  • The Descendants series is back! With horrible plotholes, forgettable songs, and Rita Ora for some reason? Out of Wonderland comes our new main VK hero, Red, as she messes with time and our eyeballs with all these bright, monochromatic outfits.
    Here are some of the most fun/interesting reviews of Descendants 4 that I found on Letterboxd. Enjoy! (some reviews have been edited by me for length purposes)

    okay i'll humor you. but why would she have dyed hair? if she was out of the tower her hair would be brown and short.
    also, she shows up when uma's sister falls into the fountain and she laughs. honestly she wouldn't do that.

      I don’t think the cast was bad, I just think that the script was not great (it had potential but I get the feeling that the writers had Disney breathing down their necks the whole time) and the costume department needed a budget of more than 15 bucks per wig. Not to mention that it kinda just breaks some of the established canon of the universe, but to be fair it’s not like Descendants media is well known for maintaining its canon (* cough cough * the books * cough cough *)

    Theory about the plot of Descendants Rise of Red and potential sequel to it if there is one.
    (Possible spoilers of the movie? I don't know.)
    Hear me out... what if the Fairy Godmother did it? What if she put the curse on Bridget? It kind of makes sense, she couldn't do any spells and yet Bridget could. Ella was her best friend and probably wouldn't help the villains. However, maybe the villains could've easily manipulated the Fairy Godmother, like how Mal convinced Jane to steal the magic wand for her own desires in the first Descendants movie. Since the spell book opens for those who are not villains or those who are good, they could use Fairy Godmother to open the book so they could have access to spells. We probably also don't see Fairy Godmother for a lot of the movie, not even during the plot or when the villains first appear. So this could make sense if they're trying to make a sequel where they show the actual villain. Or maybe, the Fairy Godmother could confess that she helped the villains curse Bridget. Not entirely sure if it really makes sense, but it is a good theory. Let me know what y'all think.

  • @happyderp2282

    K, so to preface my critique of this children's movie for children, I'll clarify that I am a guy in his early 20s who recently watched though all four movies with his twin tweenage sisters because they asked me to. So, yeah, I am very *not* the target audience for a movie like this, and I'm not attached to the world and characters like fans of the series are. I did think 1 and 3 were pretty nice though.
    I agree with pretty much every comment in the video (especially the one about the finale being cut, that *absolutely* happened). But what disappointed me the most was Red's character. If I could change anything about the OG Descendants movies, it would be to make the VKs more evil at the start. Like, aside from the love-potion laced cookie (which is nullified almost immediately), none of the VKs ever actually do anything particularly evil. Like, the snooty royal kids are *clearly* worse, and they don't really try to hide it. I know that's kind of the point, and the third movie does do a lot to point out the double standard, but when the VKs decide to "change" at the end of the first movie I wasn't really sure what they were changing from. Like, they were all clearly uncomfortable with their parents' plan from the get-go, and they never seemed like they were actually going to do it. It felt almost victim-blame-y to me. What'd they have to be sorry for?
    Anyway, the fact that the "Villain-Kids" were never really villains is fine and serves the story well enough. But what I wanted from RoR was to see a VK that was actually *evil* to start with. As is, she comes off as really wishy-washy about the whole "world domination" thing, but not in the way the original VKs were. The OGs were conflicted about taking over the world, whereas Red just seems largely unbothered by it. Her main issues with her mom don't really come from the fact that she casually and gleefully murders people, she just thinks she's kind of a nag. In the beginning, Red sidesteps ordering the execution of the commander guy, which might make you think she has a problem with murder. But then, not ten minutes later, she orders the execution of Cinderella just because Cinderella said she wouldn’t. It was a petty "Ha! That'll show her!" moment, but involving a murder, which would actually be fine by me if she stuck to her guns afterwards. But no, she's *immediately* remorseful, which is not what I would expect from someone who was A-OK with literal murder thirty seconds ago. Red had more to work with than Chloe when it came to motivation and backstory, but it felt like the writers couldn’t decide whether they wanted a rebel or a dictator.
