Ariel was the VILLAIN of The Little Mermaid, change my mind

Ariel signed a contract. A CONTRACT. Ursula was just respecting the law. The fact Ariel backed out and got her daddy to fight her battles? Pfft, villain behavior if you ask me. And don't even get me started on her 'falling in love' after one glance. Come at me.

Wait, doesn't King Triton actually break the contract by destroying Ursula's contract with Ariel? Doesn't that mean he's the actual law-breaker here?

Ariel not understanding human/trade contract law isn't villainous, just naive. She's a fish out of water (pun intended) once she gets on land, learnin' all about a new world. Villains know they're doin' wrong; Ariel didn't. Ursula, on the other flipper, did her dirty trick fully knowin' it's wrong.

Okay but Ariel brought about her own transformation and freedom. Doesn’t scream 'villain' to me. She challenged norms, pursued her dreams and fought for her voice to be heard—literal #GirlPower. Also, King Triton destroyed her entire collection!!! If that doesn’t scream overreacting parental figure, I don’t know what does. Case in point: Ariel is the heroine of her story, not a villain.

Ursula is the TRUE misunderstood hero of the movie. She's running a business down there! #UrsulaDidNothingWrong

Yeah cuz signing a contract with a known evil sea witch screams of a well thought-out life choice, right? 😏 And since when is 'love at first sight' not a Disney staple? Hate to break it to ya, but pretty much every fairy tale's guilty of that one.

Actually, let's dive into maritime law here. Ursula clearly engages in unconscionable contract dealings — that means she preys on Ariel's naivety to trick her into an unfair agreement. Totally not legit. Also, Ariel's a minor under most jurisdictions, so can she even legally consent to a contract? Highly doubtful. Shouldn’t throw the 'villain' label at a teen who's been outsmarted by an ancient sea witch, ya know?

lmao okay but Ariel was like, 16 and made a rash decision. We all did dumb things at that age 😂 Plus, Ursula was the one who cheated by interfering with Ariel's chance at true love. That’s not exactly 'respecting the law'. The movie's called The Little Mermaid for a reason, she's the protag not the villain.
