Gaston is what Beast would have been if he was never punished, he has basically been shaped all of his life to be a narcissist and that is the fault of the town people who in my opinion are the cruelest mfs ever, these people willingly teamed up with Gaston simply because Gaston was insanely charismatic, and that is what makes him scary, he might lack education, but his natural manipulation and gaslighting are something that an idiot would not think off, he is a briber and a schemer, he might lack education but he is an intimidating presence
What's sad is some of Gaston's character traits can be found in a genuine leader. His strength, bravery, charisma and general ability to rally people behind him are leader-like traits. Gaston could have been a great leader if he didn't have the one trait that makes a Disney villain: He was selfish.
@@everlastingdragon4520 Yeah, it's what separates characters like Cinderella from Lady Tremaine or Ariel from Ursula. And Gaston is no exception. He selfishly believes Belle should be his wife. He doesn't care about her opinions on the matter. Same with the Beast. To an extent, he became a less selfish person over the course of the movie. But Gaston, not so much.
Gaston, a man showered with superficial love his whole life... Beast, a once spoiled prince turned beautiful soul who was only able to become such after receiving a single bit of genuine warmth and kindness. Both... covered with ***HAAAIIIR***
😂😂😂 Even by Gaston's own standards, the Beast is a better man: Gaston's ideal of a man is a tall, strong fighting man with every inch of his covered by hair. The Beast is all of those things.
Gaston is a perfect representation of just because you’re handsome doesn’t mean you’re a good person, it’s not you’re looks that make you who you are, it’s what you do to others that make you who you are. The beast and Gaston represent two kinds of people The first is someone who started off as a selfish asshole and regrets their past actions, while they can be bitter sometimes they still have a big glowing heart within and they’re willing to change for the better. They eventually grow as a person and become better than who they were in the past. The second is just a selfish asshole all the way through, nothing but a cold stone heart . No regards for others, treats others like shit to get their own way, manipulative, thinks they’re untouchable and above everyone else. They’ll also do anything to keep their pride and fulfill their ego they inevitably destroy themselves It’s like that riddle from the end of hunchback of Norte dame. “What makes a monster and what makes a man?”
What I love most about Gaston and honestly about Beauty and The Beast is how filled the movie is with parallels and foils, but Gaston and Beast’s is my favorite parallel dynamic. Beast is more human than any beast and Gaston is more beast than any human. Beast actually grows as a person and becomes more generous, affectionate, and caring of others, whereas Gaston swirls deeper into his selfishness, his desires, his ego, his pride, and even stoops so low as to scheme throwing Belle’s father in an asylum to get her to marry him. Simple, but effective writing. These juxtaposed characters just makes the film all that more compelling and impactful for me, and will forever stand as a crown jewel among Disney’s films imo. It’s a top 5 Disney movie for me no doubt.
Couldn't agree with you more. The parallel of these two characters (Gaston and the Beast) fits perfectly but in the opposite direction each are taking. I feel more related to the Beast in some ways as I got older. I was a spoiled brat in my teen years and a bit of a hotheaded since I had a bit an emotional temper. Even I had troubles getting along with my old man just like the 2019 live action remake since he likes to yell at and takes his own problems on me for no damn reasons. But as I got older, I became a bit selfless, more generous, and more concern of other people's wellbeing. Even I tried my best to not end up like my father regardless of growing up without one. Beauty and the Beast have been one of my favorite Disney movie from childhood.
Reminds me of a book I read a long time ago. I forgot the title, but there is one line that one of the characters says to her son while talking about manners: man is akin to God, so don't act like a dog (or somethingbalong those lines)
His unhealthy obsession with Belle and jealousy of the Beast being with her had become Gaston’s downfall. If you remembered what the old lady (the Enchantress in disguise) from the prologue narration, she stated to the Prince to not be deceived by appearances 'for beauty is found within'. Belle sees that through the Beast whom has a warmth heart in the end. But Gaston is more rotten to the core ( a hunter with an idiotic nature whom is hunting for another trophy) and thinks about his own self image as a beauty in perfection (mostly his love for himself). Plus, he is very narcissist who sees himself as superior to everyone around him and Gaston is the embodiment of toxic masculinity. In my humble opinion, I would considered Gaston to be among the best Disney villains since Jafar, Maleficent, Judge Doom, Scar, Oogie Boogie, Judge Claude Frollo, Yokai, Ursula and Cruella De Vil.
@@randomuser5443 Gaston had the looks and potential, but man the guy ruined because he was a narcissist, he is basically the beast with no curse and no reprecussion for his actions
I think you have to cross out Judge Frollo and Yokai, since they came AFTER Gaston. And really.. You think Yokai is a good villain, I think he was a boring and tame villain, but then I didn't like the Big Hero 6 movie.
The fact that Gaston is so terrifying because you can meet him everyday. The one who doesn't respect a no, who belittles your interests and feels entitled to have you because of his own narcisism.
What makes it even worse is that some people in the internet defend this prick. Saying Belle would be better off with Gaston than with the Beast. NO SHE WOULD NOT!!! Already he was stomping through her boundaries, insulted her hobby, never taking the hint she was not interested, and tried to force her to follow his wants and desires. And when that didn't work, plotted to threaten her father to force her into obeying. He is a hunter and a predator. She was a trophy and his prey. And with the entire village lapping up his every word and action, she would have been trapped. Whether the Beast existed or not.
Wait people defend Gaston Does this have anything to do with the stupid Stockholm syndrome thing. Yes they fell in love with that context in the background and I can see where the line is blurred. But there is a deleted scene which they hopefully kept in the movie on Disney+ that kind of fixes this by adding the additional 10 minutes showing them bonding in the library. But first off she willingly chose to be prisoner so her father could get home and get some medical help. And him changing his ways helping her When she immediately took off the first time. Is how they started becoming friends. And then he lets her go and she leaves. Kingdom hearts two points this out but she does not know the significance of the rose or the curse on them. And it’s pink and escalated as quickly as they did maybe she would’ve gone back to visit once her father was better
@@starvoltnexus3139 Another point, Belle is not really a prisoner and can leave whenever she wants but she chooses to stay not only because she gave the beast her word, but she also stays as a result of seeing the beasts hidden compassion.
"While the little ones play in the corner with the dogs... We'll have 6 or 7" That was one of the most anxiety inducing things he has said to Belle... Just imo, it has a level of ominousness to it
Gaston is a deconstruction of the Disney Heroes we have seen like Prince Eric or Prince Philip, and also a dark parody of a fairy tale prince: -Gaston, on paper, has everything to be the hero: He is tall, handsome, beloved by the town, charismatic and skilled with weapons, who tries to woo the lovely maiden and rescue her from the evil monster so he could win her heart. However, those qualities have given him a massive sense of ego and believes himself entitled to Belle, even though Belle is not remotely interested in him at all. He looks the part, but his personality is far from being heroic: He is cruel, narcissistic, entitled, misogynistic, manipulative and brutish, trying to murder a sapient being out of jealousy and his sidekick, Lefou (who in a traditional fairy tale would act as the moral conscience of Gaston) enables him on a perpetual basis, allowing him to be an abusive brute.
Your dissection reminds me of when I was recently viewing a YT short on the Theology of the Body Institute’s channel, and a commenter asked to define “toxic masculinity”. I tried to create my own definition, which fits the intended connotation/scenarios, provides some concrete substance in its wording, and incidentally could describe Gaston’s character: “A set of behaviors in which one seeks to greatly emulate certain qualities traditionally admired in men, such as being authoritative, handsome, bold, physically strong, and carnally passionate, while egregiously lacking in virtues needed to properly order them, such as humility, wisdom, self-discipline, gentleness, restraint from aggression, chastity, and respect towards women.”
Gaston vs Emperor Kuzco on biggest ego. Yet Kuzco learned and became a better person, maybe Gaston should be turned into a stallion to may learn a lesson
Gaston and Frolo are some of the best villains as they represent some of the worst characteristics of human nature, greed, Vanity, Lust, prejudice and and intolerance, this is why is so easy to hate them but what makes them some of our favorites is that despite all these negative aspects they still have a lot of charm and intelligence to manipulate anyone even the audience watching, this also makes me appreciate a little more the other human villains in Disney who not get as much love as these 2, Mother Gothel who is an underrated amazing villain with her manipulation controlling Rapunzel almost entire life, have a little of Gaston in her main negative human aspect is her vanity for stay young forever and is willing to go to any extreme for keep it that way..... Clayton, Ratcliffe and Rourke are on the aspect of GREED as money and fame and pride are their main human negatives these display and all 3 use deception to manipulate their way to get what they dean priceless, Clayton capture the rare apes to sell them, Ratcliffe his desire to find gold, and Rourke who wants the Atlantis technology and power to sell it for profit and can't care less who gain that power as long he gets his money, man These villains are a bit more complex people give them credit to and I think Gaston was the architect for many of these great and underrated Disney villains.
Your totally right. Also Lady Tremaine who like Claude Frollo and Mother Gothel represent a realistic abusive parent, Cruella De Vil and Prince John represent those greedy adults who act like spoiled little children, and Mayor Bellwether represents racism and karens who think everything should be given to them just because they exist.
They sure do. Also Lady Tremaine like Claude Frollo and Mother Gothel represents a realistic abusive parent, Cruella De Vil and Prince John represent greedy adults who act like spoiled little children, and Mayor Bellwhether represents racist and entitled Karen’s.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 yeah I can agree.. Frollo the snarky king would be insulting him the entire time while Gaston might think he is being complimented on how 'handsome' and 'great' he is.
Gaston is like a spoiled brat, but he is still human (and I mean not physical but not that powerful). Unlike the other villains who have powers, that I agree upon. Gaston is driven by his own desires & doesn’t take no for an answer.
Now that I look at this, Gaston's obsession with Belle and jealousy of the Beast is exactly how I thought of the idea of M!Robin's obsession with Lucina and jealousy of F!Corrin in Fire Emblem/Super Smash Bros. Said jealousy made him surrender his soul to Grima, basically turning him into the beast he was "meant" to be.
I would like to remind everybody that the only crime that beast committed against the sorcerers was that he wouldn’t let her into his castle when he was 11 years old. He wouldn’t let a strange creepy woman into his parents house when he was an 11-year-old boy. That was why he was turned into a beast.
Perhaps the enchantress wasn’t trying to teach him a lesson, but just cursed him cause of the way he spoke to her. After all, the film never said she was “good” just that she was “beautiful” and if there’s anything to take away, it’s that beauty doesn’t always mean good.
Regardless, the curse was a blessing in disguise. The Beast before his curse was exactly like Gaston: Spoiled, selfish and unkind, with no love towards anybody other than himself. The curse made him confront his flaws by force and taught him that actions have consequences.
For being a movie with so much things that doesnt exist in reality, Gaston is a VERY realistic antagonist. He doesnt have any supernatural powers, he’s just a regular guy with a giant yet fragile ego. Like we’ve all met someone like this in our lifes.
Yeah he did whereas he was just an egotistical Hunter in the beginning they originally were going to have it left at that. But hey I’m not sure who the original villain was in place of Gaston would’ve been though
Please, he is not even an Alpha Male. A true Alpha Male doesn't need to have his ego constantly caressed. Gaston is a narcissistic poser with insecurity problems.
Gaston is truly misunderstood, he's not a true villain. He's unrefined, raw, and full of himself, but none of those alone determinations of being a villain. Gaston is a strong man, who can take care of him and his family. Beast however is timid, unsure of himself, having everything passed down to him, seemingly earned nothing, and generally weak.
is also very ironic to think about it because even with the human traits and body you're no longer human if you are people like gaston frollo and in real life hitler you're a monster and despite how monsterous beast looks like he slowly but surely became more and more human edit:also the song part of the kill the beast "he don't like what he don't understand we are afraid of it" is a very real social commentary that is relevant to this day where there's too many genocides wars homophobia transphobia racism xenophobia zionism religious intolerance\ anti semitism etc there's always a one arrogant narcisistic person who can take advantage of that to get power over others
Gaston is definitely the best Disney villain in regards to motivation, determination, and ego whereas Frollo is the best when it comes to manipulation, cynicism, and his sociopathic behavior towards others in Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Overall I’d say Frollo is the best because of the results and consequences of his actions throughout the movie against Quasimodo, Esmeralda, and all that stood in his way and defied him for even the most mundane reason.
Frollo is also far more complex Then Gaston, showing his mindset Constantly telling himself that he is a man of God, while fighting his Own inner demons.
Frollo is easily the greatest Disney villain of all time. That's not a knock at the others as there have been plenty of other great villains but Frollo simply set the bar so high that none of the others can match him.
Gaston would have also worked as a villain if his trophy hunting was his main drive in the movie instead of Belle. Have some dark and grim back stories of the animals he's hunted. Mentioned a few species of animals that no longer appears in the area because he wiped them out. Then the Beast becomes an ultimate trophy prize in Gaston's eyes.
This just came to me but one of the reasons the enchantress cursed the servants, as well. Was so they couldn't leave. If everyone ran away, then the Beast would be all alone , he wouldn't have any human interactions with other people, he'd probably go insane from prolonged isolation ,then turn completely feral and there would really be no hope for him then. there is no guarantee, from the enchantresses point of view, any of them would stay of their own free will. This way, with them cursed too ,the Beast will at least have someone to talk to. Also with their curse tied to break his. They have an incentive to help break his curse. Also they're also needed for maintenance of the castle.if they left, the castle would fall further into ruin than it already did in the movie Is it fair they got cursed to? Most certainly not. was it a necessity? maybe. All the servants seem like good, kind and loyal people. But staying with a beast is a really tall order. Another more messed up reason, the reason they all take the forms of inanimate objects . It is so the Beast isn't tempted to eat them. From the looks of him he doesn't look like a herbivore. Any way those are my thoughts.
Gaston is one of my favorite villains to hate because despite not having any magic or powers he is one of the most evil for me now I hate his guts because he’s is a straight a hole he only care about himself and sexist beyond belief and is a stereotypical man selfish,crazy,narcissistic,and manipulative abilities and his intimidation and when and his infatuation with belle is stalking to the max and you can see how dangerous he can be he tries to isolate belle and pretty much destroy her life until she chooses him.There are many reasons I can right but it would be a whole essay but I love to hate him because he is one of the most evil Disney villains and knowing that people like Gaston exists in the world just Big W.
Gaston's death as well the other Disney villains who had death's is the reason why I'm not a fan desendance films, like why are half of these villains parenting children when they should be dead!?
It's interesting how the as the film progresses Beast (Adam) and Gaston invert their inhumanity and humanity. Beast in the very start, looks like primal with wide, intense eyes, walking on all fours, and looking like something out of a nightmare- with an aggressive attitude. As the film progresses with his relationship with Belle, his expressions become softer, his features become gentler, his feral voice becoming calmer, and he starts to walk on two legs/wearing clothes- being becoming truly human in appearance/attitude with a truly compassionate heart. Gaston in contrast, starts off as a cartoonish human buffoon, but as his obsession gets more prominent, his macho face becomes more of a mask to the evil inside, his hair becomes unkempt, his macho voice giving into pompish elitish, and he walks in a primal stance- showing himself as an ungrateful, cowardly animal. While Beast imprisoned Maurice for trespassing into his home without permission (excessive, but understandable) out of anger, Gaston in his clear mind, tried to orchestrate Maurice to be sent to be imprisoned in an asylum just to get Belle back to him- a far more monstrous act. And when that fails, he uses the town people' s fears as a means to an end to settle his petty grudge.
Gaston is not an idiot, a brute with no education yes, but man he is a smart man when it comes to bribing and manipulating people, he is also a great gaslighter, the dude literally convinced the town that the beast was out to slaughter them, bro was using fear tactics
Raise your hand up if you think you can fathom the possibility/theory that Belle and Gaston have dated a year before the he would fight and lose (his life) to the Beast, they did briefly date just for Gaston to bang the Bimbettes when he knew he had Belle at that time, and then that’s where his villain arc (literally) grew and he became that incel who would pursue Belle for her marriage even though she no longer said yes after cheating on her with the Bimbettes.
The villains in the original Beauty and the Beast fairy tale were Belle’s sisters, in the Disney adaptation they were cut because they were too much like Cinderella’s sisters, although if you research the early versions of the movie, you’ll find that Disney did intend to use them.
In my opinion, Gaston, Frollo, and Mother Gothel are arguably the most terrifying villains because they are the most realistic. Men like Gaston are becoming more popular thanks to the Andrew Tate red pill community, honestly believing that women shouldn’t have rights. Along with that, there’s a rise of “Christian” nationalism that in many ways mimics Frollo, trying to use religion as an excuse for their blatant racism. Finally, Mother Gothel is the perfect representation as narcissistic mothers, who emotionally stunt their own children so that they can live out their own fantasies. Mind you, none of these three villains have any magic or tech, they’re just awful people who know how to manipulate to a T. The fact that there are people defending Gaston, Frollo, and Gothel only proves my point.
Gothel has magic. Granted, a lot of it comes from Rapunzel's hair but Gothel needed to have some power of her own to cast the spells that let her retain her youth. Nobody else in the movie automatically got younger but just touching Rapunzel's hair.
The only positives was how physically healthy he was and wanted a family, the issues were his ego clouded him and he obsessively wanted Belle because she didn’t fawn over him and took a bad approach. He was emotionally mature and beautyful on the inside, he’d be everyone’s perfect man.
I just hope that in the movie of Shrek 5, once Disney buys DreamWorks, all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses appear, especially the most important character in the movie of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea, Melody, The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, with her best friends Zephyr, Tip, Dash, Kiera and Catalina, and besides, they will be the new main characters of the movie of Shrek 5 so that they help Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito, Dulcinea, The Three Diablos, Goldilocks, The Three Bears, Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany, King Artie, Princess Guinevere, The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and The Others to defeat Rumpelstiltskin, Death, Drizella Tremaine, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks, as Queen Grimhilde, Lady Tremaine, Captain Hook, Hades, Maleficent, Cruella de Vil, Marina del Rey, Ursula, Gaston LeGume, Jafar, John Ratcliffe, Shan Yu, Yzma, Dr. Facilier, Zhan Tiri, Judge Claude Frollo, Mother Gothel, Tamatoa, Drago Bludvist, Grimmel The Grisly, Mor'du, King Runeard, Prince Hans, Pitch Black, Dr. Zara, Queen Nerissa, King Magnifico, Rapunzel (Shrek) and Morgana, and to prevent Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks from ruling and destroying all The Multiverse Forever, especially The Kingdom of Far Far Away, Shrek along with his wife named Princess Fiona will need help from their new friends which are all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses, as Prince Florian, Princess Snow White, Prince Charming, Princess Cinderella, The Baker, Anastasia Tremaine, Prince Philip, Princess Aurora, Prince Eric, Princess Ariel, Prince Adam, Princess Belle, Prince Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, Prince John Smith, Princess Pocahontas, Prince Li Shang, Princess Fa Mulan, Prince Naveen, Princess Tiana, Prince Flynn Rider, Princess Rapunzel, Varian, Cassandra, Maui, Queen Moana Waialiki, Hiccup Haddock, Princess Merida, Kristoff Bjorgman, Queen Anna, Jack Frost, Princess Elsa, Miguel Rivera, Princess Raya, Walter Beckett, Princess Mirabel Madrigal, Jin, Yi, Connor, Ruby Gillman, Starboy, Princess Asha, Mateo, Queen Elena, Prince Desmond, Princess Amber, Prince James, Princess Isabel, Prince Hugo, Princess Sofia, Namaari, The Futuristic Four, The Other Six Princesses of The Kingdom of Atlantica and Melody, but actually, Melody is The First and Only that she is not a True Official Disney Princess, because Melody made her debut in the movie of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea and it is also because she is The First and Only Daughter of an Official Disney Princess, but Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito, Dulcinea, The Three Diablos, Goldilocks, The Three Bears, Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany, King Artie, Princess Guinevere, The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and The Others also need Melody's help to protect and save all The Multiverse, especially Their Kingdom of Far Far Away away from Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks, because Melody is The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, but also The Death of Queen Lillian, because since her husband named King Harold passed away in the movie of Shrek 3, she has felt heartbroken and that caused her own death in her Kingdom of Far Far Away, and all The Inhabitants of The Kingdom of Far Far Away are saddened by The Death of Queen Lillian, because now she is with her husband named King Harold in heaven, and now they have lost their queen, that means now The Kingdom of Far Far Away needs a new queen and King Artie said that his love interest, girlfriend, fiancée and former classmate from Worcestershire school called Princess Guinevere would be the one to be The New Queen of Far Far Away, so King Artie decided to return to his old school called Worcestershire along with Shrek, with his older cousin Princess Fiona, with Donkey, with Dragon, with Puss in Boots, with Kitty Softpaws, with Perrito, with Dulcinea, with The Three Diablos, with Goldilocks, with The Three Bears, with The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, with The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and with the Others to meet again with their friends from their school who are actually Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany and his love interest, girlfriend and fiancée Princess Guinevere to take them back to his Kingdom of Far Far Away, and also The Romance of all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses, especially The Romance of Maui and Queen Moana Waialiki, The Romance of Hiccup Haddock and Princess Merida, The Romance of Jack Frost and Princess Elsa, The Romance of Varian and Cassandra, The Romance of Starboy and Princess Asha, The Romance of Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany and The Romance of King Artie and Princess Guinevere, because I think that Maui will be Queen Moana Waialiki's love interest, boyfriend and fiancé, while Hiccup Haddock will be Princess Merida's love interest and boyfriend, Princess Tiffany will be Prince Lancelot's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée and Princess Guinevere will be King Artie's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée, because Queen Moana Waialiki is going to fall in love with Maui, Princess Merida is going to fall in love Hiccup Haddock, Princess Tiffany is going to fall in love with Prince Lancelot and Princess Guinevere is going to fall in love with King Artie, but they don't know how to tell them their feelings towards them and neither how to win their hearts, because every time Queen Moana Waialiki gets too close to Maui when it comes to true love, she gets very nervous with him, while which in the case of Princess Merida is also the same, because whenever Princess Merida gets too close to Hiccup Haddock when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous with him, in the case of Princess Tiffany it is also the same, because whenever Princess Tiffany gets too close to Prince Lancelot when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, and in the case of Princess Guinevere too, because every time Princess Guinevere gets too close to King Artie when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, but luckily for them, Princess Fiona will help Queen Moana Waialiki to win The Heart of Maui, also Princess Merida to win The Heart of Hiccup Haddock, also Princess Tiffany to win The Heart of Prince Lancelot and also Princess Guinevere to win The Heart of King Artie, and I also want that Jack Frost will be Princess Elsa's love interest and boyfriend and Varian will be Cassandra's love interest and boyfriend, because Jack Frost leaves fall in love with Princess Elsa, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Jack Frost gets too close to Princess Elsa when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, because Varian leaves fall in love with Cassandra, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Varian gets too close to Cassandra when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, but fortunately for they, Shrek will help Jack Frost to win The Heart of Princess Elsa and also Varian to win The Heart of Cassandra, except Melody, The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, because she doesn't need a love interest, but also The Rivalry of King Artie and Queen Anna because they both want to compete in a challenge to see who is The Best Ruler of a Kingdom, because both want to do what is best for Their Own Kingdom, because King Artie wants to do the best for his Kingdom of Far Far Away because now he is The New King of Far Far Away and Queen Anna wants to do the best for her Kingdom of Arendelle because now she is The New Queen of Arendelle, but at the end, King Artie and Queen Anna become best friends in the world, because at the end, they both learned from their mistakes that they have made since their challenge to compete to see who is the best ruler of a Kingdom, and that at the end, King Artie and Princess Guinevere see their first true love kiss and that they become a romantic couple, just like Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany, and also that at the end of the movie of Shrek 5, Shrek becomes The New Leader of The Official Disney Princes and Maui, Hiccup Haddock, Kristoff Bjorgman, Jack Frost, Varian, Jin, Connor, The Baker, Starboy, Mateo, Prince Desmond, Prince James, Prince Hugo, Prince Lancelot and King Artie become The New Official Members of The Official Disney Princes, while Princess Fiona becomes The New Leader of The Official Disney Princesses and Queen Anna, Princess Elsa, Cassandra, Yi, Ruby Gillman, Anastasia Tremaine, Princess Asha, Queen Elena, Princess Amber, Princess Isabel, Princess Sofia, Goldilocks, Namaari, The Other Six Princesses of The Kingdom of Atlantica, Princess Tiffany and Princess Guinevere become The New Official Members of The Official Disney Princesses and that one day, Princess Tiffany will be The Wife of Prince Lancelot and that they have a family in the future, and that also Princess Guinevere is The Wife of King Artie, that they also have a family and that she becomes The New Queen of Far Far Away in The Future.
It is worth noting that Gaston likes to manipulate people around him as well. He may not be book smart, but he is plenty people smart. It's why both his plans have him convincing the townspeople to his way of thinking in order to accomplish his goals, which are entirely Narcissistic in nature.
Gaston is street smart. He knows his way around people and being handsome and charismatic certainly helps. It goes to show that there are different kinds of intelligence. Gaston may not be educated but he's not stupid either.
@@tomnorton4277Another thing to note is that Gaston is not a “fraud” when it comes to his macho image. He has build up his fighting and strategic skills from hunting, and probably fighting in wars, and has shown his true strength and speed on many occasions. He’s not just all talk, he can back up his words and prove himself worthy of the towns respect and admiration, which makes him an intimidating villain.
I've always felt the best Disney villains were the ones that were grounded in reality, and I think Gaston might be one of the most realistic of them all. He's a toxic misogynist who won't take no for an answer, but instead of being feared or hated like Frollo, the townsfolk actually _condone_ Gaston's actions solely because he's handsome and charismatic. He's not discreet about the things he plans to do and even admits it out loud, but the other villagers clearly see what he does as charming and cute instead of predatory red flags, and they even aid him with no hesitation. It just shows how easily people with good looks, money or other benefits can use them to get and do whatever they want, and their nasty, bullying behaviour will be excused and supported by the people around them because of this. You probably won't ever meet someone like Jafar or Maleficent in real life, but we've *all* met or will meet a Gaston at some point.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 He outright says in his first scene that he dislikes the idea of women reading or thinking for themselves. And later on, he organises an entire wedding ceremony without Belle's consent or knowledge and fully expects her to go along with it.
@@superfanmusicmaker I think he just wants her To pay more attention To him but you may have some point he Might be narrow minded in his views of education & him being self obsessed I think it's more about love Of himself then being Prejudice towards a Certain gender.
Normally, when people throw around the word misogynist, I scoff because it's used all the time these days. It's become as tired as screaming about racism and homophobia, so I almost never take it seriously anymore. However, with Gaston, it's absolutely true. The man is a sexist arse and the movie shows that he has no respect for Belle's opinions or feelings and just sees her as a pretty trophy.
Probably because they can’t get over how the Beast originally kept Belle imprisoned in his castle (though there really was nothing stopping her from leaving) and that her love for him was just Stockholm Syndrome. By that logic, Gaston plotting to kill the Beast could be seen as sone kind of “retribution” and him saving Belle, though she was already freed before he arrived. Thats clearly not what happened, but people will believe what they want to believe.
*reads title* That's the whole point: Beast and Gaston are parallel to each other in a writing sense. It's just that Gaston is essentially like Beast/Prince Adam if he was never punished or called out
Ironically, Gaston being “pathetic” makes him the worst kind of monster; one that’s willing to cheat in order to get what they want, and then claim they played honorably.
The sad thing is by this time's standards he would be considered a great catch for any woman: 1. He's got a steady occupation as a hunter and would be considered a good provider, 2. Good social standing in town, and 3. He clearly has money judging by his "wedding outfit," Basically, the town is looking at Belle going wtf is wrong with you by spurning him. Heck, you hear the blonde airheads actually say it.
I totally understand why Belle don't like at all Gaston: this guy is a brute without manners although a strong charisma. He probably don't have hygiene especially 4:56 when Belle covered her nose thanks to the stench of Gaston's feet: his putrid odor worth his toxic and jealous side. On the other hand although the beast have a beasty appearance is able to show remorses when he went too far and behind his monstruous look, he's such a kind-hearted person who understand his errors with the enchantress. Gaston is probably a dark reflect of the beast or maybe the embodiment from his selfishness. Honestly if i was a girl i'll probably choose an ugly but kind-hearted and smart man than a strapping but a mindless brute without any intellect and morality
@@Unsweetened8618 Yeah he does come off as a cringe metaphor for "toxic masculinity" I personally think frollo Is a better character You can see his struggle with his feelings & his mindset of thinking he's a godly man is interesting.
Clopin: “Who is the monster and who is the man?” It’s also implied he would be a abusive parent especially if he has a daughter and how he treats Lefou shows how abusive he might be. But he’s not a villain, but definitely a antagonist. I’m half convinced he wanted to kill the Beast because he saw it as a threat to society since Maurice told them he locked Belle in the dungeon and he was confirmed to not be insane. Maybe he thought Belle was crazy for falling in love with someone who put her in the dungeon. He was justified in believing Maurice was insane because there not aware the beast exist and the live action remake has it that there memories of him as human were erased. How would you react if someone came in claiming someone is locked in a dungeon by a beast, would you think the person is crazy. We the audience know the beast exists and Maurice is not insane, but Gaston and the others don’t. But yes Gaston is still exactly what you said about him.
Gaston, the Self Inflicted Celibate. His whole mindset screams it from his views on women to his attitude when interacting with everyone. He views himself as above the crowd and that he's absolutely entitled to everything and one he wants. He views relationships as transactional and Belle isn't even a real person to him. She's a trophy to hunt down and brag about. Gaston has no love or empathy for anyone but himself and that makes him extremely dangerous. That's what makes him terrifying.
Hell if the guy was nice and actually respected Belle as a person with passion and dreams, bro would have scored, considering Belle did call him good looking but she hated his lack of empathy or education
Now that I think about it, beauty and the beast goes against the common stereotype perpetrated by many older disney movies, that the ugly, scary looking characters are the evil ones and the cuter, more atrractive characters are the good guys who get victimized. The hunchback of notre dame, like this movie, also puts emphasis on character, but claude frollo and his guards did not have cute or attractive appearances by any means. Anyways i think we all can agree that this fits: "what makes a monster and what makes a man?" Edit: So this movie also does the same thing that the well known disney movies did a little given that we have Bell, but you get the idea
What I love so much about Gaston as a villain is that he’s a perfect representation of certain men who aren’t very respectful towards certain women’s boundaries and wanted to do everything it takes make certain women “theirs” for his own selfish desires, and that’s by taking advantage of the people they love, which we see with Gaston plotting to capture Belle’s father by falsely accusing him of being a crazy old guy. We’ve seen most of Gaston’s screen time obsessively stalking Belle just to win her affection in a very unhealthy manner, and Belle clearly wanted nothing to do with him. Indeed Belle was captured by the beast who had anger issues, but unlike Gaston who’s a monster from inside and out, the Beast who does look like a “monster” still has a pure heart inside him since not only did Belle help him change his attitude and the way he behaved towards his clients, but also found love and happiness within himself. Gaston only cared for his own selfish needs to making Belle “his”, and wanted to kill the beast out of pure evil, which his pathetic heart and lust led to Gaston’s own satisfying gruesome downfall.
Nah he's a representation of everyone male & female that Think because they are told Certain things that they are True, Gaston never loved Belle just what she represented "The one that got away" & different From what others thought of him.
He was. In the mobile game Union X/Unchained X, the player character visits Beast's Castle during the events of the movie. In typical KH fashion, he turns into a Heartless that you have to defeat. I still wish we got to kick his ass in KH2 tho.
Nah i dont think gaston is Sexist, hes just a superficial Narcissist who was treated as a hero who can do no wrong this attitude made him treat Everyone badly not just women & he was obsessed with belle Because she didnt have the Same attitude everybody had and it drove him mad, honestly this is what happens when people Treat people like a god it makes Them think they truly are, I think He's like homelander who's obsessed With personal image a man who's So in love with himself that he Views people as less then.
Gaston's obsession with Belle was cringe and gay. She was obviously a terrible feminist with daddy issues. If he would've settled down with one of the better women who wasn't quite as pretty on the outside, he would've retained his position as leader of the boys.
I liked that one of the earliest Disney musical depiction where they didn't have a high enough platform for Gaston to fall from so they quickly solved it by just making Belle a total badass beating the shit out of Gaston to death from pure rage for stabbing the beast! THAT should be a part of the freaking live action version because that would make a better excuse for making Belle an empowering girl boss since it's based on that one particular musical!
Tbf. From what he knows the girl he likes was captured by a monster. No one knows hell become a human. I feel like anyone would do something like he did in trying to kill the beast.

@@a.jthomas6132 he's a controversial Person who has views I don't completely agree With, but he's not completely Bad he's a flawed person Like most people.
Gaston is what Beast would have been if he was never punished, he has basically been shaped all of his life to be a narcissist and that is the fault of the town people who in my opinion are the cruelest mfs ever, these people willingly teamed up with Gaston simply because Gaston was insanely charismatic, and that is what makes him scary, he might lack education, but his natural manipulation and gaslighting are something that an idiot would not think off, he is a briber and a schemer, he might lack education but he is an intimidating presence
I think he's like homelander.
Bro invested had an 8 In intelligence but at least a 14 in wisdom and charisma with proficiency in insight and persuasion.
What's sad is some of Gaston's character traits can be found in a genuine leader. His strength, bravery, charisma and general ability to rally people behind him are leader-like traits. Gaston could have been a great leader if he didn't have the one trait that makes a Disney villain: He was selfish.
@@frankielovejoy9928 Arguably, selfishness is what makes villains in general.
@@everlastingdragon4520 Yeah, it's what separates characters like Cinderella from Lady Tremaine or Ariel from Ursula. And Gaston is no exception. He selfishly believes Belle should be his wife. He doesn't care about her opinions on the matter. Same with the Beast. To an extent, he became a less selfish person over the course of the movie. But Gaston, not so much.
Gaston, a man showered with superficial love his whole life...
Beast, a once spoiled prince turned beautiful soul who was only able to become such after receiving a single bit of genuine warmth and kindness.
Both... covered with ***HAAAIIIR***
Jesus is the Son of G-d. He died on a cross and rose from the dead on the third day. He is sitting at the right hand of G-d.
You got me with the last line🤣
😂😂😂 Even by Gaston's own standards, the Beast is a better man: Gaston's ideal of a man is a tall, strong fighting man with every inch of his covered by hair. The Beast is all of those things.
Gaston is a perfect representation of just because you’re handsome doesn’t mean you’re a good person, it’s not you’re looks that make you who you are, it’s what you do to others that make you who you are.
The beast and Gaston represent two kinds of people
The first is someone who started off as a selfish asshole and regrets their past actions, while they can be bitter sometimes they still have a big glowing heart within and they’re willing to change for the better. They eventually grow as a person and become better than who they were in the past.
The second is just a selfish asshole all the way through, nothing but a cold stone heart . No regards for others, treats others like shit to get their own way, manipulative, thinks they’re untouchable and above everyone else. They’ll also do anything to keep their pride and fulfill their ego they inevitably destroy themselves
It’s like that riddle from the end of hunchback of Norte dame.
“What makes a monster and what makes a man?”
I liked the way you think! 👍
That is well said and same with being beautiful.
Jesus is the Son of G-d. He died on a cross and rose from the dead on the third day. He is sitting at the right hand of G-d.
What I love most about Gaston and honestly about Beauty and The Beast is how filled the movie is with parallels and foils, but Gaston and Beast’s is my favorite parallel dynamic. Beast is more human than any beast and Gaston is more beast than any human. Beast actually grows as a person and becomes more generous, affectionate, and caring of others, whereas Gaston swirls deeper into his selfishness, his desires, his ego, his pride, and even stoops so low as to scheme throwing Belle’s father in an asylum to get her to marry him.
Simple, but effective writing. These juxtaposed characters just makes the film all that more compelling and impactful for me, and will forever stand as a crown jewel among Disney’s films imo. It’s a top 5 Disney movie for me no doubt.
Couldn't agree with you more. The parallel of these two characters (Gaston and the Beast) fits perfectly but in the opposite direction each are taking.
I feel more related to the Beast in some ways as I got older. I was a spoiled brat in my teen years and a bit of a hotheaded since I had a bit an emotional temper. Even I had troubles getting along with my old man just like the 2019 live action remake since he likes to yell at and takes his own problems on me for no damn reasons. But as I got older, I became a bit selfless, more generous, and more concern of other people's wellbeing. Even I tried my best to not end up like my father regardless of growing up without one.
Beauty and the Beast have been one of my favorite Disney movie from childhood.
Gaston is basically beast, with no consequences and has basically been served everything on the silver platter
Reminds me of a book I read a long time ago. I forgot the title, but there is one line that one of the characters says to her son while talking about manners: man is akin to God, so don't act like a dog (or somethingbalong those lines)
His unhealthy obsession with Belle and jealousy of the Beast being with her had become Gaston’s downfall.
If you remembered what the old lady (the Enchantress in disguise) from the prologue narration, she stated to the Prince to not be deceived by appearances 'for beauty is found within'. Belle sees that through the Beast whom has a warmth heart in the end. But Gaston is more rotten to the core ( a hunter with an idiotic nature whom is hunting for another trophy) and thinks about his own self image as a beauty in perfection (mostly his love for himself). Plus, he is very narcissist who sees himself as superior to everyone around him and Gaston is the embodiment of toxic masculinity.
In my humble opinion, I would considered Gaston to be among the best Disney villains since Jafar, Maleficent, Judge Doom, Scar, Oogie Boogie, Judge Claude Frollo, Yokai, Ursula and Cruella De Vil.
Sounds like a pathetic attempt at masculinity.
Extremely well written to contrast beast
@@randomuser5443 More like a toxic masculinity with an idiotic nature which fits Gaston's character perfectly.
@@randomuser5443 Gaston had the looks and potential, but man the guy ruined because he was a narcissist, he is basically the beast with no curse and no reprecussion for his actions
@@randomuser5443
It's not masculinity
it's individuals perception
Of Oneself.
I think you have to cross out Judge Frollo and Yokai, since they came AFTER Gaston.
And really..
You think Yokai is a good villain, I think he was a boring and tame villain, but then I didn't like the Big Hero 6 movie.
The fact that Gaston is so terrifying because you can meet him everyday. The one who doesn't respect a no, who belittles your interests and feels entitled to have you because of his own narcisism.
Totally. I’ve met a few like Gaston.
What makes it even worse is that some people in the internet defend this prick. Saying Belle would be better off with Gaston than with the Beast. NO SHE WOULD NOT!!!
Already he was stomping through her boundaries, insulted her hobby, never taking the hint she was not interested, and tried to force her to follow his wants and desires. And when that didn't work, plotted to threaten her father to force her into obeying. He is a hunter and a predator. She was a trophy and his prey. And with the entire village lapping up his every word and action, she would have been trapped. Whether the Beast existed or not.
I can totally agree
Wait people defend Gaston Does this have anything to do with the stupid Stockholm syndrome thing. Yes they fell in love with that context in the background and I can see where the line is blurred. But there is a deleted scene which they hopefully kept in the movie on Disney+ that kind of fixes this by adding the additional 10 minutes showing them bonding in the library. But first off she willingly chose to be prisoner so her father could get home and get some medical help. And him changing his ways helping her When she immediately took off the first time. Is how they started becoming friends. And then he lets her go and she leaves. Kingdom hearts two points this out but she does not know the significance of the rose or the curse on them. And it’s pink and escalated as quickly as they did maybe she would’ve gone back to visit once her father was better
@@starvoltnexus3139 Another point, Belle is not really a prisoner and can leave whenever she wants but she chooses to stay not only because she gave the beast her word, but she also stays as a result of seeing the beasts hidden compassion.
"While the little ones play in the corner with the dogs... We'll have 6 or 7"
That was one of the most anxiety inducing things he has said to Belle... Just imo, it has a level of ominousness to it
@Lulu_Loves_Sheep only now as an adult can i actually comprehend that statement to its fullest 🤮 sees her nothing but a pretty broodmare
Gaston is a deconstruction of the Disney Heroes we have seen like Prince Eric or Prince Philip, and also a dark parody of a fairy tale prince:
-Gaston, on paper, has everything to be the hero: He is tall, handsome, beloved by the town, charismatic and skilled with weapons, who tries to woo the lovely maiden and rescue her from the evil monster so he could win her heart. However, those qualities have given him a massive sense of ego and believes himself entitled to Belle, even though Belle is not remotely interested in him at all. He looks the part, but his personality is far from being heroic: He is cruel, narcissistic, entitled, misogynistic, manipulative and brutish, trying to murder a sapient being out of jealousy and his sidekick, Lefou (who in a traditional fairy tale would act as the moral conscience of Gaston) enables him on a perpetual basis, allowing him to be an abusive brute.
Your dissection reminds me of when I was recently viewing a YT short on the Theology of the Body Institute’s channel, and a commenter asked to define “toxic masculinity”. I tried to create my own definition, which fits the intended connotation/scenarios, provides some concrete substance in its wording, and incidentally could describe Gaston’s character:
“A set of behaviors in which one seeks to greatly emulate certain qualities traditionally admired in men, such as being authoritative, handsome, bold, physically strong, and carnally passionate, while egregiously lacking in virtues needed to properly order them, such as humility, wisdom, self-discipline, gentleness, restraint from aggression, chastity, and respect towards women.”
Gaston vs Emperor Kuzco on biggest ego.
Yet Kuzco learned and became a better person, maybe Gaston should be turned into a stallion to may learn a lesson
Gaston and Frolo are some of the best villains as they represent some of the worst characteristics of human nature, greed, Vanity, Lust, prejudice and and intolerance, this is why is so easy to hate them but what makes them some of our favorites is that despite all these negative aspects they still have a lot of charm and intelligence to manipulate anyone even the audience watching, this also makes me appreciate a little more the other human villains in Disney who not get as much love as these 2, Mother Gothel who is an underrated amazing villain with her manipulation controlling Rapunzel almost entire life, have a little of Gaston in her main negative human aspect is her vanity for stay young forever and is willing to go to any extreme for keep it that way..... Clayton, Ratcliffe and Rourke are on the aspect of GREED as money and fame and pride are their main human negatives these display and all 3 use deception to manipulate their way to get what they dean priceless, Clayton capture the rare apes to sell them, Ratcliffe his desire to find gold, and Rourke who wants the Atlantis technology and power to sell it for profit and can't care less who gain that power as long he gets his money, man These villains are a bit more complex people give them credit to and I think Gaston was the architect for many of these great and underrated Disney villains.
Your totally right. Also Lady Tremaine who like Claude Frollo and Mother Gothel represent a realistic abusive parent, Cruella De Vil and Prince John represent those greedy adults who act like spoiled little children, and Mayor Bellwether represents racism and karens who think everything should be given to them just because they exist.
Jesus is the Son of G-d. He died on a cross and rose from the dead on the third day. He is sitting at the right hand of G-d.
They sure do. Also Lady Tremaine like Claude Frollo and Mother Gothel represents a realistic abusive parent, Cruella De Vil and Prince John represent greedy adults who act like spoiled little children, and Mayor Bellwhether represents racist and entitled Karen’s.
If Gaston and Frollo existed in the same time period, they would be the best of terrible friends.
I think frollo probably couldn't
Stand him & call him ungodly

Gaston is like a spoiled brat, but he is still human (and I mean not physical but not that powerful). Unlike the other villains who have powers, that I agree upon. Gaston is driven by his own desires & doesn’t take no for an answer.
That's because he thinks he's
a god.
@@elongatedmanforever1252almost or just like Emperor Kuzco was once like

Now that I look at this, Gaston's obsession with Belle and jealousy of the Beast is exactly how I thought of the idea of M!Robin's obsession with Lucina and jealousy of F!Corrin in Fire Emblem/Super Smash Bros. Said jealousy made him surrender his soul to Grima, basically turning him into the beast he was "meant" to be.
I would like to remind everybody that the only crime that beast committed against the sorcerers was that he wouldn’t let her into his castle when he was 11 years old. He wouldn’t let a strange creepy woman into his parents house when he was an 11-year-old boy. That was why he was turned into a beast.
Perhaps the enchantress wasn’t trying to teach him a lesson, but just cursed him cause of the way he spoke to her. After all, the film never said she was “good” just that she was “beautiful” and if there’s anything to take away, it’s that beauty doesn’t always mean good.
Regardless, the curse was a blessing in disguise. The Beast before his curse was exactly like Gaston: Spoiled, selfish and unkind, with no love towards anybody other than himself. The curse made him confront his flaws by force and taught him that actions have consequences.
Gaston’s got Highschool Jock syndrome
Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
For me, Gaston toed the line between mean and evil for most of the film. He could've just been a jerk that drew the line at killing, tbh.
For being a movie with so much things that doesnt exist in reality, Gaston is a VERY realistic antagonist. He doesnt have any supernatural powers, he’s just a regular guy with a giant yet fragile ego. Like we’ve all met someone like this in our lifes.
I think Gaston gradually became the villain as the film went along
Yeah he did whereas he was just an egotistical Hunter in the beginning they originally were going to have it left at that. But hey I’m not sure who the original villain was in place of Gaston would’ve been though
@@starvoltnexus3139 huh weird
He was an Alpha male before Alpha males were even a thing.
Please, he is not even an Alpha Male. A true Alpha Male doesn't need to have his ego constantly caressed. Gaston is a narcissistic poser with insecurity problems.
Gaston is truly misunderstood, he's not a true villain. He's unrefined, raw, and full of himself, but none of those alone determinations of being a villain. Gaston is a strong man, who can take care of him and his family. Beast however is timid, unsure of himself, having everything passed down to him, seemingly earned nothing, and generally weak.
An analysis on Clayton would be good to see
is also very ironic to think about it because even with the human traits and body you're no longer human if you are people like gaston frollo and in real life hitler you're a monster and despite how monsterous beast looks like he slowly but surely became more and more human
edit:also the song part of the kill the beast "he don't like what he don't understand we are afraid of it" is a very real social commentary that is relevant to this day where there's too many genocides wars homophobia transphobia racism xenophobia zionism religious intolerance\ anti semitism etc there's always a one arrogant narcisistic person who can take advantage of that to get power over others
Gaston is definitely the best Disney villain in regards to motivation, determination, and ego whereas Frollo is the best when it comes to manipulation, cynicism, and his sociopathic behavior towards others in Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Overall I’d say Frollo is the best because of the results and consequences of his actions throughout the movie against Quasimodo, Esmeralda, and all that stood in his way and defied him for even the most mundane reason.
Frollo is also far more complex
Then Gaston, showing his mindset
Constantly telling himself that he is a man of God, while fighting his
Own inner demons.
Frollo is easily the greatest Disney villain of all time. That's not a knock at the others as there have been plenty of other great villains but Frollo simply set the bar so high that none of the others can match him.
@@tomnorton4277 Agreed! 👍🏻
When I hear people defend Gaston over the Beast or say they can fix him, only thing I can say is “Good luck”.
I'm guessing he's like Disney's Tighten, except that he doesn't have superpowers.
Gaston would have also worked as a villain if his trophy hunting was his main drive in the movie instead of Belle. Have some dark and grim back stories of the animals he's hunted. Mentioned a few species of animals that no longer appears in the area because he wiped them out.
Then the Beast becomes an ultimate trophy prize in Gaston's eyes.
This just came to me but one of the reasons the enchantress cursed the servants, as well.
Was so they couldn't leave.
If everyone ran away, then the Beast would be all alone , he wouldn't have any human interactions with other people, he'd probably go insane from prolonged isolation ,then turn completely feral and there would really be no hope for him then.
there is no guarantee, from the enchantresses point of view, any of them would stay of their own free will.
This way, with them cursed too ,the Beast will at least have someone to talk to.
Also with their curse tied to break his. They have an incentive to help break his curse.
Also they're also needed for maintenance of the castle.if they left, the castle would fall further into ruin than it already did in the movie
Is it fair they got cursed to?
Most certainly not.
was it a necessity?
maybe.
All the servants seem like good, kind and loyal people. But staying with a beast is a really tall order.
Another more messed up reason, the reason they all take the forms of inanimate objects . It is so the Beast isn't tempted to eat them. From the looks of him he doesn't look like a herbivore.
Any way those are my thoughts.
Gaston is one of my favorite villains to hate because despite not having any magic or powers he is one of the most evil for me now I hate his guts because he’s is a straight a hole he only care about himself and sexist beyond belief and is a stereotypical man selfish,crazy,narcissistic,and manipulative abilities and his intimidation and when and his infatuation with belle is stalking to the max and you can see how dangerous he can be he tries to isolate belle and pretty much destroy her life until she chooses him.There are many reasons I can right but it would be a whole essay but I love to hate him because he is one of the most evil Disney villains and knowing that people like Gaston exists in the world just Big W.
like Adam Taurus from RWBY who was designed after Gaston
Gaston's death as well the other Disney villains who had death's is the reason why I'm not a fan desendance films, like why are half of these villains parenting children when they should be dead!?
It's interesting how the as the film progresses Beast (Adam) and Gaston invert their inhumanity and humanity.
Beast in the very start, looks like primal with wide, intense eyes, walking on all fours, and looking like something out of a nightmare- with an aggressive attitude. As the film progresses with his relationship with Belle, his expressions become softer, his features become gentler, his feral voice becoming calmer, and he starts to walk on two legs/wearing clothes- being becoming truly human in appearance/attitude with a truly compassionate heart.
Gaston in contrast, starts off as a cartoonish human buffoon, but as his obsession gets more prominent, his macho face becomes more of a mask to the evil inside, his hair becomes unkempt, his macho voice giving into pompish elitish, and he walks in a primal stance- showing himself as an ungrateful, cowardly animal.
While Beast imprisoned Maurice for trespassing into his home without permission (excessive, but understandable) out of anger, Gaston in his clear mind, tried to orchestrate Maurice to be sent to be imprisoned in an asylum just to get Belle back to him- a far more monstrous act. And when that fails, he uses the town people' s fears as a means to an end to settle his petty grudge.
I like how you brought up his”idiotic nature” to this topic. It fits Gaston’s character well.
Gaston is not an idiot, a brute with no education yes, but man he is a smart man when it comes to bribing and manipulating people, he is also a great gaslighter, the dude literally convinced the town that the beast was out to slaughter them, bro was using fear tactics

Raise your hand up if you think you can fathom the possibility/theory that Belle and Gaston have dated a year before the he would fight and lose (his life) to the Beast, they did briefly date just for Gaston to bang the Bimbettes when he knew he had Belle at that time, and then that’s where his villain arc (literally) grew and he became that incel who would pursue Belle for her marriage even though she no longer said yes after cheating on her with the Bimbettes.
Fun Fact Gaston didnt exist in the orginal story
The villains in the original Beauty and the Beast fairy tale were Belle’s sisters, in the Disney adaptation they were cut because they were too much like Cinderella’s sisters, although if you research the early versions of the movie, you’ll find that Disney did intend to use them.
Watch the "In defense of Gaston" vid to play Devils advocate
In my opinion, Gaston, Frollo, and Mother Gothel are arguably the most terrifying villains because they are the most realistic. Men like Gaston are becoming more popular thanks to the Andrew Tate red pill community, honestly believing that women shouldn’t have rights. Along with that, there’s a rise of “Christian” nationalism that in many ways mimics Frollo, trying to use religion as an excuse for their blatant racism. Finally, Mother Gothel is the perfect representation as narcissistic mothers, who emotionally stunt their own children so that they can live out their own fantasies. Mind you, none of these three villains have any magic or tech, they’re just awful people who know how to manipulate to a T. The fact that there are people defending Gaston, Frollo, and Gothel only proves my point.
Gothel has magic. Granted, a lot of it comes from Rapunzel's hair but Gothel needed to have some power of her own to cast the spells that let her retain her youth. Nobody else in the movie automatically got younger but just touching Rapunzel's hair.
I love how gaston is just straight up evil, he just effing shot and stabbed the man/beast just because the girl he's crushing on chose the other guy.
You can also think it like this. Gaston has pride in his abilities and uses it to his advantage.
Is it me, or does Gaston remind y'all of Nate Jacobs, or Massimo from 365 days?
The only positives was how physically healthy he was and wanted a family, the issues were his ego clouded him and he obsessively wanted Belle because she didn’t fawn over him and took a bad approach.
He was emotionally mature and beautyful on the inside, he’d be everyone’s perfect man.

Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and The Others also need Melody's help to protect and save all The Multiverse, especially Their Kingdom of Far Far Away away from Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks, because Melody is The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, but also The Death of Queen Lillian, because since her husband named King Harold passed away in the movie of Shrek 3, she has felt heartbroken and that caused her own death in her Kingdom of Far Far Away, and all The Inhabitants of The Kingdom of Far Far Away are saddened by The Death of Queen Lillian, because now she is with her husband named King Harold in heaven, and now they have lost their queen, that means now The Kingdom of Far Far Away needs a new queen and King Artie said that his love interest, girlfriend, fiancée and former classmate from Worcestershire school called Princess Guinevere would be the one to be The New Queen of Far Far Away, so King Artie decided to return to his old school called Worcestershire along with Shrek, with his older cousin Princess Fiona, with Donkey, with Dragon, with Puss in Boots, with Kitty Softpaws, with Perrito, with Dulcinea, with The Three Diablos, with Goldilocks, with The Three Bears, with The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, with The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and with the Others to meet again with their friends from their school who are actually Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany and his love interest, girlfriend and fiancée Princess Guinevere to take them back to his Kingdom of Far Far Away, and also The Romance of all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses, especially The Romance of Maui and Queen Moana Waialiki, The Romance of Hiccup Haddock and Princess Merida, The Romance of Jack Frost and Princess Elsa, The Romance of Varian and Cassandra, The Romance of Starboy and Princess Asha, The Romance of Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany and The Romance of King Artie and Princess Guinevere, because I think that Maui will be Queen Moana Waialiki's love interest, boyfriend and fiancé, while Hiccup Haddock will be Princess Merida's love interest and boyfriend, Princess Tiffany will be Prince Lancelot's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée and Princess Guinevere will be King Artie's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée, because Queen Moana Waialiki is going to fall in love with Maui, Princess Merida is going to fall in love Hiccup Haddock, Princess Tiffany is going to fall in love with Prince Lancelot and Princess Guinevere is going to fall in love with King Artie, but they don't know how to tell them their feelings towards them and neither how to win their hearts, because every time Queen Moana Waialiki gets too close to Maui when it comes to true love, she gets very nervous with him, while which in the case of Princess Merida is also the same, because whenever Princess Merida gets too close to Hiccup Haddock when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous with him, in the case of Princess Tiffany it is also the same, because whenever Princess Tiffany gets too close to Prince Lancelot when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, and in the case of Princess Guinevere too, because every time Princess Guinevere gets too close to King Artie when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, but luckily for them, Princess Fiona will help Queen Moana Waialiki to win The Heart of Maui, also Princess Merida to win The Heart of Hiccup Haddock, also Princess Tiffany to win The Heart of Prince Lancelot and also Princess Guinevere to win The Heart of King Artie, and I also want that Jack Frost will be Princess Elsa's love interest and boyfriend and Varian will be Cassandra's love interest and boyfriend, because Jack Frost leaves fall in love with Princess Elsa, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Jack Frost gets too close to Princess Elsa when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, because Varian leaves fall in love with Cassandra, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Varian gets too close to Cassandra when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, but fortunately for they, Shrek will help Jack Frost to win The Heart of Princess Elsa and also Varian to win The Heart of Cassandra, except Melody, The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, because she doesn't need a love interest, but also The Rivalry of King Artie and Queen Anna because they both want to compete in a challenge to see who is The Best Ruler of a Kingdom, because both want to do what is best for Their Own Kingdom, because King Artie wants to do the best for his Kingdom of Far Far Away because now he is The New King of Far Far Away and Queen Anna wants to do the best for her Kingdom of Arendelle because now she is The New Queen of Arendelle, but at the end, King Artie and Queen Anna become best friends in the world, because at the end, they both learned from their mistakes that they have made since their challenge to compete to see who is the best ruler of a Kingdom, and that at the end, King Artie and Princess Guinevere see their first true love kiss and that they become a romantic couple, just like Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany, and also that at the end of the movie of Shrek 5, Shrek becomes The New Leader of The Official Disney Princes and Maui, Hiccup Haddock, Kristoff Bjorgman, Jack Frost, Varian, Jin, Connor, The Baker, Starboy, Mateo, Prince Desmond, Prince James, Prince Hugo, Prince Lancelot and King Artie become The New Official Members of The Official Disney Princes, while Princess Fiona becomes The New Leader of The Official Disney Princesses and Queen Anna, Princess Elsa, Cassandra, Yi, Ruby Gillman, Anastasia Tremaine, Princess Asha, Queen Elena, Princess Amber, Princess Isabel, Princess Sofia, Goldilocks, Namaari, The Other Six Princesses of The Kingdom of Atlantica, Princess Tiffany and Princess Guinevere become The New Official Members of The Official Disney Princesses and that one day, Princess Tiffany will be The Wife of Prince Lancelot and that they have a family in the future, and that also Princess Guinevere is The Wife of King Artie, that they also have a family and that she becomes The New Queen of Far Far Away in The Future.
Are you five years old? Pls stop spamming
It is worth noting that Gaston likes to manipulate people around him as well. He may not be book smart, but he is plenty people smart. It's why both his plans have him convincing the townspeople to his way of thinking in order to accomplish his goals, which are entirely Narcissistic in nature.
Gaston is street smart. He knows his way around people and being handsome and charismatic certainly helps. It goes to show that there are different kinds of intelligence. Gaston may not be educated but he's not stupid either.
@@tomnorton4277Another thing to note is that Gaston is not a “fraud” when it comes to his macho image. He has build up his fighting and strategic skills from hunting, and probably fighting in wars, and has shown his true strength and speed on many occasions. He’s not just all talk, he can back up his words and prove himself worthy of the towns respect and admiration, which makes him an intimidating villain.
I still can't wait to see a video about Sony animation.
I've always felt the best Disney villains were the ones that were grounded in reality, and I think Gaston might be one of the most realistic of them all. He's a toxic misogynist who won't take no for an answer, but instead of being feared or hated like Frollo, the townsfolk actually _condone_ Gaston's actions solely because he's handsome and charismatic. He's not discreet about the things he plans to do and even admits it out loud, but the other villagers clearly see what he does as charming and cute instead of predatory red flags, and they even aid him with no hesitation.
It just shows how easily people with good looks, money or other benefits can use them to get and do whatever they want, and their nasty, bullying behaviour will be excused and supported by the people around them because of this. You probably won't ever meet someone like Jafar or Maleficent in real life, but we've *all* met or will meet a Gaston at some point.
How is he a misoggonist??
I just just think he's a narcissist
Gaston doesn't hate women
he just wants people to worship
Him & that's both men & women.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 He outright says in his first scene that he dislikes the idea of women reading or thinking for themselves. And later on, he organises an entire wedding ceremony without Belle's consent or knowledge and fully expects her to go along with it.
@@superfanmusicmaker
I think he just wants her
To pay more attention
To him but you may
have some point he
Might be narrow minded
in his views of education
& him being self obsessed
I think it's more about love
Of himself then being
Prejudice towards a
Certain gender.
Normally, when people throw around the word misogynist, I scoff because it's used all the time these days. It's become as tired as screaming about racism and homophobia, so I almost never take it seriously anymore.
However, with Gaston, it's absolutely true. The man is a sexist arse and the movie shows that he has no respect for Belle's opinions or feelings and just sees her as a pretty trophy.
is surprising that even with how much of a demon gaston is there is still people that declare he's the good guy
Probably because they can’t get over how the Beast originally kept Belle imprisoned in his castle (though there really was nothing stopping her from leaving) and that her love for him was just Stockholm Syndrome. By that logic, Gaston plotting to kill the Beast could be seen as sone kind of “retribution” and him saving Belle, though she was already freed before he arrived. Thats clearly not what happened, but people will believe what they want to believe.
God the live action remake did him so dirty…
*reads title*
That's the whole point: Beast and Gaston are parallel to each other in a writing sense. It's just that Gaston is essentially like Beast/Prince Adam if he was never punished or called out
Ironically, Gaston being “pathetic” makes him the worst kind of monster; one that’s willing to cheat in order to get what they want, and then claim they played honorably.
The sad thing is by this time's standards he would be considered a great catch for any woman: 1. He's got a steady occupation as a hunter and would be considered a good provider, 2. Good social standing in town, and 3. He clearly has money judging by his "wedding outfit,"
Basically, the town is looking at Belle going wtf is wrong with you by spurning him. Heck, you hear the blonde airheads actually say it.
Gaston is innocent in some aspects…. But he still needs “OFF WITH HIS HEAD!”
I totally understand why Belle don't like at all Gaston: this guy is a brute without manners although a strong charisma.
He probably don't have hygiene especially 4:56 when Belle covered her nose thanks to the stench of Gaston's feet: his putrid odor worth his toxic and jealous side.
On the other hand although the beast have a beasty appearance is able to show remorses when he went too far and behind his monstruous look, he's such a kind-hearted person who understand his errors with the enchantress. Gaston is probably a dark reflect of the beast or maybe the embodiment from his selfishness.
Honestly if i was a girl i'll probably choose an ugly but kind-hearted and smart man than a strapping but a mindless brute without any intellect and morality
I know you only do Disney movies, but there's an old French version where the actor who played the Gaston character also played the Beast.
Dammit, I Missed!
the most unrealistic thing about this character is that he kept chasing Belle instead of having 4-somes with the blond triplets every day.
Hes a cartoonish villian
Yep you think so??
@@elongatedmanforever1252 Yes, Gaston is over the top. Even Hades is more believable
@@Unsweetened8618
Do you think he's a
Good character or a
Strawman archetype??
@@elongatedmanforever1252 No,
He's not a good Villain in my eyes.
I prefer Frollo or Ursula
@@Unsweetened8618
Yeah he does come off
as a cringe metaphor
for "toxic masculinity"
I personally think frollo
Is a better character
You can see his struggle
with his feelings & his
mindset of thinking he's
a godly man is interesting.
Clopin: “Who is the monster and who is the man?” It’s also implied he would be a abusive parent especially if he has a daughter and how he treats Lefou shows how abusive he might be. But he’s not a villain, but definitely a antagonist. I’m half convinced he wanted to kill the Beast because he saw it as a threat to society since Maurice told them he locked Belle in the dungeon and he was confirmed to not be insane. Maybe he thought Belle was crazy for falling in love with someone who put her in the dungeon. He was justified in believing Maurice was insane because there not aware the beast exist and the live action remake has it that there memories of him as human were erased. How would you react if someone came in claiming someone is locked in a dungeon by a beast, would you think the person is crazy. We the audience know the beast exists and Maurice is not insane, but Gaston and the others don’t. But yes Gaston is still exactly what you said about him.
Jesus is the Son of G-d. He died on a cross and rose from the dead on the third day. He is sitting at the right hand of G-d.
@@wannabecar8733Yeah.
Gaston is not evil he just a tool
Gaston, the Self Inflicted Celibate. His whole mindset screams it from his views on women to his attitude when interacting with everyone. He views himself as above the crowd and that he's absolutely entitled to everything and one he wants. He views relationships as transactional and Belle isn't even a real person to him. She's a trophy to hunt down and brag about. Gaston has no love or empathy for anyone but himself and that makes him extremely dangerous. That's what makes him terrifying.
Hell if the guy was nice and actually respected Belle as a person with passion and dreams, bro would have scored, considering Belle did call him good looking but she hated his lack of empathy or education
what was his view of women??
Exactly?? from what I've seen
he does respect women only
if he sings him praise he's
The same way with men.
Now that I think about it, beauty and the beast goes against the common stereotype perpetrated by many older disney movies, that the ugly, scary looking characters are the evil ones and the cuter, more atrractive characters are the good guys who get victimized. The hunchback of notre dame, like this movie, also puts emphasis on character, but claude frollo and his guards did not have cute or attractive appearances by any means. Anyways i think we all can agree that this fits: "what makes a monster and what makes a man?"
Edit: So this movie also does the same thing that the well known disney movies did a little given that we have Bell, but you get the idea
CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON DR.FACILIER PLEASE, PLEASE🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What I love so much about Gaston as a villain is that he’s a perfect representation of certain men who aren’t very respectful towards certain women’s boundaries and wanted to do everything it takes make certain women “theirs” for his own selfish desires, and that’s by taking advantage of the people they love, which we see with Gaston plotting to capture Belle’s father by falsely accusing him of being a crazy old guy.
We’ve seen most of Gaston’s screen time obsessively stalking Belle just to win her affection in a very unhealthy manner, and Belle clearly wanted nothing to do with him.
Indeed Belle was captured by the beast who had anger issues, but unlike Gaston who’s a monster from inside and out, the Beast who does look like a “monster” still has a pure heart inside him since not only did Belle help him change his attitude and the way he behaved towards his clients, but also found love and happiness within
himself.
Gaston only cared for his own selfish needs to making Belle “his”, and wanted to kill the beast out of pure evil, which his pathetic heart and lust led to Gaston’s own satisfying gruesome downfall.
Nah he's a representation of
everyone male & female that
Think because they are told
Certain things that they are
True, Gaston never loved
Belle just what she represented
"The one that got away" & different
From what others thought of him.
Oh yeah, he's pathetic, all right!
No one talks shit about Gaston!
Why wasn't Gaston a boss in the Kingdom Hearts games?
He was. In the mobile game Union X/Unchained X, the player character visits Beast's Castle during the events of the movie. In typical KH fashion, he turns into a Heartless that you have to defeat. I still wish we got to kick his ass in KH2 tho.
And people say Belle should have gone with this guy. What are these people on?
The same people who think Sakura and Sasuke belong together.
Nah i dont think gaston is
Sexist, hes just a superficial
Narcissist who was treated
as a hero who can do no wrong
this attitude made him treat
Everyone badly not just women
& he was obsessed with belle
Because she didnt have the
Same attitude everybody had
and it drove him mad, honestly
this is what happens when people
Treat people like a god it makes
Them think they truly are, I think
He's like homelander who's obsessed
With personal image a man who's
So in love with himself that he
Views people as less then.
Gaston's obsession with Belle was cringe and gay. She was obviously a terrible feminist with daddy issues. If he would've settled down with one of the better women who wasn't quite as pretty on the outside, he would've retained his position as leader of the boys.
I liked that one of the earliest Disney musical depiction where they didn't have a high enough platform for Gaston to fall from so they quickly solved it by just making Belle a total badass beating the shit out of Gaston to death from pure rage for stabbing the beast! THAT should be a part of the freaking live action version because that would make a better excuse for making Belle an empowering girl boss since it's based on that one particular musical!
Tbf. From what he knows the girl he likes was captured by a monster. No one knows hell become a human. I feel like anyone would do something like he did in trying to kill the beast.
Gaston reminds me of Andrew Tate 🙄🤦♂️
Andrew Tate loves women
Though.
Who is Andrew Tate?
@@a.jthomas6132 Andrew Tate is a disgusting misogynist who made a name for himself online from his rants and how he shit talks about woman and the traditional boomer misogyny you’d find, he’s allegedly been accused fir trafficking (though idk if it’s confirmed) and he’s just a massive twat who hides himself beside a cowardly facade of “masculinity”
Andrew Tate doesn't act like this
at all.
@@a.jthomas6132
he's a controversial
Person who has views
I don't completely agree
With, but he's not completely
Bad he's a flawed person
Like most people.
Gaston, the original incel 😂
Nope he's not because isn't
that guys who can't get girls??
The original Chad*
The Beast is the incel in the story. A hideous creature who spends his time brooding about how he'll never be loved.
Jesus is the Son of G-d. He died on a cross and rose from the dead on the third day. He is sitting at the right hand of G-d.
Gaston was the real hero. Beta take.
