Reader’s Question:
What do you think about the fairies in the Pretty Cure series who seem to take advantage of the girls? It feels pretty harsh that they manipulate these innocent girls with their words, pushing responsibility onto them just because they can’t do anything themselves. And then they end up
mooching off the girls’ homes because they have nowhere else to go. Isn’t that really unfair? Am I wrong to think this way? What do you all think?
Thoughts on the Fairies in Pretty Cure
Hey there! So, I was just diving into a discussion about the Pretty Cure series and the role of those quirky fairies that seem to stir things up for the girls. You know, the ones that can sometimes feel a bit manipulative? I get where the original question is coming from. When you really think about it, these fairies often put a lot of pressure on these young girls, encouraging them to take on huge responsibilities that they might not be ready for. Imagine being a kid, and suddenly you have to save the world because a tiny creature tells you to! It’s like showing up to a party way too early, and instead of being welcomed in, you’re handed a broom and told to start cleaning. Kind of unfair, right? But then, I also see the other side of the coin. Take this year’s series, for example. Some of the fairies really step up and provide guidance, helping the girls discover their strengths and build friendships. There’s something really heartwarming about watching a character realize their potential, especially when they have that little fairy cheering them on. It’s like seeing a friend push you to go for that dream job you’ve always wanted—even if it means a few awkward moments along the way. I remember binge-watching a few episodes with my kiddo, and we both burst out laughing when one fairy tried to do a dramatic monologue about friendship and ended up tripping over their own feet. It’s those little moments that remind us how imperfect everyone is, including these magical beings. And honestly, I think those flaws make the characters more relatable. So, while I can see why some might think the fairies are taking advantage of the girls, I also believe they play a crucial role in their growth. These interactions often lead to beautiful transformations—both literally and metaphorically! I mean, who doesn’t love a good transformation sequence, right? What do you think, though? Have you had any memorable moments with the series? Or maybe you’ve had similar experiences with characters in other shows or even in real life? I’d love to hear your thoughts and any funny or touching stories you might have!
