Why is it that the "Bergens" look way more trollish than the actual trolls do?

Because the Bergens are actual trolls and not Trolls-trolls.

Puss in Boots was fun enough. I don't think it can get worse than Shark Tale.

Good video. I liked the movie but it was sinnable as hell... the entire second half is basically nothing but Fridge Logic. The movie makes precisely zero sense and runs on MS T3k Mantra to set up some great scenes.

Explain peon, so that I might disown you with my lyrical logic! Cabin in the Woods had an awesome second half that made the first half worth viewing!

I mean, most of the stuff explained in the video. The handy "button to release all the monsters" (and really, most of the things about the monsters), Marty being ridiculously Made of Iron and no one figuring it out (and general zig-zagging of competence of the organization)... it just... doesn't make much sense and is a bunch of great scenes and ideas that don't terribly make a lot of sense.

@Larkman - Heh. Man, I remember the Sins vid on Furious 7. I really wanted the team to Sin that movie, because it's the most fucking awesome that is also insanely sinnable. So I was really happy when the vid came out. I actually even had several sins that Jeremy/Chris didn't point out. [lol]

Worse part about the Prince being 10 when he was cursed is the implied moral of "Kids, you should totally let weirdoes in your home"

Kids won't catch that, as his age reveal is in a quick throwaway line and done in a roundabout way. I didn't even know he was 10 when cursed until a couple years ago.

Still screwed up, though.

She's just described as an Enchanteress, never as a faerie.

I'm not entirely convinced that the prince being ten when he's cursed was even intentional on the writers' part so much as it was probably an accidental byproduct of Writers Cannot Do Math. The portrait the Beast trashes has the Prince look about the same age as he does toward the end. Most likely the writers didn't think through the implications about the Prince's age. A lot of the movie's scope and timeline is very wonky if you think about it, so I'd say it fits.

The wording's vague enough that "his 21st year" could mean his 21st year since being cursed.

But that doesn't gel with Lumiere saying they've been cursed for ten long years.

Oh, I am damn sure it's not intentional. The stained glass has him as an adult. The portrait you mention, the lack of parents.

IIRC, one of the direct to video Sequels even has the scene where he was cursed and he's an adult.

It is however a hilarious plot hole, much the same way "Who is Nala's dad?" is for the Lion King.

"We've been cursed ten long years."

"It's been twenty-one years."

"Really? Wow. Okay, so the time we've been cursed has actually gone by pretty quick. We'd still like to end it, though."

[up] "Who's Nala's dad?" isn't a plot hole, it's just that the obvious answer is something you can't really talk about in a Disney movie.

Considering how lion prides normally work Mufasa is probably the father of every cub in the place. Sarabi is just the highest-ranking lioness and thus his favorite, but you can't advocate animal polygamy in a kid's movie, even if that movie is using Hamlet as base material.

I think what bothers people is not the polygamy, but that Simba is romantically involved with his half-sister (or cousin, if Scar is her father).
