“A” reminds me of something
F*CK. I just now got the “Howell” thing. I feel like I’ve been personally attacked or witnessed a capital crime.
And his father, Lyall Lupin, which means Wolf Wolf. And his mother, whose maiden name was Howell.
You’re kidding, right? Do you have any idea how much Christianity gets puled into anime alone? It already happened. Look up “Sins of the Sisters” it’s a wild ride about the crusades, time travel, the pope being evil and sending crusaders to their deaths for evil reasons (or to have them sold in slavery), and a false…
The “friendly native” stereotype is negative because it’s usually there to imply that they were naive and overly trusting which led to their downfall. Or in some cases it’s the native version of the “magical negro” where they are portrayed as being everyone’s spiritual fairy godparents and never having there own…
Are...are you seriously comparing actual real Native American current beliefs with...house elves?
Close... “Dragon Badfaith.”
I’m pretty sure it’s a still-living religion, too. So less “was at some point” and more “is”.
What the heck? Writing them as benevolent is a /negative/? She would have been called out for writing them as savage, and called out for writing them as flat for walking a middle ground.

I had to stop reading your review right here. You find this offensive? So, you would have rather she portray them have an affinity for…
Did it turn out Bad Snake was a clone of his father? Who turned out to be part of some secret wizard mercenary group called Magiciens Sans Frontières, all the while pinning for his mentor The Wizard?

So stupid and trite after all of her wonderful names and descriptions in Potter.
Since I had to create a burner just to like this I’ll jump in to add - as much as I love Rowling and the Potter books - the no-maj makes me not want to even see the movie. So stupid and trite after all of her wonderful names and descriptions in Potter.
