It seems to me that so often it's up to women to see beneath the beastly exterior to the heart of the person inside while the beast just gets to fall in love with a beautiful and sweet woman who is super easy to fall in love with, thus requiring little actual effort to see beneath the surface of anythingAmalia Dillinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005039978668326144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-28805362683934822962014-02-19T21:53:18.871-05:002014-02-19T21:53:18.871-05:00...wow.

Tokenism or not, those female characters served an absolutely essential role.

Even if little boys weren't rooting for the Token Girl to hook up with one of the "monsters," clearly having the women as main characters didn't detract from the popularity.
