Well, you could read The Last Psychiatrist; some of his posts are on the topic that the first one is just pseudo-feminism because if you pay attention, the protagonist does little or nothing except initially volunteer and then be helped by others.
I would like to issue an open invitation for anyone to name any book or movie (which I have already seen/read or feel like seeing/reading) with a protagonist I cannot damn as well as the Last Psychiatrist has apparently done with Katniss*. He's making shit up because it amuses him to take this contrarian position. There's nothing insightful here, just elegant bull.
*said damning may or may not take the form of feminist criticism, depending, although this is reasonably likely to be as good an approach as any
This could be interesting. In no particular order.
I'd add Saber and Irisviel from Fate/Zero, but I haven't seen it yet. No doubt you'd do a bang-up job on Fate/Stay Night's Saber.
The only thing you mention that I've seen is Princess Mononoke. (I watched part of Haibane Renmei but not all of it and barely remember the contents.) I'll brush up on Mononoke and get back to you.
ETA: It has become apparent that I do not have enough interest in this project to rewatch a movie. (Unlike reading a book, I can't really do that faster if I want.) Oh well.
His point wasn't that she was (necessarily) a bad character, just that she wasn't what the media and general public wanted her to be.
Cazaril, Curse of Chalion
of course I don't know if you've seen it.
Haven't seen it. What's it about?
