The movie is trash. It has virtually nothing in common with the book. The book was written by Alex Flinn, a lawyer who worked with teen offenders, so (in nearly all of her books) she wrote about teenagers who are genuinely terrible but unlearn the toxic behavior and thought patterns because they gain trusted adults and get away from the abusive or neglectful adults in their life. Kyle is turned into a Disney style beast. He never goes outside because he doesn't want anyone to see him or to end up in the Enquirer or whatever. He gives a flower to Lindy at the beginning because his gf was angry he didn't get her an orchid. Lindy is not Vanessa Hudgens... She is short with frizzy red hair, very crooked teeth, and wears almost solely musical merch because she wants to be a theater kid but is too shy and doesn't have time. She volunteers as much as she can in addition to getting As in school because she wants to go to college to escape her current situation. Her dad does break into Kyle's house in the book and when caught immediately and without prompting offers his teenage daughter in exchange for the security tape. Her dad is shown to be nothing but a pile of garbage, but Lindy still feels like she needs to take care of him. Part of her arc is learning how to have fun and be young. The blind tutor thing is explained because his dad specifically wants no one to tell the press about his son. He gives Kyle specific instructions that he should not tell the tutor about his condition. Kyle immediately telling him is a huge FU to his dad in the book, and the tutor doesn't fully believe him, getting pissed at first thinking he was trying to prank the blind guy. He also acts like a normal blind guy in the book. He isn't bitter. He lives a fairly fulfilling life, he was just offered an obscene amount of money and free room and board in a super nice apartment in exchange for teaching 1 teenager - then 2 teenagers. The witch is originally depicted as just a goth high school girl who Kyle and his friends regularly bully because she draws pentagrams on everything, has acne, and is fat.

I think being turned into a candelabra is kind of a super power. You never age or die or need to eat, drink, or breath. You have night vision from your flaming hands. Oh yeah, you have flaming hands. Also, Lumiere must also have infinite wax because he never burns down, so infinite wax is kinda a useful power if your goal is selling candle wax. The only drawbacks are slower on-land movement and the lack of hands. But now let's get to the headcanon powers. With dripping wax you might not have hands but you can write in wax. And if there's INFINITE wax and a source of heat, why can't the wax be molded into any shape and size like Mr. Fantastic's stretch powers. And finally, we get back to the fire power, because as we all know, when a superhero can control fire, they can use that fire to fly. So tell me, would you rather have your boring human form or be an immortal waxy Mr. Fantastic that can set himself on fire like the Human Torch?

​@@LynetteTheMadScientist i suppose that is one good ending that could come out of it, but most people look for relatability, we can't defeat the evil curse and turn into beautiful people, our disabilities and disorders wont magically disappear, and we have problems finding love because of those things. We learn to live in bodies other people seem to hate, we learn to live by ourselves, while yearning for the touch or warm words of another And that's why people love Shrek, aside from its meme quality, its a sweet story about people who accepted their looks, their faults and their disorders/disabilities and found love with that acceptance. Belle has fallen in love with this monster, and he finally didn't have a need to change. He found good in himself the way he is And the audience is happy, because yeah that's a great message - in Polish we have a saying "każda potwora znajdzie swojego amatora" which means "every monster will find their admirer" We want that, that message of hope, that maybe we have out beastly qualities but there are people who will not only look past them, but will actually like them And then Beast turns to Adam And the magic is gone Conventionally attractive people win again So while your idea is cute and definitely would find its very great uses, people never bring it up in case of the beast cause its far from reality. People want Beast to remain Beastly cause we all feel like monsters. And we dont have a chance to change it. We prefer him a monster so we can tell ourselves that we can have this too. Cause there is no other way and magical cure to help us. And even if we're born beautiful but something bad happens to change us into monsters - again, theres no cure. And its unhealthy to think there is one and focus your life on it. We dont have a magical rose. Again, we can only hope that there is someone out there who will love our monstrous appearance. That's why Beast, should stay a Beast. Cause for us there is no way out and we want a little hope

@@croissant2882 Yes its true that people we fall in love with can be physically or mentally misshapen and that those things will likely never change. But that's not what the commenter is talking about. This commenter thinks Beast should stay beastly because she has a fetish for beastliness. Which is really selfish and shortsighted when your partner does not like their beastliness.

I know I’m late to the Green Party party on this one, but I actually was a fan of the book years ago. It’s been a long time, but here’s a few fun things I remember from the book, and don’t think I’ve seen anyone else say in the comments: • Lindy is basically forced to volunteer at the dance because she’s on a scholarship. • Kyle is straight up a beast. Like, with fur, and claws, which actually prevents him from going out in public but I guess they wanted him to be damaged but still sexy in the movies? • Since he can’t go out, Kendra, the witch, gives him a magic mirror, which he uses to look at the world and his old friends. • Lindy’s dad breaks into the house and when Kyle catches him, offers her up in exchange for him not called the police or eating him. • It’s strongly implied that, while Lindy had a crush on him because he was popular and handsome, if she’d really known him she would not have liked him. • The movie’s alternate ending is actually the ending of the book, since there is no Machu Pichu to act as their ticking time bomb in the book. • Also at the end it’s revealed that Zola was actually the witch the whole time. She was placed in his house as a punishment for going rogue, and she hated him so much she couldn’t help setting him up to get cursed. By wishing for Zola to be reunited with her family, she’s released from her punishment. I remember really enjoying the book, and it seems like it was a lot less clumsy than the movie. Edit: I can’t believe I forgot. Kyle is part of like…an online support group for people that have been turned into monsters/non-human creatures. The little mermaid is in this group.

But this does the opposite, it just reminds you he ISNT blind and everything he does and says takes a back burner to his awful acting EDIT: I should clarify, in this case his blindness is effectively his entire back story and plot. There's nothing wrong with having a character who is disabled and isn't defined by their disability.

Edge lord the movie

[@14racoon]

So because when I was in high school I loved this book, I wanna tell you a bit about the book this film was (very loosely) based on. So, for starters "the witch" in the book, first of all wasn't called "the witch" (I forget her name now, but she had one), and second of all her high schooler disguise was that of an overweight girl who was bullied for being fat. It's been awhile since I read the book, but I'm pretty sure the election wasn't a thing, and the party was definitely prom, and Kyle just decided to fuck with this girl cause he was a dick and wanted her to feel bad. Lindy was a redhead with freckles who was pretty much just a nondescript, plain jane type of gal. She was working the ticket booth and after Kyle's girlfriend threw a fit about him getting her a rose corsage instead of an orchid, and he just off-handly gives it to Lindy because she mentions liking roses or something. There's no real description of his curse in the book, past this rose tattoo that he gets because he was kind to Lindy, but the author said in an interview that she'd actually pictured him as a literal beast. Also, the book pulls more from the Brother's Grimm version, and Lindy goes to live with Kyle after he catches her father trying to rob Kyle and then he's like "Don't arrest me and you can have my daughter" and Kyle agrees. Hence why Lindy is rude to him, it's a holdover from the book, where that attitude made sense. Oh! And the reason Zola's curse doesn't really make sense as a curse? In the book, she was also the witch in disguise. And her reasoning for cursing Kyle was that in order for her to like...pass witch school or something? She needed to curse someone and successfully teach them a lesson. Still kinda dumb, but at least there's an explanation, right? I guess my point is that the book was better, and that most of the movie's problems come from it being a shitty adaptation, but when is that not true?

[@saddlerrye6725]

Yep, in the book, Kyle was turned into a classic best: fur all over, fangs and claws, etc., like in the original story. Now, the witch wasn't supposed to do this kind of magic he did with Kyle, hence she brought a curse upon herself that eliminated her from her family, and appointed her as Kyle's aid in the everyday life. The blind tutor's vision was returned because Kyle later on the story had an additional "bet" with the witch: if he'd bee able to lift his curse, his tutor will be no longer blind. The Beast (who's name is Adrian, not Hunter) also has this magic mirror thing, so when he finally releases Lindy and then later cheks up on her, he can see a man abusing her, so he just runs to save her. He gets himself injured, but manages to defend Lindy, and that's where she says she loves him and the curse is lifted.

Oh and that Kyle joins an online therapy group of other fairytale characters to vent about their struggles and he thinks it's a roleplay group but he finds solace in it, but then after he's cured he can't find the chatroom.

[@ninahatendo6827]

yea I this author has a connected book universe where all the fairy tales are adapted in modern time. I don't remember beastly (the book) much but I do vividly remember his book for sleeping beauty called "A Kiss in Time". It was really bad.

[@deniseklemm6612]

I also remember the chatroom... the book was boring at best but far away from that mess this film is... I mostly hated the "disfigurement" of Kyle (in the book he really got hairy and it kind of grew back again after surgery) and the casting of Linda... if I remember correctly she wasn't that conventionally attractive or just more mousy at the beginning and I appreciated that... I don't believe them boys weren't falling for Vanessa Hudgens left and right

[@aliceplays9921]

ooh yeah I read the Cinderella sequel called bewitched but the good guy was the stepsister and the witch from this movie was like the main protagonist/denominator throughout the book??? It was just a collection of rejected stories the author made like Hansel and Gretel back in the 1400s, like Little Mermaid in the 1920s, and what is pretty much "the stepsister wasn't that bad and here is her story!!!" set in modern times. But the author screws with the timeline and jumps from the future and past between plots points in the Cinderella story, like it starts in the 1400s and jumps to modern Cinderella, only for the witch to monologue and talk about the Little Mermaid, and it ends with the Step-sister and the Prince Charming/Teen actor(?) bonding over fucking Candide in the Prince's fancy LA party, despite Cinderella coming all dolled up to win him over just because "omg this girl is so different wowowowowow"

I think it's funny that he also doesn't even look that bad, nothing about his physique changed and his face just kind of looks like someone who's midway into a body mod addiction. His bones structure is also intact in his face so he basically just has a scar, some weird tattoos, metal stuff, and a shaved head. Like, there are people that elect to do much worse to themselves and probably still have otherwise perfectly normal lives. There's no one on earth that can tell me this dude would have been *that* much worse off if he had to stay that way forever.

I like my child brain version better.

[@maddiedoes3571]

straight up, until I watched this video and got a plot summary, I wondered just what the hell his parents were doing about his curse, and came to a very similar conclusion that he just ran away and stopped going to school and met a girl from around town.

Honestly it's not as bad as the movie version of Ready Player One (no, I haven't read the book). Apparently she's all worried about being super ugly and unattractive, yet shes played by a conventionally attractive actress. The whole thing that makes her "ugly" in the movie is a birthmark that she can easily cover, even though it doesn't actually detract from her conventional attractiveness.

[@chrysanthemum436]

@@brittanyr9471 I saw that too! I actually yelled at my screen, it looked more like a mild allergic reaction to some makeup than a hideous birthmark that needs to be hidden away.

I noticed that the whole "female lead has more chemistry with minor side/supporting character than with the male lead" is somewhat common in bad romance movies like this? like there was that one scene in Fifty Shades Darker where Anna talks to her new assistant and they immediately have more chemistry and tenderness than she ever has with Christian, and I don't think they ever interact on screen again.

I think this is a product of romantic leads being written to be aggressively mediocre (and possibly acted that way as well) whereas side characters are permitted to have personality

[@archkull]

@@allnaturalfigjam310 both the main character and romantic lead suffer this so the primary target audience can self insert

[@wissert]

I believe this also happens because inexperienced writers struggle to grasp the concept of replacing their main characters if they are too weak to carry the story. Understandably, if you've had the concept of a character in your head for a long time you feel attached and like it can't be as simple as just swapping out your most important lead- except it is that simple. A story should champion its most interesting characters, but writers' personal attachments can get in the way of ever recognising that they HAD more interesting characters going unused. Especially with romance, if they started writing it with a specific pair in mind they never consider letting the original idea go.
