@ OP

Did you actually watch the original goddamn movie??????????

This is why I fucking loathe Disney remake stans. They disrespect the original material and claim it's better without understanding any of the damn nuance nor meaning of the original work it's based on at all. I know I shouldn't be taking this too seriously because "It's just cartoons", but this is part of a much larger prevailing problem in fandom discourse and media literacy overall. Posts like OP's piss me the hell off.

FOR REAL!!!! live action ariel/eric >>> animation

#eric #disney #the little mermaid #the little mermaid 2023 #meta #disney meta #thread #last time i checked dude LITERALLY said “i lost her once i'm not gonna lose her again” when did y'all's boy ever say that??????#also this version gave up on her rather quickly which is something the original one would have NOT done at all #y'all have been bashing him for a while and i'm getting so fucking sick of it #like yes he is not the most complex multidimensional and multilayered character of all time #but he damn sure was the FIRST to have dimension to him regardless and he actually felt real and not just purely based on an ideal #no i'm tired of y'all coming for eric like that this shit is getting tiring bro. he's been so damn disrespected and devalued by the entire #disney fandom despite the fact that he paved the way for the next generation of disney princes and even male heroes overall #there are so many defense videos and essays for ariel (and rightfully so) but there need to be more for eric because he is probably just as #misunderstood disrespected and disresgarded. it's wild how much people truly don't understand what tlm is truly about #this is one of the most grossly misunderstood and misinterpreted movies ever wtf #nah bro i needed to go off. i'm so tired of y'all #and they managed to do that despite the fact he is one of the princes with lesser screen time #ijs
