Also remember that Gen X came of age as the Lib movement got in full swing - being a "nice" princess was suddenly a bad thing. We got Leia Organa, with her Stormtrooper-slaying pistol (latent Force powers to be revealed later), Diana "Prince" (aka Wonder Woman) with her "Lasso of Truth" and Invisible Jet, and Sarah Connor, who loses her "prince" to the "dragon" but defeats the monster herself, and only then fleeing to safety. No, not all kid-friendly, but then, as has been pointed out, that's been our deal since forever.
