Xenafication: Difference between revisions

* Hermione Granger was plenty proactive in the ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' books, but a lot of it was mental work that apparently doesn't "count". The [[Harry Potter (film)|films]], ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)|Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' especially, have made her into what fans call the [[Power Rangers|"Pink Power Granger"]], thanks to the infamous pink hoodie she was wearing as she demonstrated this trope. Though to be fair she did get action scenes in the book even if they weren't as over-the-top as in the films.

* Daphne was played by [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Sarah Michelle Gellar]] in the [[Scooby-Doo (film)|''Scooby-Doo'' movies]]. That just about says it all.

* Susan Pevensie in the ''[[Chronicles of Narnia]]'' series of movies. In ''The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'', she has a scene devoted to training, while she's never seen fighting in the book (despite being stated in ''Prince Caspian'' that she ''was'' already trained in bowmanship). In fact, when she is given her bow by Santa Claus in the book, she is expressly told not to use it, because "''[[Stay in the Kitchen|battles are ugly when women fight]]''". Also, in the scene when the wolf attacks, she gives herself and Lucy time to escape by throwing a blanket at it. In the book, she just climbed up a tree and nearly fainted—though it's understandable, because would '''you''' be super coolheaded when a [[Big Badass Wolf]] who doubles as [[The Dragon]] is chasing you? Surely you wouldn't, kids.

** In ''[[Chronicles of Narnia|Prince Caspian]]'', we have a horseback scene, though that is just a sample of her badassitude, as she was basically transformed into a brunette [[The Lord of the Rings|Legolas]]. Although Susan was an archer [[Action Girl]] in the books, too, it wouldn't have been as visually impressive because she [[Actual Pacifist|disliked fighting]], while the movie character [[Lady of War|didn't have a problem with it]].
