gaston is the best and the rest is all drips
It's really amusing watching this movie through an autistic!Belle, toxic-masculinity-is-a-thing lens. Autistic!Belle is best headcanon. And the fundamental difference between the Beast and Gaston seems to be that the Beast learns better and consequently gets the girl, and Gaston, being determined not to learn better, dies.
Though I gotta say, that one gifset on Tumblr to the tune of "enchantress punishes eleven-year-old for being eleven, and all of eleven-year-old's extensive household to boot, and yet Gaston is the villain of the film? wut?" has a point. Not a point I like, but a point.
And the scene where Lumiere and Mrs. Potts are giving the Beast contradictory advice on how to impress Belle is quite reminiscent of a genderflipped version of "be sexy, but modest; be bold, but demure", etc.
No way is Chip more than ten. I'd put bets on he's not more than five. How did Chip come about, exactly? (Do I even want to know?)
