sorry if this isn't something you're interested in discussing/getting asks about but i just saw a poll about "most disappointing moments in disney movies" and "the super cool beast turning into a boring human" was one of the most chosen options and i just hate when people complain about the BATB ending adsjkfsg 😭 like this is a fairy tale, metaphorically it's about the transformative power of learning to selflessly love another, and literally it's about the fact that adam did not choose to become a beast, he was cursed and forcibly ostracized from society, of course he wants to be human again?? i'd get if it was just people not liking his design, as iirc even the directors of the original animated film admitted to not putting a lot of effort into it, but i never see people do redesigns of a human version they'd like better, i just see them complain and say he should've stayed a beast because he was cooler that way or whatever. and i never felt that way even as a little kid so yeah i guess i just wanted to vent about it a bit lol. anyway i love your blog!!

AMEN BROTHER!!!!!! i am always interested in discussing this. adam is my favorite character in the universe and the way people treat him drives me insane!

i FULLY agree with you and i am appalled at that poll option. genuinely how is it so hard to understand?? if y’all want a movie about a beast guy learning to love his beast self, i believe the movie you’re looking for is dreamwork’s SHREK, lmao. the point of adam’s story is that he was learning a lesson in vanity and cruelty. he was being punished. the enchantress saw how much of a monster he had become so she made him look like one and took away his beautiful appearance — the thing he prided himself on the most. it’s a PUNISHMENT! he’s in BODY JAIL! why on EARTH would he want to stay that way!!!!

i say this every time but: no matter how comfortable belle makes him feel in his own skin, that is NOT the way he wants to live the rest of his life. it’s not who he is! he was born a human and he lived a human life for a while before this curse happened! and now he’s got this second chance… he’s learning how to love… obviously he’d become even more desperate to be human again! he wants a normal life with belle now! *shaking violently* why must we strip him of his humanity!!!!!!!
