Argubly speaking some fans like myself disagree that Merida should be in the franchise. No offense but some fans literary find it offensive, in a similar belief to that of Mulan's & its very controversial. There are many reasons: 1. Owned by a different company & what if that said company left Disney someday? 2. Has a bad incluence of disobeying parents & its like its disobeying the 5th commandment "Honor thy mother & father". I'm not literary being positive with strict & abusive parents but I'm just telling one biblical rule children forgot these days as some of them are now dishonoring their parents. Some parents really dislike the idea of her in the franchise. 3. A tomboyish/action-themed character who is awesome like her doesn't fit in a "girly" stuff. Some Brave fans did not like this. Placing a feisty character with no "girly traits" into a group of damsels in distress who just does nothing but to rely help from their princes is clearly a bad idea. Its like you just added a useful & powerful figure into a group of useless cowards who can't do anything at all other that beating up the said figure the way they wanted to (No offense to Disney Princess fans, I'm just telling my opinion here). If you really want to earn more money, Merida should be placed on a different Disney franchise that is at least isn't "girly" at all, something much like that of Disney Heroines or Disney Adventurers instead, anything that won't offend some people in the public. 4. Disney redesigned her with a "girly" appearance & getting rid of her awesome appearance is very insulting. They portrayed her as a "female fashionist" stereotype, which people didn't like at all. Some true Brave fans are offended by this. Its like you just turned Superman into an annoying girl's toy, similar to how Cartoon Network turned the Teen Titans into a bunch of idiots for a just for laughs show.

BTW, the "awful" stuff about Merida that I was talking about is in the link above. Watch at your own risk.
