Yeah that's absolutely infuriating. When children get gunned down in classrooms? Crickets. But when a loudmouth pundit who says that deaths are "worth" the cost of having an unchecked 2A dies? Well that's real shit, apparently.
If they didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

It's possible, if not likely. However, a part of me wonders if the right wing won't want to encourage copycats by pressing the gas pedal on this. We already saw something similar with Luigi in NY; an immediate heavyhanded response, then relative silence. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Anyhow... maybe this was meant to be apparent from the get-go, but I never really paid attention to this movie until recently and this has been bugging me. Also, the Gaston song still slaps. (8)

Throughout the movie, we're meant to believe that the Prince was just a judgemental asshole, but in reality he was a child who turned away a stanky ass witch, got mutilated through magic, and still turned out okay if a bit aggro. (7)

This has given me a newfound appreciation for how relatively well-behaved the Prince/Beast actually is. Dude has grown up in absolute isolation as a beast with his staff's mere existence likely eating away at his soul, serving as a constant reminder of a bad decision he made at TEN. (6)

So basically, a witch showed up at a castle and asked for a sleepover with a CHILD, he said no, so she smited him and the resident underclass. Maybe forever. That's a straight up bitchy move and honestly doesn't get critiqued enough. (5)

But later in the movie, Lumiere reveals that they've been collecting dust for TEN YEARS. Which means... the Prince was like 10ish years old when the original curse happened. (4)

The Prince is then tasked with getting someone to fall in love with him by his 21st year, while turned into this giant (and surprisingly kinda hot) bear/dog/boar/man. And his poor staff are turned into fucking toasters and forks. If he doesn't find true love, that's their fate FOREVER. Wild. (3)

In the beginning, we learn that the Prince was cursed by an enchantress pretending to be an ugly hag seeking shelter that he turned away. The lesson being: don't judge a book by its cover... or else you and your entire staff will be transfigured, maybe forever. (2)
