The Beast's Extremely Sinful Life BEFORE He Met Belle In Beauty And The Beast...

The Beast's Extremely Sinful Life BEFORE He Met Belle | Beauty And The Beast
The love story told in Beauty in the Beast is truly a tale as old as time, but it might not have been quite as sweet as you thought. It turns out that before he became the Beast, he was a Prince who could be described as nothing less than an egotistical tool. Thanks to a book by Serena Valentino, the Prince’s history has never been clearer. And sadly, it looks like his life before he met Belle was full of sin and manipulation.

According to the movie, wasn't he 11 before the enchantress came? I know that they have gone back and tried to change what was said, alter what was meant, and give other authors the 'right' to decide what 'really' happened, but the prologue said the rose would bloom till he turns 21 and Lumiere says they were enchanted 10 years. Simply presuming he could not age unless the chairs... did as well redefines what are the rules of that particular fairy tale world simply to add to how much sin they can add to the backstory, which helps nothing.

He was an entitled 11 year old boy born into royalty. So.. like.. of course love wasn't a concept a child understood.

[@hannahhester8376]

Okay, and another thing. The enchantress was cursing a literal child. At least in the remake the Beast was already an adult, so I see why she would have cursed that version of him. But the animated one always gave me a icky feeling. You're cursing a hormonal teenager for not taking a flower from you? Really??

[@hannahhester8376]

@jf k Doesn't change the fact that she did that to a kid

[@lexyruse603]

@jf k Even then.... He's still a kid. And I'm sorry in other disney movies when a creepy women gives you something it's usually poisoned. Look at what happened to snow white. In the original story I do believe he was older so that's more understandable and in the live action he was older but I can't get behind her cursing an 11 year old boy for him not letting her into the castle.

[@lexyruse603]

@jf k True but just because there's a good result from doing something bad doesn't make it right. If you get abused as a child and in turn that makes you want to be different from your parents and be a loving person does that mean the abuse was ok? Plus this technically teaches kids to trust strangers. I lobe Beauty and the Beast but honestly his punishment was way overboard.

[@inky-rose6460]

​​@jf k I don't really agree with the statement that he changed him for the better. It's unlikely. He would've grown to be super selfish. I don't know you can't really expect a 11 year old to let you into his house if your disguised as a creepy old lady. That's like the first rule of anything. And if we're going off of all time being halted then that still doesn't seem fair. 21 is when a person has just finished their brain's full development, 21 is still pretty young though. You can't curse someone just because he didn't let you into his house, no matter what age it's still a bit creepy to show up as an old lady to a very young man's castle

[@daniellevinson6975]

The idea of Adam being 11 at the time of the curse comes solely from the rectonning of The Enchanted Christmas.

[@teddyflowers2798]

So when the beast was fighting Gaston he wasn't just fighting him he was also fighting himself because Gaston is what the beast used to be

[@jorgebersabe293]

Exactly. And that's why he spares Gaston at the end. Gaston is the monster the Beast would have become if the Enchantress didn't interfere that night.

[@yallehemee460]

[@BernardoDavinci]

The beast is an underrated Disney prince

[@dillonwright13]

Honestly, I can believe a lot of what happened in the book. However, if any of it were to be adapted into the film's canon, the curse being drawn out and Beast almost being engaged a second time would need to be written out. Also, in the 2017 movie, it was shown the Prince's mother died when he was young, so his father raised him to be as selfish as he was. My guess is that this was exasperated further when his father died, and when Gaston entered his life. According to The Enchanted Christmas, it looks as if the Prince was cursed when he was 16, and the enchanted rose probably made his and his servants' lives slow down 50%. Also, spending 10 years as a Beast had to have been physically painful for the Prince, probably to the point of insanity.

The rose was enchanted and nobody aged a day so I tend to think time stopped for the castle and everyone outside it forgot there ever was one until Belle shows them via the mirror Yes in the song 10 years is mentioned but I see that as either a result of the rose or a reference to how long it had been since they hosted anyone from outside the castle…if Adam was that reached towards the enchantress and Christmas who would ever accept an invitation?

[@UnderTheSameSun693]

I used to think that the Beast was locked in that castle for wasaaaay longer than 10 years. I don't know, 100 years? 50 years? I thought time stopped for everyone in the castle, so they didn't age. I thought that when the Beast turned back into a human, he didn't age, so that's how he looked when he was younger, and got cursed. I never would have guessed that they were still aging in that castle. It's kind of twisted and dark that they age, because there's a child in that castle that had nothing to do with the Prince's behavior, and he turned into a cup. The wiki, It says that he was 7 years old before he was cursed. So that means Chip was 17 when he got turned back into a human. Imagine living your entire life as a fragile cup? What further made me think that time stopped for them is that chip doesn't look 17(though I didn't know his age at the time), he looks to be around 10 years old. I thought for myself that the boy has to be 10 or something, because how cruel would it have been to turn an infant or toddler into a tea cup, for the actions of the Prince?

[@sandrahartman7078]

Sorry but I don't adhere to anything Serena valentino has written. She tries to rewrite the story including the endings (i.e. the movies we know). That is simply not what I expect from a back story. Especially since the odd sisters seem to be of a similar nature to the three fates from Grecian mythology. Even if you do run with her narrative then Adam would never have befriended Gaston he was too far beneath him being the son of a tavern keeper as he was. Before you ask his trophies wouldn't have been displayed at the tavern if it were not his home thus making him a tavern keeper or at least the child of one.

[@toastedbabybuns1000]

It's why I can't stand these videos. Serena Valentino's stories are essentially fanfiction that the video's authors are putting forward as fact about a characters backstory. It's cringe.

[@courtneysheffield6336]

I think Beastly: The Tale Of Beauty's Prince should be a movie series too it is very entertaining and to know more backstory on his parents and how his life turned out? How did he met Gaston? Adam and Gaston was friends wow wow mind-blowing news to know

[@hannahhester8376]

Yeah, I don't buy this at all. He was literally a kid when he was cursed. Don't exactly know how old he actually was when cursed, in the second BATB film the Christmas one, he looks around 15 when the enchantress comes, the 10 years Lumiere mentions might have just been more like it's felt like ten years. I doubt a 15 year old is going around sleeping with people, Prince or not.

[@arriannaniv]

The original books have a fairy that becomes sexually attracted to the child she helped raised and then cursed him for turning her down. Let’s remember this is technically a stolen story

The first movie tells that when the beast turns 21-year-old, 10 years have passed since the curse was cast. And the Christmas sequel confirmed that the prince was only an 11-year-old child when the enchantress brought a rose and turned the spoiled prince into a monster.

The Odds Sisters did make an appearance, but not in the main storyline. Yet rather in a series also by Disney called "Gargoyles". (I think Beast deserved Belle.) If the fanfiction styled book of the Disney characters is some kind of fact... and if Gaston was once a upon a time the Beast's bestie I think Gaston was the one who rubbed off his personality on to Beast... That is if the story be a fact of truth and can be taken seriously.

Why do we take a FAN made, point of view for the story, so seriously? For one, that's a completely different world, different dimension & two - anyone could write a book and fan-franchise of Disney's fairytales :/

Yes. They meant for each other. For one thing, they were both considered odd to what others thought about them.

[@bravanator551]

I think the 10 years was since his parents died. So at 11 he became an orphan but was rich so his servants took care of him but he had no idea how to host a ball so they never got a chance to use their skills for anyone but him. The curse appears to be no more than 5 years old, maybe less because he looks about 16-18 years old when he is cursed.

Don’t forget the fact that being 30 meant you were basically a eilder

That was sorta a myth, 16 or so was actually deemed adulthood. Even then, his social status would make him live much longer. Most people even then could still live till at least 40 there so you could still wait till they're an adult or 20 before they are obligated to be married and have kids.

[@tooba1049]

Serena Valentino is out to make all Disney villains into heros and heros into villains, if you dig into beauty and the beasts origin stories and past recounts by all the classical story tellers, the beast was a prince with whom the fairy was bewitched (even in one story she was his care taker, like an aunt who was hundreds of years old, who got infatuated with him when he reached puberty) and because he kept denying her (even Disney eludes to this story when the old haggardly woman tries to give the prince a red rose and he refuses it) got angry and cursed him as if to say yeah if I can't have you no one can. The beauty however never saw the goodness of beast but was only repulsed by his exterior until the final day came and he began to die, that's when she realized she loved him and the curse was broken. Serena Valentino is not very good at her job, she gives non sense backstories to fairytale characters which do not suit them one bit, and Disney of course always makes fairies as the heroes hence they blame the prince for being rude, like even if he was rude who gave the fairy the authority to punish him, who was she his mother? The scorned lover story of the classical story always made more sense, I always felt Disney version was very off since the story was not adding up, that was before the much worse version of Serena Valentino came out.
