Oh, God, and Nicky Cage is playing a Crusader, too. CRUSADERS DID NOT HAVE ANY KIND OF MORAL AUTHORITY, HOLLYWOOD, JFC.

Of course she does! We all know that any woman who embraces her sexuality is eeeevil, so of course it's natural for evil women to use their sexuality against poor helpless men!

It's really depressing to see how little we've progressed in the last six hundred years.)
