   In the newest Netflix movie “Damsel,” Millie Bobby Brown exchanges her waffles for a weapon. A glimpse into the sinister universe where Brown’s character Elodie transforms from princess to warrior is provided by the previously published sneak peek. 

   The days of “intithar,” or waiting for a prince to arrive, are long gone. This is a novel form of fairy tale, in which the heroine not only does not require saving, but also takes the initiative to carry out the murder. 

   The teaser suggests a treacherous planet. After Elodie accepts a seemingly endearing request, she finds herself in a dangerous circumstance. It seems that achieving happily ever after in this realm comes with a harsher price than one may anticipate—namely, having to face a fire-breathing dragon. 

  Elodie, armed with wit, willpower, and what looks like a very big sword, has to battle to survive. In the sneak peek, Brown is seen acting like an action heroine, pulling off stunts and brandishing her weapon with fierce abandon. 

   It remains to be seen if she defeats the dragon, but one thing is certain: this is not your ordinary princess tale. “Damsel” is a new interpretation of the beloved fantasy story, starring Millie Bobby Brown as a warrior princess who reinterprets the traditional definition of a “damsel in distress.”
