While he was a bit of a loose cannon, I never felt that Beetlejuice was really an antagonist. I mean, he DID save the Maitland's. I felt bad for him at the end.

Hes not really evil but he's also the villian by default just because he's the one causing problems. However no he's not evil just more wild and crazy which makes him dangerous.

More like a perverted antihero, he did what he promised with very questionable methods and then he tried to force a minor to marry him

[@Lee-zw5km]

Roll on the next belated film! ❤️

[@PrimetimeD]

One of the things that always cracked me up about this scene is the Beetlejuice is in this huge hurry to get done with the wedding, but when the undead priest dude asks if he takes Lydia to be his wife, he runs a couple feet away and has a little talk with himself about whether he actually wants to do it. I like to think of this as one of his flaws. He's got immense power, but his two great weaknesses are the name being said three times and his inability to be serious for any great length of time.

[@rebekahjackson5996]

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

I feel like a lot of people don't realize that. Yeah, he shouldn't have done that to a minor, but he told her what he wanted and she agreed to it. I've noticed he'll stretch the truth, but I don't think he outright lied in the movie.

[@kyleroberts3814]

@@SexySkoChick This is probably naive, but I loved the animated show as a kid and I kinda want to believe that their relationship might have played out the same way. Maybe once he wasn't dead anymore, he could chill out and tone down the antics and hell, Lydia isn't your average girl either, maybe in time she'd find herself saying "Eh, I could've done worse. At least he's not one of those boring boys at school." or something.

[@lindsey.13.13.]

the part where adam tries to say beetlejuice and his jaw falls off is kinda funny but also weirdly wholesome. first of all, he’s literally being exorcised and his body is decaying. yet he still tries to save lydia. and second of all, the way barbara grabs his jaw and tries to put it back is adorable in a super sad way. like obviously it’s hopeless but her first instinct was to fix him. this is kind of dark but it reminds me of how jfk’s wife was reaching out the back of the car when he was assassinated to grab brain matter (this is just a theory)

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

@randomperson22856 He was more of a villain protagonist than an antagonist in the musical, considering how much of a link he is to the audience. Neither medium made him the heart exactly - in the movie it was the Maitlands and in the musical it was Lydia - but the musical made him both more active in his goals and more sympathetic. Feeling invisible and restrained are very relatable. Making that the reason he and Lydia start bonding was also wise. I feel like their brief friendship was something that was influenced by the cartoon.
