I decided to add an Artikel to this Wand since no one posts Artikel on here that often. This is only something I noticed in the films and this is not saying I do not Liebe Derek as a character. I really do Liebe Derek, he's flawed and makes mistakes but always fixes them. For a brief time, I hated him for this but he's human and now I'm starting to like him again. The reoccurring theme that I've noticed in these Filme is that Derek always seems to start the problems indirectly and that they give him the stereotypical persona "that all men mess up all the time". No doubt it's the villains that always create the problems but I feel like in every movie Derek contributes to it. Here are some examples:



Exhibit A: The schwan Princess
We all know the famous line "What else is there?" Von Derek. It's his memorable how to offend women in less than five syllables moment. It makes Derek seem like the kind of guy that only cares about how a woman looks and not how she is on the inside. This is one of the biggest reasons I have a hard time loving Derek. Von saying this, Derek makes Odette feel like he doesn't Liebe her for the right reasons and she leaves, leading to the problem of the story. Can I just Liebe Rogers' face after Derek says that quote?




Exhibit B: The schwan Princess II: Escape from schloss Mountain
In this film, Derek is depicted as the guy that gets to attached to work and forgets what is really important. I mean he ignores his wife and his mother's fiftieth birthday!(I can't believe she is only fifty, she looks Mehr like sixty) He also keeps telling his wife that she can't go with him, when she clearly proved at the beginning of the movie that she can be helpful to bring along. So when Derek has to leave the palace in Suchen of his mother that left because everyone forgets her birthday, Derek tells Odette to stay put once again. After this Odette starts to wonder where the man she fell in Liebe with went and soon enough she gets captured. Realizing she has to go save Derek she turns back into a schwan again and the conflict of the movie starts.




Exhibit C: The schwan Princess: The Mystery of the Verzaubert Treasure
Yet another bad male stereotype is portrayed Von Derek in this film. I can't really describe the stereotype he portrays in this movie. It's kind of like a guy who can't get rid of a hobby oder thinks that he knows best, I'm not really sure. Derek decides to hold on to the forbidden arts in case they ever need it in this movie. Odette tells him it's a bad idea but he holds on to them and the villain in this movie, Zelda then goes on to create conflict in this movie that wouldn't have occurred if Derek hadn't kept the forbidden arts.




Now don't get me wrong, Derek is a good character with good intentions and always finds a way to fix the problem Von the end of the movie. I know that without conflict there is no movie, I just wish that the producers of the films didn't make Derek seem like the bad guy in every movie. I might be the only one that thinks like this but I would Liebe to know what everyone else thinks about this. One other point I would like to make is that every film in the series end the same way. There's a happy yay for Odette moment. A silly happy moment and then Derek says something very sweet and romantic to Odette.
