    It's such a shame about the drama that went down between Decedents and Ever After High. Because ultimately the death of Ever After High isn't due to Descendants, it's the marketing crew of Descendants, who did everything in their shady power to push Ever After off to the side. :/ They could have shared the attention, but no, Disney corp had to be petty.

      That makes 0 sense. Ever after high is nickelodeon and descendants is disney. Mattel didn't even make descendants dolls, if that's what you're talking about. It was thought that Mattel lost the disney license because of the poor quality of the princess dolls and because descendants coming up would be a conflict of interest with eah. Basically, what I'm saying is that it is impossible for the marketing crew for descendants to push ever after high to the side, since hasbro made descendants dolls and Mattel made eah

    My favorite low-key thing about _Queen Of Mean_ (aside from literally _everything_ about it) is actually that she changes her hair subtly to look a bit more like Mal's, showing that she's doing all of this because she's jealous of her, and rather than trying to be the exact opposite of this person she hates, she's trying to embody her in a desperate attempt to get people to finally like her, which is all she really wants.

    Audrey (the one from the last song) is basically what Apple White could have turned into if she (Apple) was an actual mean girl. Both girls had their future pretty much figured out, but when the one that was supposed to be the villain of their story decided to pursue what they really wanted, they put at risk their future. With Apple, she needed Raven to be evil so she could have her happily ever after, something that was put at risk when the latter decided to change her fate. With Audrey, she was perfectly happy with the future that awaited her until Mal (who was the daughter of her mother's villain) appeared and took that future from her. However, Audrey, unlike Apple (who is unknowingly selfish but still good-hearted and kind), used to be spoiled and bratty and, together with the pressure placed on her, decided to become the villain in order to take what she believed was hers.

    Generally, Disney Descendants 2 have the best songs. It deserves a Grammy.
    Next time, you should try "Ways To Be Wicked" and "You And Me" (D2), "Do What You Gotta Do" (D3), and maybe for fun "Evil Like Me" (D1).
    10:23 For context of this song "Chilling Like A Villain" is to learn to this no-villain kids how to act in order to not be caught by the people from the Isle of the Lost, full of Villains.
    15:20 You didn't noticed it but in this part, the blue boy is stealing something to each of the three others to prove he understood how to be a villain.

We truly don’t see enough of the parents or the core 4’s lives before they left the isle. They also just rlly made Carlos less intelligent in the films when HE was the one who broke a whole through the barrier and him being a literal genius was a big part of his character in the books.

    I’m always taken aback when I see people I watch acknowledge Descendants cause it was literally my entire personality for years. I genuinely had an unhealthy obsession with it. I found old texts with a friend where she was like “can we please talk about something other than Descendants?” And I said No. I also still have 6 cardboard cutouts of the characters in my room. Over 30 books 70+ dolls multiple posters and insane amount of random collectibles including backpacks notebooks perfumes cups shirts board games dvds cds pens jewelry wigs bedsheets and pillows I’d buy costumes and clothing of it even though they didn’t have my size. amongst other random things….. I have other interests now. :)

  • @kikig6318
    @kikig6318 10 месяцев назад +14

    Added context:
    The first song you listened to (What's My Name) is the villain song of that movie so of course it needs to slap and be among the best of the Descendants series.
    The second song (Rotten To The Core) sets up the four main characters we follow in the movie series, introducing them to us and giving us small bits of their personalities at this point through their actions and lyrics (such as how Jay is a bit of a kleptomaniac, Mal is a bit of an artist as we see her painting graffiti, Evie is self centered shown by her walking on the table without caring for those using it, etc). It also does let the audience know that even though they're kids of big villains in the Disney universe, they haven't had the chance to do really bad things beyond basic teenage hooliganism due to their situation and also gives us an inkling that though they believe they're bad and that they have the potential to be, they aren't quite at that point of no return and thus have potential for being good.
    The third song (Chilling Like a Villain) goes with Andrew's context, but they aren't married, just in a relationship that put her in the spotlight. Mal believed she had to be perfect which clashed with who she is as she's not a stereotypical princess, and due to the stress of this she ran away back to the island (it's easy to get in but harder to get out due to the veil). Her friends and her boyfriend followed to try to convince her to come back and the song is pretty much them trying to teach the king how to blend in so they don't get caught (they haven't been too popular there since leaving) and so they also don't get killed. As for the tech, I think it's implied that their technology is run mainly on magic, so while the mainland advanced, the villain island (which has no magic) stayed as it was. A real-world comparison could be a country that's in self-isolation only depending on itself and not having contact with the rest of the world, whereas other countries share info, tech, and goods thus pushing development and progress. The king also gave them back their own phones, showing that he is learning as he was able to steal from them without them noticing.
    The final song (Queen of Mean) is pretty much what Apple White from EH could've become if she had really been a mean girl. Basically a "typical high school bully/mean girl that has potential to be good falls to become a villain" song and definitely my favorite song of the third movie.
    I definitely recommend watching the movies. They give so much context to the songs and the songs sometimes take on new meaning with that added story. Plus a lot of the weird moments oddly make sense. The series can be cringy at times, but it's kind of part of its charm in a way. Some of the people who worked on the High School Musical series worked on these and you can kinda see it in the song sequences as they're shot and choreographed as if they were music videos at times.

It's because EAH was created to sell dolls, and the dolls weren't selling anymore, they were just creating it and losing money on it, so they decided to stop. I think that Descendants kinda played a part in the series stopping, but mostly it was for the dolls!
