I'm not sure what your point is with Strange Magic, since Bog and Marianne are actually different species. All Marianne's species (fairies) look like her, and while Bog is a bit unusual for his species (goblins, iirc) in having wings, he's still fairly par for the course otherwise. It's actually explicit in the movie that they don't fit each other's standards of beauty (Marianne being weirded out by Bog's previous crush on a goblin woman), but fell for each other's personalities after realising how much they had in common in that sense.

Well, okay, but the creators still chose to make the female character the one who fits human beauty standards. Which always is what happens. See, for example, underworld where the vampires are always sexy and the werewolves are not and it is the vampire who is the female main character. Yes, there are male vampires. But it doesn't change the fact that the female main character is a vampire and the male one a werewolf rather than the other way around.

Yeah, that's true, and a fair point, but I thought the secret was talking about the in-universe beauty standards? Strange Magic did its work setting those up and actually showing us that each race thinks of beauty primarily in relation to themselves, even the main characters. Marianne's first love was a gorgeous male fairy (if also a cheating asshole) and Bog's first love was a goblin woman who looked pretty much like a frog (and who also wasn't interested). They didn't go around pining for a different kind of beauty, they both had to learn to look beyond their species limits.

This is a good point that I think a lot of discussions about this issue miss.

Unrelated but I just want to say that female werewolves own

[philstar22]

I'd like werewolves more if there were more female werewolf main characters (especially paired with male or female vampires or the like).
