Now back to the characters: you guys remember Gaston? Of course you do! he is the most awesome thing in the entire movie. He makes B&TB, a already great movie even better.
When he gathers up the villagers to kill the beast (and singing while doing so), Gaston finds him him-self and thus begins the final battle Gaston vs The Beast. Naturally, the beast wins because he's a protagonist and Disney protagonists aren't allowed to die for more than a minute.
Anyway, Gaston dies like 70% of all villains ever do: Falls off a great height to his 'death'. I, myself was disappointed at this. I can't accept the fact that one of the greatest- no, THE greatest Disney villain of all time falls to his death. Gaston's too good for that. So y'know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna prove to you that Gaston did in-fact not die at the end of B&TB and not only did he not die, but he is also the main cause of world destruction!
Now, I will warn you before you continue: This article is tremendously stupid. If you have better things to do with your time I would suggest doing that thing right now.
Still here? okay then. Here goes... something.
As you know, Gaston falls down from the Beasts castle into a gorge... of water. Now knowing Gaston, he would have probably survived the fall into the water because he's just too awesome for that!... drowning I mean. If you remember earlier in the film, While Gaston is proposing to Belle and fails, being flung into a muddy pool. he survived a full 10 seconds submerged while a pig was also on his head. Only Gaston could withstand such punishment.
Joking aside (really think about that for a second), Gaston is a tank of a man. He probably eats falls like that for breakfast. So now Gaston is in this gorge, now swimming in the river and eventually out to sea. there he swims half around the world to Paradise Falls. Yes. Paradise Falls from the 2010 CG animation 'Up'. So you may be thinking 'how can he go there if it's not the right time period?'. Simple answer: Bermuda Triangle.
As you know, the Bermuda Triangle has mysterious powers (Case in point: That really weird X-Files episode where Mulder ends up on a Nazi boat!), so Gaston while swimming through the Bermuda Triangle gets caught up in a storm and gets mysteriously jumped to present day.
So Gaston arrives at Paradise Falls. At this point, even Gaston is getting tired, and so sets camp deep in the rain forest jungles. Just as he gets his breath back he spots a zeppelin in the sky, the very same zeppelin that Charlz Muntz falls out of when another old man tricks him into falling off along with his flying house... see the film.
Gaston catches Charlz while he was foraging for honey in one of the trees. Charlz is so thankful of being saved he dicides to leave his old ways of life and join Gaston in his travels. He and Gaston make their way to the coast again and find a unused dingy to use for themselves. they both sail back into the Bermuda Triangle and end up finding a strange island with odd things about it. one of the things is a a debris of a submarine. Charlz, being the slightly insane old genius that he is has the crazy idea to make the wreak anew again, but instead make it into a shape of a shark. Gaston does not testify to this because he trusts Muntz and everything he says and does.
Now with their new mode of transport they find some victims to make use of their weaponry. after all, the shark-sub comes equipped with razor teeth and a grappling hook. with a stroke of luck, they find a giant air-borne peach, with a crew consisting of a child, several insects and an arachnid. They engage in battle. Charlz greatly under-estimates the power of the flying peach and with some bad choices of attack, the shark-sub is taken out by it's own weaponry. Thankfully, they had an escape-sub prepared and managed to escape with their lives.
Eventually they reach land, where Gaston has an epiphany. He has a vision on an apocalyptic future where the world is covered in water from head-to-toe. Charlz, despite what they had been through together does not believe him and deserts him. Gaston in a fit of confusion and anger, builds a platform made of scrap metal. this platform is the start of a giant water-city where thousands will live.
40 years later, the worlds ice caps are struck and the world is completely submerged. Gaston now rules a water-kingdom. His rule doe not last however, as time catches up with him. he dies of old age.
He then wakes up to see Charlz Muntz. He had revived Gaston as a cyborg: half human, half robot. Now programmed to serve Charlz, Charlz gives him a time device and tells him to go back to a specific date (of which is uncertain) where Gaston must become himself and fall in love with Belle, which will inevitably lead to the exact events which happen in the film Beauty & The Beast, which will lead to Gaston's apparent death where he will swim through the Bermuda Triangle to Paradise Falls where he will inevitably save Charlz Muntz.
So let's recap:
Gaston is and always has been a cyborg due to a loop-hole in time where Charlz Muntz is saved by Gaston, where they build a shark-sub and fight the giant peach where they fail and start a water civilisation where Charlz finds Gaston again to repair him in which the cycle is repeated indefinitely.
You got that?
Good.
