From what I remember, the Mirror on the Wall never said she was ugly, just that Snow White was "the fairest of them all," or "the prettiest/most beautiful one of them all." She could have been pretty still, just not the prettiest.

"Hey mirror, isn't that girl like 12?"

Well it didn't say she was the most bangable of them all

How old is that mute chick prince Erik is trying to ~~bang~~ groom?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

16, iirc. Comes up in one of the arguments with her father. To be fair to that movie in particular, the ending wasn't "and then they banged", but more, "at some point, they got married"

still not looking great for him

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't remember if his age was specified, but I gave the movie the benefit of the doubt, not him. Her dad could wipe Erik's entire kingdom off the map if he mistreats her though, so the power dynamic is a little more unbalaced than any age issues, in her favor.

His original voice actor, Christopher Daniel Barnes, was only 16 when he recorded his voice for Eric. The producers decided to cast him because he sounded much older than his actual age.

he's described as a man, not beating the grooming allegations

16 was a man, not so long ago. Thanks for hassling me into almost giving a shit about this cartoon movie that is probably older than you. Real improvement to both our lives, right there.

Mirrors care not for number of revolutions around the sun

Mirrors care not for the number of bars in their cell

"LOVE IS LOVE"- Mirror on the Wall questioned about his prior professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein

Second place is the first loser, as they say

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"Second place gets bottom shelf dick," as my grandmother was fond of saying.

(His grandfather never actually won anything, didn't need to, he just kept his penis on the top shelf in the local bar - he figured out how to win at life)

The mirror says most beautiful/pretty in the original german.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Also, one of the moral points the fairy tale is making, is the fact that the queen is ugly inside.

The mirror also states that she is the most beautiful "here" but that Snow White "beyond the seven mountains" is "a thousand times more beautiful". Really rubbing it in, that mirror.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fair is just an old way of saying beautiful

But not too much fair, just enough, the right amount.

Basically not too hot and not too cool, but just right, like that teenage bears porridge.
