Roar review: You\u2019ll never look at ducks in the same way again<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\u201cPeople keep asking what I think of the episode, which makes sense because I worked on it and this is part of my job,\u201d she said. \u201cBut the truth is I\u2019m a lot more interested in what the people who watch it and experience what we made feel about it. And <\/span>I\u2019m nervous about it, honestly. I\u2019m nervous to hear how it is received. I\u2019m scared.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nShe added: \u201cI hope people feel it was worthwhile. <\/span>I hope people feel it\u2019s treated with respect. I hope people don\u2019t feel that because it is a story told in a container that has a bit of a gloss on it, or comes off a certain way in the beginning, that it is not being treated seriously because we certainly did take it seriously.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Beneath the absurd, comical facade is a story about domestic abuse, which disproportionately impacts women. Wever\u2019s character suffers both emotionally and physically at the hands \u2013 or wings, in this instance \u2013 of her partner, who seamlessly disguises his true nature when the pair first meet at a local park. But over time, the mask drops and his cruelty is revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a woman who is at a very uncertain point in her life,\u201d she explained. \u201cEven though she\u2019s incredibly intelligent and incredibly confident and capable, she\u2019s feeling a little disconnected from both herself and her family. And she meets this duck, who feeds her and she thinks the duck is feeding her good things, but she finds by the end of the story that the duck is feeding her bad things and she learns to feed herself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
