"In the 15 years since its release, it’s become increasingly clear that the film marked a turning point in terms of portrayals of female characters on screen, acting as a death knell for the ‘Manic Pixie Dream Girl’." It's so weird that you sometimes see opinions that 500 Days of Summer started the MPDG trope when it absolutely destroyed it and put the main character syndrome of certain "sensitive guys" front and centre. While also being bloody funny. https://www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/63109/1/how-500-days-of-summer-killed-the-manic-pixie-dream-girl
