* FauxActionGirl: Gretel is supposed to be a smart and competent hunter who's killed many witches, but the only thing she ever does on her own is headbutt a man. She's not even able to be able to get away from normal men trying to beat her up, let alone the witches, and spends the movie being rescued by her brother, Edward, and pretty much everyone else besides herself.
