Today's Character
The Beast is actually a prince who has been transformed into a hideous creature as punishment for his mean, selfish nature. In order to break the spell and turn back into a human, he must learn to love another and earn their love in return.

Yes

Yes

Yes

Yes, barely.

To piss some people off I don't much care for his role in Beauty and the Beast so this yes is mostly from Kingdom Hearts actually-- I have fond memories of him from those games.

I mean, he IS one of the best party members in Kingdom Hearts.

no

Yes

I wish we got more backstory about how, precisely, he was a dick to his ex-wife, but he's still a compelling growth arc that displays how men should treat women with respect. He exemplifies the movie's message quite well (I presume he does in the original fairy tale as well, but I haven't read that) and that's enough for a yes from me.

No

Yes

Yes

No.

Huge manchild

Yeah he's cool

Yes

Yes.

Yes

Yes, but like Lopen, it's mostly for Kingdom Hearts

Yeah

Lopen posted...

Yes, barely.

Mm pretty much exactly this.

I used to like Beast a lot more when I was younger, but rewatching the film brought to light some very glaring character flaws I can't simply forgive. He's a great ally in KH though.

Yes

Yes

Great in KH!

y

bump

Yes

Nominate: Murray Hewitt (Flight of the Conchords)

No

Bump

Yes, he only murders dudes that deserve it.

^

Yes

There's something sweet and almost kind about him.
