In the movie "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters," the main characters, Edward and Gretel, are portrayed as brutal witch hunters. Alongside their skill in combat, the siblings possess unique witch names that reflect their connection to the world of witches. Edward, also known as Hansel, is called the "White Witch" due to his ability to use white magic, which contrasts with the dark magic used by most witches. This name emphasizes his role as a hunter who fights against evil forces. On the other hand, Gretel, also known as the "Black Witch," possesses a mysterious and dark presence, reflecting her determination to eradicate witches. These witch names not only add depth to the characters but also highlight their roles as formidable witch hunters in the movie.
I agree that the movie passes the test.
Similarly, when they are injured, neither simply wipes the blood away and is perfectly fine, showing wounds lasting across the few days over which the majority of the movie takes place. The scenes with the witches flying their broomsticks in the forest and running into trees are very reminiscent of the speeder bike chase in Return of the Jedi.
These witch names not only add depth to the characters but also highlight their roles as formidable witch hunters in the movie..

Reviews for "Witch Names and Gender Roles in Edward Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters"
1. Jane Doe - 1/5 stars - "I was extremely disappointed with 'Edward Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters Witch Names'. The movie had a convoluted plot, with weak character development and a lack of continuity. The witches themselves felt like caricatures rather than genuine threats, lacking any depth or real motive. The action sequences were overly choreographed and lacked any real intensity. Overall, I found the movie to be a dull and mindless experience that failed to engage me in any meaningful way. I would not recommend it."
2. John Smith - 2/5 stars - "I had high hopes for 'Edward Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters Witch Names', but sadly it fell short of my expectations. The story had potential but was executed poorly, with a lack of creativity and originality. The dialogue was cliché and the acting felt forced, with the characters lacking any real depth. The special effects were also unimpressive, particularly the CGI used for the witches. While the action sequences provided some entertainment, overall the movie felt like a missed opportunity. I would only recommend it if you're looking for mindless entertainment with no substance."
3. Sarah Johnson - 2/5 stars - "I found 'Edward Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters Witch Names' to be a disappointment. The movie relied heavily on its over-the-top action sequences, which were exciting initially, but soon became repetitive and uninspired. The story lacked coherence, with plot holes and unresolved subplots. The characters were one-dimensional, leaving me uninvested in their fates. I had hoped for a unique twist on the classic fairy tale, but instead, the movie delivered a generic and forgettable experience. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this one."
