History YMMV / BeautyAndTheBeast2012

* CriticalResearchFailure: In the pilot, Vincent, a doctor, enlists in the army and becomes a grunt that joins a program where he's experimented on. As a doctor, he would have been commissioned as an officer. Admittedly, this would have decreased his likelihood of being an experimentee (vs an experimenter). The funny thing is, they could have made him a (para)medic (an enlisted position), and still given him the medical background.

* ReplacementScrappy: Some fans see Gabe as this.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:
** Season two is ''widely'' seen is this.
** Fans of the 1987 show took this view of the updating.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the original series, Vincent's actor underwent a heavy makeup job to look beastly. In this remake, he spends 90% of his time as a gorgeous man with a small scar on one cheek (and even ''that'' disfigurement is gone in Season 2) and the other 10% in a ''slightly'' beastly-looking powered-up form with glowing eyes.
* CriticalDissonance

* GrowingTheBeard: As of season two.

* MoralEventHorizon: Gabe murdering Catherine's friend, Beth, without blinking an eye. This is the same guy who once viewed his beast powers as a curse.

* ReplacementScrappy: Some fans see Gabe as this.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Presently a case of "Female-On-Male Sexual Harassment Is Okay," but Tori's use of her pheromones on Vincent is treated as a non-issue. Catherine doesn't seem to see how ethically repugnant Tori's behavior was, because she's too focused on how much of Vincent's erratic behavior she's been letting slide. Were Tori a Tony and were Vincent a Veronica...

* {{Expy}}: The Beast mutates into a super-strong, overly aggressive monster, a little bit like TheHulk.
** He's also a handsome, brooding superhuman worried that his violent nature will harm the female lead, much like [[{{Literature/Twilight}} Edward Cullen]].
* FollowTheLeader: As stated above, Vincent is a lot like Edward Cullen and this show was likely made to appeal to ''Twilight'' fans.
