"Strong" Females, Again
I was planning to write about pie but this has been bugging me.
So today I was thinking about what specifically grates me about Phila. I have downright negative feelings toward her-- not merely "meh," but more like, "Sucks." As in, I feel kind of slighted when people do like her. Stupid but true.
I mean, I understand liking an underdeveloped character; witness my soft spot for Norne even before FE12 came out and gave her a bit more dialogue. I have headcanoned Norne to a crazy extent. Her brief turn on FE11's stage charmed me. So yeah, I completely get latching onto a character regardless of development or dimensionality.
But then I circled back to an essay on Disney characters that I read a few days ago and mostly did like but had some misgivings about.
( Long. Annoyed. )
