The DVD commentary for the original has them own up that they ended up making a movie where Beast is the protagonist despite the marketinghttps://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/844411238536937472 …

Which is funny bc the movie is structured so it looks like Belle is the protagonist but she's not the one who grows or changes

Also funny bc thinking Belle is the protagonist is how they ended up forgetting to give the Beast a human first name

You could give Belle an arc but it'd be hard to do without muddling what's already there

If I were making a "more mature" remake I'd lean in a bit on how Belle comes off a bit selfish or, at least, closed off to ppl at first

Instead this version of the opening number makes her MORE of a saint, being a proto-feminist teaching little girls to read and so forth

Like I said I would've emphasized how Belle and the villagers hold each other in mutual contempt and "The Mob Song" is that boiling over

She thinks a literal inhuman monster is better than Gaston, she thinks a haunted castle is a better home than their town

Gaston's toxic masculinity IS worse than an inhuman beast! That's not belle being closed off...
