"You're clearly not a Merida fan, if you think she tried to kill her mom. I think about Merida as the perfect role model, mostly because she is like real teens. There is no person in this world who is like previous ten Disney Princesses, because they are perfect. Merida on the other hand is the person who have many flaws, but she changed and learn from her mistakes. Who is better role model for children? Cinderella, who was perfect and ideal from beginning? Or Merida, when thanks to her children can see that it's okay for them to makes mistakes, but it's really important to try to fix all the problems. Also, Merida was always there for her family and risked everything to save her mother. At the end of the movie, she is more mature. She is the only Disney Princess people can relate to in 100%."

I'm just stating what I've read, and one of the reviewers did indeed claim that she tried to kill her mom or at least poison her, and this one of the people who liked the movie.

And most real teens do not deliberately try to murder their parents or poison them. In fact, the teens that do so have serious issues and are definitely not normal at all. And BTW, Ariel at least was indeed relatable to most teenagers, far moreso than Merida in fact, and was by no means perfect, though unlike Merida, she doesn't deliberately try to get her father cursed. And while Belle is played up as perfect, she was even more flawed. And Snow White was indeed flawed in regards to naivety (which got her poisoned).

And based on how poorly Brave was reviewed by several people on this site, and others (even on Breitbart, where the main review itself was generally positive, the other reviews were scathing), I'm doubtful most people related to her.
