I... well, yes.
I mean, normally these "adult hot take" things on children stories are forced to present a cynical joke, but... yeah no, that's the entire point of the story. Like, that's the plot. It's what the movie is literally about.
If you really want to get down to brass tacks about it, the movie was saying love can transcend appearance, not necessarily sex. Loving relationships don't have to include gargling beast balls, so I'd say the adult hot take is still valid.
I don't know, that's very clearly romantic love they're talking about throughout the whole thing. The entire point of the curse is making the Beast ugly so he'd have to be nice to get some, and she certainly didn't get into that dress to friendzone him.
You made me go check, the curse demands that he "learn to love another, and earn HER love in return". I don't think beloved drinking buddies would have cut it. This is not subtext, it's the text.
I mean yes but asexuals exist and we can feel romantic love too
Disney in general shows very clearly only romantic love
The Internet shows the rest
gargling beast balls - name of my sex tape.
Name of my death metal band
That is way more punk than metal.
Could be punk too yeah
I did not expect to read that particular sentence when I got up this morning.
So it did help you get up then?
Brass tacks. 🤔 Always would have assumed brass tax, but now I know. Funny how I’ve probably never seen those two words written together in over 40 years.
An eggcorn! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggcorn
Bone Apple Tea has a Wikipedia entry?!
My new word for the day! Thank you :)
I feel betrayed
Right! What else isn’t as we assume. The whole fabric of reality is crumbling around us.
I know idioms don't necessarily have to make sense, but how were you imagining getting down to a tax? Like it was at the bottom of a list of taxes or something?
I don’t really know if I ever gave it any thought, but thinking now I would likely have assumed there might have been a tax on brass goods at some point. 🤷
Sex can transcend appearance much easier than love can.
My argument: as a shepherd, would you realistically consider any of your sheep as a love interest?
I rest my case.
Depends. In this scenario, how Welsh am I?
Where do you think the idea of using sheep intestines as condom comes from?
Lol, fair point
Belle discovering that she had a monster-fucker kink, mid-Stockholm Syndrome/Lima Syndrome tango, only to have that taken away from her at the last minute?
You saw her face at the end of the movie, it wasn't just surprise, it was disappointment! 😂
Still, she and Beast working through their problems and having a healthy relationship after... well, the involuntary confinement thing was over.
