😈😈 WATCH OUR LATEST WICKED THEORY VIDEOS HERE:

[@somedudewhodraws9377]

You think these theories are dark? Boy the original Hans Christian Anderson story is freaking dark and kinda scary!

[@steampunkslytherin]

Just a heads up........

[@Elizalustof]

Trident hates humans because his queen (Ariel's mum) was killed by them on a ship. He was protecting his family and over protective over his daughters after what happened to his queen.

[@CeltycSparrow]

But what if Ariel's enchanted voice WAS shown in the movie and we just didn't realize it? Consider this.....when Ariel rescues Eric from the shipwreck and brings him back to the beach and she and Scuttle are trying to revive him, Ariel sings to him of her wish to join Eric in his world....and her beautiful voice is what wakes the handsome Prince Eric and what compels Eric to search for the mysterious girl who saved him from the sea and marry her. He even says he can't get her voice out of his head. When he finds Ariel alone on the beach after she becomes human, he thinks he's finally found the mystery girl but because she can't speak (having traded her voice to Ursula) he thinks she's not the same girl. THEN when Ursula comes to trick Eric, its that SAME VOICE that entrances Eric and makes him believe SHE is the mysterious girl who saved him and that is why he is so quick to marry her instead of Ariel. And why, of all the things she could have taken, did Ursula require Ariel's VOICE when she was negotiating with Ariel to make her human?

[@janicecole8384]

Isn't it possible Ursula was cursed by trident?

[@renamon5658]

The little mermaid is a dark story with no happy ending, so lets make it a kids movie

[@LeNimph]

I hate that people forget that livebearing fish are a thing and it's very likely that mermaids would be livebearers.

[@dawidblachowski]

Please also don't forget the origin story that "The Little Mermaid" was created upon: It was Hans Christian's Andersen's story of Little Mermaid, but in the original version, Ariel didn't make it. Vanessa won and Ariel lost. Also, Andersen wrote the story upon his experience: he was gay and fell in love in his straight friend. He couldn't be with him though, be "part of his world".

[@miavinson2726]

Disney: Let's make The Little Mermaid a happy movie

[@rankore564]

Ursula's Vanessa looks like Ariel, just with a darker hair color and with different eye color....

[@akiameko1984]

The problem with the different moms theory is that in both the show, and one of the sequels, they explore Queen Athena's relationship with her daughters, and even show us how her death was kind of a hate crime. Seriously, when you go into the movies and SAT AM show, this shit gets dark.

[@DeadhunterThe]

Problem With the Last Theory: If the wall prevented ships from coming or going to Eric's kingdom, then how did Eric manage to get a ship to Triton to turn Ariel back into a mermaid? Much less get one powerful enough to carry his crew all the way to the icy north?

[@AM-cv9fi]

No, King Trident is the darkest part of that movie. He's a king ruled by his emotions and low impulse control.

[@LiraDraculea]

"No hard feelings, here's, like, my daughter" 😂😂😂😂

[@TheCaliMack]

These theories could easily interweave into a complex and dark backstory

[@RamonaFlowers420]

I don't understand why you say she's living with the poor at the end of the movie, she marries a freaking prince. This all just fell apart for me.

[@Shanaifan1]

Ariel is more like a siren not a mermaid. If she can sing to lure someone with singing.

[@thomasbontempo3591]

"ariel could have caused a famine" idk why that made me laugh but it did

[@codynatof5901]

I agree with Triton wrecking Ariel's ship. Was wondering if anyone else thought that. Thanks for the info.
