I used to think Scar was the best Disney villain, with the Nazi metaphors and all, but be honest, how many people in real life have you met were smart enough to be like Scar? Versus how many people you know IRL you know who remind you of Gaston?

I don't know any Gastons. I know like 1 Frollo, 1 Ursula, and a few Pete.

Smart enough to be like Scar? He tricked a child. That isnt a very tough thing to do.

He deregulates the meat industry and lets the hyenas eat indiscriminately, creating supply chain issues. It's really pretty transparently anti-capitalist. (/s)

He sets up a situation where Simba's life is at risk and the only way to save him is to put Mufasa's life at risk. He then politically strong arms his way back into the monarchy and assumes power.

I've never met any IRL but there's 50 scars in the US Senate and the only Gaston is in a wheelchair in the house of representatives

It's clearly an analogy to Fisher King of Arthurian legend
The King is connected to the land.
Healthy King means healthy land, infertile King means infertile land, so a bad, illegitimate King is terrible for the land

I mean yeah it's magical thinking. But in the actual facts of the movie there's no good explanation

There's a perfectly good explanation. Dead Mufasa is shown to be able to control the weather, shaping clouds and steering the wind. He makes it rain at the end, restoring life to the land.

"Politically strong arms" is a strong word for just being the only one remaining that had a claim to the throne. All he had to do was remove a single obstacle in Simba.

Locking up an old man to use that as leverage to force his daughter into marriage?

Honestly, yeah. As far as he knew from the old man's story (forget his name) some kind of monster was holding Belle hostage.

And when Belle shows up unharmed and insists the beast his her friend, he locks her up too, while gaslighting n fearmongering to koax the town into joining his hunting party against a being that blatantly posed no threat when they met.

Everyone forgets. Trying paint Gaston as a misplaced Disney hero has been a weirdly inviting meme for over a decade.

i've always thought the multiple villians in Pinnochio were all awesome.

Stromboli's rage makes him very scary
Honest John's cunning and shit talking makes him amusing and captivating but there's a dark side there
The Coachman is just fucked up
and the whale of course is just this impressive brooding beast

One of the many reasons BntB is my favorite Disney movies. Unlike your standard Disney antagonist who is evil to the core and / or already halfway into their vengeful plot by the time they first appear onscreen, we actively got to watch Gaston decline from oafish yet likeable jerk into murderous villainy simply because he was denied something he wanted, and his ego wouldn't allow him to accept 'no' for an answer.
