>>95632239>>95632333I feel like you're being kinda selective with blending real world shit with Disney shit here.
Maurice was never portrayed as being a danger to himself or others in the movie. His stuff exploded, but in a cartoony, black smoke on your face but no other negative effects kind of way. He was just a goofy old guy and within the world the movie presented, it was never implied that he was gonna hurt himself or others or drag Belle down.
Also, I feel like it's an important distinction that Gaston only got a mob together to go kill the beast out of jealousy when he saw Belle loved it and not him.
