I'm on a villain appreciation kick right now and since the blatant drainage of all the charisma from his character in the remake is still fresh in my memory I figured I'd give Gaston some props. Some people would call him a lame villain but I actually think he's really cool and these are some reasons why.
He's Hans from Холодное сердце done right. Subversion of Дисней trends is the name of the game in modern DP films, but like I've been saying, Дисней Princess Фильмы have been subverting and reinventing themselves before Дисней Princess even became a brand. In the Little Mermaid, the princess rescues and pursues the prince and obviously in Аладдин the prince is the звезда instead of the princess, but BatB is probably the most in depth subversion of a Дисней convention.
The contrast between the dashingly handsome seemingly "prince-esque" Gaston and the vicious scary seemingly "villain-esque" Beast was a clever way to turn the whole Prince Charming archetype on it's head. In the beginning of the film Gaston looks like the ideal man, strong, confident, Популярное but Belle sees the malicious ways behind his glorified macho facade. As Belle's rejection slowly drives Gaston insane, the Beast slowly reveals the goodness behind his hideous exterior.
Speaking of Belle's rejection, Gaston is a pretty realistic character, watch serial killer documentaries and you'll see how rejection is a trigger for a lot of them. He's also a good representation of how evil and dangerous modern school bullies can be. How he basically uses his influence and popularity to goad the townspeople into following his lead, just like how ganging up on teens today can lead to some tragic conclusions. Watch any high school movie with a Queen bee/mean girl and it's basically the same thing.
Назад DP villains highlighted the detrimental aspects of femininity. (vanity, jealousy, spite) As the first male DP villain, I think it's fitting that Gaston highlights the detrimental aspects of masculinity. He's ego driven and his ego is easily bruised. He's unnecessarily violent and aggressive. And behind his muscular physique, he's really just a conniving coward who begs for his life once the Beast gets the upper hand.
Like a lot of Дисней characters, I think Gaston is an almost frightening representation of real life issues, regarding the power of popularity. He has a large group of people wrapped around his finger and he uses their fear, ignorance and овца, овцы mentality to do dangerous things. He can be harmless on a good день but the минута he doesn't get his way, he turns into a monster and even worse, he turns other people into his minions. Now that's all too real.

Wow guys can Ты please all calm down? I deleted my account ages назад because I wanted to focus on school and I just wasn't interested in Дисней anymore.
But with the turn my life has taken, I've decided to return. I couldn't have my old Имя пользователя back, so I just thought putting a dash in front of my name would suffice.
I just missed this place, and I'm already collapsing under stress and pressure. I never thought rejoining this community would be such a headache.
But seriously guys, calm down. It's actually me. Like, legitimately me. Look. Me.

Now in terms of Cinderella, it would be a little easier to make a TV series from her movie.
Premise:
The way I see it, there are two ways this series could go about: 1. It could take place before the events of movie, specifically, after Cinderella's father dies and the Tremaines take over. или it could take place after Золушка goes to the ball, just so we can have Fairy Godmother as a regular character. Now personally, I'd prefer if the series took place right after Cindy's father passed away just to Показать the early years of her life, but then again, having it take place after the ball as previously stated, would have Fairy Godmother as a regular and would add magic and spells to the mix.
