FACT: Belle did NOT know the beast could turn into a human, she was fully prepared to bang him as is

Hollywood literally cannot tell a "looks don't matter" story without sneaking the looks (or status) back in by the third act. The Beast turning into a generic prince. She's All That spends ninety minutes insisting personality matters, then resolves it with a makeover. The Princess Diaries goes one further: "you're fine as you are" turns out to mean "you're fine as you are, also you're secretly a princess."
I don't think the people writing these endings believe the lesson themselves. An industry that runs on headshots and red carpets isn't positioned to sell "looks don't matter" with a straight face, and that disbelief leaks into the third act. Shallow people writing a story about looking past shallowness was always going to end with someone getting hot again. What bugs me is that they sell this corrupted message to our kids, repeating the cycle.

Yeah he should’ve been turned into a middle aged balding guy with a potbelly. The original story was basically an allegory about arranged marriage. It was written for young girls who would be wedded to an older man. To teach girls that their old future husband might look like an ugly monsters but they might possess a good heart.

At least Shrek bucked the trend
LordKitsuna 3 points 2 days ago
Yes and no, they bucked it by just making the princess also "ugly". Thus "fixing it" we still didn't get the looks don't matter you can get the pretty one as an uggo story

Well, the story of the ugly duckling is significantly older than Hollywood. The "looks don't matter" archetype has always been "it's okay if you look ugly now so long as you become beautiful in the end."

Yep. While they had top character designs for the mains, the "transformed prince" looks like a design afterthought, done by the studio apprentice. Not just second tier character, more like a sketchup in a hurry.
I almost expected Belle to say "That's it? Can I have my beast back, it looked better!"

It's kinda lucky that she was also into humans, and not exclusively furry.

She was probably super sad the beast turned into a human, as she was only with him to please her furry kink.
The Beauty and the Beast, part 2: Bell tries to deliberately turn her partner into a beast again by consulting all the witches in the region. She hides all the magic potions inside his food, but they appear not to be working properly. At one point she mixes up the dishes, making her eat the magic potion, turning her into a beast. Suddenly, the partner realizes, he was a furry all along.

I saw this in theaters as a little girl, it’s actually the first movie I saw at theaters. Even as a kid who hadn’t even hit puberty yet I was so disappointed by his human form lol, he’s cuter as the beast! I know most of my friends at the time also found prince Adam to be unattractive

As one billion fangirls (and some bois) have pointed out: he was more fuckable as a beast.
