Bella from Twilight was written by a woman, and consumed mostly by women.
- Amadou 13y agoSeems to me that Bella, and Twilight in general, are very anti-feminist. She's only strong when it is a plot-point to get herself into trouble where she can be rescued by a man. The movies struck me as the worst sort of teenage princess fantasy.
- Tichy 13y agoOf course, but the claim was heroines are only shallow because they are written by men. Also Bella's case might indicate that it's simply not worth it for Hollywood to create deeper characters, because the shallow ones sell better.
