"Why Would Ariel Throw Her Whole Life Away For A Man She Just Met In The Little Mermaid (1989)?"
"Ariel had an entire song about how much she wanted to explore the human world long before she ever laid eyes on Eric. Even after seeing him for the first time and fawning all over him, she never thought about going to see Ursula to get some legs.
The reason she "threw her life away" was because she just watched as her father go into a rage and violently destroy her Human Trinkets collection, something that brought her more joy than anything else. She invested SO MUCH TIME and risked her life to get those things. All that time and effort was destroyed and invalidated by her father in less than a minute.
Sure, Ursula may have framed her whole pitch to Ariel around "you'll get your human man," but Ariel didn't even consider Ursula an option until Triton destroyed her life's work. She no longer felt she could be happy or safe in her father's ocean, so she might as well try to find a life where he can't reach her. Getting a chance to be with Eric was just a nice bonus."
NASA uses that film for initial training of students/future astronauts and so far they have found some 167+ errors in the script.
Look at Russia the first time they wouldnt pay for auto docking at the space station and the pilots crashed into it. Didnt they train for that big time and yet still failed???
So an oilrigger with 14days of training would ace that?
"Armageddon" - yes, NASA/ESA/Russians call in mission specialists, but these are trained over months, not a few days...
It's a mistranslation from the original. It should have been a type of fur, not glass or gold.
Yes, front the French: "Pantoufle de vair", vair was a type of squirrel whose fur was rare and expensive. verre (glass) being an homonym, one can see why they got confused. Personally, I wouldn't want a breakable shoe that could cause a serious hemorrhage if it broke, but that just me.
Penny out here askin the real questions!
What normal person would think to do that in that moment, though?
It isn't just time elapsing. Many times, massive distances were traveled while something else was happening.
For example, how the hell did gendry go send a message to dany across the continent and have her show up in time to save the day in the middle of a battle?
I have no problem suspending my disbelief plenty, but that's just insulting to the viewer.
