Has there ever been a character more unjustly vilified in Disney lore than Gaston, 3.5 readers?
Overconfident? Yes. Cocky? Sure. Kind of a douche? You bet.
Hell, when you’re a big time winner in a world full of epic losers it’s hard not to be a douche.
But when that douche heard that Belle had been kidnapped by and held hostage by a hideous dog monster, Gaston manned up and went off to rescue her.
And how’d Belle thank him for his trouble?
She gets Stockholm Syndrome, falls in love with her captor and spoiler alert, Gaston gets his French ass thrown off a damn castle.
Sigh. Some women just can’t appreciate a winner.
Anyway, the G-Man lives on at a tavern named for him in the Magic Kingdom.
Try the LeFou’s Brew. Frozen apple juice, toasted marshmallow, mango.
Mmm that douche makes a good brew.
