I wonder why I didn't write about this earlier, it always bothered me.
In short, for those unaware of the story: Kingdom Hearts 2 though it was a good idea to have one of their own characters try to talk the beast into suicide.
The beast actually thinking about killing himself and rebelling against Belle was incredibly unneccesary. He and Belle were close in the first game; what makes him think all is lost now. He was turned into such an overcomplicating crybaby, it was hard to sit through his scenes.
I have the Christmas special, and in that one Belle and the beast have the same good relationship, but then everything turns to shit very quickly, just because Belle wants to celebrate Christmas.
Just. What. And there's another creepy character whispering in the beast's ear, brainwashing his dog brain, turning him into king Emo of I-Can-Trust-No-One-And-It's-No-Use Land.
It just doesn't make any sense. The beast is overreacting so badly in these stories, it's like the writers want the beast to be his douchy depressed self from the beginning, but have to get in done in a time period where he was no longer douchy and depressed. Making him extra douchy and depressed.
If we have to accept these mood swings as canon, I'm urged to ship Belle with Gaston, instead of the beast. At least Gaston is consistent.
