History Fridge / SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman

* Notice how William speaks in a more clipped IAmVeryBritish type of voice when [[spoiler:Ravenna is impersonating him]]. She just knows that he is the Duke's son, so she expects him to speak like a noble. She doesn't know he's a rebellious prince.
** William's behavior makes ''much'' more sense overall when it's shown that [[spoiler:"he" is actually Ravenna]]. He describes his childhood relationship with Snow White as him being incredibly devoted to her and following her anywhere, while Snow White only remembers him teasing her. When he gives her the apple, he clearly has no memory of the prank he used to play, when he would pretend to offer her an apple only to eat it himself. He also is considerably more eloquent and forward with his feelings, when before he had a lot of trouble speaking to her. [[spoiler:Ravenna really ''wouldn't'' know William and Snow White's history. She also heavily relies on [[HoneyTrap seducing men to gain power]], so it makes sense that she'd be familiar with what men say to woo women.]]

* Snow White's {{Adorkable}} dancing with Gus. She's been locked in a tower for most of her life; she's probably never been taught how to dance, as a princess normally is.

^ The mirror's promise to Ravenna - "Take her heart in your hand and you shall never again need to consume youth. You shall never again weaken or age." - technically ''does'' come true, in a way. She metaphorically "took Snow White's heart in her hands" when she broke the girl's heart, forcing her to watch her supporters being massacred. And as a consequence of that, Snow White killed her, thus ensuring that she never ''would'' need to suck the youth from her victims, and would only weaken and age ''once'' - fatally - and never again. It was Ravenna herself who assumed the mirror was talking about immortality rather than death, and that the salvation Snow White would be for her was her salvation from continued evil rather than from aging.

* Kristen Steward seems like a somewhat odd chioce to play the "Fairest of them All", at least against Charlize Theron. (she's nothing to scoff at, it's just the comparision.) But a) is it Snow White's inner beauty that's more important, which Ravenna doesn't see or care about. b) It's the mirror who tells her about Snow White being more beautiful than her. The mirror - unlike her other magicks maybe is not perceived by others, even when she's talking to it with her brother next to her (Finn is not mirrored in the Mirror Man... thing). So, Snow White being declared "The Fairest" is only in Ravenna's head. Why? Because she knows Snow White's the rightful heir and is now grown and old enough to challenge her. Finn probably told her about how stubborn she is... so she translates this fear into the only thing she's consciously afraid of: that she's not the most beatiftul woman (and thus, the one most likelyto come into power with her schemes) anymore. Her perception of Snow White as Fairest Of Them All has jack dung to do with Snow Whites actual looks, one way or another.
