Do you ever look at a certain character and you wished the franchise did more with them but they just practically leave them quite undeveloped despite the potential they have?
#characters#franchise#txt#i feel like this about a few characters#like eric from tlm. i mean the animated version specifically#he is the least developed major character in all of animated tlm franchise and it's quite annoying#they gave him a decent/good enough development in the original movie#but his character was practically pushed to the side in the sequel and wasn't even present in the third#i think eric's status as the “representation” of humanity and ariel being a mermaid hasn't allowed his character to be expanded in the way#he really shoulda been. his character was left quite untouched till that novel came out a year ago#it's messed up that it took that long for writers to FINALLY pay attention to his character and depict him as more than just ariel's love#interest/arm candy#honestly most disney princes are quite underdeveloped specially the earlier ones#this is why people just dismiss them#and eric's case is interesting in that he is the only one to smash a non-human and that represented or symbolized humanity#he was the only one to not have a song and honestly he shouldn't have been given one. he didn't need to sing unlike the others#like eric is the only prince who was directly pursued he didn't need no song lol#for as much sh*t as the animated pairing gets they are the most unique and peculiar in all of the disney princess romances#this is what i didn't like about the remake they gave ariel's traits to eric basically. he was the one being infatuated now#like i'm sorry but one of the things i love about ariel was her fangirlism. they took that away from her and gave it to eric#they turned it into a traditional relationship in a sense when they weren't supposed to be that#idc idc idc this is how i feel about it#anyways i shoulda left that for another post tbh 💀
