Easter Break :)

So its easterrr! and I finally have time to catch up on my work and do some research into my future prospects and such. But it also gives me time to take a breather, which is good. I know the importance of a good work/play balance, trust me.
So today I had a break and watched some good old Disney films. <3 I like most children grew up watching these, so its nice to get all nostalgic.
The one I wanted to talk about here though was Tarzan. More specifically I wanted to talk about a character that I totally loved. I suppose I didn't really think about the characters much when I was younger, because I was focusing on the story. But watching it again I realised what an awesome character Jane Porter was.

Now you may totally laugh at me for this but I think she is pretty good. I wish there were more female characters like her in games. From most of the games I have played in the past five years or so the women in it are a bit irritating from my point of view (a few aside such as Elena Fisher (uncharted) and Maddison Rose (heavy rain) The Boss (metal gear)).
My main example being Lightning from the Final Fantasy series. Shes such and emotional tight arse, so militant and stuck up, is this meant to be whats meant by strong women? I hope not. I hate it women think in order to be viewed as strong you have to act like a bloke.
I liked Jane so much because although she might be viewed as a bit ditsy and physically weak but I think she's a great female character, shes intellectual, passionate, charming, ambitious, emotionally aware, determined, warm and feminine. I think all these qualities make her a character NOT a cardboard cut out of please insert strong female here.


Being strong isn't about being physically strong or emotionally cold. Its about being strong minded, determined and getting what needs to be done, done. All the time staying true to who you are through the tough decisions and tragedies.
Whoa that was deep..
