why Michael doesn’t read as a “parent” to me
(bc it was asked and there are reasons, they exist)
(also please note the “to me” part. this is not some call-out post for those who might have a different interpretation, it is just me explaining mine)
I also have never seen him as a parent, partly because I see him as a demonic Disney heroine.
No, for real. He’s always been different from all the other demons. He tries to fit in, but something inside him keeps telling him there must be more than this provincial life. He knows his home world is stagnating, but nobody will let him sail beyond the reef. He wants to be part of Eleanor’s world. When will the mirror reflect who he really is inside? Not till he either gets out of the bad place or wins enough battles and overcomes enough obstacles to convince people at home that their way of life needs to change.
Only, as the OP explains, he’s crap at all of that because he’s done nothing but torture assholes while working for assholes for all eternity. So he needs a lot more help from his sidekicks than Ariel, Moana, Mulan, and Belle did.
