      This is my favorite "fun" fact about this series. Like they revived a bunch of dead villains just to put them on trial and banish them to an island where they had nothing else to do but fuck.
      My second favorite "fun" fact is that all Disney animals are relegated to "sidekicks." In the novels there's like a separate area they segregate all the talking animals to, and they're not equal to the humans. Yes, even the Lion King and Bambi characters, who are not sidekicks.

He was saying they were backward and the place smelled horrible since they don't have modern plumbing just buckets. Yet when you read the 1st book Isle of the Lost, you find out the whole Descendants world is an amalgamation planet (like Battleworld in Marvel's Secret Wars) created by Beast and Fairy Godmother using her wand. So Camelot didn't even have a choice to be there, let alone a choice to become part of Auradon's empire, Beast and Fairy Godmother are tyrants and the franchise just ignores that.

That is when Mal found a bucket of rotten shrimp tails and dumped it on Uma's head and nicknamed her shrimpy.

    I really think they handled Cameron’s death respectfully in the Rise of Red. Like I doubted they were gonna acknowledge anything, and they could have very easily gone with “they’re away with the other four”, seen as no one is pictured and it’s in opening monologue only…but they didn’t. They added an emotional beat that absolutely tore me apart as someone who grew up watching Cameron Boyce. They acknowledged that even in that universe, Carlos was gone. They lingered on it just enough to understand emotionally driven motivation. And then they moved on from that beat because “the moment” as such, was over. Uma shedding tears felt so real too.
    It just felt far better than any way I thought Disney would handle something like this. They’re known for just recasting or ignoring, but to give a character and therefore an actor a send off like that, one only those old enough to know about Cameron Boyce would even understand, is extremely respectful. Honouring what he did for the series, and giving him a send off instead of just ignoring the issue.

The queen of hearts hates her, Cinderella calls her out for overreacting to the prank. She refuses to tell her daughter what happend. Bridgette makes such a strong point about cinderella being her only friends. She sings a song about getting your hands dirty if you think you have to. The villain kids that we are told actually made me prank get frozen as soon as the open merlins magic book (which a person without an evil intention can open, aka someone like cinderella) And thanks to her being grounded she couldnt even go to thr promb to perform that prank.

    I recall someone defending the fact that "Descendants" was originally a book series before the release of "Ever After High." They mentioned that the movie and the book were released within a month of each other, which was a significant achievement. However, it seems like Disney Channel attempted to gaslight people into thinking that "Descendants" had been a book series for a longer time, probably because of Disney's influence and financial power.

    • @neb.9489
      @neb.9489 20 днів тому +21

      Descendants wasn’t a book series, but the franchise was conceptualized before EAH was a thing. It’s common knowledge when the books released and information you can easily find. Disney cannot bury when something was released. Everyone always harps on Descendants for “copying”. In reality the only thing the franchises have in common is the fact that they’re the children of fairytale characters and that they have purple hair main characters. Of course they also have the lesson that everyone should be able to chose their own path, however, their plots are extremely different. Descendants was also blamed for the cancellation when in reality it was bc of Mattel budget cuts. Yes it was because of them losing their Disney Princess deal, but Descendants had nothing to do with the cancellation. Both franchise could’ve coexisted and as a fan of both, I would’ve loved to see it!

    33:30 "You didnt think this was the end of the story did you" Actually was improvised in a way. Specifically, in D1 it wasn't in the script, but during filming Kenny told Dove to say it. Same thing happened in D2, wasn't in the script, wasn't planned, but as they were filming Kenny decided to have it be said. So, it was improvised but moreso by Kenny, not by Dove or China.

    In Rise of Red, I was expecting a twist that Cinderella was the one who made the prank, even if unknowingly. Firstly because it's make sense in a narrative way to have the main character being wrong about their very first guess, secondly because a big point of the movie was how different the parents were when they were younger and the "nice good parent did something bad in the past" is a classic, thirdly because when the villains take the book it's shown that they got immediatley frozen upon opening it because the spell Merlin put was to prevent the book from falling into the wrong hand. Implying that EVEN WITHOUT RED AND CHLOE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FROZEN. Not only that, they were able to get the book so easily because of Red and Chloe. Before the freezing I was fully expecting a "them going back in time was always meant to happen/time fixed itself" twist. Then the villain got frozen and I was like "Oh so we'll reveal that the person who pranked Bridget was one of the good guys, likely Ella, and it was like a misunderstanding but Bridget never got to realize it because she had turned to evil". And the fact they went back before the dance (which now I see you mentionning it, I understand better why the ending felt so unsatisfying) kinda pushed that narrative more, like, they go back to the present, see things haven't changed, go back in time, and at the dance they realize what truly happenned, and fix the misunderstanding/error in the past with good old communication. This movie just needed ten more minutes.
    At least the songs were fire

    You’ve got to read the books too, Captain Hook actually has 3 children, Gil has two brothers, Mal has a half-brother, and the movies regularly contradict the lore set up in the books in spite of the books having been written for the purpose of setting up the movies
    Just finished the video: so glad that you are gonna read the books because it is very clear that the author was not given the full information of the overarching plot of the stories (or that they didn’t know what the next movie was gonna be about every time she was asked to write another) and the movies would just kinda ignore the books meaning the the author had to keep scrambling to make it all make sense (like Captain Hook having three kids that were all introduced in different canons) she even tried to make the Wicked World shorts work by including Jordan, Freddy, and CJ

Uh, yes Mal, he DIDN'T have a phone. While Auradon has modern technology, I don't think they ever showed anyone on the Isle of the Lost using a phone; not even a landline. I didn't notice any telephone poles and I don't really care to check. Hades' response is actually pretty fair: "Are you kidding? Is this a joke?" Until it's not: "You're stronger with those daddy issues." Uh, no Hades, that's NOT how this works. While both said some dumb stuff, Hades is still in the wrong here for purposefully neglecting his daughter. I am surprised that everyone is going nuts over the "Ja-laddin" lyric, yet I haven't heard anyone point out either of these lyrics.

    I am so glad you are doing a part 2 with the books because they are in my opinion pretty good. They expand on the stuff in the movies and the shows, so it's fun seeing all those characters matter in there. They have the same issues where some things aren't exactly perfect or the movies undo development, (expected when you have different people working on each project) but they are still fun!

    If you want another thing to cover for your Tinkerbell part two video, I highly recommend researching "Tinkerbell The Ring of belief" it's the OG Tinkerbell movie that was supposed to be the movie that was released but was cancelled when it was 80% done, that's why the animation looks so bad for the first one it's because it was rushed. It's SUPER intriguing and the story behind it is something I think you'd enjoy.
