This pisses me off so much
First of all, the movie they're asking for where a man gives up everything and it's a happy ending is called Hercules.
Second, Ariel did not give up everything for a man. She ran away from a life that made her unhappy so she could pursue her dream. That dream was NOT to marry Prince Eric, it was to experience the human world, which is something she has been obsessed with for a long time. If you want a girl to settle into what her father expects and not search for a life that makes her happy you disgust me and should stay far away from me.
And as someone who related to her it makes me so mad that people say she "gave up everything for a man" becuase
The amazing magical life you see her life before as is just a normal life for her
It isn't the life she wanted and you thinking she should just be happy shows you don't understand what it's like to truly long for big change. You think people can just choose to be happy. I envy you.
She didn't give up everything for a man, she gave up everything for land and Eric was a part of that fascination. It's a romance movie, what do you expect?
