Is she well-off? Yes.
Does she usually get away with stuff? Hmm, aside from Triton destroying her grotto, she never seems to get punished much.
Debates are fun, eh? XD
If we aren't counting things out of TLM, I don't think Ariel's main motivation was for the sea creatures and humans reuniting. It was about Ariel's wishes, and that Ariel wanted to break Triton's one rule.
Also, Ariel is shown caring a great deal about her beauty. Constantly looking in mirrors, fixing her hair for Eric, and batting her eyes whenever she sees him.
EDIT: (Since you made your comment longer I thought I would respond) I have no problem with Ariel exploring, gathering information and learning new things. I have a problem with it, when Ariel does it on her father's time, blows responsibility, and misses the concert that I assume if we count sequels, was planned for her. It bothers me how Ariel "forgets" about the concert for the billionth time and makes excuses, and then probably doing it again. She rushes home so she doesn't get in trouble, and then doesn't face up to her mistake. Also, it's not just the rude face she gave Sebastian while he was trying to help her. She's constantly turning away and giving snarky looks during the song, and even left in the middle of it.
Also because I hope it doesn't seem rude that I'm not responding to your part about the TLM series, but I haven't seen that show since I was seven and I'm not about to watch every episode. I don't expect you to have seen TLM 3 if you haven't (Though, I assume you have) since it's not cannon and not the main, "TLM" movie/series, and neither things must change our opinions on the subject of Ariel and how she behaves.
EDIT: It was clear that she missed the concert, so she was going to be in trouble. It seems more likely that she'd go home to apologize and accept responsibility for her mistake. Also, why shouldn't she make snarky faces during Under The Sea, where he's basically telling her to forget about her dreams and that her dreams are just a big mistake. Yeah, I'm really going to listen to someone who tells me that. NOT! I'd blow them off and not even listen to them, so I don't blame her.
Debates are fun, eh? XD
I can agree with that; spoiled doesn't always mean bad. I guess my mind sort of links it to snobby and rude. Mostly due in part to characters like Stella from Winx or Regina George from Mean Girls...characters like that. And I usually hate characters like that. That said, when I don't see traits like 'snob' or 'rude' I tend to miss 'spoiled' if that makes any sense. I guess this next thing is all about interpretation; I think pampered and spoiled are two very different things. Ariel is pampered not spoiled. I would say pampered peoples realize all of the good things they have and appreciate them whereas (imo) spoiled people realize they have good things and take those things for granted. Appreciation vs taking for granted is what separates the spoiled from the not-spoiled.
Okay, I can see that one; finding something to complain about when nothing is present to complain of is pretty spoiled. However I think that always wanting more of something is less spoiled and more materialistic. I'm like that--always wanting more I mean--and I don't see myself as spoiled, I do however warn people that I am very materialistic.
Long story short for me it's about the attitude; taking things for granted, bragging about your possessions, and always finding something to complain about is spoiled. Actually owning a lot of material things and appreciating them is not spoiled (it could be materialistic/pampered/something of that nature, but not spoiled).
xP I do love a good debate. Though this is my first one on this spot lol.
Um, the third movie is just as much valid reason as why Ariel is spoiled as your counterpart with the tv series, wherever you find it believable or not. *Shrugs*
Towards your comment edit: But, did she take responsibility? She used every excuse she could come up with as why she blew off responsibility once again. Also whether Ariel disagreed with it or not she should at least listen to when somebody is speaking towards her, instead of acting like a dive and constantly turning your head like you refuse to listen when somebody tries helping you. Apparently spending five minutes of her life hearing something she disagrees with is so much work?
Also, can you please stop saying, "not!" ? Kind of just a pet peeve, but I find it annoying.
@Zanhar1 Where you're coming from makes sense, but I do kind of feel like Ariel takes things for granted. How her father looks out for her, Sebastian's constant support, when her sisters try spending time with her, etc. Ariel either blows them off, or refuses to listen. Ariel is never seen, "bragging" about what she has, but I think she takes advantage of how good she has it (Loving family she says reprimand her, good friends that she blows off, and castle that she wants totally away from) and constantly complains about it.
Oh and first debates yay! *Throws confetti*
*Places party hats upon everyone who commented...everyone*
I don't think she's spoiled because she collected all those things herself. And no one really listens to her except Flounder. And a lot more reasons, like some stuff that was mentioned above. I don't want to write an essay now because I have lots of homework.
*Takes party hat with pride*
@quishy11 Sorry I made my comment before I saw yours. No, lol. Kataralover said: "Ariel doesn't care about beauty like her sisters do." So I mentioned all the times Ariel was seen caring about her looks and beauty, just as much as her sisters did. It never had anything to do with vanity.
Party hard!
You want a party had quishy? *Holds out hat* :3
And anyway, I'm glad you can see where I'm coming from on things. :)
