Obviously, the comic was made in jest. But I still contend that Ariel's behavior is pretty dumb and selfish when you sit down and think about it too long. Teenage naivete is one thing. But a girl selling her soul/voice to a witch for just a shot at some dude she's never even met is just painfully stupid.
The movie is actually more interesting if you think of King Triton as the "star". He goes through the most change and growth in the movie and actually makes a very noble sacrifice in the end. As a grown up with a somewhat contentious relationship to my much younger sister, I relate to him WAY more than I ever did to Ariel.
I'm going to be marrying my first real crush from back in the day, so I can't say anything. :p
True. But I'm gonna assume that you would NEVER have thrown away your family and permanently changed your body for this man without at least having a conversation with him first. LOL
