I'm no Disney expert but Belle is the only worthy Princess of the bunch

She wanted to pursue knowledge, not a boy or just fun; she dropped everything to save her dad instead of causing his death or dethronement; she was fully aware how disgusting Gaston was regardless of appearance; she was seduced by books not riches; and yes, she was ready to ride the beast

And then she founded the company "Bad Dragon"

To me I felt like Belle had Stockholm syndrome

[-] Twipped@l.twipped.social 10 points 1 week ago

Stockholm Syndrome isn’t an actual thing, fyi. It has never been recognized as a condition and never been diagnosed. The entire thing was an attempt to dismiss valid reactions to police incompetence.

If he's verbally abusive, violent, and keeps you locked up as a prisoner, he isn't necessarily evil.

You can change him! Just be patient, accept him, and love him!

Well it can't have hurt that the beast owned a magical castle.

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

yes but she would have left given the chance after knowing about the magic castle

Naveen was more of a Princess than Tiana

Just like how Shek didn't know that Fiona would turn into a SBBW ogre. He was prepared to wear an angry skinny white girl like a condom

I didn't need that mental image. But since you have installed it in my head, I am honor-bound to upvote.

I'm delighted to report that I have no idea what gif you're referring to, and I am happy to keep it that way

Shrek 2 takes it further with Fiona actively choosing to let the magic wear off so her boy toy would turn back into an ogre rather than settle for a twunk rest of her life.

I wouldn't blame Belle if she was disappointed and called it off.

Tales can be cruel:

This comic is neither left-right or right-left orientation and that should be punishable by death.

When I watch Mulan, I shut it off before the reveal and pretend that Mulan never gets outed. I am so thirsty for gay trans man romance :(

That’s like, the moral of the whole movie is that she didn’t judge him for his appearance and wasn’t expecting a prince. I figured this was well known.

[-] vrojak@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago

That's the interpretation from the modern perspective on relationships. The tale is from a time where women (well, more like girls to be exact) were married off without any say of their own, and the tale was supposed to tell them "hey, we know the guy we're forcing you to marry seems like a hairy monster, buuuuut if you can look past that he might be nice actually!"

[-] otacon239@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

But in the Disney movie which the picture is referencing, it’s not a forced marriage, which is the version I think most people think of.

To me, the original tales all felt like the Murphy’s Law of storytelling. While they are the originals and are much more mature material, I honestly feel the vast majority of Disney adaptations (I’m talking classic 2d series run) are better at teaching the lessons to a modern audience than the original stories. Times change and art often reflects this.

Sadly, the pendulum has swung too far the other way and we’re remaking material in a span of time that the lessons haven’t changed all that much. That’s why you can go back to pretty much all eras of film and get valuable lessons from it because the lessons all still apply. It’s just that much of a new medium.

Hey, no one said it was anything more than romantic. You don't have to fuck anything that moves.

I can't be the only one who was disappointed when the beast turned into generic inbred royal twink?

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Not a real man like Gaston

TBF, the stories that Disney's been strip-mining for generations're crazy dark, originally.

  1. Sleeping Beauty woke to find she'd had two children, and now they were teens nearly as old as she was when she fell asleep. 🤮
  2. The Little Mermaid was double-crossed by a human princess last minute, and was turned into seafoam (died). 🥹
  3. ad nauseum...

Presumably she wasn't just prepared to ride the beast, she actively wanted to be ruined by it.

She was probably disappointed when the transition happened. She thought she was going to be raw-dogged by the monster.

Can't find another source for this tweet from either Twitter or Reddit, but here's a screenshot of this tweet by Twitter user @hiimbobbi:

Personally, Belle was not fooling me or anyone. When the Beast changed into a human, I saw that look on her face. That was DISAPPOINTMENT.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That's literally the universal, "Oh my God, I'm going to vomit" face.
