Finally people will discover that Gaston isn't a bad guy
I have anti-faith in disney
>>151757781Disingenuous argument
Pro-tip: This character never existed in any old version of Beauty and the Beast, and was wholly invented by Disney to shit on an archetype of men.
>>151757781NOOOOOO OOOONNNNEEEE
>>151757781Belle was always the bad guy if you think about it.
>>151757781Everyone loved Gaston except for Belle, the town weird girl that all the villagers sang about how fucking weird she was. I don't know if he needs any more endorsement.
>>151757781It won't be about him and a strong woman will hijack the movie
>>151758074anon, Belle is a girl
>be Gaston>town Chad who is well liked by everyone>hear that the local inbred aristocrat has kidnapped the town eccentric’s daughter and is doing god knows what to her in his decrepit castle>form a militia to rescue her despite not really liking her all the much>somehow this makes him le bad guy
>>151758116I'm pretty sure putting the town eccentric into a mental asylum for the sole purpose of blackmailing the daughter into marrying him is le bad guy behavior
>>151758394That was normal for the time.
>>151758074She wasn't. Just because the film a slight deconstruction of fairy tale tropes doesn't change the fact that Gaston is the bad guy. He still extorts Belle and gets her father thrown in an insane asylum for completely selfish reasons.
>>151757781It's going to be how he grew up in a bad household, and it was toxic masculinity that made him a villain.
>>151758394He was helping her choose correctly because her dad's weirdness was clearly contagious
>>151758489This. Also a buff, lesbian coded female hunter will teach him everything he knows about hunting, dieting, and exercise.
>>151758479She brought the local tax-leech back and placed the burden of taxes on the locals so she could live in a castle.
>>151758508She also eats 6 dozens eggs every morning.
>t. incels
>>151758597>scene where a lanky Gaston is hanging out by the fire one morning while his mentor is fussing with an iron skillet>suddenly hands him a large bowl filled with a messy looking blob of yellow half scrambled eggs >”Here eat this. It will help you grow large”>Gaston looks directly at the camera before chowing down
I like how Belle hates Gaston because he's the gross dick-measuring performative parts of masculinity while the prince/beast has the dark triad traits that make us swoon. A powerful and strong wealthy guy that is mean to everyone but us and the power of our pussy changes him. Gaston presents no tinglies because he already knows what he is and has no angst about it. Also he's bogged
>>151758504Stfu, subhuman tranny
>>151758578Keep seething, thirdie
>>151758508>>151758597>>151758638>Gaston's Mentor was raped by the local librarian as a child, so she teaches Gaston that books and people who deal with them are evil.
Serious question: do people actually care about Gaston or is it just memery?I always thought he was one of the lamest Disney villains.
>>151758578Who is this tax leech you speak of? Her dad?He was an inventor and going to show off his woodcutter to investors at the big fair.Also are we really pretending that 16th century France had welfare?
>>151758647A man wrote this with one hand.
>>151758708In 16th century France nobles collected taxes from peasants. Basically Belle reinstated taxes for everyone in the village because she wanted to ride beast cock.
>>151758708>Who is this tax leech you speak of? Prety sure anon is talking about the beast. You know, the noble?
>>151757781I don't get it, this is the kind of pitch that raises 50 red flags. You don't make a movie about fucking Gaston without there being any kind of political statement behind it. He embodies trad-manly values (loved by everybody, hard-working hunter) but is also painted as an anti-feminist, socially-manipulative braggart (hates women reading, locks anti-bandwagon threats away).I think this movie's angle is confusing. Will it go the left-leaning route of "Gaston and his principles are bad!" or the right-leaning route of "Gaston did nothing wrong!" Basic pattern recognition would convince me of the former, but Disney's Wicked-style reimaginings of their villains (including Cruella, a literal puppy-killer) makes a convincing case for the latter. Either way both outcomes feel like retarded gambits to cash-in on direction-brained nitwits, because character nuance in a live-action Disney film is about as common as Hell freezing over.
>>151758742Toxic masculinity will be the real villain. Kind of like with the Hunger Games prequel.
>>151758479Belle is a stuck up asshole who thinks herself above everyone else because she reads quite a bit.
>>151758756Thing is she only reads romance slop. It’s like a male porn addict calling themselves a cinephile because they watch hours of smut each day.
>>151758755No I get that, but it's just going to create ANOTHER firestorm of controversy. Why the fuck would Disney greenlught something like this if it's just going to be another Snow White-tier PR disaster
>>151758742Watch it be Morbius except it’s Gaston and the Beast as childhood friends.
I think I'll just play the game instead. Shame the Russian developers stopped updating it.
>>151758822>start off as childhood friends after the prince catches Gaston hunting in his forests>form a very gay seeming bond as each helps the other with their deficits (the prince teaches Gaston how to read, Gaston shows him how to hunt, etc)>dial up the homolust as they enter their teen/young adult years>eventually they have a massive falling out over a stupid woman or something, causing the prince to swear off love>ends with Gaston absentmindedly telling the witch or whatever to bother the prince if she needs aid, accidentally dooming his former friendMight be kino.
>>151758060'S DICK AS INCREDIBLY THICK AS GASTON
>>151758822>>151758876This is the EXACT same formula that was in Wicked, Mufasa, and Transformers One. "Friends to enemies" is becoming an overdone plot. Which is probably why that's exactly what they're going to do... goddammit
Rhyming "specimen" with "yes I'm in-" will always be one of my favorite rhymes
>>151758950It would be probably be even bigger than Wicked since it would get the fujos on board.
>>151759015It would be hilariously ironic if Gaston was somehow a major source of fetish fuel for women despite the movie's (both the original and this spin-off) attempts to paint him as misogynistic. I always assumed that most women who watched this film were into the Beast (pre-transformation)
Crazy old Maurice, Maurice old crazy. hmm
will it have the maurice rave scene?
I'm so excited.
>>151758394He was just helping crazy old Maurice get the help he needs. His daughter clearly didn't care enough to do it herself.
>>151759420Maurice old Crazyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAA_c5bbGQk
>>151758056He did too exist before Disney’s, you pissant. His name was Avenant.
>>151758736Hey, lavish mansions are not a waste of tax revenue. Look at how many servants he has. He is a job creator.
>>151758703Memery that turned into some form of interest when people pointed it out. Gaston didn't come off as a villain, from his perspective, it was a literal creature that held Belle against her will in what was thought of as an abandoned castle out in the "dark woods", and then she got Stockholm Syndrome/ hostage complex and in a weird twist, fell for the Beast because "he's just misunderstood and angry". The later is more forgivable than the former. From our perspective as the viewer, Belle and the Beast and all the animate objects seem understandable. But from the outsider perspective, it literally looks like devilry and witchcraft. Fuckin items coming alive to attack you, and your love interest is obsessed with 10 foot tall creature.
>>151757781>ahhktually this bad character is le good>my opinion is no way influenced by my hatred for modern disnoy
>>151758786Because Disney is invested and infested with wokies. Simple as. It's not about the craft of good stroytelling, it's all about cultural propaganda.
>>151759551Also the fact the entire town actually loves and adores Gaston so he must have actually earned this reputation somehow.
>>151759589He was in here tonight RAVINGhttps://youtu.be/2IGmuyEsiDs?t=136
>>151759551Okay, but what was his heroic motivation for kidnapping Maurice as part of his plan to blackmail Belle into letting him rape her?
>>151759669Belle is a degenerate femcel who needed a strong man to set her straight.
>>151759669He only wanted Taco Belle...https://youtu.be/2IGmuyEsiDs?t=158
>>151759686Nice b8
>>151759686That doesn’t justify bribing a guy to kidnap and imprison an innocent and harmless old man. If you can’t convince a chick to fuck you on your own merit that’s kinda your own failure no matter how much getting dicked would supposedly help her.
>>151759686No. She is a heroine who saves the beast from himself. Don’t ruin the story.
>>151759752You're missing one major point.>She ultimately chose the dog over the chad
>>151758508this should happen actually
>>151759790They should also make the village 90% non-white, actually the whole of France and all the characters should be non-white too. It's current year after all, bigot.
>>151759776but the dog WAS a chad
>>151759835I get what you’re trying to do here, anon, really. But to imply there were no sexual deviants or queers in france prior to wokeism is just, far far more historically inaccurate than you could know. The french court itself famously (“allegedly”) had sapphics out the wazoo. That country was on and off obsessed with various forms of lesbians regularly. Especially in this vague, pre industrial revolution time period.
>>151759841
>>151759903Wasn't there such an obscene play/book/biography that was in France around that time that it was so obscene it was banned and burned. It was something like some rich French nobleman locked in the staff, some dogs and children and shit went down bad...
>>151759936They invented trans women, ffs
>>151759963Meant for >>151759903, sorry
>>151758822They actually did that in book form. Twice actually since there's a book of this same plot from Beast's perspective> The eleventh book in the New York Times best-selling Villains series follows the downfall of Disney’s slickest, quickest, and smarmiest villain: Gaston.>He knew he was the best. He knew he was everyone's favorite guy.>You may think this tale as old as time has been told before.You may know about the Beauty, and the Beast, and the curse they broke together. But some stories have more than one ending. Some stories have more than one villain.>Such is the story of Gaston. Growing up, young Gaston and the prince were brothers in all but blood. Their boyhood adventures led them throughout the many rooms of the castle, and into the deep woods beyond. The woods that were home to the legendary Beast of Gévaudan, a terrifying creature whose presence loomed larger than life in their imaginations.>Then one fateful night, a violent tragedy changed their lives—and their friendship—forever, setting each of them down a very different path: the first, of greed and entitlement, the second, of determination to right the wrongs of the past.>The prince, as we know, paid a price for his wicked ways. And Gaston, fueled by the magic of three meddling witches, grew ever more haunted by a singular mission: to become the hero who killed the Beast.
>>151759936Sounds right. I wish I recognized what you’re talking about and could give you a title, but the only thing I’m immediately reminded of is the Aristocrats joke.
>>151759963>>151759981I found the book...The 120 Days of Sodom (or The School of Libertinism), written by the French nobleman Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, better known as the Marquis de Sade, in 1785. The Plot: The story follows four wealthy, powerful French libertines who lock themselves in the secluded Castle of Silling for four months. They bring a "staff" or harem of victims, including 16 teenagers of both sexes, and subject them to extreme psychological and physical torture, sexual abuse, and ritualistic violence. The "Obscenity": The book is categorized into segments that grow progressively more depraved, including a "Circle of Shit" (coprophilia) and a "Circle of Blood" (torture and murder). It includes depictions of acts involving children, animals (though primarily focused on human victims), and extreme degradation.
>>151757781Dave Callaham is the shittiest writer ever. Wonder Woman 1984 is shit. Across the Spider-verse looks nice, but the writing is a steaming pile of dogshit. Shang Chi? Shiiiiiiit. This movie will be shit.
>>151760028Meant for too >>151760035
>>151760035Oh god, I knew it was gonna be related to Mr. They Named Sadism After Him Guy somehow. The fuckin french.
>>151760035>the original smutficMy ancestor…
>>151760035De Sade was big into asses.There’s one part where an old former prostitute (described as a walking carcass) is brought into the room for a demonstration. She lifts her skirts to reveal her sagging butt, and the muscles flex around the gaping dark hole.It’s not an easy book to masturbate to.
>>151760273Sounds like a challenge.
>>151760273You actually read it... what else is there in there? The more I am looking into it, the wilder it gets.
>>151757781uhhhhe's not a woman. they're not going to give him the Wicked/Maleficent/Cruella treatmenthe's going to triple down on being a strawman male. and I promise he's going to have some kind of class/economic commentary too.>>151758056well the way I see it, the beast is the real man, gaston is the fakey fake modern man. i mean look at his face, not a hair on it.
>>151759963Stfu, amerilard
>>151760454Cry moar
>>151757781I mean he’s not even a bad guy in the movie, he’s literally the guy the village goes to to deal with monsters. Hes probably saved them all multiple times.
>>151758756>>151758782belle's almost a female quixote when you think about it although the universe bends backwards for her in her case
>>151760361I was a horny teenager who became enticed through snippets. My mindset was "cute French girls forced to have sex, sign me up".It takes a while before the castle scenes begin, and by then my horniness had become disgust. There's an early scene where two nuns are pissing into a small pot, and a priest is pleasuring himself through a peep hole. The focus wasn't on the two women, but on the size and smell of the priest's unwashed penis. Just absurd shit. I recommend Justine if you want a better De Sade book.
>>151760548>my horniness had become disgust. >The focus wasn't on the two women, but on the size and smell of the priest's unwashed penis. Just absurd shit.Were there any other wild things in there? Also, what is Justine about?
>>151757781Belle rejecting Gaston was the best thing to happen to him because it forced him to reflect on himself for once. Until the midget started sucking his dick again.
>>151757781No one gaslights as Gaston
>>151760950>forced him to reflect on himselfWhat, when he's sitting in his armchair at the pub?Though it is true that most people like Gaston always have a mooching faggot whose job it is to keep them from ever reflecting on their behavior
>>151759438That's too chaotic. This one at least has a plot:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPBMGIUeC_M
Will he launch a Roman candle off his head at the end
>>151761363
>>151757811I think we all do. When are their company going to die?
More live action crap.Passssss
