Talk:Prince Eric/@comment-24817476-20140808234814

I actually couldn't care less about Eric because although he has a few cool and heroic scenes in the film, on the whole, he's so boring, shallow, cliche, underdeveloped, looks way older than 18 (about 30) and looks girly, and he seriously lacks real character and lacks background, and there is absolutely no mention of his family (are his parents or grandparents still alive? Does he have any siblings, cousins, aunts, or uncles?) Therefore, for all we know, he has no family before he had Melody. I'm sorry, but Eric is pretty much the same as the princes before him. Ariel, on the other hand, is an extremely developed character and she has so much personality and we know her back-story, and we've seen her entire family. Ariel can do better than lame old Prince Eric. Eric just doesn't do well for Ariel and makes her weak like himself. Anyone agree with me here?
