Looks terrible other than Emma, who is almost always, absolutely wonderful.
But yeah, it’ll make bank.

Remember a few years back when “Saturday Night Live” parodied the “Joker” trailer with a gritty origin story of Oscar the Grouch? Disney looked at that and thought to themselves “that’s actually not a bad idea.”

And that dissapoints me because I really like Emma Stone but I really hate that more and more movies are trying to make people sympathize with these VILLANS!! by giving them oh so woah is me backstories.

This is going to make Disney a lot of money. Will it? Maybe with some merch but not in box office sales.

Yeah, I think it will. This has a larger name attached to it than Mulan and I think that will help its chances.

So when are we getting the origin film of the wicked stepsisters? Didn't they try and make them sympathetic in one of the D2V movies? Heck, let's have a MVU! Misunderstood Villains Universe! Maleficent can find Cruella at the end of her movie and tell her she became part of a bigger universe (it's not original, but hey, neither are they). Ursula could have been bullied and bodyshamed when she was in the undersea glee club. Captain Hook has a story already with the crocodile and all. Disney could of course find some unneeded complication to add to it. Jafar can use Muhammad Hassan's original character. No one can handle the amount of manhood and sex appeal of Gaston.

Wait, are they actually leaning into her being an unsympathetic villain? Thank Zod. Doesn't appear they're trying to make her anything but a freaking villain. I think Disney are at least smart enough to realize that there's no plausible way of making Cruella sympathetic, unless you reveal her family were mauled by Dalmatians or something. Looks like it's going The Joker "his backstory was sad but that still doesn't excuse his actions" route at the very most.

Anastasia fell in love with a Baker in Cinderella 2. The stepmother was against it, because he was a commoner. They did it again in Cinderella 3. After stealing the Fairy Godmother's wand, the Stepmother went back in time to make the glass slipper fit Anastasia's foot. Anastasia wanted someone to love her for her, rather then because she fit a shoe, and reversed the spell.

Should get WWE on board, they’re great at making people sympathise with the villains.
