She added, “Wtf is that this s***?! Not what I wish to be educating subsequent gen ladies in any respect.” Of course, she’s referring to Ariel giving up her personal voice to grow to be a human to be along with her love curiosity, Prince Eric.
For these unaware, it is the identical trope that was used within the unique 1989 model, so it appears Paloma would possibly’ve forgotten the story earlier than watching this new adaptation.
