I draw the line at considering Deliverance to be misogynistic because it doesn't endorse an active hatred of women by casting them as villains by default (as Ben Steed does with Pella in Power).
If you have the time and inclination, will you clarify in what way Pella is a villain _by default_? Because I often wonder if a major reason that Power doesn't bother me as much as it does some people (although there are bits that _do_ bother me) is because I see Pella as a villain because (to me) she's villainous.
