But, in response to what you wrote, I'll believe that when it's revealed that Nora's father is Odin, or when Yang breaks into a bear's house, or when it's revealed that Ruby's grandma was eaten by a wolf. I don't have the time nor inclination to respond to every single post here and I am not cherry-picking. A lot of posts are rehashing things I already responded to plenty of times or attacking strawmen (most of your post). That remark was the only thing I felt was worth addressing. People not liking the character is fine, but don't make up unlikely reasons to paint the character as bad. While the characters aren't a one-to-one match to their inspiration, they do have references to them and some more strongly than others.

However, I am also not talking about a one-to-one match. Cinder didn't go to some ball, win over the heart of a prince, and live happily ever after with the man of her dreams. Instead of a fairy godmother who would help her find happiness, she got a wicked witch who promised her power beyond anything she could ever imagine. All we know is how Cinder is after meeting Salem, not how she was before and that is the most important part.
