As someone who's grown up with Disney Renaissance (or whatever they called that surge of movies in the 90s) and feels like I'm missing something huge, can someone please explain what the appeal of Gaston is? I have next to no opinion on the guy, I'm just honestly curious. Is it because he's a hot asshole rival, though not the only Disney one I can think of? Because he's arguably way hotter than the male romantic lead of his movie who spends almost all his time as a beast anyway? (But then that doesn't explain why the Internet seems to cream themselves over Gaston far more than anything I've seen for the other Disney princes.)

In the same vein, what is it about Maleficent that makes her so great and different from, say, Ursula (who also has badass powers and selfish/destructive intentions)? Or even the Queen from Snow White? Or Cruella de Ville, who has no powers but still managed to fuck shit up without them? I know female villains aren't exactly thick on the ground with Disney, and I like Maleficent a lot, I'm just wondering why she got the movie over all these others and in general seems to be the most popular.

I think it's a few things.

For Maleficent (versus Ursula, the Queen, or Cruella de Ville) - appearance, presence, voice, design (Sleeping Beauty had a really wonderful aesthetic), and possibly some nostalgia.

For Gaston - appearance, voice, a weirdly catchy song (don't discount the power of this), the movie itself (popular, well-received, and well-done), and possibly some nostalgia.
