                • Deception (50%)
                  The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Millie Bobby Brown performed her own stunts 'from start to finish' in Damsel. However, this statement is not supported by any evidence provided in the article and it seems unlikely given the complexity of some of the stunts depicted in the film.
                  • Millie Bobby Brown proudly performed her own stunt work in her fantasy-action film Damsel.
                • Fallacies (85%)
                  The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by stating that Tom Cruise is the coolest and does most of his own stunts. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Millie Bobby Brown's performance as 'scary' and comparing it to Tom Cruise level stuff, despite there being no evidence presented in the article to support this comparison.
                  • Tom Cruise is the coolest
                  • Millie Bobby Brown did her own stunts from start to finish
                • Bias (85%)
                  The author of the article is Millie Bobby Brown who has a history of performing her own stunts in movies. The author's statement that she felt like Tom Cruise while doing her own stunts and referred to herself as the female version of him shows an example of gender bias.

                    • Damsel is largely missing tactility required to keep viewers invested through stunts alone. Every performer gets at least one chance to seem stilted or off-energy, which tells us that laying blame at their feet might be unfair.
