I don't think I was supposed to have the reaction I did to walking into the room full of captives in Kingdom Hearts. :p I'm not sure what reaction they were going for, exactly, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't "Why don't any of the women in this game have any AGENCY?"

Seriously! I mean, yes, a lot of those women have always been damsels in distress, but not Alice! And Belle and Jasmine weren't as badly off as all this!

Then there's the OCs. Sora gets to be the protaganist, Riku gets to be a villain and Kairi gets to be... an inanimate object. Not cool, Square. NOT COOL.

Even the guest characters! The only female guest character is Ariel. Would it have KILLED them to give some of the females some sort of agency? Other than... MALEFICIENT?

The game is fun, but it would be even funner if it didn't spark things like this. :p

Also, my second choice Maria won. I wanted Janna to win, but I'm quite happy with Elicia. Also, Andrew Lloyd-Webber delights me beyond words. Him and the host! "I really see you as more of a Mary Magdalene. I don't know how to love you, Gavvers!" :p
