@@adrianmcbride1666 I do not disagree with you exactly but your example is wrong, if someone trespasses into your home you don't have the authority to lock them up in a room as punishment for it, that's a deprivation of freedom, their crime doesn't excuse you to commit another one BUT, that's our modern standard of law, in Belle's time, and with the Beast being royal he *does* have the authority to lock a trespasser in a room as punishment (which is probably the reason the whole calling the Beast a kidnapper comes from)

4:20 somehow, Matthew's classic stare into the camera, and evil monologue is creepier with the eyeliner, and I mean that as a sincere compliment.

[@benjaminwoods126]

One of these days he will remember to read the description for the story that lead to the villain songs: Case in Point: - Brave - Merida failed to stop her father from killing her mother and little brothers, and is now seeking revenge. - Beauty and the Beast - Yeah you pretty much nailed this one. - Dolores - When the magic returned, The sudden rush of the voices and her emotions caused her powers to evolve to remove people from being able make a noise, and emitting sound waves from her body. - Repunzel - Gothel had gotten Flynn captured so that she could swoop in and steal Repunzel back (this plays into the sequel song)

[@emilyschomer6715]

4:58 Those are his sons, they turned into bear cubs. He probably killed all the bears thinking they were a threat and she's angry

[@RisingRose]

might be saying this too soon cause i havent finished the video yet, but fyi there's 100% reasons why she killed everyone in the first song. The story summary is usually in the description of the videos

[@Potatocrime24-7]

Not only does Dolores hear everything. But loud sounds are 10×s louder to her so when they cheer or clap or set off fire works she has to cover her ears due to how loud it is to her. Merida's father killed her mother (unaware that his wife was the bear he killed) and forces her to follow tradition and marry. So she wears her mother's pelt as a reminder of what happened and took matters into her own hands to break tradition. Belle made the beast fall in love with her before betraying him so he would obey her when he became a full on monster.

[@youseffarw3335]

[@MrsHateLove95]

8:32 honestly Beauty and the Beast 2 reinforces that idea since it shows that Belle was trapped in that castle for WAY longer than the first movie implies.

[@BliffleSplick]

As Dolores is basically tortured by noise, in a house of extended family, her losing her powers was probably a very very very WELCOME reprieve

[@Itziwitzi_B]

Ok but you neeed to hear Lydia's Debout Ep!! "Afraid of Quiet", "Don't Cry for your daughters Eve" and "Devil 'fore the fall" are all original songs by Lydia and they are amazing!

[@TinkRomero]

Honestly, I wonder if Dolores is blessed with Super Hearing as well as the endurance to handle the Super Hearing. In the movie she was able to single out a single voice out of the entire town,(when Grandma asks Dolores how many kids that Fiancé Guy wanted.), so Dolores definitely has some control over what she’s hearing.

[@ethanbuttazzi2602]

alright since you completely missed the start, of the melida one, lemme explain, in this version melida and her mum werent able to break the curse, and her mum turns into a bear, so do the other children, and to add salt to injury her father skins her mother and the cubs as the cloacks we see, after that her father forces her hand in marriage, but she runs, and after a few years she comes back, also if you dont understand exacly what went down the description in the villain soungs ALWAYS explain how it came to that point.

[@ravaralyn]

Matthew the description of the villain song it explains the story, but in short Merida couldnt save her mother in time and mother became a full bear, Mother/Bear then goes to attack merida and father kills the Mother/bear to protect merida cand kills the bears cubs to, Merida is wearing her mother pelt and the father has the three brother/bears on his left shoulder.

[@heavennunya809]

For what it's worth, Beast was not a kidnapper, exactly lol. The Beast is a prince of the land. Belle's father basically trespassed into the Beast's castle, and was imprisoned for his crime (now, the Beast was being unkind, not considering the man's position, but that's what the movie is about, he was still in every right to imprison Belle's father based on the laws of the time). Belle plead to be exchanged for her father. The Beast agreed. They both agreed she would be imprisoned and her father would go free, and the Beast only agreed to this because he needed to make someone fall in love with him. After that, he changed. Now, they are not an example of Stockholm syndrome for many reasons. One being, stockholm syndrome relies on the victim gaining a psychological dependence on their captor. The Beast fell for Belle, but Belle did not fully fall in love with the Beast until he was at his deathbed. That is why it was only then that he changed back. Furthermore, Belle did not even come to care for the Beast until HE changed. Until he ceased his cruelty. Stockholm syndrome would suggest a change in Belle with Beast not really changing, or at most becoming slightly more lenient and painting it as some great kindness. Another point, Belle was free to leave..... fairly quickly. When Belle ran after the Beast scared her, he did not drag her back. He clearly followed her, because the forest was dangerous, but he did not attack her, he only appeared when the wolves attacked. Also, not much longer after that, the Beast chose to let her leave with permission, understanding she was likely never going to come back. None of this is indicative of Stockholm Syndrome.
