10 Worst Things Disney Heroes Have Done
2. Merida Changes Her Mother With A Potion - Brave
Although Brave is often lauded as a great tale for its portrayal of a strong female lead, we cannot forgive her for one act in particular.
In the interesting setting of medieval Scotland, we follow the fiery red-headed Princess, Merida, who often shirks her responsibilities in favour of hunting and exploring.
Merida discovers that her mother intends to have her married off to one of their clan's allies to strengthen the bond between them.
Obviously completely against this idea, Merida has a cunning plan.
An archery contest is held where the winner will become Merida's betrothed, but the young Princess, having been practicing her skills with a bow since the age of six, enters and wins her own hand in marriage.
After an argument with her mother, Merida flees into the forest.
Here, she encounters an old witch. They make a bargain, with Merida wishing for a potion to change her fate. The witch gives her a cake, indicating that it must be eaten by the Queen.
Upon returning, she gives her mother the cake, only for it to transform the Queen into a bear.
To summarise, Merida may have been in the right, but her actions were completely wrong and could have resulted in something far worse than becoming a bear for a bit.
