The people who wrote the Disney movie Hercules obviously had NO idea of the actual story of Hercules. Hades was supposed to be the most fair minded and least petty of the Olympian gods. It was actually Hera who was tormenting Hercules to punish Zeus for cheating on her with Hercules mum.
Acutely Hades is way different then hell there is even a place for the exstreamly good people "blessed dead" called Elysium Fields/Plains, then there are levels for how "righteous " you lived your life, all the dead go to hades, then you go through judgement, then you go to the fields of Elysium, Asphodel, or Punishment
I dunno if this was from somewhere but my literature teacher told us about Cinderella's stepmother's story too. She said her name was Freesia and she was not so pretty, but she was kind and helpful. She met Cinderella's father and they both fell in love with each other. They were about to get married when Cinderella's father met Freesia's cousin, who was beautiful, and he left Freesia for her. Freesia's cousin and Cinderella's father got married and had a child, who's our girl Cinderella. On the contrary, Freesia got forcefully married with a guy who she didn't love and had two girls. Freesia's husband died after some years and she was all alone with the two girls. Cinderella's mother had died too. Freesia then met /him/ after some years and they fell in love again, so they got married. Freesia didn't like Cinderella cuz it reminded her of her sadness and suffering. When he died, Freesia was completely devastated. She thought her life was just going worse and worse. She mistreated Cinderella just because she couldn't look at her without thinking of her cousin who betrayed her.
@Luca Devine if what Jessie is true then I doubt that will make it to the history channel because the history channel actually does there research and disney doesn't and that's why I can't stand watching it in the modern version. I would hate to see toy story and the Incredibles in the modern version.
Honestly, this is literally how Hades became how he did: Zeus: So Poseidon you'll have the ocean, I'll have the sky, and Hades? Oh- Oh you'll love this- *You get the basement.*
Greek myths paint a somewhat different picture: Even tho Zeus defeated their father, the Titan Cronus, he, Poseidon, and Hades drew lots for which realm they would rule. Now imagine Hades, Lord of the Sea. :)
In every version I've read, the three brothers drew lots (or straws) to see who would get what. Hades getting the Underworld was just the luck of the draw. Sorry to kill your joke :(
@@kittycatkyla2344 No, it's fine! I know that's what actually happened, I just say this because I find it funny. That, and the way Hades gets treated kinda suits it.
In all Greek myths, especially the story of Heracles, Hades is shown to be very respectable and willing to return the favor for anyone who respects him. Heracles shows him respect and Hades allows him to take Cerberus with him as long as he doesn't hurt him with a weapon. So obviously he cares about his dog and isn't stubborn and extremely violent and or self absorbed as a lot of the other gods... *cough* ATHENA *cough* .
"He did practically save and raise Quasimodo." Um... no. He murdered Quasimodo's mother and was going to drown him in a well before the priest guilted him into sparing Quasimodo. Then he kept him locked up in a tower his whole life.
Not killing someone when you can kill someone is saving them. Even if the life they have isn't what they would have had without you showing up in the first place.
This is a very late reply but Claude did save him. The story of quasimodo was that his parents didn’t want him due to being deformed so they left him in a box in town square which is somewhat of a way of adoption back in the day. Frollo found him and it reminded him of his little brother. So he took him in and raised him as his own son.
Kristiniqua I never read the book but based on what I’ve heard in the book version Frollo was a pretty decent guy until he luster after Esmeralda and that list drove him to insanity and then everything started going very wrong very very fast.
He’s talking through the book version. Frollo adopted Quasimodo because the helpless deformed baby reminded him of his sick brother that he had to take care of by himself. He found him on Quasimodo day and that’s what he was named after.
the queen of hearts story is pretty of sad... i loved the movie but was disappointed at the ending i wish that the mawde her head shrink when her and her sisiter made up- as is the anger going away an so then does the swelling of her head wish is actually just all her anger she save up over the years.. when it didnt happen i was a bit disappointed. :(
For Hercules, actually, Hera is not his mom. Zeus fell in love with a human girl on earth. When her husband was sent off to war, Zeus disguised himself as her husband, went down to earth, and Hercules was born. When her husband came back, she realized her mistake. Zeus went back up to the gods, but Hera was furious. Remember when baby Hercules fought pain and panic when they turned into snakes? Those snakes weren’t sent by hades, they were sent by Hera to kill baby Hercules. When he was sent to earth, he had to complete his 12 challenges in order to join his father on mount Olympus. Crazy, right?
from what I have read, actually the human women abandoned the baby to die in fear Hera would kill her, feeling that his son deserved better he pleaded with Hera to forgive him and spare the child from the cruel elements and to let him live on mount Olympus. Hera annoyed said fine but he would have to complete 12 tasks before he could so. so he was spared and when he was old enough he would be welcomed into Olympus. Hades had no part in this besides being annoyed that Cerberus was dragged from his job.
@@funnypasta6155 No after he was abandoned in the forest Athena found him and sent him back then when he grew up he killed everyone and had to do 12 things then he got married again but his wife thought he was cheating on him so an evil centaur gave her a vial of centaur blood which he said was a live potion and when it touches Hercules skin he will forget about all other women then she put the blood on his shirt and Hercules put on the shirt/toga and centaur blood is actually like acid so Hercules melted then Zeus made him a god. That's the official story but there are about 70 other versions
never understood the critique on Cinderella. she was a victim of emotional, psychological, and physical abuse. why is it her fault she doesnt "stand up for herself". Do we blame victims of abuse IRL for not standing up for themselves...
I think the critique is on the way it is told, that as long as you can live through the abuse, there's a kind fairy godmother to fix everything. There isn't, so if you actually have the choice to stay in or leave an abusive situation, you shouldn't be told to stay cuz it's going to be fine in the end any way.
Mrs. Elise Patterson, Cinderella pretty much didn’t stand up for herself because, after her father died, she was never taught ways she could. If her father had lived longer, she might have learned ways she could defend herself, but she was instead turned into a maid by her stepmother because she didn’t really care as much for her than she did her own daughters ( she got more care from animals than she did family until she married the prince )
Yep. You get abused for long enough, and you start to crave it. It's sad, and takes decades of therapy to come to terms with and often is irreversible.
I feel like characters such as Lady Tremaine, (maybe) Mother Gotten, Frollo, and Gaston were forged by the toxic environment they lived in and that's what shaped them into the villains of the story. That being said it does nothing to justify the cruelty and misdeeds they committed.
Considering in 17y0 where beauty and the beast takes place it would make sense for Gaston seeing belle as nothing but something to marry. As women didn’t have rights back then
Here's my one issue with the Cruella backstory. You claimed she had been born a sociopath, But that's physically impossible. People can be born psychopaths, but sociopathy is developed overtime by abuse and manipulation
Actually, that's not true. About 50% of what a sociopath is comes from hereditary things- as in, things they're born with. What's most likely is that she was born a sociopath and, this being a guess, had some amount of small trauma. Her father isn't present, so that could have easily been her first small trigger into beginning manipulating people from a young age and possibly causing harm to other people and animals as a way to deal with her emotions. And as her mother tries again and again to remarry, her lack of empathy makes her see those men as invaders, people who could potentially leave her just like her biological father had, so she kills them. In fact, the vast majority of diagnosed sociopaths DO NOT come from abusive households, and while she was clearly abused, sociopath or not, sociopaths are not born of abuse.
@@sebastianlugo5781 in once upon a time version he was telling about, she killed her own father. So in that case it couldn't be the reason for her socialpathic behaviour. In my opinion she was just crazy
In the original book (The Hundred and One Dalmatians, by Dodie Smith) Cruella was always odd to say the least. She was apparently expelled from school for drinking ink according to the character Mrs Dearly (no first name, becomes Anita in the Disney version.).
There is not sufficient evidence to claim that someone is born with sociopathy or psychopathy. We simply do not know the origins of psychopathy or sociopathy. Personally, I believe that trauma can lead one to switch off compassion
exactly! in both the original cartoon and later in Maleficent the king's name was STEPHEN. Aurora marries Phillip. seriously, the dimwit who narrated this video needs to do a little more research before making any more of these videoes
Ugh, I hate the revisionist idea of Cinderella that people feel the need to bash it. Because it's totally okay to bash someone for "not standing up for themselves" when confronting someone who has abused them since early childhood. When will this trend die? This is not okay. I thought people had caught on that this was no tokay. Cinderella didn't anticipate marrying the prince. She just wanted a break from her long term abuse. And it's NOT okay to say she should have stood up for herself. That's a LOT harder than it sounds for long term abuse victims. Did you ever stop to consider what would have happened to her if she tried to stand up to her stepmother? Honestly wish people would stop treating kindness as a weakness. Try actually watching the film before you tell us women what is empowering or not. It took bravery for that girl to even go to the ball after what they did to her.
Yeah, I didn't agree with the take on Cinderella in this. If you were abused by the one person in a position of authority from childhood and made to believe you were worthless, the psychological damage would be almost insurmountable. In fact, Cinderella not going bonkers crazy and becoming a villain herself is a testament to her nature as a caring loving person. Her mannerisms and 'passive' nature as this take on her story put it is entirely the Step Mother's fault. I have little if any sympathy for the step mother--she was second only to Cruella in petty cruelness and her backstory is no excuse to treat a child so badly.
Persephone, his wife, is the daughter of Zeus, his brother, and Demeter, Their sister. as in both the sister of Zeus and Hades. All in all though He did have Zeus permission as her father to wed her before taking her to the underworld which most people tend to forget. In that time as long as you have the fathers permission it was culturally acceptable to than take the woman as your bride.
If Gaston has PTSD, why does a line in the movie imply thinking about the war makes him happy and calms him down when he's upset? I thought the implications were that he enjoyed being at war because he enjoyed violence.
I'm no expert, but I think thrill-seeking is a fairly common coping mechanism to PTSD. I'm not sure what the exact logic is, but perhaps KNOWING you're in danger is easier to cope with than THINKING YOU MIGHT BE.
In Cinderella's defense she was abused her entire life and people that suffer abuse often have no sense of identity and low self-esteem so she was trained to always stay in the house and do whatever they say that's part of why she is so passive can't really blame her when it's not her fault she was abused but yes the story is morally bankrupt.
There are so many mistakes in this video, it shows nobody cared to do actual research. Hercules story was not even close to the Disney movie! Once Upon a Time is not the source of Cruella’s story but a non canon story (in the book, Cruella was always an eccentric girl who was so obssessed with spots that she was expelled from school for drinking ink in an attempt to get them). And it is well known now that the writers of The Little Mermaid had planned to make Ursula Triton’s sister who he exiled because of her imperfections (since she was half octopus). I won’t even watch the rest. This is your job, do it better.
They also say Ursula is a “step sister.” Adopted siblings are just siblings lol Not to mention that Cinderella is based on the folk tale, which is nothing like what this video mentions.
Silly Bean no. Hercules is used in rome. the original is greek and they called him HERAcles. he was named this to appease the goddess Hera so she would take pity on him, but of course Hera was having none of that. when the greeks mention anything to with him they call it “HERAclean” not “HURculean”
Fish Scales I think there were some backstory to the cinematic joker, as his father cut his mouth while he asked “why so serious?” but I don’t have a lot of knowledge about DCU so I may be wrong
I didn't understand it quite, either, other than he had some feelings for her. But no one in my family acted weird because of this, it's just that it's creepy when you look back at it. :D
I really hope that, should any of these villains not already have a live action appearance, Disney will give them one that let's us see their backstory. However I don't want this to become another Maleficent incident. The villains' characters should not be altered for the sake of making us feel bad about them. Yes, we should sometimes be able to sympathize with them,but not to the point where that outweighs the *Evil* deeds they have or are about to commit.
In fairness, while certainly the ending was altered from the animated version--her backstory isn't outside the realm of possibility. The original Sleeping Beauty does start after a large portion of the events that take place in Maleficient's backstory.
Cheyenne Williams it was good, and I won't take that from you. I thought the effects were pretty good, I just don't want them to try to humanize their villains more than is necessary.
better late than never oh no I totally agree with not humanizing all of them. But tbh sleeping beauty wasn’t all that exciting and is rather boring. I thought that adding the maleficent part of the story added so much more to the story and honestly made much more sense as to why she put the curse on aurora. But they can’t do that with all villains.
Thank you! He didn't save him. He was going to kill Quasi too. But the guy from Notre Dame stopped him. Got frollo to feel guilty enough to raise him, even then ended up trying to kill him again.
In the book frollo actually did save quasimodo; quasimodo's parents abandoned him because of his deformity at a church and frollo pitied him because it reminded him of he and his brother being abandoned by their own parents and he didn't want quasimodo to suffer the same fate. In the book, frollo is a decent person until he is driven insane by his lust for esmeralda
@@AllyHalliday like, Quasimodo was the gipsies child, he was tossed to Esmeralda's mom, and Esmeralda was kidnapped. So, he was brought to church by Esmeralda's mother. Tadaa
Actually the ORIIGNAL story of Sleeping Beauty, the Unnamed "Old Fairy" (Disney gave her a name, Maleficent) Wasn't invited to the christening because she was so old everyone assumed she was dead. Bad Assumption, Tragedy ensues. You don't diss a fairy.
"I.....was.....slleeppping!, how many times I gotta tell yeah I'm not dead.....that's it lets see you YOU feel when I make everyone think YOUR dead but really just SLEEPING!!! MUHAHHAHAAA!!" wow evil genius right there 👏👏👏
Really? I don't think Scar could have been banished if he was invited by his brother to celebrate Simba's baptism. And I don't think Mufasa would make the trip over to his place (which by lion's standards isn't too shabby) to express his disappointment that he didn't come to the ceremony, meaning he was expecting him to show up. And while I can't confirm if it's true or not, I'd read that the father treated and loved both sons equally. Even when Scar couldn't take the throne, he made sure that he still held a position of influence and basically appointed Scar as Mufasa's right-hand man; which I'm guessing did not fly well for him.
Disney really needs to make lore movies or something. Once upon a time isn't enough. That little mermaid story about Ursula would've made a gr8 prequel.
I can understand there is a why someone would do something bad but that doesn't make it "right". It really annoys me when people don't take responsibility and blame their behavior on their past. You can be more than your past. You can rise above it and still be a "good" person.
No completely disagree, Cinderella is a symbol of hard work, determination and staying true to who you are in the face of years of mental and emotional abuse.
Andromeda680 That’s pretty much what happened in the Angelina Jolie movie. A bit darker and less of a coming-of-age story, but she’s definitely sympathetic in it.
Actually, the correct term for Cruella is a Psychopath. No one is ever born a sociopath. Psychos are the way they are from birth. Socios experienced something traumatic and remembered it.
Psychopathy is caused by a difference in brain chemistry and structure that is present from birth. Do some research and you can find all sorts of interesting things about it.
I study psychology and criminology at uni and if you truly research it. All psychopaths are sociopaths, but not all sociopaths are psychopaths as they share the same symptoms, however psychopathy has more symptoms that can be more severe, thus being the worse of the two. As for the cause, there are many and can usually not be pinpointed. There are many genes and chemical hormones that can contribute to such antisocial personality disorders. However experiencing traumatic events tends to act as a catalyst to the two. I Believe her to be a psychopath as she displays most symptoms for sociopathy as well as psychopathy. She has a superficial charm, lack of remorse, she is impulsive and manipulative and lacks any deep emotional attachment, those are a few examples. Check ya facts people
As much as I like the show, OUaT is not canon. For instance. according to the original book "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" Cruella was a schoolmate of Anita's, who was always messed up (Cruella was one expelled for drinking ink). No backstory; just a born messed-up, narcissistic sociopath. (Side note: In the original book, Pongo's missus was simply called Missus; Perdita was a young mother Dalmatian whose puppies were taken from her and Roger found her on the side of the road, noticed that she could be a milknurse to help Missus, and took her in. There were 97 puppies rescued, including Pongo's & MIssus' 13 and Perdita's pups. I know that adds up to 100: the last chapter of the book, titled "The One Hundred and Oneth Dalmatian" explains the last Dalmatian: Perdita's long-lost husband!)
True, I think there was also a scene at the end of the book after Cruella gets caught she developed Marie Antoinette syndrome ( which causes someone's hair to turn white after a stressful/traumatic event) but since one side of her head was already white that side turned green.
This is hard to believe, but Claude Frollo was even worse in the original work by Victor Hugo.... By the way: don't read it if you are hoping for a happy ending....
@giveagoodsong Huh? I know Quasimodo was abandoned by his birth family (in fact, I think they stole a baby girl who grew up to be Esmeralda and left Quasi in her place!) but I didn't catch that their abandoning him caused his deformity! I thought they dumped the poor kid BECAUSE of this deformity.
I mean, her backstory doesn't excuse her actions whatsoever-and actually in my mind, when I saw those episodes of Once Upon a Time, it only made it worse--she's truly an insane animal killing b****. She's a heartless woman hell bent on killing animals to get fur she finds beautiful.
hazarddex Hades shows up for a little bit when Hercules had to capture Cerberus for one of his 12 labors and Hades tells his nephew to not hurt Cerberus with a weapon
6:16 The Scar part.... The reason why he was banished is because when he was younger, he was the leader of the Lion Guard - basically the Pride Lands version of the Avengers, and had the magical forefathers-tied power called "the Roar". (basically Disney ripped-off the Dragon Shouts from Skyrim and gave it to Scar and Kion) At some point, Scar tried to use the Lion Guard in a coup to become king. The Lion Guard refused and thus he used his power to "shout" them into oblivion. However, this in turn, earned the wrath of the forefathers who then stripped Scar of his power and cast him down, before being banished by the king. Why and how he returned was never actually explained.
Maleficent the movie takes a lot of liberties and tries to humanize her when her appeal came from being deliciously evil and loving it. She was essentially royalty and yet she wasn't even invited to a celebration paupers were allowed to come to. Of course milady would be spiteful. They're just lucky she didn't burn the place to the ground as a dragon. Try watching the Nostalgia Critic episode on it.
Random Potato That's funny because I love Markiplier and I thought that actor was cute. If he even slightly resembles him, maybe that's why. I didn't think he looked like Markiplier upon seeing him, though. Markiplier's cuter, anyways. 😉
Tara Tara I don’t know - Luke Evans is pretty cute. But he is gay, still awesome, but means that ship will never sail. He really is a great actor though. He played Bard in the recent Hobbit movies.
@@Alsebra I was about to say it's probably Morgana, but you make valid points. Mim really was just a trickster sorceress, not a threat to the kingdom like Morgana.
"Frolo practically saved and raised Quasimodo" You do remember the part where Frolo ordered Q to be killed, then the priest begged Frolo not to, then Frolo spared (not saved) Q so he could use him later. Also, Q was raised in and by the priesthood of Notre Dam; Frolo certainly had no involvement in Q becoming the man he did.
I just figure Gaston has a case of full-blown narcissistic Personality Disorder. In their heads, they are the most important person in the universe. They draw people in and can be very charismatic. However those who get to know narcissists closely often grow tired of their antics and see past their appealing exterior. I feel as though Gaston went so far simply because Belle definitely hurt his ego and fed his narcissistic brain a fact he can't handle, that not everybody loves him. I have no pity for Gaston. Whether he has NPD or not he's a braying jackass with a nasty cruel streak.
Hades did get the best wife though even though it's only for half a year. Persephone was the beautiful daughter of Demeter. We just didn't get to see his love story. I always believed she ate six of those pomegranate seeds on purpose to stay with him.
I think it's because oftentimes the villains have more character development than the protagonist. The good guy is usually young and has little experience with the world, which is where children can relate and like those characters. As we grow older though, and we understand things we used to not, we can begin to see that the world isn't just black and white.
I hate how Disney mostly sees things in black and white. They always seem to assume heroes are all good and villains are pure evil despite the fact they aren’t. Other villains who didn’t originally start off evil would include Captain Hook, Morgana, Gothel, and Randall.
People should tell Disney to stop perceiving things in black in white and making their film's filled with black and white morality. The only Disney movie that didn't have black and white morality was Treasure Planet.
Though the Irony of it is some of the animated series had tons of Gray characters, Talespin and Gargoyles comes to mind, and I never considered Gaston truly as evil.
every bad character in disney movies has a tragic story. they can not be evil just like that and doing bad things can not be done just for fun. we need to understand that and know them better before we do some acusations. (sorry for my bad english)
I really found the Gaston backstory interesting. PTSD from childhood, if untreated, can evolve into Bipolar disorder as you get older. Bipolar can also evolve into a Personality Disorder which has the common traits of narcissism, acting spontaneously, and at times having violent outbursts especially if something doesn't go your way. That is, in my opinion, the best explanation of a character's backstory on this list. While he would be young to be a war hero at 16, let's be real for a second, it would make sense to give him some kind of traumatic events that resulted in him being self centered. Remember, self centered doesn't always just mean you think you're better than others, it can also mean he has to work hard to stay beautiful and perfect or else he would loose everything, including marrying the perfect girl to further his image.
This is total misinformation. As someone who has both ptsd and BPD those are two very different illnesses and have nothing to do with each other or bipolar disorder. Mental illnesses don't turn into different illnesses by being left untreated. Some illnesses can be a symptom of an untreaded illness like developing depression or anxiety because of the stress of dealing with an untreated disorder or the impact the symptoms of a disorder has on you but ptsd can't turn into 2 different illnesses just by not getting treatment for it the same way as depression can't turn into schizophrenia by being left untreated. This isn't pokemon. Mental illnesses don't "evolve" into completely different illnesses just by not getting treatment for them. Mood swings are a symptom of PTSD but it doesn't mean you have Bipolar or BPD because you have them.
CouplesCounseling While I appreciate your feedback and understand your confusion, I have to remind you that I would not have made that comment had I not studied it during my psychology courses while getting my masters. Yes experts have noted connections with children being diagnosed with PTSD at early ages and diagnoses of Bipolar and Personality Disorders as adults. While some are just diagnosed with with disorders such as yourself, others will develop a series of mental disorders and breakdowns as a result of a single event. The personality traits are all linked in these disorders, and it is not uncommon for trauma to develop into long lasting psychological problems in the future. Mental Health is still something being researched daily. While we do not have all of the facts just yet, experts are finding connections with childhood diagnosed disorders and new diagnosis as adults.
CouplesCounseling Also, I will remind you that just because you have a disorder, it doesn’t make you an expert on it as many people can be diagnosed with the same issue but have several different traits. Not everyone who suffers from bipolar disorder have the symptoms and bipolar is not just a disease you are born as proven through new research.
Amanda I’m aware that having a disorder doesn’t make me an expert but in my own studies I’ve learned that borderline personality disorder is developed only in early childhood from infancy to 3 years old from a detachment to the mother and while can be interrelated with the other disorders cannot be caused by trauma later in life as your post suggested. It also cannot evolve from any other disorder as your comment said. Maybe your comment was not worded correctly, as it seems like you are saying that one illness can transform into another by being left untreated which is absolutely untrue. For more information on this topic you can read this www.giftfromwithin.org/html/FAQ-Link-Between-PTSD-BPD-Bi-Polar.html where the exact topic is answered by a licensed doctor. Also just because I have an illness doesn’t mean I don’t also have a degree in psychology =)
CouplesCounseling I have no idea what you are referring to as the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria outlines the requirements for personality disorders. Through history you see most were diagnosed as adults but recently they have given information on how to diagnose below the ages of 18 and in extremely rare cases below the age of 13. Personality disorders do not have defined causes but most cases have clear ties to abuse and trauma that occurred in early stages of life before the age of 13. While interning with with the state hospital for juveniles, I did not find any clear conclusion that it was due to a lack of connection between a mother and an infant.The leading causes and risk factors for personality disorder are listed as childhood abuse, parenting, Socio economic factors, and genetics. Which further proves my point that PTSD is connected with that of a persons personality disorder. Not to mention you even admitted yourself that you have both PTSD and bipolar disorder. What you were referring to is an attachment disorder. Those are completely different from personality disorders in general.Reactive attachment disorder begins with the bond between mother and child to which if a child is not bond with her mother or any other individuals on an early age of infancy where it is learning emotions and reactions that will lead to other attachment disorders later on such is the case of Mary Bell and other children who end up murdering at an early age. My comment was worded correctly, you are obviously confusing personality disorders, which by the way there are different kinds of personality disorder classifications, with RAD. Here is a list of credible resources for you in your “studies”. I hope you find these resources more useful than Google: ISBN: 0890425558 ISBN: 978-0-89042-555-8 ISBN: 978-1-60918-494-0.

I love the movie, I just really enjoy it, but I hate that it's not correct. Like at all, a lot of it is missing key parts to Greek mythology or showing a part of it, that is false. And yes they portray Hades a villion, In wich Greek Mythology all Gods and Goddeses have a bad side to them. Even Herculeuse who is considered the hero has doen some bad things.
Not to mention he has every reason to be pissy at Zeus for sticking him with the most thankless job in the universe. Just because Mom liked zeus more. Seriously.
I have ptsd & several mental illnesses/have been through ab*se so like... that doesn’t give them any excuses tbh? I try not to hurt people. It’s not that hard to be a decent person.
Tyler needsalife without wanting to respect you, people react different to trauma. Some people become "nice" and some people don't and both of the "types of victims" are valid!!!
Disney didn't invent Quasimodo and his story... it was from a novel written by Victor Hugo. And the way Quasimodo lives, given the historical period, is quite realistic.
The mother locked Cruella in the room BECAUSE Cruella as killing people... It was the more humane choice considering it was a 1920s style world and they didn't have the best of psychiatric care.
Amanda Pike Yeah, you're right. I think I'd rather be locked in the room than in an asylum back then (I have some mental illnesses like severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and I'm gay so I'd *definitely* be put in an asylum and labeled as "insane")

The people who wrote the Disney movie Hercules obviously had NO idea of the actual story of Hercules. Hades was supposed to be the most fair minded and least petty of the Olympian gods. It was actually Hera who was tormenting Hercules to punish Zeus for cheating on her with Hercules mum.
What should they? Homewrecking in a Disney movie? And Hades is the king of hell for the Americans that means devil =the bad guy
Acutely Hades is way different then hell there is even a place for the exstreamly good people "blessed dead" called Elysium Fields/Plains, then there are levels for how "righteous " you lived your life, all the dead go to hades, then you go through judgement, then you go to the fields of Elysium, Asphodel, or Punishment
Disney knew the story but as per their m.o., they rewrote it. Cheating spouses are taboo in the Disney animation world.
You know how Disney goes. Making the dumbest versions of beloved stories with great music to make up for it lol.
Unlike this channel they knew Disney simply rewrote it like many people do with stories. It's about being inspired not doing the exact same thing.
I dunno if this was from somewhere but my literature teacher told us about Cinderella's stepmother's story too.
She said her name was Freesia and she was not so pretty, but she was kind and helpful. She met Cinderella's father and they both fell in love with each other. They were about to get married when Cinderella's father met Freesia's cousin, who was beautiful, and he left Freesia for her. Freesia's cousin and Cinderella's father got married and had a child, who's our girl Cinderella. On the contrary, Freesia got forcefully married with a guy who she didn't love and had two girls. Freesia's husband died after some years and she was all alone with the two girls. Cinderella's mother had died too. Freesia then met /him/ after some years and they fell in love again, so they got married. Freesia didn't like Cinderella cuz it reminded her of her sadness and suffering. When he died, Freesia was completely devastated. She thought her life was just going worse and worse. She mistreated Cinderella just because she couldn't look at her without thinking of her cousin who betrayed her.

we need to make this comment more popular oof
I love this! Thanks for sharing

@Luca Devine if what Jessie is true then I doubt that will make it to the history channel because the history channel actually does there research and disney doesn't and that's why I can't stand watching it in the modern version.

Honestly, this is literally how Hades became how he did:
Zeus: So Poseidon you'll have the ocean, I'll have the sky, and Hades? Oh- Oh you'll love this-
*You get the basement.*
Greek myths paint a somewhat different picture:
Even tho Zeus defeated their father, the Titan Cronus, he, Poseidon, and Hades drew lots for which realm they would rule.
Now imagine Hades, Lord of the Sea. :)

In all Greek myths, especially the story of Heracles, Hades is shown to be very respectable and willing to return the favor for anyone who respects him. Heracles shows him respect and Hades allows him to take Cerberus with him as long as he doesn't hurt him with a weapon. So obviously he cares about his dog and isn't stubborn and extremely violent and or self absorbed as a lot of the other gods... *cough* ATHENA *cough* .

Connor Waltob You mean read, right?
"He did practically save and raise Quasimodo." Um... no. He murdered Quasimodo's mother and was going to drown him in a well before the priest guilted him into sparing Quasimodo. Then he kept him locked up in a tower his whole life.
Not killing someone when you can kill someone is saving them. Even if the life they have isn't what they would have had without you showing up in the first place.
This is a very late reply but Claude did save him. The story of quasimodo was that his parents didn’t want him due to being deformed so they left him in a box in town square which is somewhat of a way of adoption back in the day. Frollo found him and it reminded him of his little brother. So he took him in and raised him as his own son.
Miss Démone Claude did save Quasimodo in the book but wasn’t he still a jerk?
Kristiniqua I never read the book but based on what I’ve heard in the book version Frollo was a pretty decent guy until he luster after Esmeralda and that list drove him to insanity and then everything started going very wrong very very fast.
He’s talking through the book version. Frollo adopted Quasimodo because the helpless deformed baby reminded him of his sick brother that he had to take care of by himself. He found him on Quasimodo day and that’s what he was named after.

For Hercules, actually, Hera is not his mom. Zeus fell in love with a human girl on earth. When her husband was sent off to war, Zeus disguised himself as her husband, went down to earth, and Hercules was born. When her husband came back, she realized her mistake. Zeus went back up to the gods, but Hera was furious. Remember when baby Hercules fought pain and panic when they turned into snakes? Those snakes weren’t sent by hades, they were sent by Hera to kill baby Hercules. When he was sent to earth, he had to complete his 12 challenges in order to join his father on mount Olympus. Crazy, right?
Actually Hera manipulated him to kill his family so he had to complete the 12 things to become forgiven.
from what I have read, actually the human women abandoned the baby to die in fear Hera would kill her, feeling that his son deserved better he pleaded with Hera to forgive him and spare the child from the cruel elements and to let him live on mount Olympus. Hera annoyed said fine but he would have to complete 12 tasks before he could so. so he was spared and when he was old enough he would be welcomed into Olympus. Hades had no part in this besides being annoyed that Cerberus was dragged from his job.
@@funnypasta6155 No after he was abandoned in the forest Athena found him and sent him back then when he grew up he killed everyone and had to do 12 things then he got married again but his wife thought he was cheating on him so an evil centaur gave her a vial of centaur blood which he said was a live potion and when it touches Hercules skin he will forget about all other women then she put the blood on his shirt and Hercules put on the shirt/toga and centaur blood is actually like acid so Hercules melted then Zeus made him a god.

@@BrandeeMack I wonder if that was actually by design? Like the name of the Lone Ranger's partner, Tonto, meaning silly or fool.
never understood the critique on Cinderella. she was a victim of emotional, psychological, and physical abuse. why is it her fault she doesnt "stand up for herself". Do we blame victims of abuse IRL for not standing up for themselves...
Frankly, I'm surprised she can still be nice and kind in that situation.
Yes, absolutely we did. It's only in the last few years that we stopped doing that
I think the critique is on the way it is told, that as long as you can live through the abuse, there's a kind fairy godmother to fix everything. There isn't, so if you actually have the choice to stay in or leave an abusive situation, you shouldn't be told to stay cuz it's going to be fine in the end any way.
Mrs. Elise Patterson, Cinderella pretty much didn’t stand up for herself because, after her father died, she was never taught ways she could. If her father had lived longer, she might have learned ways she could defend herself, but she was instead turned into a maid by her stepmother because she didn’t really care as much for her than she did her own daughters ( she got more care from animals than she did family until she married the prince )
Yep. You get abused for long enough, and you start to crave it. It's sad, and takes decades of therapy to come to terms with and often is irreversible.
So Ursula is basically Loki
XD yeah
Yep pretty much
Loki and oden are actually blood brothers
It would make an interesting theory if they were within the same timeline.

I feel like characters such as Lady Tremaine, (maybe) Mother Gotten, Frollo, and Gaston were forged by the toxic environment they lived in and that's what shaped them into the villains of the story.
That being said it does nothing to justify the cruelty and misdeeds they committed.
Hal B. Noire Same! I had never heard this backstory for Gaston before, but I’ve always thought this stuff about Lady Tremaine.
It’s Mother Gothal
@@ryderp.7451 Göthel.
Considering in 17y0 where beauty and the beast takes place it would make sense for Gaston seeing belle as nothing but something to marry. As women didn’t have rights back then
Here's my one issue with the Cruella backstory. You claimed she had been born a sociopath, But that's physically impossible. People can be born psychopaths, but sociopathy is developed overtime by abuse and manipulation
Actually, that's not true. About 50% of what a sociopath is comes from hereditary things- as in, things they're born with. What's most likely is that she was born a sociopath and, this being a guess, had some amount of small trauma. Her father isn't present, so that could have easily been her first small trigger into beginning manipulating people from a young age and possibly causing harm to other people and animals as a way to deal with her emotions. And as her mother tries again and again to remarry, her lack of empathy makes her see those men as invaders, people who could potentially leave her just like her biological father had, so she kills them. In fact, the vast majority of diagnosed sociopaths DO NOT come from abusive households, and while she was clearly abused, sociopath or not, sociopaths are not born of abuse.
@@sebastianlugo5781 in once upon a time version he was telling about, she killed her own father. So in that case it couldn't be the reason for her socialpathic behaviour. In my opinion she was just crazy
In the original book (The Hundred and One Dalmatians, by Dodie Smith) Cruella was always odd to say the least. She was apparently expelled from school for drinking ink according to the character Mrs Dearly (no first name, becomes Anita in the Disney version.).
There is not sufficient evidence to claim that someone is born with sociopathy or psychopathy. We simply do not know the origins of psychopathy or sociopathy. Personally, I believe that trauma can lead one to switch off compassion
@@quinxiasoaresbarros1144 What do you mean "just crazy"?? There's no "just crazy", just different types of crazy.

Pro Procrastinator He Got Mixed Up Jeasus People!!!
exactly! in both the original cartoon and later in Maleficent the king's name was STEPHEN. Aurora marries Phillip. seriously, the dimwit who narrated this video needs to do a little more research before making any more of these videoes
Ugh, I hate the revisionist idea of Cinderella that people feel the need to bash it. Because it's totally okay to bash someone for "not standing up for themselves" when confronting someone who has abused them since early childhood. When will this trend die? This is not okay. I thought people had caught on that this was no tokay. Cinderella didn't anticipate marrying the prince. She just wanted a break from her long term abuse. And it's NOT okay to say she should have stood up for herself. That's a LOT harder than it sounds for long term abuse victims. Did you ever stop to consider what would have happened to her if she tried to stand up to her stepmother? Honestly wish people would stop treating kindness as a weakness. Try actually watching the film before you tell us women what is empowering or not. It took bravery for that girl to even go to the ball after what they did to her.
Yeah, I didn't agree with the take on Cinderella in this. If you were abused by the one person in a position of authority from childhood and made to believe you were worthless, the psychological damage would be almost insurmountable. In fact, Cinderella not going bonkers crazy and becoming a villain herself is a testament to her nature as a caring loving person. Her mannerisms and 'passive' nature as this take on her story put it is entirely the Step Mother's fault. I have little if any sympathy for the step mother--she was second only to Cruella in petty cruelness and her backstory is no excuse to treat a child so badly.
BIG MOOD
Well, at least in the Grimms' original fairytale, the step-mother receives a punishment.
THANK YOU. I was so annoyed when they said that, seriously... Stop blaming the victim.....
It's Cinderella, not the modern times. She doesn't have the strength to go against the person that broke her for many years.
so.. anyone elts think Hades is the nicest god in Greek mythology cause you know he's the only god without acting upon insest or sexual ssault.
Persephone, his wife, is the daughter of Zeus, his brother, and Demeter, Their sister. as in both the sister of Zeus and Hades. All in all though He did have Zeus permission as her father to wed her before taking her to the underworld which most people tend to forget. In that time as long as you have the fathers permission it was culturally acceptable to than take the woman as your bride.
WRONG!!! He kidnapped Persephone and made her to be his wife.
uuhmm.... Hestia? Plus Athena does not have anything do with incest or sexual assault so... check yourself before you wreck yourself LOL

If Gaston has PTSD, why does a line in the movie imply thinking about the war makes him happy and calms him down when he's upset? I thought the implications were that he enjoyed being at war because he enjoyed violence.
Renafly because some PTSD victims put on a front to hide the pain from others.
I'm no expert, but I think thrill-seeking is a fairly common coping mechanism to PTSD. I'm not sure what the exact logic is, but perhaps KNOWING you're in danger is easier to cope with than THINKING YOU MIGHT BE.
Renafly Violent conflict is one of the best ways to end pain without directly getting your hands dirty. If you know what I mean.
In Cinderella's defense she was abused her entire life and people that suffer abuse often have no sense of identity and low self-esteem so she was trained to always stay in the house and do whatever they say that's part of why she is so passive can't really blame her when it's not her fault she was abused but yes the story is morally bankrupt.

Can u say more then just " no, its not" 🙄
There are so many mistakes in this video, it shows nobody cared to do actual research. Hercules story was not even close to the Disney movie! Once Upon a Time is not the source of Cruella’s story but a non canon story (in the book, Cruella was always an eccentric girl who was so obssessed with spots that she was expelled from school for drinking ink in an attempt to get them). And it is well known now that the writers of The Little Mermaid had planned to make Ursula Triton’s sister who he exiled because of her imperfections (since she was half octopus). I won’t even watch the rest. This is your job, do it better.
They also say Ursula is a “step sister.” Adopted siblings are just siblings lol Not to mention that Cinderella is based on the folk tale, which is nothing like what this video mentions.

I didn't understand it until i got older. I had always wondered why my parents reacted so weird to that song
I didn't understand it quite, either, other than he had some feelings for her. But no one in my family acted weird because of this, it's just that it's creepy when you look back at it. :D
in the original, he kidnapped, raped, and then killed her
I really hope that, should any of these villains not already have a live action appearance, Disney will give them one that let's us see their backstory. However I don't want this to become another Maleficent incident. The villains' characters should not be altered for the sake of making us feel bad about them. Yes, we should sometimes be able to sympathize with them,but not to the point where that outweighs the *Evil* deeds they have or are about to commit.
In fairness, while certainly the ending was altered from the animated version--her backstory isn't outside the realm of possibility. The original Sleeping Beauty does start after a large portion of the events that take place in Maleficient's backstory.
better late than never Well actually I thought maleficent was pretty cool.
Cheyenne Williams it was good, and I won't take that from you. I thought the effects were pretty good, I just don't want them to try to humanize their villains more than is necessary.
better late than never oh no I totally agree with not humanizing all of them. But tbh sleeping beauty wasn’t all that exciting and is rather boring. I thought that adding the maleficent part of the story added so much more to the story and honestly made much more sense as to why she put the curse on aurora. But they can’t do that with all villains.
Cheyenne Williams I can't wait to see what they do with Mulan when they get to her film.
"saved and raised young Quasi Modo"

Thank you!
He didn't save him. He was going to kill Quasi too. But the guy from Notre Dame stopped him. Got frollo to feel guilty enough to raise him, even then ended up trying to kill him again.
In the book frollo actually did save quasimodo; quasimodo's parents abandoned him because of his deformity at a church and frollo pitied him because it reminded him of he and his brother being abandoned by their own parents and he didn't want quasimodo to suffer the same fate. In the book, frollo is a decent person until he is driven insane by his lust for esmeralda

Phillip is the name of the prince that Aurora meets later
"STEPMOTHER"? Her name's Lady Tremaine, jeebus.
Then why call Stephen, phillip? Phillip was the prince arura falls in love with. Stephen was aruras father
Honestly, I don’t respect her enough to care if he said her name or not. She’s not one of the best Disney villains, in my opinion.
Actually the ORIIGNAL story of Sleeping Beauty, the Unnamed "Old Fairy" (Disney gave her a name, Maleficent) Wasn't invited to the christening because she was so old everyone assumed she was dead. Bad Assumption, Tragedy ensues. You don't diss a fairy.
"I.....was.....slleeppping!, how many times I gotta tell yeah I'm not dead.....that's it lets see you YOU feel when I make everyone think YOUR dead but really just SLEEPING!!! MUHAHHAHAAA!!" wow evil genius right there 👏👏👏

Another version states they had only 12 golden plates and so they did not invite the 13th fairy.
I think scar was emotionally "scared" for life. (get it ?)

Why
Hades is the sassy gay friend lmfao
Really? I don't think Scar could have been banished if he was invited by his brother to celebrate Simba's baptism.
And I don't think Mufasa would make the trip over to his place (which by lion's standards isn't too shabby) to express his disappointment that he didn't come to the ceremony, meaning he was expecting him to show up.
And while I can't confirm if it's true or not, I'd read that the father treated and loved both sons equally. Even when Scar couldn't take the throne, he made sure that he still held a position of influence and basically appointed Scar as Mufasa's right-hand man; which I'm guessing did not fly well for him.
But when simba was a cub he killed his father
Hal B. Noire mufasa could have welcomed scar back y’know
They still named his "trash."
It's king Stefan, not Phillip, Prince Phillip is Auroras love interest in sleeping beauty
Disney really needs to make lore movies or something.
Once upon a time isn't enough.
That little mermaid story about Ursula would've made a gr8 prequel.
They did Maleficent, they should totally do Ursula.
I can understand there is a why someone would do something bad but that doesn't make it "right". It really annoys me when people don't take responsibility and blame their behavior on their past. You can be more than your past. You can rise above it and still be a "good" person.
No completely disagree, Cinderella is a symbol of hard work, determination and staying true to who you are in the face of years of mental and emotional abuse.

Actually, the correct term for Cruella is a Psychopath. No one is ever born a sociopath. Psychos are the way they are from birth. Socios experienced something traumatic and remembered it.
And Scar? Sociopath, not psycho.
Luke Martin she was LOCKED IN AN ATTIC! Cmon that can’t have helped
Outrageous claim. No one is born a psychopath, just like no one is racist.
Psychopathy is caused by a difference in brain chemistry and structure that is present from birth. Do some research and you can find all sorts of interesting things about it.
I study psychology and criminology at uni and if you truly research it. All psychopaths are sociopaths, but not all sociopaths are psychopaths as they share the same symptoms, however psychopathy has more symptoms that can be more severe, thus being the worse of the two. As for the cause, there are many and can usually not be pinpointed. There are many genes and chemical hormones that can contribute to such antisocial personality disorders. However experiencing traumatic events tends to act as a catalyst to the two. I Believe her to be a psychopath as she displays most symptoms for sociopathy as well as psychopathy. She has a superficial charm, lack of remorse, she is impulsive and manipulative and lacks any deep emotional attachment, those are a few examples. Check ya facts people
For anyone thinking that Hunchback of Notre Dame was scary, if you read the book as a kid, you would have needed therapy for years

As much as I like the show, OUaT is not canon. For instance. according to the original book "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" Cruella was a schoolmate of Anita's, who was always messed up (Cruella was one expelled for drinking ink). No backstory; just a born messed-up, narcissistic sociopath. (Side note: In the original book, Pongo's missus was simply called Missus; Perdita was a young mother Dalmatian whose puppies were taken from her and Roger found her on the side of the road, noticed that she could be a milknurse to help Missus, and took her in. There were 97 puppies rescued, including Pongo's & MIssus' 13 and Perdita's pups. I know that adds up to 100: the last chapter of the book, titled "The One Hundred and Oneth Dalmatian" explains the last Dalmatian: Perdita's long-lost husband!)
official l2 English
True, I think there was also a scene at the end of the book after Cruella gets caught she developed Marie Antoinette syndrome ( which causes someone's hair to turn white after a stressful/traumatic event) but since one side of her head was already white that side turned green.
Thank you! I love Dodie Smith’s book, and when they started talking about OUaT, i was like “uhhh NOPE”.
I love the book too! I was so excited when I found it at my local library a couple years ago; I can't find it anywhere else

You can try to make sympathy all you want... But Frollo is pure evil in my book. I don't feel sorry for him.
This is hard to believe, but Claude Frollo was even worse in the original work by Victor Hugo.... By the way: don't read it if you are hoping for a happy ending....
@giveagoodsong Huh? I know Quasimodo was abandoned by his birth family (in fact, I think they stole a baby girl who grew up to be Esmeralda and left Quasi in her place!) but I didn't catch that their abandoning him caused his deformity! I thought they dumped the poor kid BECAUSE of this deformity.
Nope. Still hate Cruella immeasurably.
I mean, her backstory doesn't excuse her actions whatsoever-and actually in my mind, when I saw those episodes of Once Upon a Time, it only made it worse--she's truly an insane animal killing b****. She's a heartless woman hell bent on killing animals to get fur she finds beautiful.
Yeah! SHE KILLED PUPPIES!!
I can see that. Your profile pic is a dog.
Even if her fashion sense is amazing (live action movies, I loved the designs for her wardrobe.) I'd NEVER wear real fur or leather
She is so twisted as a villain.
hades was actually barely involved in the original story. it was hera who tried to kill Hercules
hazarddex Hades shows up for a little bit when Hercules had to capture Cerberus for one of his 12 labors and Hades tells his nephew to not hurt Cerberus with a weapon
6:16 The Scar part.... The reason why he was banished is because when he was younger, he was the leader of the Lion Guard - basically the Pride Lands version of the Avengers, and had the magical forefathers-tied power called "the Roar". (basically Disney ripped-off the Dragon Shouts from Skyrim and gave it to Scar and Kion) At some point, Scar tried to use the Lion Guard in a coup to become king. The Lion Guard refused and thus he used his power to "shout" them into oblivion. However, this in turn, earned the wrath of the forefathers who then stripped Scar of his power and cast him down, before being banished by the king. Why and how he returned was never actually explained.
Hades is justified
Just the villains alone are messed up especially cruella
Panda Bo and Ursula
Ruby Jane yea that's true
dd plush and more yea she's a psycho! I would do the same

Maleficent the movie takes a lot of liberties and tries to humanize her when her appeal came from being deliciously evil and loving it. She was essentially royalty and yet she wasn't even invited to a celebration paupers were allowed to come to. Of course milady would be spiteful. They're just lucky she didn't burn the place to the ground as a dragon. Try watching the Nostalgia Critic episode on it.

Random Potato That's funny because I love Markiplier and I thought that actor was cute. If he even slightly resembles him, maybe that's why. I didn't think he looked like Markiplier upon seeing him, though. Markiplier's cuter, anyways. 😉
Tara Tara I don’t know - Luke Evans is pretty cute. But he is gay, still awesome, but means that ship will never sail. He really is a great actor though. He played Bard in the recent Hobbit movies.
I would have liked to know the background to Madam Mim 😂
@@Alsebra I was about to say it's probably Morgana, but you make valid points. Mim really was just a trickster sorceress, not a threat to the kingdom like Morgana.
"Frolo practically saved and raised Quasimodo" You do remember the part where Frolo ordered Q to be killed, then the priest begged Frolo not to, then Frolo spared (not saved) Q so he could use him later. Also, Q was raised in and by the priesthood of Notre Dam; Frolo certainly had no involvement in Q becoming the man he did.
I just figure Gaston has a case of full-blown narcissistic Personality Disorder. In their heads, they are the most important person in the universe. They draw people in and can be very charismatic. However those who get to know narcissists closely often grow tired of their antics and see past their appealing exterior. I feel as though Gaston went so far simply because Belle definitely hurt his ego and fed his narcissistic brain a fact he can't handle, that not everybody loves him. I have no pity for Gaston. Whether he has NPD or not he's a braying jackass with a nasty cruel streak.
Hades did get the best wife though even though it's only for half a year. Persephone was the beautiful daughter of Demeter. We just didn't get to see his love story. I always believed she ate six of those pomegranate seeds on purpose to stay with him.
The Hercules movie BARELY had any accuracy in it.
It had NO accuracy. Except God name pronunciation.
8:08 The king was actually King STEFAN. Prince PHILLIP was the true love of Aurora
Creulla de vil, cruella de vil, if she doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will.
Where's The Evil Queen from Snow White?
Or Evil Queen Regina from Once Upon a Time???
The101genco They are the same person. And I guess OUAT took care of that origin story. Lol
They share her story on OUAT
My name is Regina
Cruellest story was so harsh lol I know she's a villain but it was great none the less
Solrac Hernandez wich story?
Holly Ham Cruellas story lol
Holly Ham I think when they said cruellest they meant cruella’s
As in it was a typo
I have a feeling Dr. facilier had a lot of trouble with his parents, who were royalty.
His mom was most likely a Voodoo queen
Kaa is one of my favorite villains. No real backstory needed, he's a python, he gets hungry, end of backstory.
I thought Aurora’s father was King Stephan and the prince is Prince Philip
Well...you know you are growing up when you start to like the villains more than the actual protagonist of the story😂
I think it's because oftentimes the villains have more character development than the protagonist. The good guy is usually young and has little experience with the world, which is where children can relate and like those characters. As we grow older though, and we understand things we used to not, we can begin to see that the world isn't just black and white.
I hate how Disney mostly sees things in black and white. They always seem to assume heroes are all good and villains are pure evil despite the fact they aren’t.
Other villains who didn’t originally start off evil would include Captain Hook, Morgana, Gothel, and Randall.
GothGirlXenon So then don't watch Disney films.
People should tell Disney to stop perceiving things in black in white and making their film's filled with black and white morality.
The only Disney movie that didn't have black and white morality was Treasure Planet.
Moana.
Though the Irony of it is some of the animated series had tons of Gray characters, Talespin and Gargoyles comes to mind, and I never considered Gaston truly as evil.
Fairy tales are usually black and white because the point is to teach a lesson. The characters are less important than their actions.
every bad character in disney movies has a tragic story. they can not be evil just like that and doing bad things can not be done just for fun. we need to understand that and know them better before we do some acusations. (sorry for my bad english)
Screen Rant:who is the super villain you most have the empathy for?
Me:Voldemort and Umbrigde and most of all Loki
Iarah francesca Samson, Elphaba!
My cats name is Jaffar(Jafar) and he's just the sweetest and most loveable cat. He had that name when i adopted him. His 5/6 and a Tabby
I really found the Gaston backstory interesting. PTSD from childhood, if untreated, can evolve into Bipolar disorder as you get older. Bipolar can also evolve into a Personality Disorder which has the common traits of narcissism, acting spontaneously, and at times having violent outbursts especially if something doesn't go your way. That is, in my opinion, the best explanation of a character's backstory on this list. While he would be young to be a war hero at 16, let's be real for a second, it would make sense to give him some kind of traumatic events that resulted in him being self centered. Remember, self centered doesn't always just mean you think you're better than others, it can also mean he has to work hard to stay beautiful and perfect or else he would loose everything, including marrying the perfect girl to further his image.
This is total misinformation. As someone who has both ptsd and BPD those are two very different illnesses and have nothing to do with each other or bipolar disorder. Mental illnesses don't turn into different illnesses by being left untreated. Some illnesses can be a symptom of an untreaded illness like developing depression or anxiety because of the stress of dealing with an untreated disorder or the impact the symptoms of a disorder has on you but ptsd can't turn into 2 different illnesses just by not getting treatment for it the same way as depression can't turn into schizophrenia by being left untreated. This isn't pokemon. Mental illnesses don't "evolve" into completely different illnesses just by not getting treatment for them. Mood swings are a symptom of PTSD but it doesn't mean you have Bipolar or BPD because you have them.
CouplesCounseling While I appreciate your feedback and understand your confusion, I have to remind you that I would not have made that comment had I not studied it during my psychology courses while getting my masters. Yes experts have noted connections with children being diagnosed with PTSD at early ages and diagnoses of Bipolar and Personality Disorders as adults. While some are just diagnosed with with disorders such as yourself, others will develop a series of mental disorders and breakdowns as a result of a single event. The personality traits are all linked in these disorders, and it is not uncommon for trauma to develop into long lasting psychological problems in the future. Mental Health is still something being researched daily. While we do not have all of the facts just yet, experts are finding connections with childhood diagnosed disorders and new diagnosis as adults.
CouplesCounseling Also, I will remind you that just because you have a disorder, it doesn’t make you an expert on it as many people can be diagnosed with the same issue but have several different traits. Not everyone who suffers from bipolar disorder have the symptoms and bipolar is not just a disease you are born as proven through new research.
Amanda I’m aware that having a disorder doesn’t make me an expert but in my own studies I’ve learned that borderline personality disorder is developed only in early childhood from infancy to 3 years old from a detachment to the mother and while can be interrelated with the other disorders cannot be caused by trauma later in life as your post suggested. It also cannot evolve from any other disorder as your comment said. Maybe your comment was not worded correctly, as it seems like you are saying that one illness can transform into another by being left untreated which is absolutely untrue. For more information on this topic you can read this www.giftfromwithin.org/html/FAQ-Link-Between-PTSD-BPD-Bi-Polar.html where the exact topic is answered by a licensed doctor. Also just because I have an illness doesn’t mean I don’t also have a degree in psychology =)
CouplesCounseling I have no idea what you are referring to as the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria outlines the requirements for personality disorders. Through history you see most were diagnosed as adults but recently they have given information on how to diagnose below the ages of 18 and in extremely rare cases below the age of 13. Personality disorders do not have defined causes but most cases have clear ties to abuse and trauma that occurred in early stages of life before the age of 13. While interning with with the state hospital for juveniles, I did not find any clear conclusion that it was due to a lack of connection between a mother and an infant.The leading causes and risk factors for personality disorder are listed as childhood abuse, parenting, Socio economic factors, and genetics. Which further proves my point that PTSD is connected with that of a persons personality disorder. Not to mention you even admitted yourself that you have both PTSD and bipolar disorder. What you were referring to is an attachment disorder. Those are completely different from personality disorders in general.Reactive attachment disorder begins with the bond between mother and child to which if a child is not bond with her mother or any other individuals on an early age of infancy where it is learning emotions and reactions that will lead to other attachment disorders later on such is the case of Mary Bell and other children who end up murdering at an early age. My comment was worded correctly, you are obviously confusing personality disorders, which by the way there are different kinds of personality disorder classifications, with RAD.

I never counted Hades as a villain. He’s just doing his job. I actually hate the Hercules movie, Disney doesn’t portray the good side of Hades.
I love the movie, I just really enjoy it, but I hate that it's not correct. Like at all, a lot of it is missing key parts to Greek mythology or showing a part of it, that is false. And yes they portray Hades a villion, In wich Greek Mythology all Gods and Goddeses have a bad side to them. Even Herculeuse who is considered the hero has doen some bad things.
Not to mention he has every reason to be pissy at Zeus for sticking him with the most thankless job in the universe. Just because Mom liked zeus more. Seriously.
Gaston just needs a hug and a cup of chocolate I swear.😣😟
Nope he needs therapy and a lot of help he is crazy
m m that too
If I met Gaston in real life I'd have to hit him. He's just too dang arrogant
Well, nothing can ever justify evil deeds. Explain them, maybe.
Also Ursula and Maleficient are absolute bombshells
its King Stefan, Phillip is the prince that saves Aurora
all villains have backstories if they didn't then why would they be called villains?
What about Lord Dominator from "Wander over Yonder"? As far as we know she did not have a tragic backstory and did evil things for the sake of evil.
Cause they're dicks like Lord Drakkon
Quinn Fletcher I never seen it so how should I know?
It's actually Stefan not Philip
I have ptsd & several mental illnesses/have been through ab*se so like... that doesn’t give them any excuses tbh? I try not to hurt people. It’s not that hard to be a decent person.
Tyler needsalife without wanting to respect you, people react different to trauma. Some people become "nice" and some people don't and both of the "types of victims" are valid!!!
Well in the book Frollo wasn't studying sorcery, he was studying Alchemy and people started spreading rumors that he was a witch.
"She just should have been locked away in an institute for being a sociopath" uhhhh yikes dude.
Disney hates people with deformations
Disney didn't invent Quasimodo and his story... it was from a novel written by Victor Hugo.
And the way Quasimodo lives, given the historical period, is quite realistic.
Maleficent is the best villain of all time.
The mother locked Cruella in the room BECAUSE Cruella as killing people... It was the more humane choice considering it was a 1920s style world and they didn't have the best of psychiatric care.
Amanda Pike Yeah, you're right. I think I'd rather be locked in the room than in an asylum back then
(I have some mental illnesses like severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and I'm gay so I'd *definitely* be put in an asylum and labeled as "insane")
Amanda Pike yeah if someone was gay and acted "weird" in the 1920s they would either get beat senseless, or treated like they had some sort of plague
I like how the word SCAR pops up over lil simbas face
This makes you actually feel pretty sorry for the villains. Now I actually forgive them.
Same
