Can’t wait till the next video. Keep up the great work.
Lol, yes! I’ll be passing that along to her and Daniel. 😉 Glad to hear that using that character for your MC worked so well! We definitely need some more good examples of this in fiction.
LOL! This is great. XD Awesome job, y’all! The theatrics at the beginning were my favorite. xD
Thanks Sarah! Few things work better than satiricial skits to point out stereotypes IMO. 😉
