very well written and discoursed I would like to include a quote of how Frollo’s voice actor described the character ‘Everything he does in a wicked sense is understandable but not excusable.’ (not very relevant to the comment, but it made me think of it)

Critcs: Frollo's character seems unrealistic. 90% of the human population: Hold my beer.

Ah, ah, ah, not so fast, you’ve forgotten about the FOX purchase, now we have “In The Dark Of The Night”

@@LootGoblinGaming When mentioning the details about how he's dark, unless someone looks deeply enough into history at least two of the "criteria" could be used in describing anyone; Hitler for example used religious and genocidal persecution to destroy both the gypsies and Jews, and throughout history there have been multiple people who used religious bigotry for treating others as an "other." The "it's not relatable" argument is merely a surface-level way of dismissing the character

To throw it out there, in the original book Frollo willing took on Quasimodo out of pity and raised him along with his owm little brother. So he didn't start as just a straight out evil guy either. I don't think without it he's unrealistic, but I like that it adds a little to his downfall when his black and white morality vs his own lust tears him apart because he starts as Quasimodo's savior

My thoughts exactly. It’s like no one reads about the Holocaust or the other genocides that have been committed throughout history.

Agree 2000% percent. That argument made no sense to me with everything we know about both people and societies in the past and people today

It's a strawman argument. It's unrealistic because he's so open about his evil. his evil, of it was so open, would be stopped by the people around him. This is exactly why we see less catholic kiddie diddlers now, now we know that's something that can happen, it's in the open, so people are looking for it to stamp it out when they find it. If Frollo just hid his evil a tiny bit more, he'd be perfect.

all you gotta do is turn on a TV and switch to one of those bizarre evangelical channels

To be fair, schafrillas, who this video refers to as an example of this particular argument, didn't in fact say that Frollo was unrealistic in a general sense (as far as I remember. I might of course be wrong.) What Schafrillas meant in his particular video about Frollo, was that Frollo from the Hunchback movie was overly evil in comparison with Frollo from the disney play (And to add to this point, both Frollos are far more evil than the Frollo from the book, who is more of a tragic villain than a purely evil one.) Schafrillas doesn't seem to like the trope of particularly evil villains all that much unless they're very very camp. Frollo on the other hand is played very seriously, like, well, a real person. And that's fine, it's his preference after all. In that sense, having Frollo from the PLAY be more of a realistic portrayal of both a good person and a deeply deeply flawed one, eventually turning him to the path of evil, seems to resonate more with Schafrillas, because it's more "interesting" as far as character arcs go. Again, that's really just up for preference, but it certainly has merit as far as arguments go. I don't think I've ever actually heard a person say that Frollo's general attitude and behavior in the movie is unrealistic in a broader sense. Yes, absolutely, people like Frollo have existed and continue to exist to this day. (I find it quite odd that the simple fact that there is a freaking book written by Victor Hugo with the literal character in it, is almost always ignored by most reviewers. Wouldn't that be the first logical choice for a comparison in characters? The book does a fantastic job at describing HOW Frollo became the way he is in the plot.) However, realistic or not, the real debate is whether or not you feel like villains that go for a "realistic" angle should also be portrayed as wholly evil, which is what Frollo in the movie certainly is. Not because of the angle of realism, but because of what a person sees as quality story-writing. Some people like "relatable" villains for instance, whereas others like campy over the top villainy. Both are equally great in my opinion, and I enjoy them both in their own way.

The chanting was the confession prayer.

It's dark because it is true.

@@grongllgaming5744 exactly. Even though Frollo is fiction, people just like him have existed in real life, and STILL ARE existing today.

The religious chanting? I'm pretty sure thats a prayer in latin lol

@@shrimpshufflr7745 It is the ‘I Confess.’

When I heard that, I almost spat out my tea. To me, he's a conglomerate of any/all causes of religious trauma in a single individual which I genuinely believe was the intent. His hypocrisy, the way he treats women, the way he treats minorities, and then justifies it through a twisting of religion is literally happening in modern times as we speak. Even if he wasn't "realistic" as an individual, the people who say that as a genuine critique are only looking for surface level characterization as opposed to what he is supposed to represent as a whole.

It’s like people never heard to the crusades and the genocide that crusaders did.

Frollo makes my skin crawl for the very reason that he is realistic. Serial killers, abusive spouses, clergy members who assault their congrigates, cult leaders, misogynists, incels, etc, etc. All these people are real and dangerous! That's who frollo is! He's the evil that lives next door.

@@Pysnpai Or even the reason for the first crusade (Muslims conquering everything).

Anyone who thinks Frollo is unrealistic has never cracked open a history book.

OMG I just realised that's why they didn't end up together thank you

This is also why it was extremely important that he survive the end of the film (unlike in the novel). Because it was important to show this part of Quasimodo's character and the ultimate result of his respect for Esmeralda's choices. And it's not like she has to stop being his friend just because she hooks up with Phoebus.

It always kind of bugged me before, but now that you say it, I see it

@@LegendStormcrow Well to expand on it. From Esmerelda’s side she didn’t love Quasi because she was selfless. All the nice things he did was to help her while all the nice things Phoebus did was to help others so she was more drawn to him. You could see that when Quasi and Phoebus were alone he didn’t want to help the gypsies just Esmerelda.

Well... it is love, just not romantic love. Quasimodo feels a sort of platonic love for Esmerelda. Obviously, this is amplified by the fact that she's on an incredibly short list of people who have ever been nice to him, which is why he confuses it for romantic love.

to me what makes Frollo work over the movie he had moments to really redeemed himself but never did when he saw Quasimodo being treated poorly and made a fool out of by the towns people he had a moment to step in and stop it but wanted to teach him a lesson and a moment that i think was important from the start when He was giving to Quasimodo as a way to help make him a better person he had a moment to give him to a farmer or a fishermen family but wanted to hide the child as well as admitting he be of some use to him showing how in real life people have moments to redeemed themeselfs but always avoid it or see the other ways of what they think is right

Frollo had two chances at redemption, IMO. The first came when he received the care of Quasimodo. He could have learned love and kindness and humanity from that experience. He didn't. The other came when he met Esmeralda. He could have accepted that he was human, fallible, and imperfect. He sought to destroy her instead. Both chances to find salvation passed unused... so while Frollo's body fell over 100 feet, his soul fell much farther.

In the book it was even worse. He was a normal well intended priest that got mad gradually by life and people.

@@MouAresounTaPneusta that's even more understandable

@@fireflymiesumae in the book He adopts Quasimodo when someone abandoned him

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope everything's okay now

There have been many young woman and girls who where victims of harassment and abuse. For example, remember Larry Nassar? He was a doctor sexually harrassed and abused hundreds of women.

@@4shame What about Jeffery Epstein and R. Kelly? They both where well known people who abused woman. And there all those police officer who used their power to kill people.

@@4shame thanks 4shame, yes everything is fine now it was a 3 year ordeal but thankfully not my reality anymore.

I of course know that many women are victims of sexual and physical abuse and that is obviously awful but it happens to men too. The fact that it isn't talked about nearly as much just shows the extreme double standards of our society. Keep in mind that i am a woman myself. Nobody and i mean NOBODY deserves to be treated in such a way regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, race, religion or any other differentiating factor.

The film is filled with great subtly like that

Yes, and that is textbook narcissism. He is an incredibly realistic narcissist!

@@4shamethe Hunchback of Notre Dame is my second favourite Disney film next to Mulan.

I've seen from a KZfaq comment that "using the Lord's name in vain" is actually people doing terrible things in the name of God, not actually saying Oh My God and all that stuff.

I remember seeing a comment in another analysis video that the light and color choice was essentially a representation of heaven/hell and that the bright blue light behind the guard was essentially a representation of the heavenly aid Frollo had asked for. The fact that as mentioned in the video Frollo gets the help and chance to move on but "doubles down" as he replies; "I'll find her, I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris" rather than ignore it and move onto something else

We see Frollo come within inches of self-awareness and a tipping point where he is able to see himself for what he is and actually become a better person... And then we watch his pride drag him away from the light and destroy him utterly. This song is not merely a condemnation of Frollo. It is a condemnation of the sin of pride, and a demonstration of how it can crush any good that might be in a person utterly, until all that remains is evil.

@@nevaehhamilton3493 That makes a helluva lot more goddamn sense.

I am furiously down bad for that gypsy chick

100% agree. A character being 3 dimensional simply means they are fleshed out -- every motivation of theirs has a reason and depth behind it. That depth doesn't have to involve a tragic backstory or some sort of pitiful or sympathy-inducing experience. It could simply be something like Frollo's cognitive dissonance and his ability to justify his own actions with a twisted sense of "morality". That is fleshed out, but it doesn't inspire pity. That's totally fine -- we shouldn't feel pity for oppressors in power anyways.

@@dialecticsjunkie7653 characters such as Avatar Aang, Mark Grayson/Invincible and Izuku “Deku” Midoriya come to mind as they are very selfless, compassionate and altruistic people, but in turn that doesn’t negate the fact that that they are 3-Dimensional characters.

I plan on writing characters when I create anime. I want to create characters that are 3 dimensional and realistic. I have so many stories and character ideas the first villain I thought has a tragic stories and the second but that helps them with their motivation. I’m trying to write a villain with no tragic background but complex. I hope I do a good job. Frollo is an inspiration from that

I absolutely agree. I think the danger to with abusers like Frollo isbthey really do view their actions as justified, ESPECIALLY if they have a hard backstory, and if they can't justify it they play victim just like how Frollo blames literally everyone else even though HE'S the one who needs to take responsibility.

I think it's his lack of a tragic backstory that makes him so good as a villain. He's the embodiment of this calculating, gaslighting entitlement we see nowadays. He's gotten just about everything he's ever wanted and been able to do it without question because of his status, so the minute he can't have his way he literally tries to burn everything down.

this movie was a bit uneven but hellfire was a straight up masterpiece. but watch them remake it and make frollo hot the way they sexed Jafar up 🙄

@@seraphik bahahahah i hope that doesn't happen

@@woodlandpricess SEXY FROLLO. I'm calling it now 💀

@@seraphik HAHAHAHA PLEASE NOOOOO

@@seraphik I'm taking the odd bet here. Frollo is cast to a Muppet. I call Miss Piggy.

Thank you! It’s not a perfect translation but it’s enough to get the idea across

@@4shame I don't know if you're aware of this but here in YT you can find concept art videos for "Bells of Notre Dame" and "Hellfire" In first video Frollo looks scary (Like, HELLA scary!) but during the Hellfire he looks kinda pitiful and scared. My best guess is that this scene was originally suppouse to show us that behind his stone- cold demeanor and dark robes, there is just old scared desperate man in brick madness. But as we all know, they changed Frollo little bit more stone faced and less cartooney in the end.

People think pure evil means "evil for the sake of evil". Just because villains think they're the good guy or believe what they're doing is right, doesn't mean they are sympathetic nor redeemable. Examples: Lex Luthor. From his point of Clark Kent/Superman is the bad guy and Lex Luthor is unsympathetic has no redeeming qualities because of he his a narcissistic sociopath with a massive ego. Norman Osborn/Green Goblin: From his point of view Peter Parker/Spider-Man is the bad guy and Norman Osborn/Green Goblin is unsympathetic has no redeeming qualities because of he his a narcissistic sociopath with a massive ego. Judge Claude Frollo: From is point of view Esmeralda, gypsies and anyone who opposes him are the bad guys and Judge Claude Frollo is racist unsympathetic has no redeeming qualities because of he his a narcissistic sociopath with a massive ego. Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious: From his point of view the Jedi, Republic and the Rebel Alliances are the bad guys and Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious is unsympathetic has no redeeming qualities because of he his a narcissistic sociopath with a massive ego. Palpatine/Sidious even says "Good Is From A Point of View" in Revenge of The Sith. Doctor Doom: From his point of view the Fantastic Four are the bad guy and Doctor Doom is unsympathetic has no redeeming qualities because of he his a narcissistic sociopath with a massive ego. Darkseid: From his point of view humans are the bad guys and Darkseid is unsympathetic has no redeeming qualities because of he his a narcissistic sociopath with a massive ego. Apocalypse: From his point of view The X-Men and humans are the bad guys and Apocalypse is unsympathetic has no redeeming qualities because of he his a narcissistic sociopath with a massive ego, unlike Magneto. People who are pure evil exist. I.E. Adolf Hitler, Richard Nixon, Saddam Hussein and Josef Stalin have no redeeming qualities what so ever. Pure Evil does not mean they are evil for the sake of being evil. Just because a villain thinks they are the good guy doesn’t mean they are tragic, sympathetic nor does it mean they have redeemed qualities. Some people are just selfish narcissistic sociopaths with a massive ego.

And the thing with villains like this is - they're rare, as humans go. I would argue rarer than heroes. But, where such villains exist, their impact is disproportionate. But because they're rare, it's easy for a lot of people to go their whole lives without a single personal encounter of a villain like that. Hence them judging such people as "unrealistic" - as in, I don't know anyone like that personally, therefore they must not exist. FYI, villains who don't make good storybook villains (i.e. Hans from Frozen) are also a real type of person, and often they're glossed over in a similar fashion (except with Hans types, it's easier to focus on the "good" they do because they have much better veneers than the Frollos and Jafars of the world - and yes, I definitely think they dropped the ball on Jafar with the remake, there were much better directions they could go with a man who has the power to hypnotize a sultan and force him to pass whatever law he wants).

You have a very good point. Just because you are religious doesn't mean you are unable to do terrible things.

@@lsmmoore1 He's unrealistic not because he commits evil, but because it's too open. Evil either hides or masks itself more as good, apologizing and making arguments for how their evil is actually good. We see this from everyone, progressives do it, conservatives do it, but no one is open about their evil because it gets crushed to easily that way.

@@SeanWinters Some of those folks are open about their evil, though, especially in the more authoritarian circles. And the circle depicted in that movie is one where the ordinary people could do little about it, so someone like Frollo doesn't have to hide as much.

This Berlin version is FAR Superior. What the American Version SHOULD HAVE BEEN. Damn shame Patrick Page's talent was wasted. THIS IS THE FROLLO HE SHOULD HAVE PLAYED! THE AMERICAN VERSION IS AN OVERRATED PIECE OF CRAP! Schafrillas is an idiot who has no idea what he's talking about. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrZolrBntrjPcWg.html

His biological mother abandoned him, but his adoptive mother outran a horseback rider barefoot in the snow trying to protect him.

Quasi is white So? Is he?

In the stage adaptation (which is closer to the book) Quasimodo is the result of Frollo’s brother’s entanglement with a Romani girl, which would make him half Romani.

Lot of suppositions here...

@@daman7805 I saw that stage adaptation, it was amazing

Definitely! In a way that's what makes him so frightening: there's humanity left inside of him but he turns away from it

I think Frollo, on some level, knows that what he’s doing is wrong, but is too prideful to admit it. He seems to know that his lust for Esmeralda is wrong, but rather than admitting it, he’d rather destroy her or make her his own. He’d rather deny or give into his lust, rather than admit to it, due to his pride.

@@speedracer2008 Absolutely! I'm honestly of the mindset that pride causes most evil actions and also prevents people from turning over a new leaf

@@4shame Yeah. Pride was a key reason for Frollo being so evil. He was so convinced of the righteousness of his actions that he didn’t stop to think about what he was doing.

Plus his immediate next line, "God have mercy on me." Frollo is appealing to God, for the last time in his life, for mercy upon his soul, as, he is implied to realize, his future actions, discarding his religious self-righteousness to indulge in his sexual obsession for Esmeralda, will damn him to literal hellfire.

Him and Scar's (Lion King) personality (obviously he's a talking lion). People will definitely step on and destroy others to achieve their own ends, especially in lusts for power.

And mother gothel

It would of been quite interesting if there were some parts where that wasn't the case with her clothing

Quick question why does everyone seem to think in this comment section that religion is a super dark topic? I maybe looking too much into it but it just makes me wonder

@@conneraldeqn9751 Because discussing religion is a controversial topic. Especially in a historical context! People have committed heinous acts through out history e.g Taliban, Crusades in the name of religion.

@@ChattinBoxingWYB yeah true. I still hope though that they view religion today as not a dark thing despite the bad things that happened in the past

@@conneraldeqn9751 Religion is viewed today as very dark, very dark, a thing that ranges from neutral to evil, never good, at most it is inconsequential at worst it is pure evil. Take in to account that with religion i mean all and any religion not specifically christianity, religions in general are seen as overall bad stuff today. The problem is that they promise an afterlife for righteouness and that is bad, because all people fancy themselves as righteouss in practically all situations, specially bad people, and this only gives them an excuse to act on their evils and to drag other people in to it if they are charismatic enough.

@@conneraldeqn9751 but the problem is that there's still people using religion for dark deeds so it's still that way just feels less so than before

I think I get what you mean. Everyone has the ability or desire to do evil things. And of course Claude isn’t a one dimensional character, he’s a complex human just like anyone else. From my own view of the character I look at his life as something of a tragedy, much like his actor does. I’ve always felt that Frollo is a product of his repressed and fanatical time period and perhaps if he had a better understanding of his own feelings he wouldn’t have ended up the way he did

Definitely.

@@AbrasiousProductions You can get help with that, seek out and find a psychotherapist that works for you. One of the best decisions in life for me, changes a life, with time and work

I think unfortunately, though, that more often than not the ones preaching about "self discipline/responsibility" *are* the same sanctimonious people who try to justify their inhumanity under the guise of morality. "What's that? Can't pay your astronomically high medical bills? Well, forget about us voting to pass universal health care, you shouldda been more responsible with your health." "You say you ended up pregnant and now you can't afford to raise your child in a good environment? Well, don't expect *our* help, you made the mistake, so you deal with it." Well, it sucks that you're addicted to drugs and need help, but after all no one else *forced* you to try them in the first place, did they?" Labeling people as "lazy" or "irresponsible" is just their way of justifying their coldness and lack of compassion towards people in need of real help. It's not their responsibility so they get to wash their hands of any moralistic obligation they might otherwise feel towards others, an "every man for himself" mentality. Maybe some of them even believe they *are* helping others learn responsibility this way, but it just comes off to me as needlessly heartless. If Frollo was real and alive today I'm sure he'd be telling the poor, the homeless, the hungry, and the struggling families to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and chalking up their misfortune up to their own personal failings rather than admitting that sometimes, through no fault of their own, people just suffer from circumstances brought on by bad luck or systemic injustice. The guy who can't pay his medical bills? Maybe he simply had a genetic condition. The woman who got pregnant? Maybe her husband died suddenly. The drug addict? Maybe they were in an accident and got hooked on the pain pills. There are so many X factors and unfairly rigged systems at play that the "personal responsibility" crowd never considers, but also we're all just *human,* and humans are far from perfect beings. So now when I hear someone touting the "personal responsibility" sentiment I tend to be wary of *why* they're saying it. Just to be clear I *do* think people should be responsible to the best of their ability, especially when it's an internal conflict like the "don't be a creepy stalker" conflict Frollo wrestles with (lol), but I also believe in kindness and simple decency towards our fellow human beings, and that maybe our lives shouldn't be completely ruined nor should our characters be condemned for a few little mistakes that we might've been able to overcome if someone had only given us a helping hand.

It’s important to note that Quasimodo, Phoebus, and Esmeralda were all sincere in trying to be better people.

This ain't a newer Kearns this been going on before social media before the internet people were like that even the biblical times too as long as people existed that's been this is nothing new

That’s very true. I forget who said it, but it speaks to your point: “To empathize with a monster is to admit there’s a bit of a monster in you.”

@@4shame indeed, it’s a good thing too. to realize how much of a monster you can actually be. i mean we could all do some real damage without even realizing it so it’s so important to constantly check yourself

@@4shame Another quote that come to mind is “In the moment when I truly understand my enemy…then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves.”- Ender’s Game

I’ll have to check it out. I’ve never heard of that one before

I LOVE IT

For sure! Also it's funny you mention Atlantis because this week's video will actually be about that movie!

Take a look at *Pinocchio* (1940) again if you want to see something dark.

It’s my favorite scene in the whole movie

@@4shame For me, Frollo’s best scene is when he’s with Quasimodo, interrogating him on Esmeralda’s whereabouts. It really establishes how Frollo’s character has deteriorated over the course of the film. At first, Frollo was someone who, while evil, maintained his composure, and, despite having a rage concealed inside him, he mostly kept in check for the sake of civility, such as when the Archdeacon stops him from forcing Esmeralda to leave. In this scene, though, we see Frollo’s anger fully bubbling up to the surface. Before this, we see him lose his temper with the guard, after he tells him that Esmeralda has escaped, but here we see him fully unleash, once he realizes the truth about Quasimodo’s role in Esmeralda’s escape. He smashes objects in anger, verbally and physically abuses Quasimodo, and lets his full hatred of the Romani people be known. It’s the first time we see Frollo’s calm and composed demeanor fully break away to reveal how monstrous he really is. It’s terrifying, but well-animated and acted, at the same time.

@@speedracer2008 In that scene when he says “Think boy, think of your mother!” It runs makes my blood run cold every time. And I definitely agree that the whole scene is a fantastic way to show that he’s losing his mind

@@4shame Yeah. It definitely establishes how Frollo’s obsession has transformed him.

I would also argue that the scene where Frollo confronts Quasimodo about Esmeralda’s whereabouts also gives Frollo a chance at redemption, because Quasimodo tries to tell Frollo that Esmeralda was kind to him, not cruel, like Frollo said the outside world was. In a sense, Quasimodo is playing the role of Frollo’s conscience, telling him that persecution of the Romani people is wrong and that Esmeralda didn’t deserve it. But Frollo, blinded by his racism, refuses to accept that his hatred is unwarranted and forces Quasimodo to see things his way. This represents Frollo trying to convince himself that his racism is justified, when it’s clear that it isn’t.

And then they never did anything like it again lol

Actually the Confiteor is still prayed in Mass today. It's prayed right at the very beginning of the liturgy. Asking God for mercy, but the miraculous thing, right after is the Gloria (save during Advent and Lenten fasting seasons), praising God's great glory. We are forgiven.

"Confiteor" is Latin for "I confess". In the catholic mass we say at the beginning: "I confess to the Almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned through my thoughts and my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do" (in Latin "Confiteor Deo omnipotenti et vobis, fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, opere, et omissione").

Thats quite f-ed up.

'Frollophlies'?😂

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it

Those people are idiots. Frollo in the Disney movie isn’t one dimensional. Frollo from his point of view believes he his the good guy. He’s a prime example just because the villain thinks he’s the good guy doesn’t mean you have to make him sympathetic or pussify them. Frollo in the book is a joke because often (Not always) when you make a villain sympathetic it turns them into a pussy. Also the Victor Hugo novel sucked. It was fucking boring, Esmeralda and Quasimodo are not likeable characters so when they died I didn’t shed a tear. Also Frollo in the book was a pussy. Also Pierre Gringoire got on my nerves. Yes, I like the Gargoyles in the movie and Dory from Finding Nemo is insufferable. There I fucking said. The writing in the book and was terrible and the pacing was WAY too slow and the book was incredibly pretentious. Plus Frollo is WAY scarier as a Judge, because Priests have no power. Also the whole evil priest thing has been done to death.

@@MovieEnforcer It's abnormal behavior at it's finest and Frollo uses reverse psychology with Quasimodo to keep him isolated, and yes, having him be a judge does make him scarier because it puts literal and more power in his hands. Also, a character being sympathetic doesn't really make them a pussy. It depends on the circumstances of why we need to be sympathetic towards the character. Look at Ramses in The Prince of Egypt for example. When Moses returns, Ramses wants things to be the way they once were, but is heartbroken when Moses returns to be his enemy and not his brother. Plus, he's brought up through the psychology that was hammered in by his father. He stands against Moses and doesn't release the slaves cause he doesn't wanna be the weak link, (despite he does end up becoming), and protect the dynasty. It's not till Moses takes everything from Ramses does he finally cave and become broken, and swear vengeance. That's a character that we can legitimately feel sorry for and understand.

@@marshallburlew7549 I normally don’t like sympathetic villains in general. Are there exceptions? Of course. Itatch Uchia, Darth Vader in Return of The Jedi, Magneto, Sinestro, Mr. Freeze (Excluding Batman & Robin), Penguin in Batman Returns and Two-Face (Excluding Batman Forever). But those are sympathetic villains done right.

SJWS are the worst.

Because people got sensitive
