you HAVE to be on Actors Access !

This was a Really Cool Video for The Descendants Franchise. My Ranking of The Descendants Projects in The Descendants Franchise 1: Descendants 3 2: Descendants 3: Descendants The Rise of Red 4: Descendants Wicked World Season 2 5: Descendants Under The Sea 6: Descendants 2 7: Descendants Wicked World Season 1 8: Descendants Wicked Woods 9: Descendants The Royal Wedding

I don't mind skipping this movie. I'm still struggling with how this fits in the first three since they made it plainly clear that it's canon to the Disney films, with or without sequels, and not another stupid HSM like Zombies is doing.

This video is ICONIC. Or should I say LITERALLY WATCH IT NOW 😂❤

It irritated me so much that castle coming wasn't in the movie like why build up this big event and don't show it. And the prank as well. I was livid that i didn't see the prank

LOVE THIS!! This was so enjoyable to watch with my lunch, I love hearing about the impact these games had on other people in childhood. 🩵

What an amazing analysis of the Descendants franchise, especially for Rise of red! One of my main quarrels with D4 was, why didn't they mention the other younger VKs (like Dizzy, Celia) and or had a small cameo to tie them with this movie? Missed opportunity of showing more continuity between the 3rd and the 4th film.

The smoking Gun is Chloe's wig, that reeks of reshoots

No flame, just Jay never had any sexism against Lonny/Lonnie (Mulan's daughter) being good at swordfighting. Jay had no opinions other than "that's awesome"! It was Chad who told Jay that it was specified in the rule book that the team should consist of a Captain and 7/8 boys/men (I forgot) and "we don't break the rules here in Auradon". At the end of the movie Jay came up with an idea to circumvent the rule : Lonny/Lonnie is "Captain" + the other guys - so he don't break the rules cuz the rules book just said "Captain", he managed to get Lonnie in AND keep up to "Auradon standards" P.S Jay comes from the Isle where everyone of every age fights for survival and dominance, makes no sense that he would have notions of girls = weak. P.P.S While it wasn't shown I'm sure Evie and Mal can fight, you can't tell me Mal and Uma never had fistfights 😅

If they meant for Chloe to have one hairstyle throughout then they could have just given her the same wig

i still don't understand why they got Ursula's sister to be the bad guy and not just Ursula herself

gay

It wasn't a flop girl, you need to learn how is the definition of a flop sorry to break it to y'all

46:02 i do think cinderella does have some parental issues probably with favoritism (like the favoritism her step-mom had towards her step-sisters) as she seems to favor Chloe over Chad a lot and that could be why Chad is a bully from lack of attention growing up

Oh my stars thank you for this video. Red's vague characterization was bothering me but I also didn't realize that she doesn't change as a character. She has no real character arc

The themes are about drugs the cupcakes are euphemism for drugs and when euliana tried too many she became a had a bad trip (turning into an flaminco faced octupus human) and the reason the queen of hearts was still so insane because she never came back from the trip when they spiked the cupcake as a prank (the cursed cupcake that turned her into an ogre). This is just my opinion why not.

Jesus Loves Us!

1. They add to many characters with the colored hair . 2.they didn’t bring Kenny Ortega back . 3.they music is mid

I was very irritated that they didn't show Castlecoming because they made it such a big deal but it never happened. I love the music but I would never watch that movie twice. It definitely wasn't like the original triology and I will continue to watch them instead. The ending was also very very rushed.

The fact is, Red isn't a vk. Yes she's the child of a villain in a disney movie, but her mum hasn't been rounded up with everyone else and put on an island and forcibly been impovrished which was the huge ass thing in the first three movies. She has lived a life of royalty and privilege. That really differenciates her from the rest of the children of villains

So this might be dumb but did descendants 4 break the idea of the first movie since the villains already went in the Merlin academy to do something bad when the barrier should have been made

I wish that Disney make descendants 4 2 hours long movie

another huge plot hole is that Ulianna was never actually capable of doing the prank in the first place. If Red and Chloe hadn't been there, Ulianna would have still been frozen by the book and be caught by Merlin. So technically speaking, they never changed anything, so why does the queen of hearts change at all?

Did they address how Uliana was able to open the cookbook in the original timeline?

This analysis is awesome!!! Thank you for putting into words what was so weird and disappointing and bad about this movie 😂😂😂

I just really hope the Director, Writers, and Producer actually listen to all the critics and feedback about the movie to make the next one better. At the very least, I hope they get someone on the team that actually understands how to make and incorporate musical numbers into a movie.

Your critiques on RoR are exactly what I've been thinking. I was hoping the movie would still be good despite having a brand new creative team that never worked on anything Descendants related prior to this, but I feel pretty disappointed in the weak writing and all the potential they had with characters like Red and Chloe and the Wonderland setting.

Wait... it-- they did this twice! I completely forgot about "How To Build A Better Boy" its this movie but worse.

i was obsessed w this movie as a kid!

Smart House was a good one, too!

Wait hold on what happened to the new characters they introduced in the 3rd film. Dr Faciliers daughter & Lady Tremaine’s granddaughter

Can we talk about how this franchise barely gives any screen time to the male characters. I know Disney Channel focuses on mostly female leads, but it’s very noticeable in the descendants movies. The Guys are an afterthought & are there to fill a quota.

I get merchandise & costumes for children but the colorful hair & outfits looks super tacky & cartoony to me. Mal is the worst character in this franchise. She is so frustrating in each film. Lying about permanently closing the barrier was the dumbest decision. She being the new queen could’ve literally just made the barrier disappear 🫠 Also can we talk about how Audrey never got reprimanded for her actions? She literally caused so much harm to the citizens of Aurodon. I get she was hurt but I hate how she got away with bad behavior while Hades got escorted by the guards by literally saving her life. 🙄🙄 This franchise irks me so much lol.

I think they should have made it a series so they could spread everything out. We can see character developments, storylines that contradict the first 3 movies and important things that kept getting thrown in our face every scene but they completing skipped over like it wasnt repeated every 5minutes *Castlecoming*

Yes, yes, and yes!! I couldn’t agree more! Some critiques I have for the movie have to do with the costuming, besides the poorly down and inconsistent wigs the outfits are painfully bright and monochromatic. In the past VK’s would have 2 or 3 colors in their outfits that where more dark or desaturated (Mal was purple and green, Evie was black and blue, Carlos was black, white, and red, etc.) Red’s color scheme was aggressively red when it should have been red, black, and yellow like the animated Queen of Hearts was. Speaking of, whenever they showed the iconic villains they usually looked similar in their design to their animated counterparts (except for Hades for some reason), something they didn’t follow through with on the Queen of Hearts. Her first outfit should have been similar to her animated one, then when she changes it later they could take more creative liberties with it. Also, where was Red’s dad? The Queen of Hearts is one of the few Disney Villains with a canonical husband and he wasn’t even mentioned! Another thing I think they should have done differently is the bully group. Uliana and Morgie don’t make any sense and just confuse the audience. Maleficent and Hades should have been the lead villains (Maleficent may have been insecure but that can manifest in a variety of ways including bullying and she already has cursed entire realms) with Hook, Anastasia, and Drizella as their followers. Having Anastasia and Drizella there would have helped tie in the Cinderella connections and having Maleficent and Hades take on a bigger role would have made more sense for their characters. They were essentially background actors in the movie! Oh and Morgie’s character is so confusing especially for the general audience who wouldn’t know who Morgana Le Fey is! Heck I didn’t even know when I first watched it because he introduced himself as “Son of Morgana, Serpentine” but without looking up the lyrics you’d think his mother’s name was Morgana Serpentine! If they wanted a child of the enemy of Merlin they should have gone with Mad Madame Mim! Morgana only appears in Sofia the First! And they already had a villain named Morgana who is the little sister of Ursula! I don’t get why they created Uliana, she should have been either Ursula or Morgana or not there at all! I also think having Uma go into the past with them would have helped especially since they so heavily marketed Uma’s return in this movie. Having her go to the past with them would have helped round out the main group and give them a more experienced and grounded character to help guide the new gen of characters. Anyways, I think those are the main issues I have with the movie. Thanks for making this video!

I didn't even think about the themes, but you're so right. They're very poorly handled. In general the movie lacks focus on what it wants to be about. The fact that this castle festival wasn't in the movie is wild. If I were the change the plot, this is what I would do: Add 30 more minutes to the movie first. After Red and Chloe get the book, they look into the looking glass to make sure everything is better, but its not. So they go to the festival, thinking Uliana must be doing a different prank, but then find out that it was Elle the whole time who pranks Brigette. Elle could maybe see Brigette and Charming together, misunderstanding that there is something going on between them. Red and Chloe stop her before the worst can happen and finally prevent the bad future. This 1. would have prevented the plot hole of Uliana and gang being frozen by the book so how would they have gotten the book originally. 2. Would have completed Elle's chekhow gun's gray morality. 3. Would have tied together the theme of there is good and bad in everyone, good people can become bad, bad people can become good. 4. It would force Chloe to reevaluate everything she knew and give her an interesting set up for the next movie that is less shallow than "I guess sometimes good people can steal" 5. Red and Chloe would have gotten that deep talk with their mothers that not only would have strengthen the relationship dynamics but also their own character arcs Edit: Elle being the one who does the prank would also explain why Brigette is so fixated on making Elle suffer specifically. Like yeah, Elle is her friend and there it's alluded to that Elle didn't help when the prank happened, but thats such a throw away line and was never elaborated on that it just feels half baked. If Uliana was the one to do the prank it would have felt more appropiate for Brigette to focus more on Uma as Uliana's niece. Like the whole dynamic between Elle and Brigette is just so shallow that Elle being the one to do the prank would have helped a lot to give it some depth. I also though about how Elle could have done the prank; By involving the young fairy godmother. Her inability to use the wand correctly was established twice but never played any part in the plot, which is shame cause it's such an obvious set up for some kind of pay off. So Elle could have asked fairy godmother to use her wand to idk give Brigette a pretty dress or something, encouraging fairy godmother that she can do it while fully expecting the magic to backfire and it does, by turning Brigette into a 'monster'. Involving fairy godmother would have also made it more interesting in retrospective how she reacted to Uma's plan to invite Brigette's daughter

the time line is SO confusing to me. the villain kids are supposed to have this general trauma thing where the royals or whatever they’re called are supposed to have been segregating or just like unfair to them for a long time. but really it’s been less than a generation. because mals parents where at the same school as royals. but then got sent to the isle at some point where mal was born and grew up until she was like 16 or something??? and now it’s being framed as undoing a long wrong and unfairness towards the villains but it hasn’t been that long. plus that also means that belle and the beast haven’t been the “main” queen and king for that long, and it just makes the time line SO messy. also why were the villains called “VKs” when maleficent WAS maleficent. that’s not the son of hades, that IS hades. the timeline just makes ZERO sense to me

They messed up the story like how did Fairy God Mother did her magic to Cinderella when they were literally the same age like

Some People : This Movie is A Bippity Boppity Bummer Othter People : Talk about a Bippity Bopity Banger

The fact that more than one of the villains in this franchise had their origin stories centered around petty childhood beef is truly wild

31:10 I cant believe they called her that instead of calling her Morgana, which is the name Ursula's sister had in the little mermaid direct to dvd sequel. shaking my smh these people dont even keep up with disney lore

I also feel like Uliana’s character should’ve just been Ursula because Ursula and Maleficent were supposed to be friends who pitted their daughters against each other anyway

Actually Jay drops out of school (“take a gap year”) to travel the world with Gil, Gaston’s son (I think he fell in love with his fascination of the outside world, Mulan’s daughter wasn’t in the 3rd movie)

I enjoyed it, I loved it, the three past movies are done, stories concluded time for a new chapter of another villain. and I cant wait for another one.

You should read the books because they’ve explained what happens before the movies they are prequels including rise of red

I think this movie is a little more realistic when it comes to mother daughter relationships. Bridget realized that being nice got her nowhere so in order to be respected and not underestimated, she had to be feared, which is something she wanted her own daughter to know early on (mothers raising daughters based on their own mistakes and fears). Red rebelled against her mother because she did not want to be like her, just something teen daughters do, and she had moments like sentencing Ella because she was taught not to be underestimated. I think all the movies follow the theme that good and bad isn’t absolute, and that despite trying to be different than her mother, Red displayed both sides of her anyway. Other than the theme aspect, I think the movie was very messy and that they’re definitely gonna clear everything up in the 5th movie- I bet they didn’t think those of us that watched in 2015 and are grown now were still gonna tune in 😂

I was really hoping it was going to be the "good guys" that bullied her and that she was going to have beef with Cinderella because she didn't stop it from happening/stand up for her but I kind of lost that hope as soon as they introduced the over the top villain squad. I am also so confused about why it's Ursula's sister? Like no one else gets that treatment. Why couldn't it just be Ursula?

How did an Asian man and a black woman have a white son? Is Chad adopted? If so, that's fine, it just makes me laugh.

Hey can anyone explain like how Umas the new headmistress? Like I don't remember how far apart this movie was from D3 but I don't think it's enough time for Uma to get a degree or masters or anything thats needed to be a teacher let alone the headmistress.

Something I noticed about Descendants is that every Disney character had only one child each. It's dumb, but I also get it.
