I don't have so much of a problem with Belle, but making every other woman out to be a silly idiot for wanting to be attractive to men was heavy-handed, particularly given the setting. I hate to say it, but Gaston actually does hit the nail on the head when he points out that being unmarried is a significant disadvantage in their society. Finding a husband was the smart thing to do. Maybe they were all smarter than Belle.

It's not like she goes on to challenge this idea either. She marries a fucking prince.

Well, it’s Disney; they’re hardly gonna present “and then I went off to Paris and became a famous inventor and never married” as a happy ending when there’s a handsome prince around so long as the prince wasn’t a total asshole. Which Gaston was. And idk, I agree that there’s nothing wrong with marriage if both parties to it like each other and don’t, say, try and force you to marry them by threatening your only surviving parent with an 18th century(ish) insane asylum.

It wasn't that Belle didn't want to get married, though. It was that she didn't want to get married to the first marginally attractive person who showed interest in her looks. She wanted someone who respected and appreciated her--which that prince did! Gaston never did. He wanted to own her like one owns a mare or a cow or a dog.

So she'd rather wait than give in to Gaston's manipulative as fuck tactics--that he was her only choice. Him saying that wasn't him being right, it was him being a total douchecanoe who was trying to scare a woman into marrying him.

And the fact you're going, "Well, but, Gaston was right!!!" is kind of gross to me because you're implying she should have then just married him because he would save her from being the town crazy lady because she refused marriage.

Also while this version of Gaston definitely got REAL gross and crazy real fast, in the beginning of the movie he...wasn't that bad? In the animated version he was definitely disgusting from the start, but in this one I was really confused because he seemed to be just slightly dumb and vain but not particularly ill-intentioned...until the heavy-handed insanity hit (as opposed to the far more terrifying open misogyny and mob mentality)

Live action Gaston was gross and creepy from the start, though. He’s first shown calling Belle “my future wife” while spying on her with a telescope and calls her “the sweetest prey” because she doesn’t instantly fall for him. That’s serial-killer stalker shit.

Still nothing compared to the animated one.
