@@pohjanakka4992 no not a good chance. thats not how it works in real lion prides and the movie doesnt work with the rules of real life. in real lion prides 2 male fully grown lions wouldnt be in the same pride and mufasa would have to kill scar first to kill his cubs. another thing is the movie the throne gets passed down from father to son but in real lion prides sons dont usually want their father's throne so they dont even fight their father for it. because to have a pride means you breed with every female and in your father's pride every female lion is either your mom sister or your aunts. even lions have instincts to avoid incest. you were probably joking but I got a chance to talk about lions and the lion king so I am taking it. just look at my profile picture and then the name
Scar is his nickname he got after Mufasa failed to kill his younger brother meaning no Disney films are perfect animated classics@@user-freedomhateberlinwall.
@@user-freedomhateberlinwall Okay so you have a problem with Matt's criticisms of the film The Lion King. Although you've only typed I don't see any reason why Mufasa would have killed Scar then gave Matt "a big L." Is it possible that there's actually another film out that is the real reason why you're so hard on the man? A movie with the title... *What Is A Woman?*
@@Viper31300one could argue for days the morality of his decision, but there may be another reason. That reason being that of an invested employee of the company who was concerned of the direction it may take if someone with little to no experience assumed the mantle of CEO and did not have the foresight to continue guiding the company in an upward trajectory with the founders mindset and positive attitude. Although he made a rash and selfish decision I believe his heart started in the right place but somehow was twisted with jealousy and greed because of the supposed newcomers presence and the information of the newcomer being the only next of kin with no experience or desire to steer the company forward and in the right direction.
As far as I remember in the tale you can read that the coffin was made out of crystal. Not glass. Remember that the dwarves were miners. They cut the coffin out of a crystal they found.
Oh, 100% agreed. We were all surrounded by idiots. Only my mood went downhill from there. When I realized there were no adults coming back in to the room, I didn't cope well. Seeing evil and corruption on center stage didn't do well for me.
Only during the pandemic? I came to that conclusion a very long time ago and I am not immune to admissions of idiocy in myself. I said, in December 2019, to my other half who was reporting his reading of numerous media stories, "shut the F up about it, will ya. It's a load of balls that'll blow itself out before it gets out of China". That's embarrassing to admit to but there you go. The power of the idiot lives within us all.
Scar actually wasn't his real name. It was a nickname he picked. His real name was Taka, which translates to "trash," while Mufasa translates to "king." It's arguably worse to name one kid trash and another king. No wonder Scar hated Mufasa so bad.
And which language is this supposed to be? If it's Swahili, then "trash" is "takataka," and "king" is "mfalme." The word mufasa does not exist in Swahili, or probably any other language.
I was wondering how far down I’d have to scroll to find the ‘knows way too much about lion king’ comment and here it is in spot number 2. That fandom is crazy for how huge but invisible it is. 😂I already knew the Taka thing so I’m just as guilty as you. 😅
@@DieFlabbergast the Lion King, if I remember correctly, was originally a Swahili story. It's possible some of the words have changed or that Disney changed some things, but yes. It is Swahili in origin.
His support of Gaston is clearly irony. When Matt pauses after Gaston says "women shouldn't be allowed to read," and says we never know why we are supposed to hate him. Smirk.
@@paiginaround The writers plan the videos together, and he is one of them and as the showrunner is in charge of both writing and editing. They clearly write and say the line with the plan of having that cut to Gaston as the joke. Otherwise Matt's line wouldn't be interesting and they wouldn't bother writing it.
Have to agree. Matt is glossing over a lot of the movie as if he didn't see it or forget large portions of it, which ironically is what he is claiming a lot of people are doing with his current movie. Gaston was no hero. He didn't respect Belle for who she was and tried to force himself upon her (could be implied he was attempting rape). Further, he had her father put in an insane asylum in order to blackmail Belle. As far as Belle not knowing who the Beast was, after seeing the rose, the Beast's reaction to her seeing it, and the talking objects in the castle, she used her smarts to realize about the curse and that the Beast was actually human. All tongue in cheek, but it needs a very large grain of salt for a joke that is as old as time.
Gaston having traditional values is certainly commendable, but you can’t blame Belle for being repulsed by his narcissism. Besides, there’s plenty of other women in the village who would’ve happily said yes to him. Why pursue a woman who keeps saying no?
Because she’s hot. And the fundamental flaw in most men: we‘re by tits and ass to the point we simp ourselves into oblivion by women who don’t deserve it. 😂
Because apparently none of the other women in the town were as 'beautiful as him'. He probably could have just gone to a couple of neighboring towns to look for a wife.
Even though Gaston is depicted as extrovertly narcissistic, what about bell ? Her narcissism is imbedded and much more pernicious. Her father was the enabler sheltering her from any responsibility or duty. She developed an aversion to being subservient to something greater than herself. She’s an avid reader yet there’s no indication that she’s reading any works of substance, instead focusing on harlequin type novels to feed her narcissistic delusions.
"you can’t blame Belle for being repulsed by his narcissism" - strange, women usually fall hard for them. "Why pursue a woman who keeps saying no?" - have you ever been in love?
I will give early Disney credit, where John and Pocahontas meet, she actually replies to him in a native tongue and John acknowledges that she can't understand a word he is saying. Then the spirits in the film engulf them in a rushing wind, then they miraculously have understanding of each others languages.
Everybody, all across the world, for centuries, has been speaking a perfect North-American English. Didn't you know? In 15th Century France, the people of Paris spoke a perfect English (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). In pre-Columbian South America, the natives already spoke an English of the early 2000s and they already had fast food restaurants (The Emperor's New Groove). And in Ancient China, during the Tang Dynasty, dragons spoke with a strong African-American accent (Mulan).
The real villain of the story in Beauty in the Beast was the witch to put the curse on the castle. He was a 9 year old boy who didn't let a stranger inside the castle, then was turned into a beast. Again you could look at everyone in the castle as the villains, they kept belle around to break the curse.
the curse is a metaphor, he was a 'beastly' person, and only when you learn to love someone else other than yourself (he was very self centered) and receive love in return do you stop being a beast. Thats basically true irl.
@@Disneydreamgirl33 Again, he was nine. Who curses a nine year old for not letting you into his house? Even if you want to make the claim that he was spoiled rotten, that ultimately falls on the parents to discipline their child.
No prince was not 9 years old he was the same age from the curse to when it was broken. They was stuck in time curse. If you see chip he was a little boy when the curse came on also same age a boy when curse got lifted off.
@akhoneybee9076 Only the inanimate objects don't age. The curse becomes permanent on the Beast's twenty-first birthday, and they've been cursed for twelve years. That would make him approximately nine years old when it happened.
@@Ryuujin721 "Ten years we've been rusting" not twelve. My theory is that the curse slowed time for those in the castle where 1 year of aging for them was equivalent to ten years for those outside the castle.
Fun fact about Beauty And The Beast. The story has been rewritten many times, but the original story was in the mid 1700's.The original story was a LOT more complex...also Beast was just as much a victim as Bell (who's name was Beauty, not Bell) In the original, prince Adam was not cursed for being mean to an old lady, he was cursed for *spurning the unwelcome romantic **_advances_* of an old woman, who was also his former nanny....Chris Hanson? Where you at? I'll summarize bellow. In the original, before the events of the story there's a prologue. Two fairies, one old, even by fae standards is board and goes to the human world for a change of pace, getting a job caring for the then toddler age prince Adam. Meanwhile a king and queen from a nearby kingdom are killed by assassins and their infant daughter is about to be killed. Another, young and beautiful fairy spirits the baby away. Looking for somewhere safe for the girl, the good fairy finds a family that just had a baby, but their baby died in its sleep. The good fairy swaps the princess for the child that died. Much later, puberty hits prince Adam like a truck. He's grown into a handsome young man who is also kind, generous and noble. The old fairy, gets ideas...gross ideas. She approaches him and proposes marriage, fully expecting him to reciprocate her feelings and does NOT take rejection well. She curses him with her fairy magic. Now, in the world the author made, there are limitations on curses. Basically powerful curses have to have a 'way out' clause to function. There has to be a built in way to break them. That key to breaking them can be convoluted and *almost* impossible, but it does have to be possible. The curse turned him into a sort of lizard man (yeah, in the later version he was more like a lion man or something, in the original he was more dragon-esk) The fairy would lift the curse if he agrees to marry her and it will kill him after a certain amount of time. The way out clause had the following rules. 1. To break the curse, he had to get a woman of royal birth to say she loved him and agree to marry him. 2. While physically in her presence, he had to act like he was mentally challenged. 3. He could tell her nothing about the curse After that all happened, the good fairy from the prologue approached him with a plan. She orchestrated Beauty's father stealing from the castle. He did do it on his own, but the fairy pretty much knew he would and trading his freedom for Beauty taking his place as a prisoner? His idea, the fairy lead him to it, but he still suggested it once lead to the idea. (dad of the year everybody). Now a fun fact. In the original, it wasn't Beast who needed to learn a lesson, it was Beauty. She was kind, generous and a good person, but she was also vain and judgmental. She needed to learn to not judge a book by its cover basically. Every evening, Beast would invite her to dine with him. He would make small talk, pretending to be dumb, then at the end of the meal, he would ask her to marry him. She would disgustedly refuse and he would storm away crying. Then she would head back to her room and go to bed. Now, the good fairy had found a loophole in the rules for the curse. The second rule, where it mentioned being *physically* in her presence. She used her magic to allow him to enter her dreams as his true self. He still couldn't tell her who he really was or anything about the curse, but he could talk to her without pretending to be stupid. Beauty was _immediately_ smitten with him. They would talk through the night then when morning was near, he would ask her to marry him using the same phrasing that he had the evening before. She would agree, then wake up. That continued for a while until she started to realize that Beast was not a monster and she eventually figured out that he and the prince from her dreams were one and the same person. One night when he asked her to marry him, she said yes, and told him she loved him, breaking the curse. *EDIT* So this was already hashed out in the comments, but to preempt this so I don't have to say it another 5 times. Yes, Bella means Beautiful in French. That still wasn't her original name. Her name in the novel was Beauté, translated to English that's Beauty. Why it was changed to Bella in the later version I don't know.
I just want to quickly point out that the protagonist in Disney’s version is names “Belle” which is the French word that means Beauty; so really her name is also ‘beauty’. Thanks for this version of the story! I’d love to watch or read a full-length version of that story.
@@monotech20.14BRUH!!! If the alternative to "cringe left wing" is "cringe right wing"... We have "Cruella" and "Joker" movies making "sympathetic figures" of villains... all DW can do is parody parody (which is why they're remaking Snow White and parodying tranny Tiktok)
Leftists: Scar was a freedom fighter that was resisting a nepotistic oligarchy by uniting with the oppressed class of Hyenas to bring equity to the Savannah.
He even allowed the hyenas to overhunt and that’s why there was no more food (that, and the fact that the rest of the animals had fled). He didn’t care one bit about that.
Scar is indisputably the villian, and The Lion King is a right wing film. He ousts his own co-ethnics for his personal ambition which destroys the whole society. He's basically a leftist revolutionary. Now, leftists would say the opposite from his character vs the more community concerned Simba, but they would because individualistic people aren't very self-aware and just parrot whatever gives them status society be damned
Parents everywhere: "Yeah, it's so crazy and totally random that our daughters are so rebellious." Disney Movies: Literally every plot revolves around a girl coming of age, and finding her true purpose and happiness in life by disobeying her father.
One reason why I love Treasure planet is because the parent is never portrayed to be wrong, in fact it shows that she’s pretty much right about everything.
Triton really did something awful when he destroyed Ariel's collection though and made it possible for Ursula to take advantage of her. Still, Ariel managed to help Eric with defeating Ursula, and her last words in the movie are "I love you, Daddy". Jasmine and Pocahontas had good reasons to break the rules and find their own paths in life instead of marrying someone they couldn't love. Still, it is clear that they loved their fathers. Mulan decided to risk her life for her father's sake even after she had argued with him earlier that evening. And all of the other Disney girls who have a father have fantastic relationships with them and never clash with them at all. But yeah, all of them were such horrible daughters and bad role models. 🙄
@@teutonicknight23 What about Jim's deadbeat father though? Sometimes, parents happen to be in the wrong and can’t expect their kids to just smile and be obedient.
Beast: holds her father captive then uses him as leverage to try to get Belle to fall in love with him Gaston: holds her father captive then uses him as leverage to try to get Belle to marry him. They're the same. Its the same freaking plan. How are we supposed to conclude one is the good guy and one is the bad guy when they do THE EXACT SAME THING?
"Once Upon A Time" the only series that shows how villians are made and how they were redeemed and how the 'heroes' do questionable things that ultimately ruin the lives of others thus making them villians
Not Snow White but the Movie called Maleficent with Angelina Jolie was exactly that. I hated the movie's attempts to make evil portrayed as good, but I have always wanted to see a movie (Beauty & Beast comes close) where the guy with the evil laugh turns out to be the selfless hero with no real bad qualities.
Funny how some women would rather sleep with a hairy, smelly, animal with a tail, who randomly poops in giant piles, and has flies circling all around it, than spend a few minutes trying to get a conceited guy like Gaston to lighten up and be more gentle and considerate. Female logic. It doesn't exist.
Gaston really is a tragic hero. Think about it: -He saves himself for marriage to the woman loves, despite a multitude of thots he could hook up with, fathering bastard children who would grow up in single mother households, just because he wanted to get laid. He refused that path. Based. -He provides for the entire village. No one else is as competent a hunter as he is. So not only is my man a vandals contributor, he's a skilled professional, perhaps the only one in that "poor provincial town." -He never does anything inappropriate to Belle. He tries to woo her, and gets depressed when she rejects him. Remember, he's "everyone's favorite guy" and "every one is awed and inspired" by him, and "every guy here wants to be [him] and it's not very hard to see why." He's lauded and praised by everyone, he genuinely has no idea why belle would reject him. Poor fella. -AAAAND finally, as Matt mentioned, he rallies the town against the beast. This is his crowning achievement. This self-proclaimed "prince" (just a spoiled rich kid) claims dominion over their territory, kidnaps and imprisons people regularly (he has a dungeon that Cogsworth knows visitors will be dragged to, how many others died there?) he's huge, violent, emotionally stunted, and is served by an army of slaves. Yes, slaves. You think he pays them??? No. AND they are all trapped in inhuman forms because the beast was such a rotten little turd in the first place. The beast was an absolute menace. And Gaston set out to remove that threat to his people, his town, his community, at the expense of his own life. Gaston is an absolute giga Chad, and there's no way you can convince me otherwise.
@ennuiblue4295 you've got that a bit mixed up: a Chad knows he must always chase, that is his job. He only chases what HE wants, and listens to no one else's discouragement. If Gaston was an actual narcissist, he'd slum it with anyone who wanted him. That doesn't sound like Chad behavior, it sounds like prostitution.
@@JohnW-sy1eo I agree with your point about him trying to save Belle from the kidnapper, but I think the term 'Chad' only reinforces bad stereotypes about men. Besides, Gaston is a pathetic character for wanting Belle to take care of him like a mother, and worse, he doesn’t consider her wishes. He thinks too highly of himself and ends up being inappropriate.
Matt you missed an important detail about Pocahontas: The main "villain" John Radcliffe, was lied about in the film. he did not lose vs an Alliance of Pocahontas and John Smith and get shamefully imprisoned, he was actually lured with several of his men under promise of truce to a meeting place where the Powhatan braves betrayed and brutally murdered his men, then strapped him to the trunk of a tree and built a fire below him, slowly roasting him to death.
@@zugzug0074 No they weren't. The Jamestown settlers got off the boat with the full intention of scamming them. They already knew some of the coastal natives were hostile because the Spaniards had arrived some years back and kidnapped some of them.
Guy on reddit wrote a lengthy story bout it said, "I drew largely from Benjamin Wooley's Savage Kingdom: Virginia and the Founding of English America, and just a teeeeeeeeny bit from wikipedia."
That [VISIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT] joke with Belle as Beast transforms back killed me. That aspect of the story never sat right with me even as a child. Seriously, she didn't know but was ready to throw down with whatever the beast was. Also with Scar, his naming gets worse. Supposedly his actual name is Taka, which translates to "waste." Right from birth his parents told him he was unwanted.
IK this is Matt being satirical, but Belle actually did figure it out. Before, she explores the forbidden West Wing, she's having a conversation with both Lumiere and Cogsworth about a possible evil spell that has transformed everyone (including the Beast) in the castle. Before, the Beast catches her in the forbidden West Wing, she sees a clawed out photo of him and only sees his eyes. Which is why the shot at Human Beast eyes was reiterated, again, to show Belle had freed the Beast and everyone else in the castle from their spell. She tried to reform the clawed photo but then Beast interrupted her doing so. Had Belle been able to put the full picture together, literally, she would've recognized Human Beast, as soon as he transformed. Which is why the hone in on the eyes was an important shot to be included 'cause that's all Belle gathered upon her investigation.
Waste or Desire. That’s so weird. Two meanings that are so far apart. I’m guessing it’s waste like you said. Well, that’s how he’s certainly portrayed. Not gonna lie though, was my favourite as a kid and I also liked Bambi. Hated Pinocchio though. That movie freaked me out.
In the wild, the alpha lion does kill the other males in the pack. The second male would've been killed, in nature. It is like he's an "extra." Sad, but animals in nature are brutal and they're run by their survival instincts.
I’ve never felt more proud to recall that my peers awarded me the superlative of “The Gaston Award” in high school. Now I realize that they were just calling me “Based Chad” in a more politically discrete way. 🏆
Oh, so you too would coerce a woman into marry you and think women shouldn´t read? Even Peterson said Belle and the Beast represent the ideal, a woman who takes a beast and makes him softer. Because he says a man should be capable of violence and chose not to, vs a man that is incapable of violence (hence harmless by default).
@@bam8458😂😂😂 don't leave out the part where he treats people like trash like belle's father. Calling him crazy old Maurice. If your son in law called you crazy and treated you like trash would you accept him? My goodness people 😂😂😂

What do you mean "satire"? Are you saying that Matt actually had zero sympathy for these villains and was just joking the whole time? I didn't get that impression. I thought he was demonstrating how the audience is often manipulated by the writers to feel a certain way about certain characters.
matt is too dumb all the time to engage in satire. just look at his failure of a documentary, that is him trying to come up with facts and accidentally going satire too. Just because youre dumb, doesnt mean its satire.

Gaston's ambitions to become a husband and father are actually good but are not why he is the villain of the story. He is the villain of the story because of his narcissism and lack of genuine concern for others. Belle isn't actually much better since we mainly only see her concerned about herself as well at the start of the film but my point is that there is more than just Belle's feminism going on to make Gaston undesirable. He's utterly unconcerned with Belle's needs and desires, which is not how a good provider should be. He also doesn't take the time to properly court Belle, jumping straight into a marriage proposal without even meeting her father. Most significantly, look at how Gaston treats LeFou. He'd obviously treat anyone around him that way including his wife and any children he might have and Belle doesn't want to be on the receiving end of that. So to be a good husband, being manly is good but it isn't enough by itself. On the other hand, I don't think Gaston was irredeemable. He just needed to learn some humility and to prefer others over himself. Then with his obvious strengths and talents, he could be a great man.
Yeah, it's fairly obvious from the clips shown in the video that they're aware of what really makes Gaston the villain, and Matt is just being tongue in cheek. Though, the movie really hits you over the head with his(Gaston) faults.
I strongly suspect Matt is being satirical here... Anyways, Bambi is about survival when faced with trauma at a young age. Bambi had to overcome death of a loved one, learn own survival skills and form friendship in order to survive. Basically teaching us; if you give up, you die. Forming bonds with others and pick yourself up is what is needed to succeed in a world where nothing will be handed to you for free.
Bambi also grew up under the guidance of his father, who wasn't present throughout most of the film. The interquel, Bambi 2, tells of this period in his life. (Why was the father absent? I don't know. That was unmentioned, but as the king of the forest he likely patrolled the area and kept it mostly safe for the forest dwellers.
Yes, but also one of the morals they wanted the viewer to come away with was responsibly putting out your fires. There were definitely other lessons taught, and some of the most pure lessons about love ever portrayed, between mother and child, between friends, and between lifelong partners.
I totally sympathized with Hades in Disney's Hercules. All the Olympians were just chilling and having fun, eating, drinking and having intercourse on the mountain while he was doing all the hard work, by himself, in the Underworld, surrounded by fire. He had every reason to be pissed at the others, espcially that perverted lunatic Zeus.
@@abcdefghij337 But Hades actually abducted his wife (Persephone), and tricked her into eating pomegranate seeds, IOW "the food of the underworld" meaning she had to spend half the year in the underworld (Autumn and Winter), and half the year on the surface (Spring and Summer).
@@skylanh4319no, the part about Gaston may be taken from heck off commie, although years before he did it others had posted videos about how Gaston was in the right too. It’s just blatantly obvious that the town’s best protector would dislike a mythical beast.
Legitimately one of the funniest videos I have ever seen 😂 Matt Walsh wrecking everyone’s childhoods for 10 minutes straight while actually making a surprising amount of sense! Priceless 😂
Gaston isn't hideous because he's muscular, it's because he's self-absorbed and absolutely incapable of loving anyone but himself. For the prince Beast is a reflection of his inner self when he is cursed Belle is disgusted by the beast when she first sees it. And when the beast turns into a prince, he is not some abnormally ugly man, on the contrary, he is quite masculine
Also, Gaston didn't love Belle. He loved what Belle could give him. Namely, the most beautiful wife, self centered boys like himself, a servant who did everything he wanted. Belle wasn't someone to love and cherish, but one more trophy to hang on his wall.
@@charlessapp1835I tend to agree with you. We can see a sort of narcissistic behaviour from Gaston, only caring about how he looks and not whether Belle loves him back. What if Belle did marry Gaston after he would have killed the Beast? Would Gaston have been faithful to her? They really emphasize the weird relationship between Belle and Gaston in the live-action version of this movie. They make it as though Gaston has some kind of obsession with marrying Belle. It's sad really that he has this narcissistic behaviour because he is otherwise kinda attractive. Funny how there are a lot of things I didn't notice when I was watching this as a little girl. That's how good Disney was at seamlessly pushing their woke agenda, even back in the 90's.
@@aleksandrasialtsis4382 I wouldn't consider it a "woke" movie at all. If you do, you missed the entire point of the film. There were essentially two options for Belle: a partner that was ugly on the inside but attractive, and a partner that was attractive on the inside but ugly. Does appearance matter for love? If so, how much? It's the equivalent of the Hunchbank of Notre Dame line "What makes a monster and what makes a man?". It's not "woke", it's a classic movie TROPE that COUNTLESS books, non-animated and animated films(not by disney like Shrek) play into.
We have an apple tree in our garden that gets the most awesomely red apples on it. One day a tiny little girl was walking past with her mom and they stopped to look at the tree. My wife offered the little girl an apple and the little girl gave my wife a serious hard stare and asked "It's not one of those poisoned ones it's it?". It was adorable.
I've been saying it for years. A war hero. A man that disregarded the triplets throwing themselves at him for a monogamous relationship. A man willing to go out and defend his village from a perceived threat, and rescue the object of his affection. Gaston is a hero in every sense of the word
I always took the hunters in Bambi as just another hazard the animals have to navigate. Not a villain plotting the downfall of the protagonist. The rival buck is more a villain to Bambi. At least he was trying to steal Bambi's girl.
The hunters are the antagonists, but not at all villains. The antagonist of a story is just whoever opposes the protagonist. There are stories where the protagonist is evil, and trying to be stopped by the antagonist. Ex: DeathNote. And there are stories where neither side is really in the wrong, like Bambi
The whole "scar" naming thing is actually worse, because according to the book "A Tale of Two Brothers," Scar gave himself the name. His birth name was "Taka" which means "waste" in Swahili. This is compared to his brother, Mufasa, which means "king."
Correct! He gained his scar from a botched attempt to take Mufasa out early on in their childhood. The hyenas were supposed to help corral a water buffalo and Scar was scarred by its horn🐂
I would also like to point out in the Beauty and the beast the reason the beast was transformed is really messed up he was a young child at home without his parents and he makes the very rational decision to refuse to let a suspicious stranger into his home.
Come to think of it, his parents never came home did they? Like wouldn't they have gone home and been like WTF? Also, how did the people in the village not realize they royals were gone? Also, they seem fine without them. We're the Royals oppressive? Also, just wondering, did Beast... Eat his parents?
Yeah, in the Disney animation, the prince’s age doesn’t really track. If you do the math, it amounts to “Home Alone Gone Wrong” …. In the trash live action remake of BatB, they undermine their message in one fell swoop and instead makes the film about squatter’s rights. In the remake, old hobo lady bypasses knocking on the door and commits BREAKING AND ENTERING. How would you feel if you come home to find some strange rando moving in? And when you object, they’d say “oh well here, how about a flower? Are we square now?” THEN get a curse put on you when you’re well within your rights to reject that offer and want your privacy back?? This stopped being about the message “beauty is skin deep” from then on, and they were doing what tf ever with the rest, which was awful btw 🤦🏻♀️
Yep. He was a child who refused to let a stranger in. And he was cursed for it. Another example of a jaded woman in woke Dysney films who scorned boys and men...the more one looks at it, the more one can see that men were somehow always bashed for being men...
@@peppermintpsaki1157...yeah the remake was very flawed. Emma feminist-nut Watson used to be a truly talented actress until she went totally woke. She has actively bashed manly men, and has complained that the boys she grew up with were “treated differently” than her...duh 🙄. Men and women are Different. The remake really bashes masculine men as being bad. Gaston is a man’s man, but the film paints him as a villain almost exclusively because he’s masculine... What also disgusted me was the reveal at the end that Lafou was a homo. That was so unnecessary and spoiled it even more. 😖
I think it was because of the manner in which he turned her away. He was very rude to her by mocking her, when it’s not difficult to be nice to strangers and politely decline instead of being a jerk.
you might think it's weird that Matt is routing for the villains in these movies, but to be fair, they do have the best songs in the movies, so it's hard not to be on their side.
My best friend actually had a theory about the end of Snow White that the prince, when he sweeps her off her feet and rides off into the sunset, is actually taking her to heaven. This is supported by, in the direction they're riding off, the castle is seen in the clouds. This would actually make the prince more of an angel of death that escorts her up to the kingdom of heaven. When you think about it in that light, it actually makes the end of the story much, much sadder than it is.
The prince represents Christ. Snow white represents mankind. The apple represents the fall of man. So, your friend isn't wrong because the castle in the clouds IS meant to be heaven and man's access to heaven through Christ.
I can’t tell if Matt is joking about Gaston or if he is serious 😂. Like the dude tried to force Belle into a relationship with him by threatening that if she didn’t he would have her father thrown into an insane asylum. He’s clearly a narcissist. Never would have actually treated Belle as a partner. The dude is basically the Andrew Tate of Disney villains. Also to top it all of if you watch the film Gaston at multiple points shows extreme lack of gun safety. Pointing his gun at others and at a certain point even has his own barrel pointing at his head as he RESTS on it. As a deer hunter this lack of safety and carelessness cannot stand!
You mean belle's father, who through luck alone hasn't harmed someone else with his inventions (which are ineffective at best and outright dangerous or explosive at worst) that he built not to better the town; no, he built them to win at the fair. To fuel his own ego. Maurice is a ticking time-bomb, and people had been put in asylums for less.
My wife loved Bambi as a kid. She'd eat venison while watching it. And to be fair, the villains in Bambi weren't just hunters, but poachers, which is probably the only reason there wasn't a lot of backlash to it at the time, as hunting was much more popular back then.
Also they were killing a doe with a spotted fawn. Any hunter worth their salt hunts only bucks or in some rare cases does at a time of year when the fawns can live on their own to grow fat for future hunts.
Gaston was an imperfect man, but he was a man of principle, he wanted a family and he was obviously a gym bro. RIP Gaston, you will always be my north star.
"Principled" by that you mean that when belle's dad asked to not do anything rash while belle is heled captive by the beast .... Gaston just locked him up? You know the faster who the only one who is he witness for everything? Gaston who is so narcissistic that he even bully his henchmen because he thinks he got it all? Yeah sure.
I know it’s satire but Bambi is a classic because of the animation techniques at the time. There was no villain in Bambi it’s simply nature. Her death made him stronger and eventually he grew into a strong man-I mean Strong Buck.
We need a Daily Wire animated feature with Matt as the "villain". Play it like he's the villain, but it turns out in the end he's the hero when everyone is proven wrong. Then he begrudgingly saves them all somehow. "Print it- I'll be in my 3-story trailer"- Calculon
When people say Gaston is a villain, I argue that I think he’s more like a fallen hero, corrupted by jealousy. When people say he’s the worst and most evil Disney villain there is, I argue that they need to go outside and touch grass
@@IONov990 Scar and Gaston only affected a small amount of people/animals. Villains who want world domination (like Jafar and the majority of villains) are way more evil.
Matt and his team are the hardest working members of the Daily Wire. During a week he could have understandably just taken some personal time he brings us this gem. Thanks Matt and friends
Bambi has always been one of my favorite movies, even as a kid. The music alone is absolutely stunning and is masterfully done. That's why you can understand every scene as a child by the music alone. I watched the making of Bambi on the old VCR, and the artwork was done on panes of glass, and each one was moved carefully to make it look like the viewer is panning through the forest.
I tread the book before I watched the animated movie. And it soured the experience for me. The book is very deep, rich in themes, and very very serious, and beautiful. The animated movie in comparison was very shallow.
Fun fact about Scar’s name that makes his situation even worse. Scar isn’t his real name, but rather a nickname. His actual name is even worse. His real name is Taka, which in Swahili can be interpreted to mean “waste” or “filth.”
The villain of "Beauty and the Beast" was the Enchantress who trespassed on the prince's property to "test" him and then punished him, potentially eternally, for a test he never consented to take.
Rewatch the movie dude😂 He didn't go there to "save Belle". Belle wasn't even at the castle. He went there to kill the beast out of jealousy that Belle cared for the beast and not him. It bruised his ego, since Gaston was a narcissist who was in love with himself. He couldn't stand that Belle would rather be with an ugly beast than even stomach the thought of marrying him.
Gaston was scummy for trying to get Belle's dad institutionalized but he was right to protect the village from a scary beast that could possibly eat the villagers.
No one in the village has any reason to believe Belle wasn't at risk and the Beast wasn't a threat to rest of them. He was reacting how you would want your primary asskicker/hunter to response in the face of an external threat. I mean would you want your head guy reacting like the sheriff in gremlins, where he is just chill as your town gets overrun with monster? No, I would much rather had Gaston for that instance, as he would tried kill Stripe and the boys proactively instead waiting for them to destroy Kingston falls.
Gaston is an inverse foil to the Beast. He believes nobody can legitimately reject him, while the Beast believes nobody can legitimately love him. Neither mindset is good, but the Beast grows out of his while Gaston dives off the slippery slope to keep from growing out of his.
He's wrong about beauty and the beast. Gaston behaved in an evil manner from the very beginning. Taking the book away the her. Imposing sexual advances on her and his will. Period
@@frankdeleon4209 True, but Matt is being ironic. Obviously Gaston is evil, but you have to realize that Disney laid feminist misandry on thick with that movie and making Gaston look like an ass for no reason. In the original Fairy Tale beauty is a princess herself and the story is son interesting and involved that one could have made two movies about it, Beauty and the Beast Part 1: The Beauty's (Un)Fortunate Island and Beauty and the Beast Part 2: The Beast's Cursed castle. Gaston is an invention by the screenwriting team to make an ass out of when the story in the fairy tale is so much cooler!
@@Unapologeticweeb He's right though! Like what the hell. The natives really didn't know any better. If you've heard about the Five Civilized tribes, then you'd know that most natives were running around half naked with inferior medicine, housing and security against the dangers of leaving everyday camping (since that's basically what they did). And what was worse, some tribes even had canibalistic practices.
As has repeatedly happened, "Lion King" is based in the old trope about King Richard III having murdered his brother's children. Since the legends that grew up around what happened to be the lone king from that period with a record of seeking to treat his subjects with justice were invented by the power mad Tudor clan, it should be no surprise that the now published record proves that RIII tried to refuse the crown on grounds that it was a lousy job because you could get little beneficial done for all the power lusters trying to kill you. Slowly that old trope is being reversed and hopefully we won't get anymore "Scars" with that "inspiration". And by the way, the kids were simply disguised and moved out of the tower following a kidnapping attempt.
In Gastons case, there was the whole thing of Gaston getting the owner of the insane asylum to come for Maurice so Gaston could blackmail Belle into marrying him. That was definitely on the evil side. Even if this is possibly a parody, you do propose some interesting ideas and I wouldn't mind seeing your takes on other villains. An easy one might be the villain in "Up".
Gaston started the movie as an arrogant pompous jerk and later turn full villain at the end if Matt really thanks this guy is sympathetic or in the right then he clearly does not understand the movie
@@animezilla4486 Gaston is not the villain of the movie, it's Belle. She's an arrogant naive girl who's literally willing to sleep with a buffalo. Gaston was trying to save her from her stupid decisions but she wouldn't let him.
@@georgewashingtom6516sleep with a buffalo ahahaha But doesn't Gaston try to harm and humiliate Belle's dad? I think that is the reason why he is the villain. Also, why is he against her simply reading a book?
I like Bambi, and my son does too, it has excellent music and teaches about death. Most people seem to dislike it because Bambi's mom dies, and it was too traumatizing for them. I don't even think that hunters are the villain, just like any part of nature. There's a forest fire, that's the villain.
Exactly. Its about growing up and the life cycle. The hunters aren't the villains, the other buck that bambi fights isn't the villain and the fire isn't the villain.
Haha I don't think Matt watched bambi, I mean the hunter is definitely one of the villains but the reasoning he said is goofy lol But yeah his mother dying made Bambi grow up faster and essential to the story. Though it's a sad one.
Well, you should not hunt deer when they have fawns still too young to survive on their own, but with Bambi the time sequence makes not much sense - Bambi seems to be still not much larger during the next winter as he was when he was just born, but of course with all deer species what should be at least half a year old animal, or possibly 8 to 10 months, should look more like a smaller adult than a young fawn. At least the roe deer I see here do, and I think Bambi, or at least the Bambi from the book they based that movie story on, is a roe deer - although the adult version of Bambi seems to make him some other, larger deer. But anyway, you hardly ever see the fawns while they still have those spots because they don't move with the does then but stay hidden somewhere, by the time you see them - during the nighttime mostly, I live far enough north that the nights don't get really dark until you get to the last weeks of summer - they look almost identical to the does, just smaller. And the population is irritatingly large where I live, so I'm all for more hunting. I have hit a roe deer when driving 3 times during the last 10 years. They can come so fast out of the bushes that there is no damn thing you can do, you'd have to keep the speed down to something like 30 kilometers per hour at most if you want lower the risk of those collisions, especially when driving on the smaller country roads where you often have no visibility to the sides because the sides tend to be pretty well obscured almost to the road by bushes and other plants.
@@DeCapitanOG I know, but you could have told the story within the actual timeframe of the real lives of the deer. Of course, having an already half-grown deer slipping on ice and doing all the other stuff would not have looked as cute. But I first saw the movie when I was a bit older, at that time when I was curious about everything and already reading a lot, I think around 11, and the time discrepancies irritated me then. Well, I suppose they thought mostly of younger children when they made it.
I am the exact same age as Matt, and I personally love Bambi. It is exquisitely beautiful and poetic. The characters are charming, and the death scene is heartbreaking. (Admittedly, I was an odd child with unusual preferences) My father complained about Bambi stating it portrayed hunters inaccurately, shooting indiscriminately without looking and repeatedly setting the forest afire. He said no hunter would kill a doe with a fawn next to her. Hunters are typically conservationists because they want to ensure there is a forest full of animals to hunt for generations. Killing anything that moves and burning it all down endangers the forest, animals, and the hunters themselves. The novel itself is believed to be an allegory of the persecution of Jews. The author was Jewish and suffered through growing antisemitism in Europe between the world wars. The lonely existence of a hunted animal.
In the beast’s defense, I believe a book mentions that I would be his 19th birthday when the last petal fell. Lumiere says that they have been cursed for 10 years in the song “Be Our Guest”. That means the enchantress showed up at the castle in the middle of a dark stormy night in the disguise of a haggard old woman, asked a 9 year old boy (why was he answering the door? Where were his parents? Where were the servants?) if she could spend the night, and cursed him when he followed the rules of stranger danger. The enchantress is the true villain of Beauty and the Beast, but for some reason she always gets a free pass and it’s sickening to me. Edit: Correcting my mistake, the Beast was 21 when the last petal fell. Meaning 11. Still insidious on the part of the enchantress
She wanted shelter for the night in exchange for the single red rose, but he was repulsed by her ugliness, and then she turned into a beautiful enchantress, and he tried to apologize, but she would not accept the apology, and she cursed him so someone could learn about the beauty is within not on the outside.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan The narrator is never specified, but it is believed in the original that the enchantress is the narrator. The live-action even has the actress who played the enchantress do the narration as well. If it is to be believed that the enchantress is the narrator than said narration is not to be trusted as she could very easily skew the story to paint her in a more favorable light.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan It's still a snap judgment call on her part. Like which way is it Disney? Snow white gets punished for trusting a complete stranger, while the Prince/Beast gets punished for reacting how he should, and not just let random people into his house as a child. A single red rose is hardly an acceptable payment for lodging. This reeks of entrapment from the enchantress rather than a real teachable moment as the crime did not fit the punishment. She just goes around uglying herself up, and punishing people who demand a fair price for their homes total strangers. That seems like a real troll move on her part.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan and even if we do believe her narration, the idea that a child is obligated to open his home to a strange adult is Marxist. Kindness is the choice of the one with the ability to give or serve. Nobody is entitled to the kindness of a stranger. She had no right to force her will upon him (again, a child) and punish him for not acquiescing to her request.
the Prince and Snow White “met” via song at the beginning of the movie, and I believe he was in the woods looking for her. Also, the Beast is supposedly cursed because he wouldn’t invite a stranger into his home when he was a young boy which as Matt points out, Snow should have been cautious of the stranger at the door. It’s funny how in one movie the main character is punished for being nice to a stranger while in the other they are punished for not being friendly with a stranger. My biggest question is how did not rip into Little Mermaid for making her dad a secondary villain? Don’t even get me started on my list of complaints with Tangled as well which Matt could then make a whole video about why the Disney heroes are actually not good.
Matt probably never watched tangled, it's way too new Snow White had a crush on the prince, she is supposed to know him already but have never spoken to him. The prince definitely did nothing wrong in snow white In beauty in the beast I don't think he was supposed to be a child, I think he was supposed to be the young master of the house, a teenage boy with an authority, and he had many other people with him, an old woman wasn't really a danger.
Tangled is the last good Disney movie. It's only shortfall is loose world-building and Flynn's varying competency in a couple scenes. Well, that and making his real name Eugene.
@anonymoose2474 The beast/young master was ten years old because to break the spell he had to fall in love before his 21st birthday, and in the song "Be Our Guest," the candle stick sang that they were waiting around for 10 years... so the young master was around 10 years old
Disagree on the Beauty and the Beast analysis. Gaston was a jerk, probably borderline sexual assaulter, and creep. Belle did know the Beast was human because of the painting of him and the conversations with the talking furniture. And Gaston didn't go to save Belle out of love, it was jealousy, ego, and the accolade of killing the creature.
Gaston in the animated movie is one of the best portrayals of a vain, egocentric person put on film. Compassion for others is foreign to him. Manipulation and self love are his life. Emptiness is his soul. Beast was nearly all of these things too. Both had many chances to change for the better. One took that chance and the other did not. What Gaston was, Beast used to be. Another defining part is that while Beast was threatening and tempted to kill, he ultimately chose not to cross that line. Gaston, on the other hand, became murderous.
I'm inclined to agree. I was just thinking myself, 'the one for Beauty and the Beast is flawed.' Plus, when Gaston rallied the villagers and went to kill the beast, Belle was already back home because the Beast said she could leave. I don't really agree with any of this. I just wanted to see what he'd say.
The main reason Scar got Simba to leave the group was because everyone was his relative. His mother and her sisters and his cousins who were also half sibling. Scar was his uncle. Single males often leave the pack while going threw pubity and become batchulars for some time before taking over a different pack of lions.
Beauty and the Beast was my favorite movie as a kid. Gaston wanted to provide, protect and was willing to ignore the skanks because he wanted Belle. The Beast was a whiney entitled Prince who was willing to doom all his servants because he couldn’t realize he had the best life of anyone. Then was willing to imprison an old man and his daughter just because he could. Gaston wanted a family, the Beast wanted to break a spell. Btw, Gaston is one of the only villains that Disney actually has live character meets with. That tells you people secretly love him.
No, Gaston just wanted to have Belle as a trophy wife. He wasn’t even thinking about her dreams, just his own. She had no interest in anything like that.
@@SweetOrangeGirl yet she falls in love with the creature that actually imprisons her? Notice the Beast only lets her go when it’s about her father, not about loving her.
Beast let her read his books and saved her from the wolf. She didn’t love him until he let her go to save her father and he was willing to be a beast forever so she could save her dad from Gaston. She got along with him before then. She was there only for a few days originally. Nobody in the village was looking for her.
@@kimberlyarlene4094 He was willing, but were his servants? Gaston had everything in that town he needed, but he still loved Belle. Even her father at the beginning wasn’t opposed to Gaston. The Beast saved her because he knew he needed her. The library was a way to make her stay. It’s funny too, she wanted more than just a stay at home wife to Gaston yet became a stay at home wife to a prince…
The hunter in Bambi wasn’t really a villain; he was Walt Disney’s (i.e. the REAL Disney’s) commentary to children on one of the realities of life, that being death. Similarly to the ending of Old Yeller, another Disney classic. Obviously children are going to resent the hunter for killing Bambi’s mother; I did as a child. Almost every kid does. My mother started screaming and had to be taken out of the theater when she watched it as a little girl. But it offers them perspective as they get older and the opportunity to recognize points such as those you pointed out. In Old Yeller, the killing was purely out of compassion, and the movie makes that clear. These are good movies for children to watch and learn from. The garbage “Disney” pukes out these days is dystopian cancer deserving nothing but the incinerator.
I have a childhood event linked fear of rabies before movie. Old Yeller terrified me. The only Disney movie I watched once. Yes I am old and saw it when it first came out I was 7.
@@southerngrits920to be fair, rabies *should* scare you. That disease is no joke with it's %99 rate of non-recovery. Once someone's got it, they're almost assuredly gone. It's awful.
@@cavalieroutdoors6036 I think ppl should be aware. Yt Out on the Ranch with Dr Lee. Had a old yeller event with rabied racoon and his 2 dogs. Everyone should check it out for information. He is a veterinarian and it happened to him in TX.
Yeah, as a kid, I never really saw the hunter in Bambi as a villain either. An antagonist of sorts, perhaps, but really more of a tragic reality that one must face than a truly malicious force of evil. Of course, I wouldn't have put it in those words as a kid, but that's how I kinda instinctively interpreted it, if I remember well.
Yeah, let’s just ignore the scene where Gaston threatened to lock Belle’s dad in a nuthouse as blackmail for not marrying him. The context there was WILDLY misunderstood.
Not ANY better than the beast locking up her father and saying he can only leave if you stay with me, in reality there were two Gastons, the real Gaston and the beast, but she gives beast a chance but not Gaston. I think Belle was just into some kinky stuff. Or maybe Gaston didn't go far enough and should have locked up her father sooner and gave a similar demand. Either way I would sort of argue the women in the story are the true villains, both Belle and the Enchantress, Belle for getting Gaston killed and the enchantress for condemning beast (a child at the time) for turning her away, maybe the true moral of the story is women can't be trusted and they ruin men's lives 🤔
@@midnighttoker9268 "Belle was just into some kinky stuff" - which she obviously read about in books. Gaston was right that women shouldn't read. They always get the wrong ideas from that. "the women in the story are the true villains" - very true!
I've been saying this about Gaston for ages. Also, in the live action movie he was a war hero with ptsd. I'm not saying Belle needs to fall for him but he does need more empathy 😊
I don't know how seriously we're meant to take these reviews, but Gaston tries to lock Belle's father in an asylum and then locks her up as well when things don't go his way. She very clearly explains that the Beast is kind, but he can't take the blow of her rejection and instead tries to play the role of hero that will save the town from the Beast. He doesn't go to rescue her at any point- when her father begs him to help he ignores his pleas and throws him out into the cold. There's nothing in him that could be misconstrued, he's a villain through and through.
Not in the original he wasn't. And why should Gaston believe Belle? She could be saying the Beast was kind, under duress. Gaston was a far better man that the Beast ever was. Belle was a stuck up pretentious gold digging snob, who only became interested in the Beast once she saw he owned a LIBRARY. She taught the Beast to read, something she never offered to Gaston, even though he did show interest in the book she was reading. Gaston put Belle's father in an asylum because he truly thought Belle was in the clutches of a monster, where the Beasty actually kept Belle's father in a dungeon, and left him to die, for no reason whatsoever! Then he traded Belle for her father and threw her in the dungeon to die...wow...what a guy!! I don't know why so many women don't see that Gaston is a far better man than the Beast, who never did anything kind for anyone, even Belle. The Beast only started treating her better, when he was told she might be the one to break the spell. So he didn't change because he was good, he was just using Belle to be freed of a spell! Where Gaston actually loved Belle, and thought he was saving her life.
Just by the first 'review' you know this isn't serious. He throws something true, like Scars name (tho it's Taka which means trash/waste) but most of it is bs
@@TheSkyrimInquisitordo you actually believe he made an entire 12 minute video to be 100% sarcastic? With no vocal inflection of sarcasm at all for 12 minutes? I understand if you disagree with his point but I think it's a huge stretch to think he isn't being serious.
Exactly! And he’s obviously very rude based on his behavior, sexist based on his statements, and overall a bad person for his inability to respect Belle rejecting him.
Ezma wasn’t evil. She wanted to protect the country from a young, inexperienced, self loving, ruler. Kuzco wasn’t ready to lead and she knew this. Now, in the spirit of one of the greatest Disney movies of all time, it’s time to “pull the lever Kronk”
She tried to kill Kuzco in cold blood, and she's not evil? Lol okay I love The Emperor's New Groove, but saying Yzma wanted what's best for the kingdom when she turned away a poor begger in need of food shows how much she cares about her citizens.
Gaston was literally the only person in the whole town who didn’t think Belle was a “funny girl” or a weirdo. He was the one person who tried to be her friend and marry her to give her a peaceful and traditional life, but instead she develops Stockholm syndrome for a rich man-child who doesn’t know manners or social skills. Plus his reasoning was entirely sound for gathering the men to attack the castle. He was shown actual witchcraft seeing a monster in a magic mirror, and Belle was acting irrational now that he knew her supposedly insane father was actually telling the truth and that she had indeed been locked in a dungeon by a monster. The only rational conclusion would be that Belle really had been bewitched and the Beast was a danger to the community.
Here’s a fun fact: Gaston is also a war hero, and based on the timeline, the war he fought in was the American Revolution, meaning he was pals with George Washington.
@@KnuttyEntertainment Didn't this movie take place in France, though, not the U.S.? How would he, then, have been able to fight in the Revolutionary War?
@@DismalShadow France was an ally to America in the Revolutionary war providing upwards of 10,000 soldiers as well as Navy vessels and guns to supplement the Continental Army. 2,112 French soldiers died fighting for American independence. So now we know, Gaston was a hero fighting for America!
We have a quote in French from Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, "Gods laughs at men who deplore the effects of which they cherish the causes", that we say to people who disserve their fate, mostly because they approved an ideology or adopted a behavior that directly brought them into their situation. Hearing your analysis made me realize that some Disney characters shouldn't have been saved.
Story of the Beast would be totally different if he wasn't rich, living in the castle having talking tea pots and all. Imagine if Beast was living in the cave, eating raw animals and roots. Would Bella fall for him? Its a rhetorical.
What people overlook with Gaston and beauty and the beast is this: there is a castle that no one remembers. They haven't been ruled in a very long time. Gaston is the closest thing they have to a prince (it's in one of the scores they call him a prince which isn't really common or possible he's just wealthy) so what made him wealthy? He's most likely the huntsman of the village. He's not just the huntsman but he's taking more than his fair share. He eats 2 dozen eggs etc. And everyone wants to be like him because they are starving and he's hoarding the food. Just keep that in mind.
5 dozen eggs. Every morning. When he was a lad he ate 4 dozen eggs every morning just to help him get large! Now that hes grown he eats 5 dozen eggs and hes roughly the size of a barge! Now that i think of it, how the hell did he make it to adulthood without either dying from a massively high cholesterol level or shit himself to death?
I doubt it. Seems he grew up privileged to be able to eat so many eggs as a child. (Maybe his family simply had a lot of chickens but he probably didn't grow up as a dirt poor peasant). As the hunter he is richer than everyone else. He can sell his goods and buy eggs or trade for eggs. Maybe even gather wild bird eggs while hunting. Plus as a hunter and protector people could just give him eggs because they know he likes them. The villagers adore him. I don't think it's fair to say he is holding food. When he probably brings in more meat than anyone.
To the point about the Lion King, Mufasa explains the circle of life and exemplifies it by not going after the gazelle that were passing by as there was no need to hunt more than what was needed; hence preserving the circle of life. Scar gets into power and forces the lionesses to overhunt to feed the hyenas which basically disrupts the circle of life causing the herds/subjects to leave the kingdom. Scar is basically that communist governor who impliments unnecessary taxes and regulations that force businesses to move elsewhere causing problems/recession for the local population.

@@pohjanakka4992 no not a good chance. thats not how it works in real lion prides and the movie doesnt work with the rules of real life. in real lion prides 2 male fully grown lions wouldnt be in the same pride and mufasa would have to kill scar first to kill his cubs. another thing is the movie the throne gets passed down from father to son but in real lion prides sons dont usually want their father's throne so they dont even fight their father for it. because to have a pride means you breed with every female and in your father's pride every female lion is either your mom sister or your aunts. even lions have instincts to avoid incest. you were probably joking but I got a chance to talk about lions and the lion king so I am taking it. just look at my profile picture and then the name

@@DieFlabbergast the Lion King, if I remember correctly, was originally a Swahili story. It's possible some of the words have changed or that Disney changed some things, but yes. It is Swahili in origin.
His support of Gaston is clearly irony. When Matt pauses after Gaston says "women shouldn't be allowed to read," and says we never know why we are supposed to hate him. Smirk.
Pretty sure he wasn’t watching that….the editors add things in to make it funny like this exact instance
@@paiginaround The writers plan the videos together, and he is one of them and as the showrunner is in charge of both writing and editing. They clearly write and say the line with the plan of having that cut to Gaston as the joke. Otherwise Matt's line wouldn't be interesting and they wouldn't bother writing it.
You didn't notice that he only made these videos to create controversy and get views; this video is very poorly substantiated
@@eric45005 What. There's no controversy; it's a comedy bit.
Have to agree. Matt is glossing over a lot of the movie as if he didn't see it or forget large portions of it, which ironically is what he is claiming a lot of people are doing with his current movie.
Gaston was no hero. He didn't respect Belle for who she was and tried to force himself upon her (could be implied he was attempting rape). Further, he had her father put in an insane asylum in order to blackmail Belle.
As far as Belle not knowing who the Beast was, after seeing the rose, the Beast's reaction to her seeing it, and the talking objects in the castle, she used her smarts to realize about the curse and that the Beast was actually human.
All tongue in cheek, but it needs a very large grain of salt for a joke that is as old as time.
I said to my parents "there's a fundamental dishonesty in this film". Well said.
“Killing your brother is inappropriate”
That edit was gold.
That was as full off shit as most of his thoughts here 😊
He was 8 years old btw
Gaston having traditional values is certainly commendable, but you can’t blame Belle for being repulsed by his narcissism. Besides, there’s plenty of other women in the village who would’ve happily said yes to him. Why pursue a woman who keeps saying no?
Because she’s hot. And the fundamental flaw in most men: we‘re by tits and ass to the point we simp ourselves into oblivion by women who don’t deserve it. 😂
Because apparently none of the other women in the town were as 'beautiful as him'. He probably could have just gone to a couple of neighboring towns to look for a wife.
Even though Gaston is depicted as extrovertly narcissistic, what about bell ? Her narcissism is imbedded and much more pernicious. Her father was the enabler sheltering her from any responsibility or duty. She developed an aversion to being subservient to something greater than herself. She’s an avid reader yet there’s no indication that she’s reading any works of substance, instead focusing on harlequin type novels to feed her narcissistic delusions.
Entitlement/hurt ego?
"you can’t blame Belle for being repulsed by his narcissism" - strange, women usually fall hard for them.
"Why pursue a woman who keeps saying no?" - have you ever been in love?
I even said to my parents 'there's a fundamental moral dishonesty in this film mom and dad'
😂
😂😂😂😂 I was like whaaat wait a minute
Also, killing your own species and hunting for food are clearly not the same thing. Even for lions. Matt used vegan arguments lol

"So everyone speaks perfect English including the trees "😂
Imagine 😂
*when trees start speaking perfect English* is for Americans the prequel for *when trees start speaking vietnamese*
I will give early Disney credit, where John and Pocahontas meet, she actually replies to him in a native tongue and John acknowledges that she can't understand a word he is saying. Then the spirits in the film engulf them in a rushing wind, then they miraculously have understanding of each others languages.
Everybody, all across the world, for centuries, has been speaking a perfect North-American English. Didn't you know?
In 15th Century France, the people of Paris spoke a perfect English (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame).
In pre-Columbian South America, the natives already spoke an English of the early 2000s and they already had fast food restaurants (The Emperor's New Groove).
And in Ancient China, during the Tang Dynasty, dragons spoke with a strong African-American accent (Mulan).
Cultural appropriation. How disgusting (obviously).
The real villain of the story in Beauty in the Beast was the witch to put the curse on the castle. He was a 9 year old boy who didn't let a stranger inside the castle, then was turned into a beast. Again you could look at everyone in the castle as the villains, they kept belle around to break the curse.
the curse is a metaphor, he was a 'beastly' person, and only when you learn to love someone else other than yourself (he was very self centered) and receive love in return do you stop being a beast. Thats basically true irl.
@@Disneydreamgirl33 Again, he was nine. Who curses a nine year old for not letting you into his house? Even if you want to make the claim that he was spoiled rotten, that ultimately falls on the parents to discipline their child.
No prince was not 9 years old he was the same age from the curse to when it was broken. They was stuck in time curse. If you see chip he was a little boy when the curse came on also same age a boy when curse got lifted off.
@akhoneybee9076 Only the inanimate objects don't age. The curse becomes permanent on the Beast's twenty-first birthday, and they've been cursed for twelve years. That would make him approximately nine years old when it happened.
@@Ryuujin721 "Ten years we've been rusting" not twelve.
My theory is that the curse slowed time for those in the castle where 1 year of aging for them was equivalent to ten years for those outside the castle.
Fun fact about Beauty And The Beast. The story has been rewritten many times, but the original story was in the mid 1700's.The original story was a LOT more complex...also Beast was just as much a victim as Bell (who's name was Beauty, not Bell) In the original, prince Adam was not cursed for being mean to an old lady, he was cursed for *spurning the unwelcome romantic **_advances_* of an old woman, who was also his former nanny....Chris Hanson? Where you at? I'll summarize bellow.
In the original, before the events of the story there's a prologue. Two fairies, one old, even by fae standards is board and goes to the human world for a change of pace, getting a job caring for the then toddler age prince Adam. Meanwhile a king and queen from a nearby kingdom are killed by assassins and their infant daughter is about to be killed. Another, young and beautiful fairy spirits the baby away. Looking for somewhere safe for the girl, the good fairy finds a family that just had a baby, but their baby died in its sleep. The good fairy swaps the princess for the child that died.
Much later, puberty hits prince Adam like a truck. He's grown into a handsome young man who is also kind, generous and noble. The old fairy, gets ideas...gross ideas. She approaches him and proposes marriage, fully expecting him to reciprocate her feelings and does NOT take rejection well. She curses him with her fairy magic.
Now, in the world the author made, there are limitations on curses. Basically powerful curses have to have a 'way out' clause to function. There has to be a built in way to break them. That key to breaking them can be convoluted and *almost* impossible, but it does have to be possible.
The curse turned him into a sort of lizard man (yeah, in the later version he was more like a lion man or something, in the original he was more dragon-esk) The fairy would lift the curse if he agrees to marry her and it will kill him after a certain amount of time.
The way out clause had the following rules.
1. To break the curse, he had to get a woman of royal birth to say she loved him and agree to marry him.
2. While physically in her presence, he had to act like he was mentally challenged.
3. He could tell her nothing about the curse
After that all happened, the good fairy from the prologue approached him with a plan. She orchestrated Beauty's father stealing from the castle. He did do it on his own, but the fairy pretty much knew he would and trading his freedom for Beauty taking his place as a prisoner? His idea, the fairy lead him to it, but he still suggested it once lead to the idea. (dad of the year everybody).
Now a fun fact. In the original, it wasn't Beast who needed to learn a lesson, it was Beauty. She was kind, generous and a good person, but she was also vain and judgmental. She needed to learn to not judge a book by its cover basically.
Every evening, Beast would invite her to dine with him. He would make small talk, pretending to be dumb, then at the end of the meal, he would ask her to marry him. She would disgustedly refuse and he would storm away crying. Then she would head back to her room and go to bed. Now, the good fairy had found a loophole in the rules for the curse. The second rule, where it mentioned being *physically* in her presence. She used her magic to allow him to enter her dreams as his true self. He still couldn't tell her who he really was or anything about the curse, but he could talk to her without pretending to be stupid.
Beauty was _immediately_ smitten with him. They would talk through the night then when morning was near, he would ask her to marry him using the same phrasing that he had the evening before. She would agree, then wake up.
That continued for a while until she started to realize that Beast was not a monster and she eventually figured out that he and the prince from her dreams were one and the same person. One night when he asked her to marry him, she said yes, and told him she loved him, breaking the curse.
*EDIT* So this was already hashed out in the comments, but to preempt this so I don't have to say it another 5 times. Yes, Bella means Beautiful in French. That still wasn't her original name. Her name in the novel was Beauté, translated to English that's Beauty. Why it was changed to Bella in the later version I don't know.
Whoa This story is better
it's better, but still creepy as heck
I just want to quickly point out that the protagonist in Disney’s version is names “Belle” which is the French word that means Beauty; so really her name is also ‘beauty’.
Thanks for this version of the story! I’d love to watch or read a full-length version of that story.
That was SOOO much better in a creepy way!
Interesting story, thanks! One minor comment: In the Disney movie, she is called Belle (and not Bell), which means Beauty in French.

A badge of honor
Leftists: Scar was a freedom fighter that was resisting a nepotistic oligarchy by uniting with the oppressed class of Hyenas to bring equity to the Savannah.
The problen with Scar is, that when he eventually became king, he didn't know what to do. He was just lying around.
He even allowed the hyenas to overhunt and that’s why there was no more food (that, and the fact that the rest of the animals had fled). He didn’t care one bit about that.
There was a deleted scene of Scar trying to hit on Nala in order to get a legacy.
He also caused a drought. That’s incredible
Scar is indisputably the villian, and The Lion King is a right wing film. He ousts his own co-ethnics for his personal ambition which destroys the whole society. He's basically a leftist revolutionary. Now, leftists would say the opposite from his character vs the more community concerned Simba, but they would because individualistic people aren't very self-aware and just parrot whatever gives them status society be damned
Scar = Joe Biden
Sorry. No on Gaston. He mocked Belle's father. I don't care if he's actually crazy. If you want to marry someone, do not insult their parents. Period.
Triggered much?
Nahh that shows strength and willingness to speak up and thats a good quality to have. Trust me
"Being rude" does not make a villain
I mean if their parents are the same level of moron......
Also, don’t tell a woman not to read.
Parents everywhere: "Yeah, it's so crazy and totally random that our daughters are so rebellious." Disney Movies: Literally every plot revolves around a girl coming of age, and finding her true purpose and happiness in life by disobeying her father.
One reason why I love Treasure planet is because the parent is never portrayed to be wrong, in fact it shows that she’s pretty much right about everything.
Triton really did something awful when he destroyed Ariel's collection though and made it possible for Ursula to take advantage of her.
Still, Ariel managed to help Eric with defeating Ursula, and her last words in the movie are "I love you, Daddy".
Jasmine and Pocahontas had good reasons to break the rules and find their own paths in life instead of marrying someone they couldn't love.
Still, it is clear that they loved their fathers.
Mulan decided to risk her life for her father's sake even after she had argued with him earlier that evening.
And all of the other Disney girls who have a father have fantastic relationships with them and never clash with them at all.
But yeah, all of them were such horrible daughters and bad role models. 🙄
@@teutonicknight23 What about Jim's deadbeat father though?

I would pay good money to see a movie about the evil queen as a misunderstood advocate of property rights.

Sounds like the basis of a Reason or FreedomToons skit.
Not Snow White but the Movie called Maleficent with Angelina Jolie was exactly that. I hated the movie's attempts to make evil portrayed as good, but I have always wanted to see a movie (Beauty & Beast comes close) where the guy with the evil laugh turns out to be the selfless hero with no real bad qualities.
Didn't Disney do that already with Angelina Jolie? lol
His description of the beast as looking like an "Evil water buffalo" and "Giant mutant mountain goat" had me LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
Totally underrated comments
So which is it, Matt? 😄
I showed this to my wife and got an hour long explanation on why Gaston really is a bad guy....so thanks for that.
😅
Despite her terrible flaw on judging men, I'm glad she didn't on finding you. Stay strong friend.
I would have given her an hour long explanation on why Gaston was an imperfect hero and deserved better
She is wise.
Funny how some women would rather sleep with a hairy, smelly, animal with a tail, who randomly poops in giant piles, and has flies circling all around it, than spend a few minutes trying to get a conceited guy like Gaston to lighten up and be more gentle and considerate.
Female logic. It doesn't exist.
Gaston really is a tragic hero. Think about it:
-He saves himself for marriage to the woman loves, despite a multitude of thots he could hook up with, fathering bastard children who would grow up in single mother households, just because he wanted to get laid. He refused that path. Based.
-He provides for the entire village. No one else is as competent a hunter as he is. So not only is my man a vandals contributor, he's a skilled professional, perhaps the only one in that "poor provincial town."
-He never does anything inappropriate to Belle. He tries to woo her, and gets depressed when she rejects him. Remember, he's "everyone's favorite guy" and "every one is awed and inspired" by him, and "every guy here wants to be [him] and it's not very hard to see why." He's lauded and praised by everyone, he genuinely has no idea why belle would reject him. Poor fella.
-AAAAND finally, as Matt mentioned, he rallies the town against the beast. This is his crowning achievement. This self-proclaimed "prince" (just a spoiled rich kid) claims dominion over their territory, kidnaps and imprisons people regularly (he has a dungeon that Cogsworth knows visitors will be dragged to, how many others died there?) he's huge, violent, emotionally stunted, and is served by an army of slaves. Yes, slaves. You think he pays them??? No. AND they are all trapped in inhuman forms because the beast was such a rotten little turd in the first place. The beast was an absolute menace. And Gaston set out to remove that threat to his people, his town, his community, at the expense of his own life.
Gaston is an absolute giga Chad, and there's no way you can convince me otherwise.
a Chad doesn't chase a woman who doesn't want him.
@ennuiblue4295 you've got that a bit mixed up: a Chad knows he must always chase, that is his job. He only chases what HE wants, and listens to no one else's discouragement. If Gaston was an actual narcissist, he'd slum it with anyone who wanted him. That doesn't sound like Chad behavior, it sounds like prostitution.
What ruined your comment was the last paragraph
@@eric45005 how so?
@@JohnW-sy1eo I agree with your point about him trying to save Belle from the kidnapper, but I think the term 'Chad' only reinforces bad stereotypes about men.
Besides, Gaston is a pathetic character for wanting Belle to take care of him like a mother, and worse, he doesn’t consider her wishes. He thinks too highly of himself and ends up being inappropriate.

The main "villain" John Radcliffe, was lied about in the film. he did not lose vs an Alliance of Pocahontas and John Smith and get shamefully imprisoned, he was actually lured with several of his men under promise of truce to a meeting place where the Powhatan braves betrayed and brutally murdered his men, then strapped him to the trunk of a tree and built a fire below him, slowly roasting him to death.

That [VISIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT] joke with Belle as Beast transforms back killed me. That aspect of the story never sat right with me even as a child. Seriously, she didn't know but was ready to throw down with whatever the beast was.
Also with Scar, his naming gets worse. Supposedly his actual name is Taka, which translates to "waste." Right from birth his parents told him he was unwanted.
IK this is Matt being satirical, but Belle actually did figure it out. Before, she explores the forbidden West Wing, she's having a conversation with both Lumiere and Cogsworth about a possible evil spell that has transformed everyone (including the Beast) in the castle. Before, the Beast catches her in the forbidden West Wing, she sees a clawed out photo of him and only sees his eyes. Which is why the shot at Human Beast eyes was reiterated, again, to show Belle had freed the Beast and everyone else in the castle from their spell. She tried to reform the clawed photo but then Beast interrupted her doing so. Had Belle been able to put the full picture together, literally, she would've recognized Human Beast, as soon as he transformed. Which is why the hone in on the eyes was an important shot to be included 'cause that's all Belle gathered upon her investigation.
Waste or Desire. That’s so weird. Two meanings that are so far apart. I’m guessing it’s waste like you said. Well, that’s how he’s certainly portrayed. Not gonna lie though, was my favourite as a kid and I also liked Bambi. Hated Pinocchio though. That movie freaked me out.
Disney used to be savage. I cried watching bambi at 5 lmao
In swahili Taka translates to Trash/waste while Mufasa means King. His parents kinda led him down this path.
In the wild, the alpha lion does kill the other males in the pack. The second male would've been killed, in nature. It is like he's an "extra." Sad, but animals in nature are brutal and they're run by their survival instincts.
The juxtaposition of defending Gaston while at the same time showing clips of him behaving in egregiously boorish ways is interesting.
I’ve never felt more proud to recall that my peers awarded me the superlative of “The Gaston Award” in high school. Now I realize that they were just calling me “Based Chad” in a more politically discrete way. 🏆
Gaston had gym gains, a good work ethic as a hunter and just wanted to raise a family. Belle still chose a beast cause he had a castle and servants.
Oh, so you too would coerce a woman into marry you and think women shouldn´t read? Even Peterson said Belle and the Beast represent the ideal, a woman who takes a beast and makes him softer. Because he says a man should be capable of violence and chose not to, vs a man that is incapable of violence (hence harmless by default).

Gaston's ambitions to become a husband and father are actually good but are not why he is the villain of the story. He is the villain of the story because of his narcissism and lack of genuine concern for others. Belle isn't actually much better since we mainly only see her concerned about herself as well at the start of the film but my point is that there is more than just Belle's feminism going on to make Gaston undesirable. He's utterly unconcerned with Belle's needs and desires, which is not how a good provider should be. He also doesn't take the time to properly court Belle, jumping straight into a marriage proposal without even meeting her father. Most significantly, look at how Gaston treats LeFou. He'd obviously treat anyone around him that way including his wife and any children he might have and Belle doesn't want to be on the receiving end of that. So to be a good husband, being manly is good but it isn't enough by itself.
On the other hand, I don't think Gaston was irredeemable. He just needed to learn some humility and to prefer others over himself. Then with his obvious strengths and talents, he could be a great man.

Anyways, Bambi is about survival when faced with trauma at a young age. Bambi had to overcome death of a loved one, learn own survival skills and form friendship in order to survive. Basically teaching us; if you give up, you die. Forming bonds with others and pick yourself up is what is needed to succeed in a world where nothing will be handed to you for free.
Bambi also grew up under the guidance of his father, who wasn't present throughout most of the film. The interquel, Bambi 2, tells of this period in his life.
(Why was the father absent? I don't know. That was unmentioned, but as the king of the forest he likely patrolled the area and kept it mostly safe for the forest dwellers.
Yes, but also one of the morals they wanted the viewer to come away with was responsibly putting out your fires. There were definitely other lessons taught, and some of the most pure lessons about love ever portrayed, between mother and child, between friends, and between lifelong partners.

Legitimately one of the funniest videos I have ever seen 😂 Matt Walsh wrecking everyone’s childhoods for 10 minutes straight while actually making a surprising amount of sense! Priceless 😂
Gaston isn't hideous because he's muscular, it's because he's self-absorbed and absolutely incapable of loving anyone but himself. For the prince Beast is a reflection of his inner self when he is cursed Belle is disgusted by the beast when she first sees it. And when the beast turns into a prince, he is not some abnormally ugly man, on the contrary, he is quite masculine
If she would have seen Gaston’s inner self maybe she would have brought his better side out. But no she went for the guy with more money.
Also, Gaston didn't love Belle. He loved what Belle could give him. Namely, the most beautiful wife, self centered boys like himself, a servant who did everything he wanted. Belle wasn't someone to love and cherish, but one more trophy to hang on his wall.
@@charlessapp1835I tend to agree with you. We can see a sort of narcissistic behaviour from Gaston, only caring about how he looks and not whether Belle loves him back. What if Belle did marry Gaston after he would have killed the Beast? Would Gaston have been faithful to her? They really emphasize the weird relationship between Belle and Gaston in the live-action version of this movie. They make it as though Gaston has some kind of obsession with marrying Belle. It's sad really that he has this narcissistic behaviour because he is otherwise kinda attractive. Funny how there are a lot of things I didn't notice when I was watching this as a little girl. That's how good Disney was at seamlessly pushing their woke agenda, even back in the 90's.
@@aleksandrasialtsis4382 I wouldn't consider it a "woke" movie at all. If you do, you missed the entire point of the film. There were essentially two options for Belle: a partner that was ugly on the inside but attractive, and a partner that was attractive on the inside but ugly. Does appearance matter for love? If so, how much? It's the equivalent of the Hunchbank of Notre Dame line "What makes a monster and what makes a man?". It's not "woke", it's a classic movie TROPE that COUNTLESS books, non-animated and animated films(not by disney like Shrek) play into.

I've been saying it for years. A war hero. A man that disregarded the triplets throwing themselves at him for a monogamous relationship. A man willing to go out and defend his village from a perceived threat, and rescue the object of his affection. Gaston is a hero in every sense of the word
The Beauty and the Beast bit had me rolling “Mountain Goat” and “Mutated Water Buffalo” LMAO
EVIL water buffalo
I always took the hunters in Bambi as just another hazard the animals have to navigate. Not a villain plotting the downfall of the protagonist. The rival buck is more a villain to Bambi. At least he was trying to steal Bambi's girl.
The hunters are the antagonists, but not at all villains. The antagonist of a story is just whoever opposes the protagonist. There are stories where the protagonist is evil, and trying to be stopped by the antagonist. Ex: DeathNote. And there are stories where neither side is really in the wrong, like Bambi
@@symptomofsouls well the guy that shot Bambi's mom was specifically a poacher not a normal hunter.
@@symptomofsouls death notes goated, especially cuz that's another show that asks the question who was good or bad.
The whole "scar" naming thing is actually worse, because according to the book "A Tale of Two Brothers," Scar gave himself the name. His birth name was "Taka" which means "waste" in Swahili. This is compared to his brother, Mufasa, which means "king."
Waste 🤣
Not much better!
Correct! He gained his scar from a botched attempt to take Mufasa out early on in their childhood. The hyenas were supposed to help corral a water buffalo and Scar was scarred by its horn🐂
Damn, that's even worse.
9:18 did you literally not hear what Gaston said: He's against reading and knowledge!!!!
Yeah right jeez
I would also like to point out in the Beauty and the beast the reason the beast was transformed is really messed up he was a young child at home without his parents and he makes the very rational decision to refuse to let a suspicious stranger into his home.
Come to think of it, his parents never came home did they? Like wouldn't they have gone home and been like WTF? Also, how did the people in the village not realize they royals were gone? Also, they seem fine without them. We're the Royals oppressive? Also, just wondering, did Beast... Eat his parents?
Yeah, in the Disney animation, the prince’s age doesn’t really track. If you do the math, it amounts to “Home Alone Gone Wrong” ….
In the trash live action remake of BatB, they undermine their message in one fell swoop and instead makes the film about squatter’s rights.
In the remake, old hobo lady bypasses knocking on the door and commits BREAKING AND ENTERING. How would you feel if you come home to find some strange rando moving in? And when you object, they’d say “oh well here, how about a flower? Are we square now?” THEN get a curse put on you when you’re well within your rights to reject that offer and want your privacy back?? This stopped being about the message “beauty is skin deep” from then on, and they were doing what tf ever with the rest, which was awful btw 🤦🏻♀️
Also, why did the servants need to be punished? It's not like they never tried to help the Prince behave.
Yep. He was a child who refused to let a stranger in. And he was cursed for it. Another example of a jaded woman in woke Dysney films who scorned boys and men...the more one looks at it, the more one can see that men were somehow always bashed for being men...
@@peppermintpsaki1157...yeah the remake was very flawed. Emma feminist-nut Watson used to be a truly talented actress until she went totally woke. She has actively bashed manly men, and has complained that the boys she grew up with were “treated differently” than her...duh 🙄. Men and women are Different.
The remake really bashes masculine men as being bad. Gaston is a man’s man, but the film paints him as a villain almost exclusively because he’s masculine...
What also disgusted me was the reveal at the end that Lafou was a homo. That was so unnecessary and spoiled it even more. 😖
Even better question.
Why was the prince changed into a beast for simply telling a complete stranger she wasn't allowed inside his home unannounced?
I think it was because of the manner in which he turned her away. He was very rude to her by mocking her, when it’s not difficult to be nice to strangers and politely decline instead of being a jerk.
Yep. Also, the Prince judged her on her looks-she was an old, ugly woman, (in disguise) and he was punished by her for that too.@@OneShotSlinger

My best friend actually had a theory about the end of Snow White that the prince, when he sweeps her off her feet and rides off into the sunset, is actually taking her to heaven. This is supported by, in the direction they're riding off, the castle is seen in the clouds. This would actually make the prince more of an angel of death that escorts her up to the kingdom of heaven. When you think about it in that light, it actually makes the end of the story much, much sadder than it is.
The Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella tales of the Middle Ages were allegories of Christ and His Church
@@wms72 Of course. This was directed specifically at the original Disney movie and the artistic choices of the animators.
After the Snow White controversy this year, I wanted to see the original movie again. Snow White definitely dies
The prince represents Christ. Snow white represents mankind. The apple represents the fall of man. So, your friend isn't wrong because the castle in the clouds IS meant to be heaven and man's access to heaven through Christ.
Snow White is Eve, Cinderella is Mary Magdalene. Dunno what Sleeping Beauty is supposed to be.
I can’t tell if Matt is joking about Gaston or if he is serious 😂. Like the dude tried to force Belle into a relationship with him by threatening that if she didn’t he would have her father thrown into an insane asylum. He’s clearly a narcissist. Never would have actually treated Belle as a partner. The dude is basically the Andrew Tate of Disney villains. Also to top it all of if you watch the film Gaston at multiple points shows extreme lack of gun safety. Pointing his gun at others and at a certain point even has his own barrel pointing at his head as he RESTS on it. As a deer hunter this lack of safety and carelessness cannot stand!
Not a shock that Matt Walsh likes Gaston
As a partner?
@@timeflowEqualquin Sorry, I meant as an equal. I just equate the word partner and equal as one and the same in marriage.
You mean belle's father, who through luck alone hasn't harmed someone else with his inventions (which are ineffective at best and outright dangerous or explosive at worst) that he built not to better the town; no, he built them to win at the fair. To fuel his own ego. Maurice is a ticking time-bomb, and people had been put in asylums for less.
The Andrew Tate comparison is atrocious. You straight up sound like someone that hates him BECAUSE THE MEDIA TOLD YOU #shill
My wife loved Bambi as a kid. She'd eat venison while watching it. And to be fair, the villains in Bambi weren't just hunters, but poachers, which is probably the only reason there wasn't a lot of backlash to it at the time, as hunting was much more popular back then.
I don't think Bambi has any intended villains. Stuff just happens.
@petscraftsandwonderfulthin129 The only vilainy is on Disney's side : destroying our innocences for the sake of it.
Also they were killing a doe with a spotted fawn. Any hunter worth their salt hunts only bucks or in some rare cases does at a time of year when the fawns can live on their own to grow fat for future hunts.
@@gjmottetnot even a rare occurrence. Some places encourage doe hunting when populations get too high, but never when the doe has a fawn.

Bambi has always been one of my favorite movies, even as a kid. The music alone is absolutely stunning and is masterfully done. That's why you can understand every scene as a child by the music alone. I watched the making of Bambi on the old VCR, and the artwork was done on panes of glass, and each one was moved carefully to make it look like the viewer is panning through the forest.
I tread the book before I watched the animated movie.
And it soured the experience for me. The book is very deep, rich in themes, and very very serious, and beautiful. The animated movie in comparison was very shallow.
WE HAD THAT SAME VIDEO WITH THE "MAKING OF" SEGMENT
Bambi is a film about resilience, redemption and growth.
Lionesses hide the cubs from lions because otherwise they will be eaten. I think that's why Simba had to ran away.
When Disney was good and had people who cared working for them.
Fun fact about Scar’s name that makes his situation even worse. Scar isn’t his real name, but rather a nickname. His actual name is even worse. His real name is Taka, which in Swahili can be interpreted to mean “waste” or “filth.”
Sheesh
Jeremy Irons did a great job playing him though
This is the most Matt Walsh video I've ever seen 🤣🤣
Well said!!😂 I totally agree!
The villain of "Beauty and the Beast" was the Enchantress who trespassed on the prince's property to "test" him and then punished him, potentially eternally, for a test he never consented to take.
Well said
I didn't think about how Gaston never knew the Beast was a human. In his mind, he was doing the right thing all along.
Belle did not know the beast was a human either, yet she was open to beastiality, she was a pervert and wrong.
He did have "Nice Guy™️ syndrome" though
Rewatch the movie dude😂 He didn't go there to "save Belle". Belle wasn't even at the castle. He went there to kill the beast out of jealousy that Belle cared for the beast and not him. It bruised his ego, since Gaston was a narcissist who was in love with himself. He couldn't stand that Belle would rather be with an ugly beast than even stomach the thought of marrying him.
@@KD.... what's bro yapping about
@@KD.... yeah a big ugly beast, i mean back then what would happen is theyd kill the beast then tie belle to a rock and drop her in the ocean lmfao
Gaston was scummy for trying to get Belle's dad institutionalized but he was right to protect the village from a scary beast that could possibly eat the villagers.
No one in the village has any reason to believe Belle wasn't at risk and the Beast wasn't a threat to rest of them. He was reacting how you would want your primary asskicker/hunter to response in the face of an external threat. I mean would you want your head guy reacting like the sheriff in gremlins, where he is just chill as your town gets overrun with monster? No, I would much rather had Gaston for that instance, as he would tried kill Stripe and the boys proactively instead waiting for them to destroy Kingston falls.
The Beast never left his castle. You can't kill someone just because you think they look scary.

Gaston is an inverse foil to the Beast. He believes nobody can legitimately reject him, while the Beast believes nobody can legitimately love him. Neither mindset is good, but the Beast grows out of his while Gaston dives off the slippery slope to keep from growing out of his.
The most reasonable one i have heard was snow wihte the rest of the arguments can be dismantled quite easily.

True, but Matt is being ironic.
Obviously Gaston is evil, but you have to realize that Disney laid feminist misandry on thick with that movie and making Gaston look like an ass for no reason. In the original Fairy Tale beauty is a princess herself and the story is son interesting and involved that one could have made two movies about it, Beauty and the Beast Part 1: The Beauty's (Un)Fortunate Island and Beauty and the Beast Part 2: The Beast's Cursed castle. Gaston is an invention by the screenwriting team to make an ass out of when the story in the fairy tale is so much cooler!

He's right though! Like what the hell. The natives really didn't know any better. If you've heard about the Five Civilized tribes, then you'd know that most natives were running around half naked with inferior medicine, housing and security against the dangers of leaving everyday camping (since that's basically what they did). And what was worse, some tribes even had canibalistic practices.
"killing your brother and trying to kill your nephew is inappropriate.." classic. 😂😂❤
As has repeatedly happened, "Lion King" is based in the old trope about King Richard III having murdered his brother's children. Since the legends that grew up around what happened to be the lone king from that period with a record of seeking to treat his subjects with justice were invented by the power mad Tudor clan, it should be no surprise that the now published record proves that RIII tried to refuse the crown on grounds that it was a lousy job because you could get little beneficial done for all the power lusters trying to kill you. Slowly that old trope is being reversed and hopefully we won't get anymore "Scars" with that "inspiration". And by the way, the kids were simply disguised and moved out of the tower following a kidnapping attempt.
In Gastons case, there was the whole thing of Gaston getting the owner of the insane asylum to come for Maurice so Gaston could blackmail Belle into marrying him. That was definitely on the evil side.
Even if this is possibly a parody, you do propose some interesting ideas and I wouldn't mind seeing your takes on other villains. An easy one might be the villain in "Up".
Gaston started the movie as an arrogant pompous jerk and later turn full villain at the end if Matt really thanks this guy is sympathetic or in the right then he clearly does not understand the movie

I like Bambi, and my son does too, it has excellent music and teaches about death. Most people seem to dislike it because Bambi's mom dies, and it was too traumatizing for them. I don't even think that hunters are the villain, just like any part of nature. There's a forest fire, that's the villain.
Exactly. Its about growing up and the life cycle. The hunters aren't the villains, the other buck that bambi fights isn't the villain and the fire isn't the villain.
Haha I don't think Matt watched bambi, I mean the hunter is definitely one of the villains but the reasoning he said is goofy lol But yeah his mother dying made Bambi grow up faster and essential to the story. Though it's a sad one.
Well, you should not hunt deer when they have fawns still too young to survive on their own, but with Bambi the time sequence makes not much sense - Bambi seems to be still not much larger during the next winter as he was when he was just born, but of course with all deer species what should be at least half a year old animal, or possibly 8 to 10 months, should look more like a smaller adult than a young fawn. At least the roe deer I see here do, and I think Bambi, or at least the Bambi from the book they based that movie story on, is a roe deer - although the adult version of Bambi seems to make him some other, larger deer. But anyway, you hardly ever see the fawns while they still have those spots because they don't move with the does then but stay hidden somewhere, by the time you see them - during the nighttime mostly, I live far enough north that the nights don't get really dark until you get to the last weeks of summer - they look almost identical to the does, just smaller.
And the population is irritatingly large where I live, so I'm all for more hunting. I have hit a roe deer when driving 3 times during the last 10 years. They can come so fast out of the bushes that there is no damn thing you can do, you'd have to keep the speed down to something like 30 kilometers per hour at most if you want lower the risk of those collisions, especially when driving on the smaller country roads where you often have no visibility to the sides because the sides tend to be pretty well obscured almost to the road by bushes and other plants.
@pohjanakka4992 pro tip: If the animals are talking, there isn't really a point to analyzing realism. It's not the intention.
@@DeCapitanOG I know, but you could have told the story within the actual timeframe of the real lives of the deer. Of course, having an already half-grown deer slipping on ice and doing all the other stuff would not have looked as cute. But I first saw the movie when I was a bit older, at that time when I was curious about everything and already reading a lot, I think around 11, and the time discrepancies irritated me then.
Well, I suppose they thought mostly of younger children when they made it.
I am the exact same age as Matt, and I personally love Bambi. It is exquisitely beautiful and poetic. The characters are charming, and the death scene is heartbreaking. (Admittedly, I was an odd child with unusual preferences) My father complained about Bambi stating it portrayed hunters inaccurately, shooting indiscriminately without looking and repeatedly setting the forest afire. He said no hunter would kill a doe with a fawn next to her. Hunters are typically conservationists because they want to ensure there is a forest full of animals to hunt for generations. Killing anything that moves and burning it all down endangers the forest, animals, and the hunters themselves.
The novel itself is believed to be an allegory of the persecution of Jews. The author was Jewish and suffered through growing antisemitism in Europe between the world wars. The lonely existence of a hunted animal.
In the beast’s defense, I believe a book mentions that I would be his 19th birthday when the last petal fell. Lumiere says that they have been cursed for 10 years in the song “Be Our Guest”. That means the enchantress showed up at the castle in the middle of a dark stormy night in the disguise of a haggard old woman, asked a 9 year old boy (why was he answering the door? Where were his parents? Where were the servants?) if she could spend the night, and cursed him when he followed the rules of stranger danger. The enchantress is the true villain of Beauty and the Beast, but for some reason she always gets a free pass and it’s sickening to me.
Edit: Correcting my mistake, the Beast was 21 when the last petal fell. Meaning 11. Still insidious on the part of the enchantress
She wanted shelter for the night in exchange for the single red rose, but he was repulsed by her ugliness, and then she turned into a beautiful enchantress, and he tried to apologize, but she would not accept the apology, and she cursed him so someone could learn about the beauty is within not on the outside.
Never thought about it that way!
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan The narrator is never specified, but it is believed in the original that the enchantress is the narrator. The live-action even has the actress who played the enchantress do the narration as well. If it is to be believed that the enchantress is the narrator than said narration is not to be trusted as she could very easily skew the story to paint her in a more favorable light.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan It's still a snap judgment call on her part. Like which way is it Disney? Snow white gets punished for trusting a complete stranger, while the Prince/Beast gets punished for reacting how he should, and not just let random people into his house as a child. A single red rose is hardly an acceptable payment for lodging. This reeks of entrapment from the enchantress rather than a real teachable moment as the crime did not fit the punishment. She just goes around uglying herself up, and punishing people who demand a fair price for their homes total strangers. That seems like a real troll move on her part.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan and even if we do believe her narration, the idea that a child is obligated to open his home to a strange adult is Marxist. Kindness is the choice of the one with the ability to give or serve. Nobody is entitled to the kindness of a stranger. She had no right to force her will upon him (again, a child) and punish him for not acquiescing to her request.
“They had a full size glass coffin lying around, which makes me question their motives” best quote.
"You think that only because you don't know any better." Based and true. That would never be said in a Disney movie today.
Only from a woman to a man
Based, but I’m not sure if it’s true. Just because you think you have a better lifestyle, doesn’t give you the right to force it upon others.
the Prince and Snow White “met” via song at the beginning of the movie, and I believe he was in the woods looking for her. Also, the Beast is supposedly cursed because he wouldn’t invite a stranger into his home when he was a young boy which as Matt points out, Snow should have been cautious of the stranger at the door. It’s funny how in one movie the main character is punished for being nice to a stranger while in the other they are punished for not being friendly with a stranger.
My biggest question is how did not rip into Little Mermaid for making her dad a secondary villain? Don’t even get me started on my list of complaints with Tangled as well which Matt could then make a whole video about why the Disney heroes are actually not good.
Matt probably never watched tangled, it's way too new
Snow White had a crush on the prince, she is supposed to know him already but have never spoken to him. The prince definitely did nothing wrong in snow white
In beauty in the beast I don't think he was supposed to be a child, I think he was supposed to be the young master of the house, a teenage boy with an authority, and he had many other people with him, an old woman wasn't really a danger.
Tangled is the last good Disney movie. It's only shortfall is loose world-building and Flynn's varying competency in a couple scenes. Well, that and making his real name Eugene.
@anonymoose2474 The beast/young master was ten years old because to break the spell he had to fall in love before his 21st birthday, and in the song "Be Our Guest," the candle stick sang that they were waiting around for 10 years... so the young master was around 10 years old
Out of curiosity, what part of Tangled would you actually consider to be a good story?
@@Es24688the royal reunion with the missing baby princess. Hast thou no heart?!
Disagree on the Beauty and the Beast analysis. Gaston was a jerk, probably borderline sexual assaulter, and creep. Belle did know the Beast was human because of the painting of him and the conversations with the talking furniture. And Gaston didn't go to save Belle out of love, it was jealousy, ego, and the accolade of killing the creature.
🪖Humanity first🪖
Gaston in the animated movie is one of the best portrayals of a vain, egocentric person put on film. Compassion for others is foreign to him. Manipulation and self love are his life. Emptiness is his soul.
Beast was nearly all of these things too. Both had many chances to change for the better. One took that chance and the other did not. What Gaston was, Beast used to be. Another defining part is that while Beast was threatening and tempted to kill, he ultimately chose not to cross that line. Gaston, on the other hand, became murderous.
@@TitusTenStrongumm irrelevant comment. That’s literally what this whole video is
Yes thats true
I'm inclined to agree.
I was just thinking myself, 'the one for Beauty and the Beast is flawed.'
Plus, when Gaston rallied the villagers and went to kill the beast, Belle was already back home because the Beast said she could leave.
I don't really agree with any of this. I just wanted to see what he'd say.
The main reason Scar got Simba to leave the group was because everyone was his relative. His mother and her sisters and his cousins who were also half sibling. Scar was his uncle.
Single males often leave the pack while going threw pubity and become batchulars for some time before taking over a different pack of lions.
Beauty and the Beast was my favorite movie as a kid.
Gaston wanted to provide, protect and was willing to ignore the skanks because he wanted Belle. The Beast was a whiney entitled Prince who was willing to doom all his servants because he couldn’t realize he had the best life of anyone. Then was willing to imprison an old man and his daughter just because he could. Gaston wanted a family, the Beast wanted to break a spell.
Btw, Gaston is one of the only villains that Disney actually has live character meets with. That tells you people secretly love him.
No, Gaston just wanted to have Belle as a trophy wife. He wasn’t even thinking about her dreams, just his own. She had no interest in anything like that.
@@SweetOrangeGirl yet she falls in love with the creature that actually imprisons her? Notice the Beast only lets her go when it’s about her father, not about loving her.

Beast let her read his books and saved her from the wolf. She didn’t love him until he let her go to save her father and he was willing to be a beast forever so she could save her dad from Gaston.

@@kimberlyarlene4094 He was willing, but were his servants? Gaston had everything in that town he needed, but he still loved Belle. Even her father at the beginning wasn’t opposed to Gaston.

It’s funny too, she wanted more than just a stay at home wife to Gaston yet became a stay at home wife to a prince…
The hunter in Bambi wasn’t really a villain; he was Walt Disney’s (i.e. the REAL Disney’s) commentary to children on one of the realities of life, that being death. Similarly to the ending of Old Yeller, another Disney classic. Obviously children are going to resent the hunter for killing Bambi’s mother; I did as a child. Almost every kid does. My mother started screaming and had to be taken out of the theater when she watched it as a little girl. But it offers them perspective as they get older and the opportunity to recognize points such as those you pointed out. In Old Yeller, the killing was purely out of compassion, and the movie makes that clear. These are good movies for children to watch and learn from.
The garbage “Disney” pukes out these days is dystopian cancer deserving nothing but the incinerator.

Yeah, as a kid, I never really saw the hunter in Bambi as a villain either. An antagonist of sorts, perhaps, but really more of a tragic reality that one must face than a truly malicious force of evil. Of course, I wouldn't have put it in those words as a kid, but that's how I kinda instinctively interpreted it, if I remember well.
Yeah, let’s just ignore the scene where Gaston threatened to lock Belle’s dad in a nuthouse as blackmail for not marrying him. The context there was WILDLY misunderstood.
Not ANY better than the beast locking up her father and saying he can only leave if you stay with me, in reality there were two Gastons, the real Gaston and the beast, but she gives beast a chance but not Gaston. I think Belle was just into some kinky stuff. Or maybe Gaston didn't go far enough and should have locked up her father sooner and gave a similar demand. Either way I would sort of argue the women in the story are the true villains, both Belle and the Enchantress, Belle for getting Gaston killed and the enchantress for condemning beast (a child at the time) for turning her away, maybe the true moral of the story is women can't be trusted and they ruin men's lives 🤔

I've been saying this about Gaston for ages. Also, in the live action movie he was a war hero with ptsd. I'm not saying Belle needs to fall for him but he does need more empathy 😊
No joke, Matt has changed my mind on Beauty and the Beast and I'm about to get into so may arguments because of it.
😂😂😂
My niece hated beautiful and the beast
I don't know how seriously we're meant to take these reviews, but Gaston tries to lock Belle's father in an asylum and then locks her up as well when things don't go his way. She very clearly explains that the Beast is kind, but he can't take the blow of her rejection and instead tries to play the role of hero that will save the town from the Beast. He doesn't go to rescue her at any point- when her father begs him to help he ignores his pleas and throws him out into the cold. There's nothing in him that could be misconstrued, he's a villain through and through.
Not in the original he wasn't. And why should Gaston believe Belle?
She could be saying the Beast was kind, under duress.
Gaston was a far better man that the Beast ever was.
Belle was a stuck up pretentious gold digging snob, who only became interested in the Beast once she saw he owned a LIBRARY.
She taught the Beast to read, something she never offered to Gaston, even though he did show interest in the book she was reading.
Gaston put Belle's father in an asylum because he truly thought Belle was in the clutches of a monster, where the Beasty actually kept Belle's father in a dungeon,
and left him to die, for no reason whatsoever!
Then he traded Belle for her father and threw her in the dungeon to die...wow...what a guy!!
I don't know why so many women don't see that Gaston is a far better man than the Beast, who never did anything kind for anyone, even Belle.
The Beast only started treating her better, when he was told she might be the one to break the spell.
So he didn't change because he was good, he was just using Belle to be freed of a spell!
Where Gaston actually loved Belle, and thought he was saving her life.
Just by the first 'review' you know this isn't serious. He throws something true, like Scars name (tho it's Taka which means trash/waste) but most of it is bs
@@TheSkyrimInquisitordo you actually believe he made an entire 12 minute video to be 100% sarcastic? With no vocal inflection of sarcasm at all for 12 minutes? I understand if you disagree with his point but I think it's a huge stretch to think he isn't being serious.
@@oldyellerschannel4676Gaston acts like a bit of a “nice guy” with the way he can’t take no for an answer
Exactly! And he’s obviously very rude based on his behavior, sexist based on his statements, and overall a bad person for his inability to respect Belle rejecting him.
Ezma wasn’t evil. She wanted to protect the country from a young, inexperienced, self loving, ruler. Kuzco wasn’t ready to lead and she knew this.
Now, in the spirit of one of the greatest Disney movies of all time, it’s time to “pull the lever Kronk”
She tried to kill Kuzco in cold blood, and she's not evil? Lol okay
I love The Emperor's New Groove, but saying Yzma wanted what's best for the kingdom when she turned away a poor begger in need of food shows how much she cares about her citizens.
You're hilarious man, I never realized how simple minded I was
As the theater kid who played the villain in all of my school plays, I absolutely love this message😂
Gaston was literally the only person in the whole town who didn’t think Belle was a “funny girl” or a weirdo. He was the one person who tried to be her friend and marry her to give her a peaceful and traditional life, but instead she develops Stockholm syndrome for a rich man-child who doesn’t know manners or social skills. Plus his reasoning was entirely sound for gathering the men to attack the castle. He was shown actual witchcraft seeing a monster in a magic mirror, and Belle was acting irrational now that he knew her supposedly insane father was actually telling the truth and that she had indeed been locked in a dungeon by a monster. The only rational conclusion would be that Belle really had been bewitched and the Beast was a danger to the community.
Here’s a fun fact: Gaston is also a war hero, and based on the timeline, the war he fought in was the American Revolution, meaning he was pals with George Washington.
@@KnuttyEntertainment Didn't this movie take place in France, though, not the U.S.? How would he, then, have been able to fight in the Revolutionary War?
@@DismalShadow France was an ally to America in the Revolutionary war providing upwards of 10,000 soldiers as well as Navy vessels and guns to supplement the Continental Army. 2,112 French soldiers died fighting for American independence. So now we know, Gaston was a hero fighting for America!
@@bezel95"'Murica!"
@@DismalShadow His English was pretty good for a Frenchie!
We have a quote in French from Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, "Gods laughs at men who deplore the effects of which they cherish the causes", that we say to people who disserve their fate, mostly because they approved an ideology or adopted a behavior that directly brought them into their situation.
Hearing your analysis made me realize that some Disney characters shouldn't have been saved.
You can cherish the right of self defense and deplore the effect of having to kill someone to survive.
So often we feed our children garbage without thinking about it and yet still claim that we love them more than anything.
Story of the Beast would be totally different if he wasn't rich, living in the castle having talking tea pots and all.
Imagine if Beast was living in the cave, eating raw animals and roots.
Would Bella fall for him?
Its a rhetorical.
Scar's parents didn't name him Scar. They named him Taka. Scar is a nickname he got after getting the scar on his eye.
When was that explained? I've only seen the sequels once like 10ish years ago
I believe Taka translates to "trash."
Mufasa > taka
How is Taka any better? What was his nickname growing up? Tacky? TikTaka? TakaWacka?
And Taka means "trash"... Their parents def had a golden child "King".
What people overlook with Gaston and beauty and the beast is this: there is a castle that no one remembers. They haven't been ruled in a very long time. Gaston is the closest thing they have to a prince (it's in one of the scores they call him a prince which isn't really common or possible he's just wealthy) so what made him wealthy? He's most likely the huntsman of the village. He's not just the huntsman but he's taking more than his fair share. He eats 2 dozen eggs etc. And everyone wants to be like him because they are starving and he's hoarding the food. Just keep that in mind.
5 dozen eggs. Every morning. When he was a lad he ate 4 dozen eggs every morning just to help him get large! Now that hes grown he eats 5 dozen eggs and hes roughly the size of a barge!
Now that i think of it, how the hell did he make it to adulthood without either dying from a massively high cholesterol level or shit himself to death?
I doubt it. Seems he grew up privileged to be able to eat so many eggs as a child. (Maybe his family simply had a lot of chickens but he probably didn't grow up as a dirt poor peasant). As the hunter he is richer than everyone else. He can sell his goods and buy eggs or trade for eggs. Maybe even gather wild bird eggs while hunting. Plus as a hunter and protector people could just give him eggs because they know he likes them. The villagers adore him. I don't think it's fair to say he is holding food. When he probably brings in more meat than anyone.
To the point about the Lion King, Mufasa explains the circle of life and exemplifies it by not going after the gazelle that were passing by as there was no need to hunt more than what was needed; hence preserving the circle of life. Scar gets into power and forces the lionesses to overhunt to feed the hyenas which basically disrupts the circle of life causing the herds/subjects to leave the kingdom. Scar is basically that communist governor who impliments unnecessary taxes and regulations that force businesses to move elsewhere causing problems/recession for the local population.
I'm guessing this is one of those Walsh sh-tposting videos where he's given a prompt and tries his hardest to make content out of it.
