So apparently I'm the only one that thinks Triton had a point? Ariel is damn lucky she (and the other merpeople) didn't end up in a freak show style zoos, or being dissected in a lab, or being hunted when the humans found out about their existence.

Let's also not forget that fish are like people in the merpeople's world. It seems pretty bizarre to me that a mermaid would idolise a species that kills so many of her father's subjects. To me that would be kind of like a human idolising vampires (if they actually existed as a species), despite vampires killing millions of humans to eat every year.

Except fish eat fish too, which even mentioned in the animated series.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty hazy on the animated series since I've not seen it since I was little, but from what I can remember the only fish that were mentioned to eat other fish were sharks, and they were feared and demonised by the merpeople for it.

[kallanda_lee]

It's not so much that he doesn't have a point as that he's a bully who destroys his daughter's possessions, among other things. If my dad pulled that shit I'm not sure I'd ever speak to him again, in any case going away from home would be like 200% more attractive to me then.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh I agree that the way he went about it was completely wrong, and actually more likely to drive Ariel towards humans too, but for people to say that he was being completely unreasonable (even racist?) at not wanting Ariel to date a human is a bit unfair, imo.

[dancing_clown]

I can certainly see the side of "Triton's a bully who destroyed his daughter's things," but I think there's also room to see him as a father who the crack house his kid was frequenting.

[diet_poison]

This. His outburst made me mad as a little kid, and I think it's even worse now that I can think about why it bothers me so much. Nobody has the right to destroy someone else's possessions.

[(Anonymous)]

They weren't really her things, she was essentially grave robbing.

[diet_poison]

wait...what?

A bunch of human stuff fell in the ocean, and you're implying anyone still had claim to them or would care if Ariel took them? And wtf "grave"? Most of it was everyday stuff like cookware, books, etc. Sorry, but if it drops into the ocean, I think it's fair game. Triton certainly didn't have some magical right to it after she found it and hid it away. You're basically trying to justify his abuse.

[(Anonymous)]

wtf "grave"?

I think anon's going off the fact that we see Ariel going through a sunken ship for things--if the ship sunk, it's very likely that people did die (unless the ship had sufficient lifeboats and escape was carried out properly. Idealized Disney world probably says it's fine and dandy, it did seem to be implied that Prince Eric was the only one who nearly died on that shipwreck; realism says wow, that hobby of hers just got morbid really fast).

[diet_poison]

Well, ok, that's fair. I don't think it makes Ariel a thief, though.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah but this is Disney so we can assume none of what you said is an issue in the movie's version of the world.

[(Anonymous)]

Well we did see the humans eating fish, so that at least certainly was an issue.
