Distaff Counterpart: Difference between revisions

* A person wrongly convicted of murdering their spouse, escaping from custody, determined to track down those responsible, pursued—and eventually aided—by an equally determined lawman played by [[Tommy Lee Jones]]? No, not [[The Fugitive|Richard Kimble]]. [[Double Jeopardy|Libby Parsons]]. The filmmakers tried to jazz it up by having the spouse in question having faked his death and having Libby escape from parole rather than prison, but viewers and critics weren't fooled. There's a reason ''[[Double Jeopardy]]'' is referred to as "The Female Fugitive", to the point where people genuinely needed to be reminded that it was ''not'' another sequel.

* Shiori in ''[[Black Butler (film)|Black Butler]]'' is a female version of Ciel, the main character of the [[Black Butler (manga)|manga of the same name]], of which the movie is an [[In Name Only]] adaptation. Shiori is noticeably less competent than her similar-looking male counterpart and very prone to being a [[Damsel in Distress]].
