Um, Disney… this was literally already the plot of the movie. Her motivations are pretty clearly not just about Eric (and even if they were — so what?). She’d been collecting things in the grotto for ages and sang Part of Your World, the song where she goes very into detail about wanting to take part in the human world, BEFORE she ever laid eyes on Eric. Tell me you haven’t watched the movie in a while without telling me you haven’t watched the movie in a while.

#don’t get me wrong the trailer looked very cute #however i'm very tired of them acting like everything had to be improved upon #'we're changing things in kiss the girl because eric needs to ask consent to kiss her'#you mean the song where SHE is very intentionally trying to get him to kiss her?#funnily enough a mute person can be the active pursuer with clear intentions and not need their hand held always being asked if it's okay #literally the PLOT OF THE MOVIE hinges on her being the one trying to get him to kiss her #and the leaked art of ariel taking his place steering the ship in the climax… why? why isn’t she allowed to need help?#what's so wrong with eric having an active role in the story?#and does it not speak well of ariel that he loves this woman enough to risk everything for her safety?#it's a wonderful credit to her character to have inspired such devotion #why is it a big deal that she always have to be the one doing everything? it's starting to look like he has nothing to do in this movie #i've always been tired of 'she did all this for a man' takes that look down on her and princess stories in general #but to see disney themselves not understand their own movie and act like they have to fix it is driving me insane #this is a disney princesses defense blog #disney #the little mermaid 2023 #rant
