Childhood TV And Movie Heroes That Were Terrible Role Models

Megara From Hercules Is Oversensualized For A Children’s Movie

Megara from Hercules seems like she can take care of herself. However, her role model suitability for little girls is questionable. She is continually flirting with Hercules and other male characters, using her appearance to get what she wants.

Although there is nothing wrong with a girl being in touch with her sensuality, Meg might be a little much for a Disney film. It teaches young girls that if talking doesn’t always work with boys, that you can rely on your appearance and flirtation as fallbacks. This is probably not what you want to be teaching little girls at a young age.
