Talk:Frollo VS Gaston/@comment-25182985-20150210210201/@comment-26367254-20150210212711

Here are a few things to consider if it's hard to understand:

1) Frollo is capable of killing and combat - killing Quasimodo's mother with a single kick at the start of the film, and later trying to use a dagger to kill Quasimodo and later a sword to kill both him and Esmeralda. He is capable of fighting, it's just not as evident as with someone like Gaston.

2) Frollo is exceptionally cunning and deceiving, even moreso than Gaston. Hence how he managed to locate the Court of Miracles just by telling Quasimodo it was under threat. At the time, Frollo didn't know where it was, but simply used Quasimodo to locate it. He also manipulated multiple thugs to pose as his soldiers, which is quite something.

3) Much like Beauty and the Beast shows and as it says in the analysis, Gaston's biggest weakness is pretty much Gaston himself. As shown with the Beast fight, Gaston gets incredibly cocky and reckless when he gets enough of a lead, practically taunting his opponent. Someone like the Beast wouldn't take advantage of that, someone like Frollo would.

Was I rooting for Gaston too? Of course. But frankly, in my eyes, he'd just undo his own chances of winning in this case. A shame, but can't win 'em all, huh.
