That would actually be the best possible outcome…
Ooh such edge
But it might give a better message for little girls than “give up your voice for the love of a man and all will be ok”
How is “if you cant have the man you want, kill yourself” a good message?
I think you are supposed to view it more holistically, like “Ariel is pathetic, don’t be like Ariel kids.”

So the message is “stay at home do what your dad says and dont have any dreams”?
What a great hero for kids.
I’d prefer a version where she left her father behind and learnt some ■■■■ from Ursula who was a strong independent Sea Witch who knew what she was about.

You just said you preferred the version where she killed herself, do excuse me if I accuse you of talking ■■■■■■■■.

Edit: okay, it was uncalled for, but flagging it is still petty
I’d rather her tale end tragically than give out a message that giving up everything you are for a guy is the fairytale ending. Not saying the original where she melts into seafoam is perfect.
Your interpretation of her killing herself is a bit off though. She chooses not to kill the prince to spare herself, knowing that it will mean the end for her. It’s more self sacrifice than suicide.
Are you mansplaining the Little Mermaid?

Are you assuming my gender?

So why is killing herself superior to killing him?
(Not withstanding the Disney version is by far the clearest winner because you cant make a fortune on a miserable tale of woe)
You present as male so suck it up or present better
Well like I said, I don’t really see it as killing herself, more not sacrificing someone else to save herself. After all she was the one that inserted herself in the prince’s life. Would you rather she made the bargain with the sea witch to ensnare him, then killed him to save herself then the tale end in a Dostoyevsky esque decent into guilt and madness perhaps?
So because I present masculine I must be male?
My daughter watch the disney version? Yes.
She doesn’t kill him in the Disney version.
Your presenting as male. You even did so specifically in a thread entitled “Is your character gender your gender” or some ■■■■■■■■
So you presenting means that assumption is valid based on the evidence you submit
