History Heartwarming / JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle

* This movie involves a girl ending up in the body of a man (JackBlack, to be precise), ''and'' being a comic relief. It was a dangerous territory to walk. Despite that, both the movie and the actor play off pretty well, avoiding the most obvious or tasteless jokes (even in the funny moments about the anathomical differences the fun comes from how ''excited'' Bethany is about the discoveries), and JackBlack never stereotypes the character too much. When she teaches Martha how to flirt, the fun comes exclusively from how clueless Martha is. Also, the other character show no issue in thinking of her as a girl. [[spoiler: It's most noticeable in Alex, who meets her outside the game only afterward.]]

** And when the BigBad tries to hold her hostage, threathening to shot her if they don't give him the jewel (she's only one life left), she tells them not to accept before the other can even finish. Compare with Alex and Spencer, whose ([[RealityEnsues pretty understandable]]) fear of losing is shown and it takes them some time to overcome it.

** And when the BigBad tries to hold her hostage, she immediately tells the other not to give him the jewel. Notice that it'd mean for her to lose her last life.
