Okay, Phillip's gone, now Shang can go
Eric is a really, really sweet guy, He treats women with respect and wants them to enjoy his company, which is absolutely adorable! Prince also seems to be the nice and gentle type of guy, who can easily make women like him.
My problem with them both is that we don't really see anything feminist related in their actions. All we see them do is woo the princesses and eventually come to their rescue. But being nice to a girl doesn't mean you are feminist friendly. What we at least see in the other princes is that they might have some doubt in the girls, but eventually they come to realize that women are just as capable and strong as the men. With Eric and Prince we don't see such character development. Both Ariel and Snow White are unable to save themselves and requite male assistance. Which I personally see as a cue for Prince and Eric's that women are not as capable as men.
Snow was less capable of standing up for herself than Ariel, however, while she did depend on the dwarfs, she didn't depend on the Prince nor did he do any sort of ultimate fighting on behalf of saving her and all he did was kissing her which he thought was a goodbye kiss. He didn't mean it as a "I'm a superior male who came to rescue the damsel".
Also, Eric steering a ship, when he had been with ships ALL his life and stabbing a large target isn't any more impressive than Ariel's rescues. So I don't see how you keep insisting Ariel needs SAVING when Ariel saves Eric's life twice....that means Eric needs saving as well. It doesn't matter how impressive the rescue, but the way its portrayed in the movie. Ariel staying to rescue Eric when debris is falling and things are on fire IS brave.
Also, I've also LOVED Eric to be the only prince to fall for a princes when she's not at her most beautiful, or a creature of grace. Even Flynn starts to fall for Rapunzel in the kingdom when she's being charming, talented, and pretty. Eric starts to truly fall for Ariel (ignoring 'girl with the voice') in the marketplace, when she's dragging him around, ripping puppets off of hands, steering them nearly over a cliff, & blowing pipes in his servants face. He loves that she's so different and weird and unique. And yeah, you think just because Eric is trying to save his true love he thinks she's incapable of doing it herself? ?! Would you do the same? "Well, my boyfriend's being attacked by wolves but I don't want him to feel like I think he's incapable so I'll let him figure his way out of it."
I seriously don't understand how you can pick Eric (and the prince) because 'he thinks she needs a girl to save him' when the same can be said for Aladdin and Flynn as well. And I agree with what maryksand said about the Prince--- he was kissing her goodbye, not to rescue her. And he wasn't searching for her because he thought she couldn't be rescued-- he just wanted to find her.
And getting chalk on yourself while doing a chalk drawing isn't anything outlandish. Sorry, but Ariel was literally acting outside of social norm! I think her conduct was much crazier than Rapunzel's! Rapunzel was just excited, but not outlandish.
Eric and The Prince being voted out so early makes no sense to me, but whatever, not going to argue on the subject anymore, because clearly me and feminism don't sit well together at all, lol
