How boring. Was there at least some monsters to fight or an overtly evil usurper to slay? What on earth remains as motivation to watch this movie?
The antagonist is the rapey cultural artifact of forced marriage. Vg vf fynva.
There should be a word for forcing other people to have sex (with each other, not yourself). The connotations of calling a forced arranged marriage 'rapey' should be offensive to the victims. It is grossly unfair to imply that the wife is a 'rapist' just because her husband's father forced his son to marry her for his family's political gain. (Or vice-versa.)
I wasn't specifying who was being rapey. Just that the entire setup was rapey.
That was clear and my reply applies.
(The person to whom the <word that is not rapist> applies is the person who forces the marriage. Rape(y/ist) would also apply if that person was also a participant in the marriage.)
As per my post above, I'd argue that the "rapey cultural artifact of forced marriage" is less of a primary antagonist, and more of a bumbling comic relief character.
Cute rot13. I never would have predicted that in a Pixar animation!
There is an evil monster to fight, of a more literal sort, but it would be a bit of a stretch to call it the primary antagonist.
