Better than the film we did get, I'll give you that much. After all, she acted as a perfect foil to Belle for the moral of the tale. Other than crushing on Gaston, how exactly were the Triplets even close to well-done as foils for Belle for the moral of the tale (you know, the entire POINT of being a foil)? They came closer to actually BEING beautiful on the inside and out, especially when they outranked Belle in terms of physical beauty (since they looked like they came straight out of the Dead or Alive franchise), not to mention unlike Gaston, at least in the film, they NEVER demonstrated ANYTHING that would indicate that they had inner ugliness (it's not even clear if they know about the blackmail plan since they weren't even in the room when Maurice burst in). Likewise with Belle, she behaved more like her sisters from the original tale for the first half thanks to Woolverton and Katzenberg demanding for a feminist twist. At least with Marguerite, we'd have an actual foil for Belle for the moral of the tale, a well-done foil at that, and we'd actually HAVE a reason for Gaston wanting Belle, especially when his motives were just poorly done (sorry, but if he wanted the most beautiful woman in the village, he should have gone for the triplets, not Belle.).
