can't wait for the baroness' redemption movie in 40 years when we learn that her mother was murdered by mini cruellas
the lore just keeps on expanding XD
I'd watch that IF the mini Cruellas can be done in Twilight-baby CGI.
Thanks I hate it
@@koenvandamme6901 I'd only watch the baroness redemption ark if they also had a prequel in plan for how the mini Cruella's were created
It was Dalmation knight knomes of the Baroness Vale that slaughtered the mini Cruellas village.
Cruella's mom getting shoved off a cliff by dalmatians is one of the funniest moments in cinematic history.
Attack of the horribly cgid dogs. That sounds like an overdone anime
Agreed lol The memes still get me.
I had to pause the movie to laugh at that part
I can't believe the dogs summoned Exodia and sent her mom to the Shadow Realm, such a bold choice.
I’m glad I’m not the only person who found this to be hysterical
disney trying to water down cruella like: “she’s not ACTUALLY evil, she’s just cosplaying as someone that’s evil.”
I mean people call me a murderer, even though I ain't been caught yet
@@SaladKeg No, Disney just didn't want to support the fur industry or smoking industry while making Cruella. Which makes no sense in itself
@@SaladKeg i bet they’re going to make an yzma movie where she grew up dirt poor living off of pennies her entire life and craves having power, but not because she wants to do anything _evil_ like kill kuzco the teenage emperor, but because she wants to _distribute the wealth_ that evil kuzco kept for himself and give other poor families hope. just let female characters be evil, damn it.
@@NovaKnight_ Everything’s Wicked nowadays
I mean, that doesn't preclude someone from Becoming the mask. That slippery slope of doing Necessary evil to achieve good, only for the lines to become so blurred for you that your moral compass is just spinning all the time
Just let villains be villains. Some characters aren't made to be sympathetic.
exactly, AND you can make a character that does bad things and is still sympathetic.
Like BoJack Horseman, its hard not to feel bad for the guy(horse?).
@@loli_cvnt5622 that is actually what sympathy is. Friendship is not involved.
i can't believe the alien-guy from alien dosn't have a scene that explains why he's mean,
maybe when he was a kid he was bullied by some earth-peoples and he's just misunderstood?
(idk, i haven't watched the movie)
@@secretname3897 I think they're talking about pity.
pretty much this. People tend to like villains because of how good they are at being bad.
"Cruella hates Dalmatians cause they killed her mom" sounds like a joke. The fact that it's a real plot point is even funnier.
"singing killed my grandma okay???"
The cgi dogs ragdolling the mom over the balcony was hilarious. Definitely not what they were going for
I know this is unrelated to the comment or the video, but I LOVE your pfp dude lol
Before watching the movie i was like "How ft are they gonna humanize a person who wants to murder puppies for a coat? Are the dogs going to kill someone?"
As if that justifies her killing OTHER dogs later. This had to have been written by a psychopath. Only a full psychopath would think to justify killing puppies by referencing some childhood event.
They tried to turn a character who is infamous for being cruel and inhumane to animals into a feminist role model.
That seems way too fitting tbh
Sounds pretty feminist to me.
art imitates reality
@Asian Bust of the Uncanny Valley I mean if we’re gonna nitpick that, why’s this movie set in the 70s? Why’s Roger not blonde? Why are Cruella’s eyes gray and not black?
Thanks, I hate it.
This feels gross
“BECAUSE SINGING KILLED MY GRANDMA!”
Same energy
i thought the same thing
Yeah i was pissed off that Branch doesn't *hate the species that willingly ate his grandmother* but is fine cause his girlfriend who y'know *likely also had her Mom eaten by Bergens* was okay with them.
Fuck.
@@maylabrown4584 That has about the same feeling as me, then being 5 or 6 years old, decided to not like mushrooms because my best friend said he didn't like them.
lmfao i forgot about that
first, it was "Singing killed my grandma"
now, it's "Dalmatians killed my mom."
Can't wait for a Lion King prequel about Mufasa being a dick to Scar the entire movie.
The Lion King 2 by Barry Jenkins.
It will happen. The movie will be like The Godfather Part II, half prequel, half sequel.
In the prequel part Mufasa will do exactly that, because Disney is stupid.
They kinda did they with the lion guard, with Mufasa teasing him because of his scar he got from A FUCKING SNAKE???
It sucks because Lion King fans have been asking for a legit prequel for years if not decades and now it's like wait... no, we... we didn't mean it like this. Please. Not in the remake universe!
@@FauxGemini If they'll do it it will be probably a disappointment.
Somewhere someone at Disney read this and now it’s already happening. Thanks.
“HOW DID JASPER GET LESS BLACK WITH AGE”
This part broke me
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MELANIN???
Don't you see, he's both black and white, just like a dalmatian, mind blown.
It was all used up to retcon a white character into being black.
Ask Michael Jackson
Because they need a black character for inclusion quota but he has to be marketable towards Chinese millionaires.
In the original movie Cruella pretty clearly says "I live for Furs". She doesn't have any emotional attachment or hate towards dalmatians specifically and it drives me crazy when interpretation zero in on that like it's her entire identity.
Yep, remember in the 90s movie how she killed the zoo tiger just cuz she wanted its fur? It was always just a vanity thing, the revenge plot is beyond stupid.
Well in this movie, she didnt want to kill the dalamations because she hated them. She noted that their fur would make wonderful coats and then made a coat that looked like their fur to scare and anger their owner. The owner killed her mother. This movie is more of a fashion/revenge movie.
@@Ms.AllSunday930 That doesn't make sense though. Why would she continue to wear the coats and be so deeply obsessed after the revenge craps been resolved? She develops a weird obsession with furs and killing dogs for them, *ALL* because she originally wanted to spite the owner who happened to use Dalmatians to kill her adopted mom, even though she understands Dalmatians/dogs didnt actually factor in directly and it's all baronness' fault.
With this movies weird half baked justification, the cruella in the later movie and this ending is basically holding onto the childhood grudge of, "the dogs were very very very scary to me as a kid once so I hate them and am crazy now." And the thing about their blood relation doesn't mean much. It doesn't mean that her, as a rational adult, has to now permanently alter her personality and be exactly like her birth parent. *What? Why?*
Great. Love how every single detail has to be critical to her origin and backstory, and all tie together even when none of the knots make sense. Love that her personality isn't original at all and it's just a weird irrational obsession with mimicking her mother. Who she hates.
This is just a another cash grab using nostalgia like the other Disney live action remakes.
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero She doesnt have a grudge against the dogs at the end. She becomes the owner and allows one to even have puppies when she could have killed them all as soon as she dognapped them earlier. Not every Villain origin is the origin of the original. I took this as a different version of her like Maleficent. Maleficent gets close to Aurora instead of becoming a dragon and dying. Sure Pongo and Perdita appeared after credits but I think this was mainly to show how the other characters ended up in this new universe. Cruella doesnt have an emotional attachment to those dogs, she's just a fashion anti hero in this version.
This movie didnt have to BE a Cruella film though. I would be fine with a whole other person being the mc but I think this was fine. The person she really hated was her birth mother and when she defeated her, she took over.
@@Ms.AllSunday930 The movie CONSTANTLY references and takes from the original with tons of details about her original character and design being given explanations in this. Most of her interactions with the baroness are to show her picking up her maneurisms so she ends up like the original movie's Cruella. What's the point of making her halfheartedly act like old cruella, but also have her be completely seperate and not related? It also makes no sense why she'd be resigned to being like her mother who she hates. It's a stupid cliche. Just because she takes over the fashion business and stuff and falls to her level a bit, doesn't mean she'd end up like her and permanently stay like her.
It can't reference and tie into the original film as a prequel story, but ALSO get to be it's own thing that's free from comparisons to the original Cruella. No lol
If they really are completely seperate cruellas then what is even the point of this if it's not meant to actual cruella?
This probably could have been fine as a seperate film with no disney elements yeah, but it doesn't get brownie points for what it could've been, for it how it could've been original. It isn't.
There's nothing to this. One of the writers/head stage people really liked joker. Thats about as inspired as it ever gets.
As a fashion history nerd, I also dislike how they gave her a punk look when her original character is this antithesis of anything punk. She's this rich noblewoman heiress that got rich off other people's work. I was really excited to see how they were gonna adapt her younger version's style but goddamn. She doesn't even wear a fur coat!
Exactly! Does dosney seriously think punk came from the wealthy?
@@NathanGatten The rich have been trying to appropriate punk for years to make supporting their products seem cool and rebellious
The worst part is that (to some extent) it's working
@@NathanGatten it literally did lmao
She's not Wealthy until the last 5 minutes of the film.
This is my biggest problem with this fucking trash can of a movie. Now THAT is actual cultural appropriation. And the cherry on the "punk" cake? Having Iggy pops' I wanna be your dog in a uk punk setting in the 70s. Oliver Twist turns into Vivienne Westwood...
The reason Cruella wanted to kill Dalmations in the original: Ohh. Look at their hair. It would make a lovely coat.
Cruella in the remake: These dogs killed my mom.
Not really. In the movie, she finds out early on that the owner of the Dalmatians is the Baroness who called dogs to kill her "mother." Its a revenge story that revolves around a fashion industry. She ends up dognapping the Baroness's dalmatians and making faux coats to scare/anger her and at the end of the movie is the one to own the dogs. If she really wanted to kill them, she would have done so
@@Ms.AllSunday930 Her not killing them makes no sense, she should have killed them, then skinned them and then the ending would have made sense.
@@maylabrown4584 But she already had a dalmatian coat. If you watched it, you'd know XP
@@Ms.AllSunday930 That wasn't an actual Dalmatian coat brainlet, that was a fake Dalmatian coat to trick the Baroness into thinking she skinned her Dalmatians.
To cement her villainy, they should have had her actually skin the Dalmatians.
@@maylabrown4584 Would have been a very fucked up but fitting reinterpretation of the character
Cruella 2: No no no, she's not trying to *skin a puppy,* she wants to join the 1980's industrial rock band, *Skinny Puppy.* Gosh, what a silly mistake you all made, ignore the 60-year legacy of Dalmatian films before this, just consume.
Oh god you're so right..
Who cares, they're all shit probably. Your mentality is why we got the Lion King remake.

Instructions unclear, consumed my vacuum cleaner. Now I am the vacuum.
"The whole point of the movie is to squeeze in as many references as possible, even if they're actively contradicting each other."
- every disney sequel/reboot past 2010
Except for Jungle Book, it’s surprisingly good.
The sequels were bad and contradictory way before 2010 rolled around lol
@@Countdownsmiles Yes just relying on the acting power of Cruella.
@@ForbiddenFollyFollower I was talking about all Disney movies and sequels
@@Countdownsmiles and now they are probably going to make a Cruella sequel
“What if Cruella doesn’t ACTUALLY like Dalmatians, or the aesthetic, or furs, or being eccentric, or being Cruella DeVille, or the black and white hair that she DID NOT choose, what if it’s all out of spite, and none of it is sincere?”
Come ON movie just let her be evil and eccentric, let her kill Dalmatians just to get their drip
Edit: her original character design CLEARLY screams “I chose this,” big long cigarettes, the crazy dyed hair, the big feathery fluffy coats, her wasted away body, like everything about her is meticulously chosen, every piece is SCREAMING all her selfish, vain choices up to the original movie.
And this movie says “k how do we create a tragic, unchosen backstory for every single element of her physical character design”
THIS!!! This is exactly why she’s so terrifying in the original film!
@bilij pdan i mean, they're dogs, and inbreeding is kinda common in purebreeds, yet i get your point... specially considering this is a Disney movie targered as a family production.
I’m glad YMS is moving back to full reviews. The fact that he did over a year or two of “quickies” that often couldn’t even reach 100k views should hopefully be a wake up as to what people like.
@@AlcoholicBoredom most of those quickies were for movies most people would never watch
@@TailsFetish And most people never watched the quickies either.
how can they misinterpret the motivations of the very characters their movie is about this badly. she doesn't hate dalmatians. she loves them. she's fascinated and fixated by their colors. it fits into her drip of white and black, she wants them.
she sees them and obsesses over them like "i *have* to have that" being used to always getting what she wants. she's rich entitled, narcissistic and cruel but also extremely expressive and flamboyant. she's not a very complicated character but she's a good one.
"Not a complicated character but a good one"
_This!_ A lot of people forget that you don't always need an extensive tragic backstory to make a character's motivations work.
I would have much prefered this to be an actual villain movie; no sympathetic moments, just a spoiled brat growing up to be a spoiled bitch ready to murder puppies for a coat. Throw in some interesting fur industry tidbits and 60s economy reflections to fill in the gaps. But no, that would actually be a creative endeavor, much better to with "I want to murder puppies because a boy was mean to me once maybe"
I saw a tv hostess mention that Cruella’s hair being black and white is “exactly what the country needs right now”. As if Cruella’s hair hasn’t been black and white since her inception.
Whaaaat... oh my goodness
Hot topic shit
Give me the sauce for that
buzzword sentence
And then everyone clapped.
That's so sad, Cruella could've been more like a "devil wears Prada" type deal, we watch her scratch and claw to the top of this fashion universe, getting more and more twisted attempting to push the envelope and add shock factor but it drives her insane to where there's no line between animals that "can" be skinned and animals that we see as pets. We could even run into characters that feel the same as she does, almost as if the entire fashion world is agreeing with her and encouraging this sick behavior. This could've been a really good animal rights movie and how corporate greed can lead to nasty and heartless decisions. Where Cruella willingly made those decisions so she's still the villain and not a victim and you may not feel bad for her at the end, but it raises awareness of mass corporations, but Disney couldn't do that, they ARE a massive greedy corporation that makes questionable decisions. It's almost as if they're victimizing themselves like, oh money doesn't drive you insane and rich people aren't greedy, just misunderstood like us. 🙄
And then they also hide behind "hip social issues" like shoddy claims of feminism to appear like they're actually fighting for "women's rights" or "lgbt rights" or other minorities, so people miss the clear fact they're just trying to make people not think rich corporate greed equals bad. And they're trying to make people both not care and also blindly accept rich corporate greed so nobody tries to destroy them when they inadvertently make massive deals with the Chinese government.
U my friend, should've wrote the script.
@@314rft Yeah the whole "girlboss" angle is incredibly manipulative
@play gray
Mulan? Lilo and Stitch? These are made for children but they can easily be enjoyable and interesting to adults?

I think poor Will Smith would feel the same pain with either.
@@azh698 I don't see the connection.
@@cheezemonkeyeater You need to watch EFAP movies Suicide Squad.
I don't know why so many people, even Disney itself think that Cruella hated dogs, the whole point was that she was a fur obsess, she disregarded animal life THAT much, and didn't hesitate to take any fur for the sake of fashion, for art, because that was her life, she didn't have a particular vendetta against animals, she didn't hate them, she just didn't care about them.
*"I live for fur, I worship fur. After all, is there a woman in all this wretched world who doesn't?"*
In this movie, she doesnt hate dalmatians either cause she ends up owning them at the end. She makes a faux coat based on their spots in the middle of the movie to anger/scare the person that owns the dalmatians
@@Ms.AllSunday930 then this movie can't decide on what it wants to say, cause why then have a scene where dalmatians push her mom out of a cliff? Why not have her mom die any other way, or if she has to die by spartan dog, why not any other dogs? Seems like what that scene is trying to convey is "ooooooOOH so that's why she wanted a dalmatian coat! because dalmatians somersault kicked her mom off a cliff!". And why is the dalmatian coat so special in her future if she already made a fake one in this movie? The idea of the coat in both the novel, the original Disney movie and the Glenn Close movie is that it would be a novelty that would look great when combined with Cruella's black and white hair, but here she already made one such coat as a prank? How come when she still believes her mother was yeeted off a cliff by dalmatians she ends up making a fake coat to "haha sike" the Baroness, but then after finding out it was not the dalmatians that killed her mom she eventually decides "no, actually fuck it I want a REAL dalmatian coat".
@@lezard2102 perhaps after she made the dalmation coat, she started desiring real fur coats. Also, the Baroness is her birth mother whom she finds out early on killed her step mother. If you want this Cruella to be the EXACT SAME one from before, then she made the fake coat to scare the Baroness and still had the conscience not to kill real dalmations until she really indulged in furs. You can then say that she hunted down the 101 crew later because they were originally hers and she feels entitled but is secretly beating herself up about letting her 'product' go. I personally think of this Cruella is a separate version. These stories also take place in separate timelines.
@@lezard2102 Also Also, she wasn't getting back at the Baroness just for killing her mother, that's how it started out though. She later found out that the Baroness (A Narcissist) wanted her dead as an infant, and sent her away to die but the person that took her gave her to a person that later became the step mom. Also it was a fashion battle movie. Cruella wanted to steal the attention away from the Baroness because she knew how important it was and then decided she wanted her own label.
@@Ms.AllSunday930 it doesn’t take away how ridiculous this premise of a story is and how we have to solve it on our own with no hints I’m sorry but that’s not a good story or movie just… no.
Disney be like: There aren't inherently evil people, they're just the biproduct of external factors that affects an individual's development
People: What external factors?
Disney: An unidimensional villian of course.
People: What external factors?
Disney: *nervous sweating*
Can’t wait for the origin story for the baroness where we find out that she was a great person and the person who was evil for her was also a good person who faced an evil person who was actually a good person who faced a evil person who was actually an good person who faced a evil person who was actually a good person who faced a good person who was actually a good person so it’s repetitive and the the real villain turns up but they are actually also a good person and the real evil is capitalism now go buy their merchandise
Are you sure that's only Disney and not also Meghan McCarthy?
lololol
Of course disney wants to be like, oh shes totally not a villain, just misunderstood, now watch as we become a copyright nightmare monopoly of a company!~ Were just misunderstood guys!~
Ah yes, the good ol' "She's not evil, just misunderstood."
Wtf is there to misunderstand about wanting to skin 101 puppies for a stupid coat?
this is exactly why the movie was doomed from the start. the very basic idea doesn't work
No, you don't get it; something bad happened to her and she's a victim, see? That makes it okay for her to do bad things and make more victims.
Remember how he says that the movie doesn't justify her actions. THATS THE ENTIRE POINT!
@bodd boward I would love to watch that as a comedy actually
No you see these puppies were actually nazis
They didn’t need an origin story. They could have just made a Cruella spin off where she was already herself and being a massive bitch fashion boss and maybe engaging in some scheme. More like Devil Wears Prada. Stupid to try to make her sympathetic
So a dark comedy?
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Yes it would have been good.
100% they should've made a dark comedy spin-off about her instead of trying to justify her actions and make her some sort of feminist icon?
@@FinnTheBee Cruella is too over the top for a serious movie anyway

How does everyone get this quote wrong? Like... Everyone.
The quote is, "So that's it, huh? We're some kind of... Suicide Squad".
Can't wait for Cruella 2, where Cruella's mom didn't die from falling down the cliff and is now a dog killer who wants help from her daughter to slaughter all dalmations in the world
In space.
na, that's too creative for Disney, they will go with the classic: Cruella suffers a heavy brain injury while she was trying to safe her two friends, that's why they stay by her side despite treating them like trash bc of her amnesia. After seeing Anita's dog it triggers the tragic moment of the death of her mother and want to slaughter those dogs.
Be careful what you wish for, because Disney's already planning a Cruella sequel.
And then Cruella convinces her mom that Dalmatians are actually pretty cool. The End....?
Cant wait for Cruella 2 when it turns out this was just a longwinded fake backstory she told in court for pity after getting arrested for tax evasion.
Sorry but this isn't Cruella. The real Cruella is obsessed with fur and hates animals. The new Cruella wears faux fur and has a cute stray dog. Cruella would NEVER own an animal that isn't purebreed, in fact in the book version she has a white persian cat that each time it gets pregnant she drowns the kittens cause they weren't purebreed.
And since Dalmatians can be mean it woulda been nice to see that maybe some stray Dalmatians attacked her or maybe fictional siblings or bullies from school threw her in a box full of Dalmatians clawing at her or something more comprehensive than what happened in the film to align with her huge hatred for dogs, and specifically that breed. Lmao
The sad thing is there maybe could have actually been an interesting exploration of a character like that. Someone whose so obsessed with purity and image to the point of killing animals. With the right writer behind it, there could have actually been a fun or even interesting movie there but nope.
HAHA I love that YOU think you hold the power to decide what is and isn't cruella when you a) didn't create the character and b) have never been involved with a book, film or tv show adaptation n of the character
@@D4NIELXOXO
What even is that logic? They’re pointing out how the Cruella in the film is contradictory to all other versions of Cruella, especially the original one. In the Artemis Fowl movie fans were pissed off how movie Artemis acted and was portrayed completely different than how he was in the books. Are those fans not allowed to be upset that the movie added a bunch of character traits that are in conflict with how the character is supposed to be?
@@D4NIELXOXO HAHA I love that YOU think you hold the power to decide if someone has the power to decide if something is Cruella or not, when you a) Don’t know this person at all and are making assumptions based on some internet words , and b) Have no knowledge on what logic or thinking is beyond consuming Disney products blindlessly, with each thought that enters your head being a string of less than five words.

It physically makes me weep that the leads for the review of the movie are all about her outfits, and then they give the movie a good score as somehow good wardrobe is the basis for a great movie.
the outfits where the worst part of the movie besides the acting
@@thefunnychiptuneman Now you're just talking out of your ass. The outfits reference a lot of high-fashion consistently and well, and they're definitely worth talking about and appreciating. Easy to dismiss if you're not at least somewhat into haute couture.

@@thefunnychiptuneman You must have missed all the references to McQueen, Galliano, Dior, and similar then. Obviously I wouldn't expect most film-fans to know these, but calling them ugly is disingenuous at best, and trolling at worst.
I just don't understand why Cruella even needed an "origin story" why would I need or want to watch an origin story of a wicked, evil, dog abuser? Her character was done well enough in the movie.
Yeah, she never struck me as a villain with any depth or story to be told. You could get that out of some Disney villains, like Scar or Ursula, but not Cruella.
Because money
That's what I wanted to explian to Disney fanboys when the Trailer was released. People just don't have imagination anymore, the need an origin story *every single shit* otherwise they can appreciate a story.
I think they just wanted to cash in on the "sympathetic backstory for an iconic villain" blueprint that Joker laid out with none of what made that film work.
Damn I’m not a Disney Fanboy but I rly hoped for this movie. I wanted it to be good so badly. I wanted her to be evil, while still being loved by society. but nooo they had to pull a Joker.
I’m still baffled on how a murdering puppy killer is displayed as “female empowerment”?
We truly live in a society....
Harley Quinn has blown up kids and she is seen as a "feminist icon".
well they rewrote her character entirely so that she doesn't actually do that anymore but that's arguably a problem in and of itself. definitely a strange choice
Modern day feminism in general has some...very questionable things that count as "female empowerment" according to them.
@@dime-a-thousand8002 by whom, tumblr
I can’t believe they took a “love to hate” villain and tried to make them relatable. Oh she was BORN with multicoloured hair.. that makes sense, I assumed it was just part of her fashion statement as a famous fashion designer. My bad.
"Born with multicoloured hair" gives me terrible self-insert OC vibes 😂
In the book she was born with the hair but she was literally evil from birth in there
I feel like since the "Marvel era", movies are just about stuffing as many references in as possible. "Oh, I recognize that!" makes the viewer happy, like a little child who hears something again that he learned of previously.

@@finkamain1621 ikr, and the prequels sucked big time. that just shows how much of a failure cruella is.

There are MILLIONS of fully grown adults that still need the reminder unfortunately.

Yet this film is rated PG-13.
@Levi Thompson Missed opportunity to call it The Deville Mobile
I remember the musical Twisted, which parodied these kinds of stories (specifically Wicked) by telling Aladdin from Jafar's perspective, had a big musical number about every Disney villain having a point, only to end with a punchline of "except Cruella de Vil."
Clearly, they were right.
The UA-cam video of that song (which I believe was called “Twisted”) is littered with the same “ah, Disney got its head backwards” comment.
I want to see a Hannibal Lecter movie similar to Cruella. Where Hannibal as a child accidentally bites someone and this the reason he becomes a cannibal. He wore a party mask and now wears peoples faces. In the movie, Hannibal is a good guy and the film has a message. Don't eat animals and look for alternatives to eat.
Wasn’t there one close to that?
@@elliotwilson7050 I have not seen the movie of Hannibal Rising but I do know in the book he is essentially fed his own sister by his captors as a child and he has to eat it to survive and so he decides he must eat his captors in return.

There has to be a scene where Hannibal Lecter sees someone in a restaurant ordering fava beans and a nice chianti and goes "I like the sound of that."

I hate the trend the musical *Wicked* made popular: a misunderstood villain who’s telling _their_ side of the story
Agreed. It kinda ruins what makes a villain a villain. It tries to make a villain a hero and it just doesnt really work
@@Uhohlisa munee
@@Uhohlisa Why wouldn't they? After all, the movie is getting made regardless so you might as well take a piece of the pie for yourself. Not like this movie is going to convince me that Emma Stone is a bad actress.
never saw wicked but they probably had something to work with before others copied them over. and by others i mean just disney.
I'm fine with the villain being a hero in their own mind and how that can improve a character, but we don't need it for every villain.
Oddly enough, they took one of Disney's few "pure evil" villains into the Maleficent movie when these are the characters who should be left alone. Nuanced characters are a fun treat, but treats aren't really treats if you make them every meal
What if Estella started as a sweet young veterinarian who, after watching hundreds of dogs suffering and being euthanized, begins to lose her mind, and decides to immortalize them by turning their skins into a dress that would last for decades?
Maybe she starts by taxidermying her beloved Dalmatian pet when he passes away. Over time, she begins to pick up sick stray dogs in order to "put them out of their misery", avoiding the horrible conditions at animal shelters, and taxidermying them too. Finally, feeling as if all animals are better off dead, so they don't suffer, she warms up to the idea of the dress, ending the puppies' suffering before it even begins.
idk it's not easy to come up with a sympathetic origin story for a character who skins puppies.
and then she decided to start an organization, and she called it PETA
I guarantee you that that's better than anything the writers of this shit have ever come up with. Correct that it is not easy to turn a puppy skinner into a sympathetic character, but your story at least sounds somewhat plausible.

The movie: here’s why she hates Dalmatians.
Me: but… but she never hated Dalmatians…?
Even OG Cruella wasn't some canine-phobe or somesuch. She just wanted a spotted fur coat and didn't give a fuck about how to get it, thus hiring criminals. That's why she was the villain. She didn't care about the puppies. Callousness, not resentment.
@a litle creacher The real villain was the unethical fashion practices we made along the way.
From what it looks like it seems like she starts to like them by the end, I mean if she doesn’t even hurt them, and if that is the case, then what the hell is going to happen when they get to the main story?
She doesn't hates Dalmatians in the movie ...

"The Critic: Here's why she hates Dalmatians
The movie and people that actually watched it: But she.. never hated dalmatians.. ? "
"WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MELANIN?" I'm dying
It’s try tho. He’s clearly biracial but he turned into a white man by adulthood 😂
Also why did they race swap Anita?
@@FJB2020LGB For the same reason that the kid grew up to be white: Disney does not give two shits about anything even resembling racial sensitivity and their constant flip-flopping, pandering and goading in this regard is nothing more than the financial machinations of a soulless multinational mega-corp. Thank God most people don’t buy it or else The Little Mermaid would’ve done better at the box office.
Honestly had they just told the story of a girl who has high ideas of fashion, but is blocked by those above her, so she needs to pull off stunts using a character to make a name for herself and get people to like her clothes
Would have made more sense
They don’t need to justify her hatred of puppies, they only need to establish her as uncaring about animal lives and willing to go to any lengths to create her designs.
Exacly. I think people forget that in the original movie both her coat and bag are make of real furr, and it's not dalmatian fur. They could have added a tidbit with being uncaring towards dogs but keeping it geneneric ''I don't really care about animals'' and their use in her fashion designs would have been enough.
What I also think would be cool with that idea is if she slowly became the caricature character herself. Like, her identity just became pulling off stunts and being wild, and she stopped acting normal in private. Losing sight of her true self in the pursuit of fame.
But then she wouldn’t be a likeable protagonist that Disney can make like 10 sequels about later on lol.
All of this is actually smart so of course Disney wouldn't do it.
They could show her descent as she develops fashion tunnel vision, stepping on whoever and whatever she needs to get to the top - she can have setbacks or a rivalry but win in the end and still have a conclusion. She just wins by becoming a monster. And she owns it. That's all you need.

It's THAT simple.

Not every movie that you don't like is a copy of joker. Read something about writing film scripts 👍
@@olborat Did you even read what he said? Because your comment makes absolutely no fucking sense whatsoever.
Right? We could see her starting off as a fairly normal person and how she became friends with Anita, and then see how the fame and fortune of the fashion industry slowly corrupts her, with Anita as her foil as someone who works towards their dream without compromising their morals. It could have been a more adult story instead of this wacky mess, but it feels like Disney didn't know who they were targeting. Besides marketers, I guess.
@@danzig3462 oddly enough I never watched that film. I only used Joker as a base since it's more or less a villain origin story in which we are meant to root for the title character.

"The Devil."
"Right then, Cruella Deville it is."
Lol, I hated how they fucking played Sympathy for the Devil right at the De Vil part... I turned off my brain for the movie as much as possible but the soundtrack ripped me out of it so hard.
If Cruella *actually* skinned the Baroness’s Dalmatians and turned them into a fur coat for one of her galas, that would have been Titus Andronicus levels of unmerciful revenge.
Too bad she’s a “villain”.
No, see, she's not a "villain," she's a stongk, induhpenduhnt, umpoowerd wahmyn (who duhn't nreeed no mahyun (except for the ones she keeps as lackeys)) who gets to be as vindictive as possible but never has to face the consequences of her actions, but it's okay and you're supposed to sympathize and even root for her because she has a Freudian excuse.
And they're trying to portray her as a feminist icon... When actually, she's a perfect icon of feminism.
*Thank you* for acknowledging Glenn Close's epic performance, that gets slept on so hard imo
The 90's remake version may not be the best movie but Glenn Close is the BEST Cruella that could ever been shown on the screen. I can't think of another actress who could have played her better. Emma Stone did the job that was given to her but she is not Cruella to me.This whole movie was fan service but not done right.
Yeah Glen closes cruella is ham incarnate and i love it she looks like she's having so much fun j
The post credits scene with cruella giving them dogs makes absolutely no sense. If she already had the Dalmatians... and wanted to make a coat from them... why would she give them away??
Haha because this cruella would never hurt a dog because she’s good cruella is a good guy you guys she’s good she’s a good g-
Forget about consistency.
Look at the black lady getting a puppy
So the dogs owners can have a chance meet and the dogs would reproduce of something, idk I never watched the movies.
Because every aspect of the films needs to be explained because disney is targeting a demographic of protozoa
Here's another terrible implication they hadn't thought of. If the puppies came from her dalmatians, that means in this movie Pongo and Perdita are.... Siblings.
They should have written it basically like 'The Devil Wears Prada', except Cruella ends up being even worse than Miranda by the end.
Yes exactly! They could have had her and Anita as foils to eachother to make a statement about the fashion industry and how people try to get ahead any way necessary.
Guess that's the closest we'll ever get to a Devil Wears Prada sequel :/
Nah it should have been like 'There Will Be Blood' except instead of oil it's uh...fashion? Ok I haven't seen it but your movie is probably better.
In 102 Dalmatians they do hint at the dark side of the fashion industry. There is a scene where one of Cruelella's soon to be henchman is attacked by protesters who throw red paint at him while yelling murderer at him. I also recommend the movie Greed which talks about how bad the fashion industry can be.

Honestly it makes me so upset some of the Disney remakes have a lot of potential and literally every single one falls flat, none of them understand what make the originals so great in the first place, and instead of fleshing out the world or character, or maybe fixing plot holes or mistakes they just add a bunch of useless references and idiotic ideas that completely ruin the movie. It’s so embarrassing that you (Disney) have the biggest film industry in the world, billions of dollars at your fingertips, some of the most talented writers, directors, actors, animators and editors and all that comes out of it is consistent shit. Disney is no longer the place you go for good movies, they haven’t made an original movie that’s good in soooo long, especially an animated movie which is fucking pathetic figuring it’s an animation company! These Remakes make me angrier and angrier with each passing day I’m sorry for this long rant :,)
my exact same thoughts! it baffles me how in every oportunity they always decide to put their money in what ends up as a pile of trash, prob because they know it will bring back more than double of what they invested, nostalgia sells sadly. Also, Nanamineee ♡

@@cjamesmcgregor you're right LOL
Cruella got him fired. It is explicitly stated. Like they go out of the way to make sure you're aware of this. He lied to you.
@@augustjsb did you mean to reply to me?
Yes. The reviewer lied to you. He actively left out clearly presented information in order to force this point.
Honestly the biggest problem I see is that the whole concept is a missed opportunity. Instead of a sympathetic backstory on Cruella, why not be a story of Cruella and Anita's relationship. In the animated film, it was stated they knew each since their school days. Maybe they started out as genuine friends who had dreams of becoming fashion designers. But over the course of the film, we see the two have different takes on fashion---with Cruella being really extreme due to how she treats animals. I can't come up with the full details at the moment but overall it could be a plot about toxic friendships and how it can be very rough on the person (Anita) who is taken advantage of or being abused by whose supposed to be their friend (Cruella). In the end of this story, it could lead to Anita walking her dog Perdita to the park to try and clear her mind temporally which then leads to the scene from the animated film where she and her dog meet Roger and Pongo. She finds someone who understands her and cares about her. Again this is just a general idea. What do you guys think?
I like it. Definitely more interesting than focusing on the weird minutae of why Cruella is who she is in the other movie, but not really.
AGREED
Sounds fantastic, which is exactly why Disney would never do it. Compelling character relationships? Exploring deep themes? Not these days, friends...
It could have been a similar vibe to Devil Wears Prada, with Cruella being like Miranda and Anita like Andy. The idea of people losing their morals to succeed could have been really cool with those two as foils.
This, this should have been the movie instead
fun fact: when i was a dumbass kid and watched the 1960's 101 dalmatians, I thought cruella had _cloned_ the puppies. i didn't really know what cloning was nor did I know the term cloning, but it never occurred to me that she just kidnapped them. the process in my head for how she got all those puppies was essentially cloning them
"I guess she just made more puppies."

All of these weird "explain everything" backstory movies would be infinitely better as tongue-in-cheek comedies. Cruella's hair being naturally black and white and her dyeing it could be a great beat in a Robot Chicken-type sketch. Same with Han getting named Solo by a random administrator.
Why does she want to kill Dalmations
“Because they killed her parents”
Just nut up and make her a mean, evil spirited person, who does what she does because she feels like it. An evil person doesn’t need a reason for his/her actions. The Major in Hellsing Ultimate doesn’t need a reason for what he’s doing, he does what he does because he loves war and loves seeing people fight and die. And everyone loves him for it.
Now imagine if they made a prequel story for the Major, showing how he was originally a good guy and everything he did later was because of some trauma or other, that’d utterly ruin his character and indeed his strength as a character. And what you’ve got now is a completely different character who shares some minor traits and similarities.
Hell, there are evil characters with more complexities and reasons behind being evil (which I think would make a better story, or at least a longer movie) but they aren't _excuses_ . That's the problem: Disney keeps making movies about "why villains are actually good" instead of "why this villain is evil" or just "here's more about this villain", but they don't have the guts to make a protagonist be evil even if the movie is ostensibly supposed to be a "VILLAIN MOVIE".
@@KyoshiLonehearted "See, rich people aren't the bad guys. Rich people are the HeRoEs."
Its because the current trend is "Anti-heros" or "complex villains". There's this idea that someone can't be just a horrible fucking person, no they have to be this character that the audience wants to root for but can't for reasons....

One thing that's getting on my nerves lately is backstories for villain's. I want an asshole villain origin story, no sympathy what so ever. They're just fucking evil for no reason other than it's in their nature.
Just see it like a revamp of a marvel character, because the movie doesn't explain at all why she would be super evil later ( it basically just explains the nature of her aesthetic choices )
I mean, I don't want evil for evil's sake. You can make a morally black villain interesting without making them a silly cartoon character, look at Frollo (who's ironically a cartoon character).
Not to be that guy, but that’s why I like most Jojo Villains, they’re mostly just irredeemable assholes. The first villain kicks and kills a dog for no reason in the first episode.
@@morningbell3690 Jojo is also a borderline comedy. But Dio gets more depth later and Pucci and Valentine has lots of depth
So it’s be a person spreading misery and enjoying it with no likable qualities? How does that sound fun or entertaining
The soundtrack is definitely compensating, literally my own mother told me she wanted to watch the movie because she heard “the soundtrack is so good” like holy fuck mom, I’ll pay for you Spotify subscription im sure there are a dozen of playlists with those songs
Don't really blame that point, soundtracks are powerfull and can definitely make and break something, but thing with Cruella is why its used. I mean i love Deep Purple, Stones, Queen, not Clash and what other artists were there, but they were there just to say 'we have Rolling Stones' They fit the period, so in a sence its fitting and has the same role as a composed would have, but its most likely there just to cathc few more people, even if its good.
I like how they explain everything that doesn’t need an explanation, but when it comes to something that does (like her hair colors) they don’t give an explanation.

How about instead of making the Cruella origin story about her being misunderstood, they just make it about how she got famous, it would be an unlikable protagonist story.
This is what I wanted the movie to be, too. I would actually really, REALLY enjoy seeing a movie with a villain as the protagonist, but still committing their usual vile deeds. (Protagonist doesn't mean "good person," it just means the person that the story is centered around. But clearly Disney didn't know that.)
These Disney remakes/prequels where the whole point is just “look it’s the thing you know” is just the modern version of those early 2000 spoof movies where the whole plot is just “wow it’s iron man, it’s Kung fu panda, look at all these things you know”
Xwing. TIE-Fighter. Things I know.
Two things scare me -How bad the film is and people saying "I was skeptical but it's actually good" and the generally positive feedback which is basically a giant green light to Disney to keep squeezing out more shitty remakes.
TRUE my friends were obsessing over it, though to be fair they also thought mulan 2020 wasnt a disgrace
It benefitted a lot from getting into theatres right as vaccination numbers are getting high enough for people to want to go to the movies again. Like back in May a friend and I were wondering what was out for us to return to theaters to and the answer was "Cruella" or "Saw"
Eh. I haven't been a fan of the majority of the Disney live action remakes, but I personally really enjoyed this one. Don't get me wrong, Adum's review was great and hilarious, and can understand and even agree with most of the points he makes, and that others have with the film. I still surprisingly found it very entertaining and way more unique than the other Disney Remakes (not saying much but still). Flawed, but much better than a "2/10" imo. Far more charm and personality than the Lion King and Mulan remakes.
As long as popcorn munching masses accept garbage schlock as good entertainment, the corporation will keep printing money. Luckily Hollywood is slowly falling out of favour.
It's so sad that people eat up anything with Disney written on it. Just make them remember movies from their childhood, make it edgy in order to make it more 'adult' and 'deep' and people will view it uncritically and love it
It kinda seems like they just don't know how to make the main character sympathetic and easy to connect too while still being evil, so they just...didnt really make her evil
She still has room to change as I see it. Shes rather young in this movie, compared to her other versions. She also just started embracing Cruella as her own so overtime, she may become crueller. Shes already shown signs of selfish behavior and obsession. This may make her a narcissist as her true mother was. We may like who she us now while she has a conscience, but we can always hate what she becomes. The faux Dalmatian coat could be her downfall into a spiral of fur addictions. Admiring her work and then wanting more extravagant furs until she starts to crave Authenticity. This will then cause her to chase the 101 Dalmatians as they were originally her "products" that she gave away; feeling entitled to them.
@@Ms.AllSunday930 Here's to hoping that you're right.
Amazing how it works on sopranos, dexter and breaking bad. You can make horrible characters interesting and engaging
Don’t forget the part where they kidnapped the dogs so she can examine their shit to get her family necklace back.
Also, so Pongo and Perdita are from the same batch? That’s…. :V
the only thing worse than human incest, DOG incest
Nah, pretending that the movie takes the dogs for no reason is better for his review.
@@augustjsb but what happened was worse? Why you being mad when there was still a reason he explained?
@@cameronroy2129 he actively misrepresented the movie and spent 20 minutes lying about it to justify it. People have different tastes in movies, that's fine. But he doesn't get to pretend to be superior when he treated his audience worse than he pretends Disney did. He claims Disney is a soulless movie maker, but leaves out about an hour worth of footage so he can then lie to everyone who put their trust in him.
@@augustjsb just say you liked the movie and move on dude
I love how Cruella was marketed to be a role model to little girls. Oh Disney, you do never fail to put a smile on my face.
The 90s live action was fun, it didn't take itself too seriously but most importantly Glenn Close made the movie memorable with her performance of a horrible villain with charisma. Stop making villains boring! Yes I'm including Joker in this
I watched that movie as a kid and Glenn Close really did scare me. I always flinched whenever she shouted at someone, it kind of traumatized me now that I think about it, which makes her performance even better lol.
Yessss
Joker wasn't boring though...
@@Chris-ci8vs It is, specially compared to older portraits of Joker.
Modern Joker is just the equal to those lame crying clown paintings... It wants to be taken seriously yet fails miserably.
@@user-is7xs1mr9y The teaser trailer for the 2nd 101 Dalmatians film always scared me as a kid. Can’t believe theaters played it honestly lol.
*a random character acts badly to Cruella*
Friend: "That was pretty evil!!"
Cruella: "Evil ... hmmmm. Interesting."
“What happened to the melanin??” Had me rolling
