Do you think Yzma is a hilarious villain who is motivated by the support from her family? And why do you think Kuzco keeps her around through all of her treasonous activities? Let me know your thoughts below! Thank you for being such an amazing community, thanks for watching, and have a magical day! ✨
Do Dipper and Mabel Pine's Full story next.
Heya there nice video again always getting them high quality background story
thx so much for making this video, and for the pun that you made up describing what kind of a Disney villain Yzma really is at 0:00. That was very awesome of you!!!! Love your vids!!!!!😍😍😍❤❤❤ P.S. I think Yzma is the most funniest Disney villain that ever existed.
I like Yzma's character for sure, she's certainly not as successful as other Disney villains were, not that any really were. Yzma did have what she wanted for a time being though, and it terms of how diabolical she was I'd rank her about the same as Cruela DeVille because she has every intention of murdering Kuzco and taking the empire over, and she shows no remorse for that. She turns on Kronk, sends guards to their deaths, and has no compassion towards the people of the empire (to be fair neither does Kuzco at first), but she does show some slight remorse in the clip where she was explaining her background and her mother so she isn't all bad. I think he keeps her around because she raised him and he does feel some type of love towards her because of that. He doesn't want to banish her and certainly doesn't want to kill her so he keeps her around. She like a sort of twisted aunt to him or something.
I think Kuzco keeps Yzma around just because he's bored.
Another question there could be a video on is why does Kronk keep working for her?
"I never liked your spinach puffs!"
At this point, Yzma went too far.
NEVER!
He really did
That's it, she's going down
Robin Light d
ionryful *GASP* ALL RIGHT THATS IT she is going down
The fact that she practically raised him explained why kuzco was so rotten at first.If we notice in the first film they basically have the same personality.
Yeah, remember when they were ordering at Mud’s? They both wanted to order the same. Both of them also treat people poorly. My ma always says, “The child you put as a king, will one day sit on your head (aka dethroning the parent)”.
Yeah, minus the fierce temper of Yzma
I think Cuzco keeps Yzma around for three reasons:
1. He has a bit of a soft spot for her because she practically raised him.
2. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." (He wants to keep an eye on her.)
3. For comic relief. Because she's hilarious.
Agreed
I also think it’s because he thinks the world resolves around him to some extent. Even if in the movie he “learned” that lesson, in the show he just reverts back to his old ways. I think because of the delusion that nothing bad can happen to him cause the world revolves around him. Seeing as how he constantly wins at everything and always defeats Yzma without even trying, he probably believes she will never succeed
I feel these are good reasons for Kuzco keeping Yzma around!
And I guess he never considered her as an serious thread to his life, maybe he thought "What could this old dinosaur lady ever do to me?".
also access to the secret lab
I'll turn him into a flea. A harmless little flea. And I'll put that flea in a box. And then I'll put that box in another box. Then I'll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives, I'll smash it with a hammer! It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!
*Knocks over the potion, which makes a plant explode*
Or, to save on postage, I'll just poison him with this!
are you the same person I see everywhere but you took out your last name and replaced it with your ethnicity? Or are you an entirely different person?
Grace Wilbourn Same person. Took that part out to keep my identity more private
Tell me why I heard this perfectly in her voice in my head
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
Avery The Cuban-American
Ok bitch, now you have gotten me thinking that I am stalking you and not even knowing it.
If house of mouse was still a thing. Yzma and Dr. Doofenshmirts would be pretty good great friends
Or nemesis... Nemesi? Nemiseses?
But Doofenshmirtz is reformed!
@@ionryful they could still be friends
Dang I miss that show.
Except for the fact that he's no longer a villain
“Pull the lever Kronk!”
*WRONG LEVER!!!*
Why do we even have that level!
bryce linebaugh Um comedy purposes?
Too funny.
Best quote in the entire history of Disney
Maybe Isaac's next video can be about why they even have that lever. 😂
I legit feel really bad for Yzma... I mean she was bullied, pressured by her family, and every single thing she attempted to do failed. Yzma is really hilarious but now that I know her backstory I can see why Kronk stuck with her for many years :(
The way I see it any woman that can turn people into other forms at will deserves to rule. If she can do that then disease curing is peanuts. She was the greatest scientist to ever live. Maybe she deserved the throne more than a teenage man-child...
oooooohhhhhhh burn
Muchhhhh
Squid SQuiddly well she didn’t care about doing that so no she didn’t deserve it .
and there were many moments in the show where it showed she genuinely cared for kronk, and in the second to last episode she gets to be a "good guy". she's comedically evil, but she does have a heart and I sympathize with her to a degree
I think it's pretty simple to deduce the connection between Kuzco and Yzma... she practically raised him and there isn't really any mention of his mother so likely his mother died earlier on, like in childbirth or something, so when the late Emperor died Yzma was basically the only parent Kuzco had. She was the only mother figure he'd ever known.
Just think about it... Kuzco was ready to have Pacha imprisoned for turning him into a llama and kidnapping him and the fact that Pacha didn't like him didn't even bother him. But when he realized Yzma was trying to kill him, that's when he's at his lowest. Because the only mother figure he'd ever known hated him, wanted to kill him, didn't care about him.
At the same time Yzma didn't even seem to consider trying to kill Kuzco until he fired her and even then, she gave up that idea when it turned out she only needed to ensure he failed out at Kuzco Academy to become empress.
I think she also saw Kuzco almost as her own son but because the both of them have distorted views of things that type of connection or bond is also a bit distorted between them as well.
I was really thinking the same thing.
Really, well put. I was think the same way.
Cue the Emperor's New School!
Honestly, I completely agree with your opinion of their relationship. It's something that has kept bugging me each time I re-watch/remember their movie and cartoon because frankly there were two things that never made any sense to me.
1. 'Why did Yzma never murder Kuzco's father?', if we really think about this she was in a perfect position to just kill the guy no matter how strong or loved he was because he viewed her as his most trusted councilor and even asked her to take care of his only son and future heir should he die which just proves how highly he thought of her. She was in a perfect position to backstab him but she never did and this makes me wonder if despite her ambitions to take his place as a ruler, she was loyal to him and couldn't bring herself to kill him as he recognized her worth (unlike many) or maybe due to her not wanting to deprive a baby from their only living parent? Or maybe she was even already close to baby Kuzco and couldn't bring herself to do kill his father?
2. 'Why didn't she just kill Kuzco as a baby?' this is pretty cold to say of course but she would have had no hassle whatsoever to just stage the baby getting ill and dying (aka poison him but make it look natural) as she is his only real caretaker and while people might suspect her, there is no doubt she could have played the act of a grieving heartbroken mother-figure flawlessly if she needed to. Instead, knowing fully well that said baby will grow up to be someone she will have to get rid of for the sake of her ambitions, she - raises him, educates him, takes care of him, does not deprive him of anything he asks for (he cannot possibly have ended up as spoilt as he was if she was more strict on him) and ultimately ends up loving him as her own son because she frankly truly raised him.
The way I see it, I think she purposefully created a barrier in her mind in regards to him because she always knew she would have to kill him so while she loved him as her own, she forced herself to constantly think of him as 'the emperor's son' rather than hers so she would eventually be capable of killing him to take his throne permanently. This likely also transferred over to how she treated Kuzco as she tried to emotionally distance him from herself once he grew up somewhat so she would be 'his councilor' in his mind rather than 'mother' due to her stifled guilt over the looming betrayal in the future (I mean hers).
I also had to wonder if she alongside her fury and disbelief she felt betrayed by Kuzco when he fired her, after all she had done for him (and lets face it she truly did rule the empire for quite a few years while Kuzco was growing up and must have been fairly good at it to keep it together as an acting regent, even if she didn't truly care for the people and treated them badly). So I do agree that the moment he fires her is actually the moment her feelings take a backseat to her ambitions completely, especially if she already felt betrayed by him thus why should she keep showing him compassion and care?
@@amayamarian6657 Those are some interesting points and I think a possible answer for why Yzma didn't kill Kuzco's father could be because, as I already theorized, he was a widow; maybe she had actually hoped to seduce him and become empress by marriage. Of course Kuzco points out that Yzma is older but come on, he's a stuck up, spoiled and self absorbed 18yr old, the type of jerk that probably would consider anyone over thirty to be prehistoric. Heck maybe Yzma even developed some actual feelings for the late emperor and that ultimately led to an attachment to Kuzco that she did try to store away in a mental box because obviously there's going to be a possibility of having to off him in the future.
As far as not killing Kuzco as a baby there's one really good reason for keeping him around, if he was still practically a baby when his father died then depending on how the empirial succession worked she may not have had any other way to assume the throne or even keep her place in the palace without little Kuzco. If there was an older family member or any way anyone else could have claimed right to the throne at the time then her best play was to go with the fact that Kuzco was named successor by his father the late emperor and she was appointed his guardian by said late emperor and do whatever was necessary to protect Kuzco and secure the throne for him because there would be no guarantees that a new emperor or empress wouldn't have them both either banished or executed to secure the throne for themselves.
Another reason is that she could have tried to raise the young emperor to be loyal to her and maybe either rule the empire using Kuzco as a figure head or just kill him off when he's older and she has insured that she could be next in line for the throne.
And it makes sense that Yzma had ruled as a sort of regent for some time since nobody seems to question it when she's trying the run the empire behind Kuzco's back and taking over as empress when he's assumed dead.
"Why do we even have that lever?"
The quotability of this movie is one of the many reasons I love it. Now also, Isaac saying "Yzmopolis my metropolis."
Yes, I agree. There are so many quotable scenes. My current favorite is, “listen, sista.” LOL, it's the way her energy changed from nice to unkind.
I think the reason why yzma was never really punished hard because she was like a mother to the king son. He has a spot in his heart for her and yzma willing or not I think had a soft spot for him to shown in show from time to time.
I mean it's quite telling that she's had instant death poison for basically kuzcis entire life but doesn't even consider useing it until he betrays and fires her
I thought I was the only one thinking that she did what she did more cause she was hurt/mad she got fired than wanting to be empress
Originally, during production, back when ‘The Emperor’s New Groove’ was called ‘Kingdom of the Sun, Yzma wanted to take over the empire just to get rid off the sun, because she believes that was the reason for her ugliness. So she turns Emperor Manco(Kuzco) into a llama(on purpose this time), takes over as empress, and uses her dark magic to summon Supai, the Inca god of the underworld, to destroy the sun. But her plans fail all thanks to Pacha and Manco(Kuzco).
Really interesting. Great comment on this video I enhoyed reading it xxxxx
though I love how the actual movie turns out, that version sounds really cool
Summoning ancient Inca gods? Im down!
To be fair, the sun is the number one cause of aging even now. As we saw Yzma only became ugly through age so it makes sense she would hate the sun.
There's more to that. The "sun" is actually Kuzco, who she hates for making her spend her whole youth with him, instead of having fun and eventually having her own children and more. Og Yzma was suprisingly deep.
Also, in her original villain song, we learn more about her family. Her father was the royal mortician and taught her what he knew.
Fun fact: Yzma being transformed into a kitten is a nod to Eartha Kitt's stint as catwoman back in the 60s Batman & Robin series.
She's my favourite Disney villain of all time.
" what??? A llama????? HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD"
" welp he ain't getting any deader... Now BACK TO WORK!!!!"
-Yzma
Omg 200+ likes, thank you so much and Rest in heaven Eartha Kitt😍😭👼🙌
llove
Tooo much
I was laughing so hard after she said “Welp, he ain’t getting any deader.”
a brilliant philosopher once said:
"Pull the lever, Kronk."
The brilliant philosopher also said:
"Wrong lever!"
The brilliant philosopher also also said:
"I never liked your spinach puffs!"
Why Yzma is not dead or in prison? Probably for two reason:
1 - Kuzco sentiment towards her, after all she is the closest thing to a mother that he had...and family can be a very complicated thing
2 - For all her evil plan, she is probably a very skilled administrator and seeing pre-growing Kuzco; it's clear that she is really running the empire even if the Emperor get all the fame.
Yzma's mother: are you empress yet?
Me: are you?
RIP Eartha Kitt.

Kusco cares for her the same way Raps cares for Mother Gothel. It's partly really love because they are a caretaker and partly kind of stock home syndrome

But Gothel is more worse than Yzma
@@reina_harhar7815 people in abusive and toxic relationships stay. A lot of the times because they see the best. Or they don't want to believe the worst in someone they cared for
Kuzco probably keeps her around because she practically raised him. Shes the closest thing to family he has. Sometimes no matter how much your family hurts and abuses you you cant let them go. He really does care for her, despite what shes done and continues to do. We can only hope Yezma sees that and realizes that she doesnt need to become empress to be happy.
Yzma has always been one of my most favorite Disney villains, especially since she's voiced by the late great Eartha Kitt...in fact when it came to her voice acting, The Emperor's new Groove and New School was when she was at her finest.
"The Empire"
"Kuzco's Empire"
"The Empire of Kuzco"
I see what you did there. :D
I was about 13 when "The Emperor's New Groove" came out in theaters and immediately, I was drawn to Yzma. Here was this woman who, due to her age, obviously had a past and who was far more intelligent than the spoiled child she was forced to be subordinate to, and yet all the same, there she was as simply "the emperor's advisor". Yzma sparked my interest so much I actually wrote a fan fiction detailing what I imagined her backstory to be, and what happened to her after the events of "The Emperor's New Groove".
In short, as a young woman, Yzma began work at the palace as a healer, using her medicines for good. Her skill, smarts, and beauty caught the eye of the prince and they became lovers. But when the prince eventually ascended the throne, he abandoned Yzma to take a wife of noble heritage and Yzma resented him for that, vowing to never forgive him for it. The newly-crowned emperor and his empress, of course, had a son: Kuzco. And he, naturally, was the spitting image of his father. After Kuzco's parents both passed away, Yzma was left in charge of the boy and raised him to be a selfish brat unprepared for the full responsibility of the throne out of spite.
Following the events of "The Emperor's New Groove", Yzma, restored to human form and in exile, faked her own death so the empire would no longer think of her as a threat, then she sat back and watched as the arrival of Spanish colonialism began to crumble Kuzco's empire. And when she had waited long enough and the chance arose, she finally slayed Kuzco. Her revenge complete, she started life over, far away, living out her last years using her knowledge of potions for good once again.
And yes, I wrote this when I was 13--dark, I know. But on the bright side, Eartha Kitt liked it. I sent a copy to her, along with a letter telling her how much Yzma had inspired me, and she was kind enough to respond encouraging my writing. I'll always be grateful to her for that.
Wow! Do you still have the letter/email she sent you?
@@leethompson-kolar6333 Oh, yes, I still have the letter. I don't know where exactly off the top of my head, but I know it's stored away in a box somewhere for safekeeping.
@@AliciaNyblade If you do figure out where it is, would you mind typing it out? I'd love to read what Kitt had to say to you, and I suspect others reading this comment would too. =]
@@leethompson-kolar6333 Oh, I can share it now. Trust me, I memorized it. :) She said:
"I love your story with great imagination. So Yzma lives to be 91 with a Florence Nightingale-good heart. Thank you for sharing this with me. We are sending your story to our people at Disney from a child of great imagination.
Thank You,
Eartha Kitt (Yzma)"
I never heard from Disney, and indeed don't even know if she really sent my story to them or was just saying so to be encouraging. I did try to send it to them myself several times but received a reply from them which included the line, "While we're happy to hear you enjoy writing, Disney has rules that don't allow us to accept ideas from outside sources". Which to me seems hilariously hypocritical, given that most of their movies are based on others' pre-existing works, but I digress. About a year or two after I received Ms. Kitt's letter and my failed attempts to get Disney's attention, they came out with "Kronk's New Groove". Needless to say, I was furious. I still haven't seen it, just on the principle of it all.
No freaking way!!! She liked it?!? That’s awesome!!! I guess that kinda fits into the lore in “snuff out the light”
That whole “Principal Amzy” thing still cracks me up. 🤣
I had to think about it for a lot longer than I should have
I clicked as soon as i seen the name! i love Yzma, she is one of my favorite villains!
Me too.
Ikr!
Ditto!
SAME!
I like that Yzma isn't just some comedically evil villain. She's a legitimate character with a family.
How can Yzma be both so *iconic* and yet so underrated??
Also I think we can all agree Isaac singing in more videos would increase the quality 1000000x
Yzma: Pull the lever, Kronk!
*Pulls lever*

Example:
Yzma: Pull the lever, Kronk!! **Kronk does so, but nothing happens.** Take the stairs?
Kronk: Hey, why not?
Hahahah!
BronyFan 27 Haha! Love that one too!
Got love Yzma. RIP Eartha Kitt.
This video is brilliant, brilliant, BRILLIANT!
i see what you did there ;)
im-
Honestly, I think the only reason that Kuzco keeps Yzma around is because of the fact of... she practically raised him. Perhaps with that, he still finds some significants of Yzma in his life to not let her go. Even with all the horrible stuff she's done to Kuzco, that problably didn't effect him enough to just abandon her.
This is just my opion though and not cannon. So I'd be happy to see other's theories or ideas. 😃
That makes sense.......
i always loved yzma, she was hilarious, energetic, and was really smart. i enjoyed hearing her plans i just wish she was nicer to kronk. honestly both kronk and kuzco did care for her. kronk always was trying to make her happy and i think deep down kuzco did care for her, i mean he kept her around so long until he finally had to let her go because she was running the kingdom behind his back. still great video watso loved it.
Surprised you went through Yzma’s family in depth but left out the key and telling branch of her father, who was the royal mortician, that was alluded to in “Snuff Out The Light” aka Yzma’s song
She definitely is and I think Kuzco keeps her around to keep an eye on her, knowing about her potions and schemes
Jaden Fox or for comic relief, I know I would
I believe that Kuzco still keeps yzma around because, like you said, she “practically raised him”. Although yzma is always plotting against him, she was sort of like the only “family” kuzco had left before he met all of his current friends. That’s my guess lol
I always thought that in the movie how she handled Kronk, "Who honestly was difficult to be around" showed that she had genuine care for people. She just felt ripped off. I can understand that. Imagine raising a kid who turns on you when you understand the kingdom better? I mean Cusco "I am sure I spelled that wrong" THREW AN OLD MAN OUT OF A WINDOW! Honestly we only see her as the bad guy because that is how the story was viewed. In any other Disney movie in which a king tosses the elderly out a window to their death we would be cheering Yzma on.
We really needed this. I mean who doesn't love Emperor's New Groove?
Also, YES, YZMA IS THE MOST HILARIOUS VILLAN EVER!!!!!!!!
"Yzmopolis, there's no stoppolis!"
"That's not a word."
*guards draw their weapons*
"It iiis to meeee!"
A, good memories.

Why do we even have that lever
Lol
Up
Yzma's mother's name is EZMA! EH! EH! STOP CALLING THEM BOTH YZMA!
ikr I keep getting confused.
Isn't it Azma?
@@JVBDPaoli no, she even says it. Momma Ezma
@Andromeda Vieira no, yzma said it plainly in the episode as EHzma
Am I officially old for watching the movie and somewhat feeling for her because Kuzco was such a brat at first???
I don’t condone her actions at all, just understand her a bit more
I mean yes, he was a brat, but who rised this brat? XD
He threw an old guy out of a window for throwing off his grove and planned to relocate an entire town for his summer home
He was definitely an entitled brat, but over the movie he realizes that other people have wants and needs too
Izma had just the same attitude as Kuzco. Remember how nonchalantly she treated one peasant who came begging for more food? (the moment right before Kuzco fired Izma)
Lets be honest, i think the reason Isaac enjoyed Yzma's speech so much he made a video about her.
In the prototype of Emperor's New Groove, the more serious: Kingdom of the Sun Yzma had a song which ended up on the movie soundtrack, in which she speaks of her father who was the royal mortician IE the person charged with preparing mummification and royal funerals. Though this is no longer cannon it explains how she learned of potion making and was able to get a job in the imperial court.
Kusco seems to keep Yzma around because he sees her as part of his family, despite all her evil flaws and plots against him. It's nice to see that he is forgiving and willing to give Yzma a chance, but still punishes her when she goes too far. That and his ego.
There’s also Yzma’s father, who is sang about a little in a deleted number called “Snuff out the Light”. Her father was the royal mortician, and that’s how she learned about eternal youth through her fathers ‘experiments’(?) or his “magic tricks” as she told.
I think he kept yzma around since she did raise him so he might see her as a weird mom who wants power. But still kinda like a mom. Or an auntie. Since yzma did keep him safe and alive for so many years he knows that deep down yzma isn't really out to hurt him, she just wants the empire
Man, I love Yzma! The reason I think Kuzco keeps her around is something she said herself: she practically raised him. To him even though they’ve never had a healthy family dynamic he obviously still cares for her on some level. She may be treasonous, but especially at the end of the TV show he probably thinks that he’s gotten a handle on foiling her schemes to the point he can keep her around without any real danger. So he does.
Her mother's name is Azma, as in Athsma....
And then she became a momager for the Kardashians and Jenner's. And got many face lifts to look 20 years younger. The end
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Daaang 😬🤣
When it comes to Yzma, my best friend and I absolutely love her as the hilarious villain that she is. In fact, the two of us would often repeat some of her absolute best lines from the movie.
Yzma: pull the lever Kronk! .......... Wrong lever!
One of my favorite villains ^^
Is it possible she worked for Hades with them science stuff
Aldo Aviles I think Isacc made a video about that
I’m pretty sure before she was herself she was Meg from Hercules
Omg she is so funny and hilarious I can imagine that Nelson from the Simpson point's at her that ever time yzma's has trying to get rid of Kuzco but failed when Nelson start to laugh at her !
Nelson: * Pointed at Yzma for failing her plan* Ha Ha !!!!
Ahh one of my fav villians!! Thank you for this
1:05 "Most likely to wither"
Why did that make me laugh-
I think it’s worth noting that in Yzma’s song, “Snuff Out the Light” Yzma says her father was the Royal Mortician and that she was apprenticed to him, and planned to use his “tuition” to reverse the effects of aging on herself, and strongly implied he used magic on the royal corpses as a preservation technique. If her family were a line of Morticians, given that they’re a preindustrial society, it’s highly likely that anything used to preserve corpses that could be defined as magic was more than likely a toxin of one form or another (arsenic comes to mind). So, in short, it’s entirely possible that her familial obsessions and skills in chemistry come from embalming, a side effect of which may have been madness.
*"what* *is* *he* *babbling* *about?"*
*"he's* *like* *the* *thing* *that* *wouldn't* *shut* *up"*
Has anyone heard Snuff Out the Light? It was a cut song so if it really counts is hard to say, but it fits in and is about her relationship with her father. According the lyrics her father was the royal mortician who also knew dark magic that he taught her. It's really worth listening to if you've not heard it, I love Eartha Kitt.
What if Kuzco's father ended up in the Polynesian islands and got caught up in the Curse of Blight from TeKa?
I don't know what TeKa is but now I need this Spin off about Kuzco's father

I think Kuzco keeps her around because even though he doesn't want to admit it, I think he does care for her and sees her as a guardian figure since she did practically raised him.

+Wotso Videos Great video about Yzma, Isaac. Yzma is my second favourite hilarious Disney Villain, the first being Hades. Yzma really wanted to get the throne of Kuzco's kingdom and really wanted to stop at nothing to get what she wants and kill Kuzco. I love it when she says, "What? A llama? "HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!"
Omg I'm so happy you did a video on Yzma! I just love her so much, especially her humor and aspirations to be Empress. Although I do love the Yzma we got, it would've been interesting to see how Yzma would have been like, had she been more villainous - I definitely would have loved to see the sequence when spirits rise from the ground as she sings "Snuff Out the Light."
I love "Snuff Out the Light." Wish that could've been fully developed, but I do want to talk about that at some point. I mentioned that today on my Twitter actually.
The actress who played Yzma also played Catwoman in the late 60s. So to not only turn into a cat, but later turn into a literal cat woman, well..
Finally a villain who's backstory isn't actually that tragic but it's still a deep character tragic backstories are fine even great but it's always nice to have a change
Yzma learned how to make potions from her father whom was the royal mortician and an undercover magician during her early childhood.
It's all stated in the deleted song "snuff out the light"
Poor yzma I feel bad for her she is easy to relate to when getting bullied and made fun of
One of My fav villians ❤️❤️❤️😍
One main thing we can say about Yzma is that if she wants something she won't stop until she gets it. Very persistent we can give her that
I was hoping for this. Thanks.
Yzma was an awesome villain! Her voice actress was amazing as well.
Give her a live action movie already! Yzma is so underrated.
No one could do it like Eartha Kit though ♥️
YES I WANTED THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG!!!!
Good video Wotso videos, I wondered about yzma's backstory everytime I watch the emperor's new groove, keep up the good work!👍
Loving that profile pic and name

@@sisterpandagamer3272 Thanks haha :)
@@pandamonium2653 your welcome
Wounder about Yzma back story too, tell me what did he think of it?
This lady scared me on the movie cover I had when I was like, five....
I threw away the movie and never regretted it
Perhaps Kuzko feels love for her since she was the one who raised him and he just puts up with it to keep her happy since she was basically his mother.
Her dad was the Royal Mortician. Look up her song, snuff out the light
My theories:
1. At first Kuzco is so deluded that he thinks no one would actually plot against him because everyone loves him, so even though Yzma's annoying at times, he has no reason to fear her. Besides, Kuzco doesn't care about his people and just wants to have fun, so why not keep Yzma around and let her attend those boring meetings or read over those long decrees full of legal jargon or whatever else the emperor has to do (or pawn off on someone else to do)? And so what if she has a secret lab? Maybe she's just trying to be a high priestess or something, and she can make sure the gods stay happy with him and grant him a long reign and not cause drought or anything else that would require him to assist peasants, or perhaps she uses her secret lab to cause the disappearance of people that Kuzco doesn't like. However, even though she's been convenient to have around to avoid responsibilities, she's started overstepping her bounds and taking on too much authority, especially without Kuzco's consent, so she has to get fired.
2. By the end of the first movie, Kuzco is convinced that Yzma's not much of a threat anymore because she's a kitten, and he's a human.
3. By the end of "Kronk's New Groove," Kuzco is still unaware of what Yzma's been doing, and he doesn't much care, as long as she stays out of his way.
4. For "The Emperor's New School," Kuzco isn't technically the emperor yet, so it seems he lacks the authority to boot her out.
5. When all is said and done, he realizes she'd probably find a way to escape prison, so he should keep an eye on her or have her executed. But then living in humiliation would be a worse fate for her than death, so he lets her keep her life and her freedom, but she's now demoted. At this point, Kuzco is also thinking, "All she ever does is turn me into animals, and that's only temporary. If I get rid of her and hire someone else, the person replacing her might actually be smart enough to succeed at killing me."
Though, since most of this information comes from The Emperor's New School, I take her history with a grain of salt
Autum Breeze I agree. I love The Emperor's New School but I don't think it's canon with the movie.
Employer?
@@jackdebian2970 🤦♀️ sometimes, I really hate autocorrect
Yzma is a riot and im here for her schemes
Me too! She's SO much fun!
I think because Yzma raised Him. He kinda see Yzma as a crazy mother figure. No matter what she she does deep down he love her. He took care of him when she could have just killed as a young boy and took over. When you think of it would have be very easy if she would have done that. However, I think that Yzma cares for him even though she doesn't want to and try to fight against that feeling of somewhat motherhood. After all she did raise him. However, I also think as time went on she realized that she had to put all of affection for him away if she was ever to get what she wanted in life. So, she turns her back on him and choice to try to take his power as her own and undermined him but fails time and time again which only Makes her more and more angry. Until she can't take it anymore and try to kill him.
And best villainess gets a great video! Thank you! I was looking forward to this one. 😊
Omg this is the one I have waited for!!!!!
in the scraped plot of Kingdom of the Sun, Yzma had a father who worked as the royal mortician who was a skilled magician in the art of necromancy, bringing the mummies he made to life. she was his apprentice till his death. and according to her song, Snuff out the Light, she blamed her aging on the sun and planed to use the dark magic she learned to cause an endless night and maybe summon the Inca god of night.
When I was a kid, watching the Emperor's New Groove, Yzma was the one villain in film that I could still so heavily relate to, that I ended up not even liking Kuzco. As an adult, this totally rings true, still. She's just out here doing her best to please her mom and her family, she's intelligent, sassy, and the best comedic relief of the entire cast.
YASSS A YZMA VIDEO!! THX WOTSO VIDEOS
Yzma is literally my favorite Disney Villain!
Well, after every backstory I have heard I would never have thought evil just runs through Yzma's blood and bones.😯😯
Yeah!!! I've been waiting for this!!!
I agree that Yzma has support from her family. She's my favorite Disney Villianess and I truly think she's insanely hilarious. :) Her screams and they way she talks just makes me laugh and smile. I especially love her diabolical character and that she has such fun secret passages into her secret labs (wish I could ride them though. Disney should SO make a ride like that in Dinsey World). In my opinion, Yzma is Disney's BEST Villianess.
I think kuzco kept her around was because ezma was his mother figure
My favorite villain ever! 💜
Thank you for telling her story, Isaac! 💜💜 I learned so much about her! Great job on your video!
This video is brilliant, Brilliant, BRILLIANT!!!
Your best video yet
A classic no doubt
Yzma is easily the funniest and most underrated Disney Villain. 🥰
Isaac, please do the full story Clopin Trouillefou! I know there isn’t a whole lot of information about him, but he is one of my favorite Disney characters. And he is so easily forgotten amongst the other Hunchback characters (Quasi, Esmeralda, Frollo, etc).
Ooh, what movie is he from?
HappyFellowship Are you kidding me? Please tell me you’re joking... I literally mentioned he was from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and was easily forgot- Oh... I feel stupid now. You were using sarcasm!
@@maddiekoester7785 I'm so sorry! I was trying to sound nice and not ignorant. I've only watch the Hunchback of Notre Dame once, so... sorry! 😅
@@maddiekoester7785 please don't feel bad
It’s really okay, I tend to overreact sometimes... 😅
this video was brilliant brilliant BRILLIANT!!!
