Revenge is Personal: Fivel Stewart Talks Friendship and Revenge In Apple TV+'s New Series 'ROAR'

Revenge is personal. In an exclusive interview with the lead of this episode, Fivel Stewart, she brilliantly condensed the episode into a brilliant phrase: "Not everyone's revenge looks the same." Rather than painting with a sweeping, over-generalizing brush, ROAR continues to get specific in ways that, rather than alienating their audience, inspire them to think.

It is shown in movies, television shows, and books time and time again a hero seeking revenge on the person who has wronged them. They become licensed with a specific kind of wrath and set out to accomplish their revenge. Furthermore, when it comes to a traditionally female character taking revenge, she disguises herself as a man to prove that she can do anything the men can do. Such a plotline is explored in the new anthology series ROAR. Yet, in the promise the show continues to fulfill, the episode The Girl Who Loved Horses, takes this revenge trope and turns it immediately on its head.

Stewart even shared that, to herself, saying, "Instead of getting just so angry, and so mad, and trying to prove my point, and if you hurt me then I hurt you– I think just stepping back, and just realizing that, like, life happens, and overtime, it will be okay. And I think that's the greatest lesson in The Girl Who Loved Horses."
