She didnt sign up for some random human, if she wanted that she could have had Gaston.

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.

Cue the Hulk/Black Widow GIF

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

Is there a link directly to the gif? for those if us who don't have reddit logins?

Pro tip: if you install the browser extension LibRedirect, if you click a link to Reddit/Xhitter/Instagram/TikTok/etc, it will automatically redirect it to a privacy respecting frontend! Fully customizable which sites get redirected and which services/hosts they redirect to. Also has a "one-time disable" button for when you just can't resist the urge to sign in and leave a comment.

If you use Firefox on mobile (or a fork thereof), you can get this extension there too! If you don't use Firefox on mobile, consider doing that!

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'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

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And then she founded the company "Bad Dragon"

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

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 53 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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 33 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.

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

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not a real man like Gaston

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gaston had years of practice sucking down liquid protein too

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Noooo oooooone sucks like Gaston, no one fucks like Gaston, no one's dick's as incredibly thick as Gaston

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For there's no man in town half as manly,

Perfect, a bear so-far-gone,

You can ask each of Tom, Dick and Stanley,

And they'll tell you whose top they pre-fer to be on

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.

Jerk off before you write your comment next time.

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

Tales can be cruel:

And people underestimate big dommy furries:

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...

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.

Didn't peg Belle for being a gold digger though.
