But the movie makes him out to be a bad guy, and Ariel is heroic for defying him. Same with Ursula; she's sitting and minding her own business until Ariel comes along. Then Ursula clearly warns her about what will happen and even makes her sign a contract for liability's sake, and she's still wrong. Why does Ariel do everything wrong, and she's the hero of the movie? --- https://imgur.com/5ldCA https://imgur.com/tvXx8Bh https://imgur.com/nAJVH https://imgur.com/H5jMv6k <cite>slk_23 posted [p:954165866] in In The Lit...

Wii_Shaker 05/21/21 9:04:35 PM #3:	Ariel makes her own mistakes and grows from the lessons she learns from them. She's obviously too stubborn to follow her father's every command. She's also too curious to heed Ursula's warnings. She'd still be depressed living under the sea if she did what she was told and the movie would have nowhere to go. --- "He busted in, blessed be the Lord Who believe any mess they read up on a message board" -MF DOOM 1970-2020 (G.O.A.T.) <cite>Wii_Shaker posted [p:954165951] in In The Lit...

Speaking of Kingdom Hearts, Ariel is the only big Disney Princess to not be a Princess of Heart. It's probably because she's a mermaid, but it also makes sense that she's not pure of heart because she does so much wrong in the movie. --- https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT So?

PMarth2002 05/23/21 5:50:24 AM #16:	Triton throws a huge temper tantrum and wrecks all of her shit, that's pretty fucked up. Ariel's like 15 or 16, she's a kid who's father is acting borderline abusive and is then manipulated by someone into signing a contract that is entirely unfair and designed to take advantage of her. She's largely a victim in her own movie.. --- You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt <cite>PMarth2002 posted [p:954207311] in In The Lit...

Noumas 05/23/21 5:58:51 AM #20:	It goes without saying how much we identify with Ariel. Did anyone else's parents do exactly what Triton did? Mine did, they destroyed my toys as punishment just like triton did to Ariel. Suffice to say the movie struck a chord with me as a kid. I would gladly leap at the chance of love to never see my family again (after all you can start a new family with your loved one) <cite>Noumas posted [p:954207400] in In The Lit...

CaptainOfCrush 05/23/21 6:13:10 AM #21:	Teenager is growing up and wants to do their own thing. Controlling parent overreacts and pushes her away despite his good intentions. Teenager rebels, runs away, does something foolish. Parent regrets his overreaction. A bunch of Disney stuff happens. Parent realizes that his child has grown and it's time to let her live her own life. Look past the Disney plot points and required happy ending, and Ariel/Triton are very human, relatable characters. Theirs is the story countless fathers and daughters have lived, but because it's a Disney cartoon, it gets a perfectly happy ending and is told in the span of like a week versus several years. Also, I don't think Ariel's actions are necessarily painted as "heroic" - she's just a flawed protagonist. --- Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg <cite>CaptainOfCrush posted [p:954207552] in In The Lit...
