Honestly, if I had to choose between having a hero song and a villain song, I'd pick the villain song with no second thoughts. I mean, really. Would you rather have a rock ballad about how you're going to fuck shit up because you're just that awesome, or a meh song about how you're going to save the kingdom because....reasons? The only really good hero song I can think of off the top of my head is 'Ready As I'll Ever Be', and that's more of a hero-villain duet because the bad guy has his own section and actually starts the song off

[@autumnkokoro_heart_mermaid9975]

But DID SHE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT NOT INERFEREING WITH THE DEAL NO SHE KEPT HER END OF THE DEAL

[@yourmom66600]

@Caitlyn Beadle I think what they mean is, as long as Ariel would kiss the man, she would remain human. Nothing more, nothing less. It wasn't a battle or anything, it was just a deal. So interferance and sabotage are not all important. Sure it's all dick moves, but the deal, which is kissing the prince to remain human in 3 days, stayed. Although yeah the hypnotizing was real. But If Ariel were to kiss him without sabotage, since Eric loves her back, the spell would've broke and she will remain human, and that's the deal that was the "end of the bargain." Also, Ariel wasn't her priority. She has it all planned out. she forces to win because if Ariel were to be her pet, Triton would try to save her. thus giving her the... fork thing.

i like how areal disobeys her father just to live with some guy she just met and then there is Ursula who was kicked out of Atlantis who might i add is tridents adopted sister for practicing magic to help people that just had a small price to pay and ends up being killed for expressing her rage and wanting to exterminate who made matters worse

[@mskiki0908]

But Ariel already wanted to visit the surface. She probably felt restricted and suffocated because her dad was so strict and wouldnt communicate with them (which made matters worse, because without him telling them why he made the decisions he made he just came across as unreasonably temperamental). Her sisters also felt similar but not nearly as much as Ariel because they were more complacent with how things were and werent as curious/free-spirited as Ariel (so she got in trouble way more frequently than them). If Triton didn't destroy her little collectables and her grotto out of rage, Ariel's infatuation with Eric probably would've just been her first crush and it would've passed. She wouldn't have experienced that last straw that made her want to run away from home. And then if you count Ariel's beginning, he was much more strict, and Ariel's only had maybe 3 years (at most), probably more like 1 year, of the semi-freedom she had in The Little Mermaid (though her "semi-freedom" was moreso her disobeying her father than actual freedom).

[@r-giireactions2235]

For those who don't understand, the movie is not saying to give up your voice for a man, Ursula is using it because she knows that by giving up her voice, Ariel would be at a disadvantage. But even without her voice her personality was still able to shine through, the handicap wasn't ideal, but Ariel was able to move past the handicap. Without her voice, Ariel wasn't just a pretty face, she was also just lots of fun to be around, and I think that's what drew Eric to her in the end more than anything, even where he was willing to give up the mystery girl he only knew from her voice and breif glimpse of her face. The main reason Eric likely went with Ursula was because he had already had his heart set, and then when that set his mind in one place even when his heart shifted. Also, he was likely under an enchantment, probably the siren's song or something, which may have been what drew him to Ariel in the first place, so maybe meeting Ariel without her voice also allowed him to fall in love with her free from enchantment and just fall in love with her as a living being. So there are actually a lot of layers here, and I don't know if all of them are 100% up to date with our modern sensitivities, but it does provide an interesting story that is worth discussing.

Maybe she didn't give Ariel EVERY SINGLE DETAIL but she didn't FORCE HER into the contract either. I love how just straight up she is. She's an incredible woman who is NOT going to be bullied by anyone not even Triton himself. Though I really doubt that the whole thing would have been even noticed by Triton himself had Ariel not been his own daughter. Had she been anyone else he probably would have ignored it entirely

@@angelcarter6387 It's not about her being bullied by Triton. She took advantage of a 16 yr old. Triton's abuse (the scene where he destroys all her stuff as a show of force and authority is a textbook abusive parenting tactic) is what lead Ariel to go to Ursula and Ursula took advantage of that. If you sign a contract saying that you can keep a car if you manage to fix the alternator on it in a week, but the guy you made the deal with is constantly stealing your tools and sending people over to keep you away from the car and ultimately steals the car on the last night to keep you from fixing it, would you call that guy fair? Would you say his way of dealing was okay? Now you owe him the deed to your house bc you never fixed the alternator. Is he "in the right" or is he a crooked prick?

Ursula was and still is the most realistic villain. She was right all along, especially the “on land it’s much preferred for ladies not to say a word” mainly because a lot of men don’t care about personality but more about looks.

[@darthstarkiller1912]

Came here after seeing the news. RIP Pat Carroll. She'll always be the OG Ursula.

[@xen60xen]

Ursula is the only Disney villain(apart from Frollo) who gave me nightmares as I kid, but she was still my favorite. Very sad that she past away recently :(

[@Cloverfr]

Now reading the lyrics in english I can notice that the LA spanish version of Ursula is meaner. One example 3:21 *"Flotam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys"* in english and in LA spanish is *"How easy was, how dumb she is"*

[@drpavel_]

this and "friends on the other side" have the same slimey beautiful engery

[@arthurasesyan4372]

I love how during the song it goes from careful and slow from fast and aggressive tone, in film even the colours changing like that

[@boop99]

Jeez, that part about men preferring submissive women is interesting. Not necessarily true, but definitely in Ariel's time

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

It's definitely still true today. The top complaint any guy has with a girl usually aren't her looks, but what she says. "She's cute when she keeps her mouth shut" and such.

Mine was that she refused to actually fucking communicate...

[@mealsome4450]

"She is not as evil as people make her out to be" Ya'll she tricked a young girl into signing a contract knowing full well that she would do everything in her power to ruin said girls life and made the terms as unfair to ariel as possible by not giving her the full information. She intentionally tricked her into thinking that her voice wasn't worth much and that she had no evil intentions, both factually untrue.

[@azariahspence8551]

Rest In Peace, Ms. Carroll! You truly were a great Ursula/Vanessa!

[@thenightmaricsenpai524]

At least you get a cool Disney villain song to listen to while you sign the contract.

When you think about it Ursula held up her end of the deal she said she’d give Ariel legs and she did she gave her very very nice legs and she also didn’t say she would try to stop Ariel kissing Eric and Ariel didn’t even read the contract for crying out loud

[@aaliyahh2253]

If u think about it ariel wasnt that innocent either..ariel knew what she was getting her self into..ariel wanted more than just to be on the surface 😉

[@Lu1380]

Exactly

[@magicalstar1231]

She never said that she would try and sabotage her either.......Ariel didn't ask because you AREN'T even supposed to try and sabotage other in the 1st place......she also pressured her into signing the contract (without leaving her much time to read) saying stuff like "i'm a really busy woman", no wonder she couldn't really think and read......

Someone once said that the tune that Ariel is singing when Ursula magically takes [Ariel's] voice, is the backwards version the opening song from "Bambi," 'Love is a Song that Never Ends.' Backwards or not, I can't unhear it.

@@moonamoonz Let me guess? you're a woke cry baby. It's obviously offensive because she's the bad guy, thats what villains do, give wrong advice, kill, lie, set a bad example, so children learn a lesson that if you misbehave you gotta pay for that
