3. Quorra Could Be The Most Awesome Disney Princess
I'm going to say what, at least in my limited capacity of knowledge, no one else has said before: Quorra deserves to be a Disney Princess. It sounds a little weird at first, but here me out. Picture Ariel: living in her underwater world, mindful and eager to go into the world outside, eyes always alight with wonder. Now picture Mulan: tough and ready for battle, she can fight like the best of them, but isn't so hardened that she can't fall in love. Mix those two princesses together, throw in a healthy dose of Cyberpunk and Rapunzel from Tangled, and you've basically got Quorra. Olivia Wilde's character could have very simply been the hot female lead that wanted Sam Flynn the moment they locked eyes. Instead, writers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis created a stronger role model for young girls to look up to, as well as a Disney Princess that the boys wouldn't mind tagging along with for an adventure or two. To further extend the metaphor of the Flynn "kingdom", she could have been the damsel in distress. Yet when we first meet her, it is she who saves Sam from death at the hands of CLU. It is she who brings him to his father, and in the end it is she who is around to help him get back onto the track of the life he should be living. It is because of the fact that she's tough, smart, and loyal; with an unflappable whimsy and curiosity for the world outside of her own, that Quorra is worthy of being crowned a true Disney Princess.
