r/Descendants

I am obsessed with the children-of-fairytale-characters trope. I don’t care if people think it’s played out I love it. I’m literally writing a book with that trope right now. Every time I watch or read something with it in media, I automatically connect it to Descendants, because why not? It’s my favorite thing to do.

Hook has three daughters and a son? Great—add Neal Jr. from Once Upon a Time in there too.

Maleficent and Hades have Mal and Hadie? Great let’s throw in Faybelle Thorn from Ever After High too. I don’t care if Ever After High uses the Brothers Grimm versions.

And I will keep doing this until Generations are filled does OCs count of course they count

I’m sure you’ve all heard the line, “Perfect princess nepo babies.” This line, as well as the whole song, has been getting some heat. I’ve been seeing a lot of people online saying that the point of Descendants is that they’re ALL nepo babies, and to me, that’s just not true. Especially with Max Hatter.

A nepo baby reaps from the benefit of their parent’s wealth, fame, and in this case, royal status. But the Mad Hatter never had any royal status and lacks all this power. There’s an argument that because the Mad Hatter is well-known, Max would be a nepo baby, but again, there’s nothing really to be gained by being a descendant of the Mad Hatter. Maybe if Max followed in his daddy’s footsteps and also became a tutor he’d be a nepo baby lol. Ooh what a perfect princess nepo baby he’d be.

Not sure if anyone cares to much but I have a whole set of em very lovely dolls and I was wondering if anyone else still buys em I started 2023 I have a lot now and I wonder if anyone still buys em to collect over time my old friends stopped and saw others do the same and sold em all and I just wanna know if I’m the only one who cares to buy and collect em still🥲 if u do how much do u own? And if u want share what’s ur fave ones ☺️🎀 mines are Carlos and red and mal they have great styles!

What if Royal Prep is the primary school/elementary school for the children in Auradon and then Ever realm Academy is the middle school (even though Sofia goes to Charmswell, most would go to Ambers royal school) and then Auradon Prep is the high school and then there is Auradon University. This could easily make sense as the three fairies are headmistresses like Fairy Girmother is and Sofia is a sequel to all princess films similar to descendants. Enchancia could easily be one of the states of Auradon.

However, how old would Sofia be in descendants because I would love for her to become a live action teen character in the next trilogy following her middle school royal magic adventure. BUT, since she meets the princesses likely before they have children and she has maybe a 10 year age gap between the princesses she is most likely around 30 in descendants so possibly has her own royal baby.

Theres so many things I will never forgive Disney for doing to descendants 1.The Harry hook and Gil Gaston kiss 😭 2.Chloe and Zellie storyline they could have made history with the first same Gender kiss in a Disney channel movie ! That damn mouse !Disney had a same gender couple in andimack Tyrus (Cyrus and Tj) but Disney canceled that and their was no kiss.Disney had four chances but they cancel everything

Maleficent was the enchantress in the (original) trilogy . It's the reason why Beast claimed she was the worst villain of all them. It would make 'when I was your age I was cursing entire kingdoms' makes since

I loved the original trilogy so much, that I couldn't even begin to start with how obsessed with them I was growing up. There was a point in my life where I could recite the entire Descendants 2 script, and would perform it for my friends at recess, I had all the books, not just the Isle of the Lost ones, and I still have my Mal, Evie, Uma, and makeshift Dizzy costumes tucked away in my mom's closet. So, even though I was already a sophomore in high school when they announced the cast, I was excited to hear about Merlin Academy, because I had assumed it was like a Descendants Prequel where we get to see what the villains were like when they were teens. I was kinda disappointed to find out it was actually a sequel, but I tried it out anyways because I thought that it coming out on the day of my 17th birthday was a sign for me to watch it regardless, but I was disappointed to see how it actually turned out.

Not only was the writing and plot development awful (seriously, why would you repeatedly bring up a problem, solve it, then give us no actual pay off?), the costuming looked cheap and unnatural, they used the same 4 sets for everything, the characters are completely one dimensional, the songs were used to replace dialouge instead of provide actual insight into a characters traits, motivations, or inner monolouge, no major life lessons were learned in the end, and it completely violated the world building that was already established.

I said that, even if onlt considered conceptually, it would've been better as a spin off than a sequel, but was labeled as a sequel because of Disney's greed regarding franchising. But overall, it wasn't even a good film, even when considered as a standalone, because, just speaking in general filmography, its just bad and even worse in context.

I dont think Im being too harsh, or not considering the "Its so bad, its good" factor, because I tend to be the kind of person who defends movies that are widely considered as bad movies. I mean, my comfort movie is Camila Cabello's Cinderella, for goodness' sake. But I still get a lot of backlash for not liking the movie. I also dont think its simple nostalgia either, because I could still point out productional issues I have with the original movies, but they arent bad enough to take away from the movies themselves, because at least the movies still follow the barebone skeleton of plot development and musical structure, which is the least a movie could do. Even bad movies with production values cheaper than a good value couch still have complete plots. Is it really just me who cant look past all of that??

He was supposed to be the son of Aladdin and Jasmine. He was shown in the original script and they had an actor but he was deleted from the movie. Was the ere ever a reason why and had his actor ever talked about being deleted?

It's hard to be excited for a movie that nearly everyone in and out of the fandom hates because of one line from a song. Dear god the whole song isn't even bad but we all gotta harp on that one part and say Descendants is dead, and the whole movie is bad, and anyone who likes it is "reta****" (Actual comment i saw btw).

Look you can love the original three and not like what came next, that's fine and good. But you can also like things and acknowledge that they have flaws and arent as good as what came before, but the internet doesn't know what that is and only focuses on overly loving or hating something.

Actually no Internet, i'm not gonna judge a whole unreleased movie based on one "bad" line from a song. I'm gonna watch it, digest it, and make my own opinions. If i love it good, if i don't oh well.

Coming from someone who honestly liked D4 (while ackowleding it's flaw), I was excited to see what comes next...... but god forbid being excited cause the slightest bit of positive opinion on D5 leads to an overwhelming amount of hate. I can't even look up D5 without the first thing popping up being hate.

Tl:dr- too much hate for an unreleased movie, people arent allowed to have opinions outside the majority. When D5 comes out imma just watch it and have fun, i'm just so tired.

Will Felix be part of hazel’s crew or like Celia me be on the good side
