First, I did not say that Gaston was heroic, I said he was *more* heroic. When you compare Luke Evan's portrayal with the animated version, it seems clear to me that he is supposed to be far more sympathetic. And if we want to cite the actor's own words, he says that he wants people to see Gaston as a character with an arc, who starts off as a good guy and ends up the villain. I'm not comparing this Gaston to the Beast or the platonic ideal of heroism. I'm comparing him to the other Gaston.

Third, I disagree that Gaston was stalking Belle.

Third, I disagree that Gaston was stalking Belle, and would like some evidence that he was. I didn\'t notice him not paying for the flowers when I saw the movie, but I\'ll be sure to check that out on future viewings.
