LRRH and Goldilocks, for example, both involve little girls going to a house in the woods and being Pwned by a fearsome beast. SnowWhite and B&B have less similarities with those and each other, but still.

Achilles and Mulan and Jeanne were soldiers, and in the case of the former and latter they had quite the big achievements in life. Both Joan and Mulan were women who disguised as men to fight. Both Achilles and Thor were divine (semi-divine in Achilles's case, but still). So the similarity, the ties, are more than just "crossdressers" within JNPR.

No need for making the games have a common theme to them when the theme is specifically video game franchises that branched out to other media and has been right from the start. That's the theme.....doesn't mean all the choices fit well standing alongside each other.
