Queen Elinor (voiced by Thompson and said to be based on Brave’s original creator and director Brenda Chapman) is the most nuanced and therefore the most engaging character.
Happy Mother's Day: watch a clip from Brave When Merida ruins the tournament and asks a witch to change her fate, it is the Queen we fear for, not mouthy Merida. Perhaps this is the point: Merida has to go through an awful teenage hateful stage before she becomes a character we care about. Mostly though, she's skilled, selfish, stupid, sneaky and shouty.
By Brave 2, we’d adore her - except there probably won’t be a Brave 2 given its difficult birth. After 17 years, Pixar finally hired a female director. Chapman originated Brave, basing Merida on her own daughter. Then, for reasons not made public, Chapman was taken off the film and now shares the directing credit with Mark Andrews and Steve Purcell. It is hard to argue that Brave would be a rip-snorting hit if Chapman had remained because it doesn’t take a female director to tell a satisfying female story. It is fair to say, however, that Brave is a shadow of what it should have been – but then that's applicable to 90 percent of all films ever made. (Their directors would agree.)īut Brave has brilliance. On an artistic level, it’s revolutionary. This bonus will apply until you reach a Glory rank indicative of your skill level.Tart, smart visual and verbal detail lingers to be admired: the witch’s bad carving, the mesmeric will’o’the wisps and the rough charm of the clans are only a few. Competitive PvP has a skill bracket catch-up mechanic where the game will increase your Glory earnings if you're fighting enemies well below your skill level. These values can be altered based on your skill level. However, the ELO/skill catch-up mechanic for Glory is still present (explained below).īelow are the values for winning a game while a Glory Win Streak is active. The Glory Win Streak bonus is linear, regardless of what rank you are. Even if you have a high Win Streak when you lose a game, your Glory rank will still decrease. Losing a match will drop your Glory Win Streak by two. This streak will increase for each win until you reach five consecutive wins, at which point the bonus will cap out. For each Glory match you win, your next win in the Glory playlist will grant additional Glory. Instead of an Activity Streak system, Glory matches use what's called a Win Streak.
