Recently, i've started to become re-interested in the Swan Princess movies, and while i find that there are a lot of good things to like about these movies, one factor keeps dogging me; the falling out scene in the first movie. I refer to the scenes where Derek and Odette have a falling out over something Derek said (I know what he said by the way, so don't bother mentioning it), and while i can understand Odette's reaction (it would be sexist not to), it still bothers me (and i didn't even watch the whole scene).


Such is the way of things for me; when something in a movie didn't sit well with me as a child, it was somewhat easily overshadowed by something else. Yet now, when something doesn't sit well with me in a show and/or movie, it really doesn't sit well with me, and it won't leave my thoughts either.
 
What, specifically, bothers you about that scene?

Hmm... To be honest, I'm not entirely sure: maybe it's because it's too easy for my mind to make this sexist scene worse or maybe, it's because i find it kind of sad that Derek and Odette were just starting to warm up to each other, only for a mistake by our "hero" to ruin it. Like i said; i see Odette's side in this, though (it would be sexist not to).
 
I've only seen the first two movies. The first was great compared to the second, which was..."meh".
