r/Descendants

His most recent post, slide 2. Liamani and Malia arrive on the carpet, and Kylie and Liamani embrace in a hug. Kylie goes to embrace Malia who snarls (best word I could come up with), then brushes by her and awkwardly stands next to her. Then tries to move away from her as they keep taking photos.

but there’s no kylia drama….

At this point, it’s getting ridiculous because there’s so much hate for the new movie, which is aimed toward a new generation of Descendants fans, by the way! If you’re not going to watch the movie, why do you care what the songs sound like or what the movie looks like? I actually want to know.
And I don’t want to hear the “They’re ruining the franchise I grew up on” or “Descendants lost the plot” arguments. I need something new, because the first three movies are still on Disney+ to watch anytime. So watch them and stop complaining. Y’all are too old to be hating on a kids’ franchise. Yes, the first movie came out when we were kids, but it’s still a kids’ franchise. STOP IT!

And the hate for “Perfect Princess” is crazy too.
Max Hatter is the grandson of the Mad Hatter and the son of Maddox hatter . He is NOT the Mad Hatter, FYI.

Also, the same arguments keep getting repeated:
“It’s cringy.”
“It’s too modern for Descendants.”
Descendants has ALWAYS had modern slang.
Examples:
Celia called Ben Mal’s “bae” in D3.

Dude literally said “amazeballs.” In D3.

Chad called Evie a “gold digger.” In D1

So yes, modern language in Descendants is not new.

And to the people saying it’s “too cringy”… do y’all not remember Ben’s solo in “It’s Going Down”? Or “Night Falls”when Mal said:
“Suit of armor, strong and true, make this metal bust a move.” And they started doing those dances

Cringy moments are NOT new for Descendants either 😭
If you’re stuck on nostalgia, just say that!

I fully understand the OG fans who miss the feel and vibe of the songs from the original three movies. What I'm not understanding is why so many people are bothered by him calling the princesses nepo babies. I thought it was funny af and completely accurate. Royalty is literally nepotism. And don't even get me started on the complaints about his movements as if he's not the Mad Hatters son. I personally love to hate. Im a certified hater. But I genuinely am not understanding the hate this is getting and would love to know what Im missing. No judgment, just curiosity

Not exactly sure if you seen Wicked World (so I put in a spoiler) but in episode 3 it's revealed Jane has powers (due to being Fairy Godmothers daughter) so why on Earth was it only mentioned in this episode and not afterwards like in Descendants 2 & 3 or like in future episodes?

This always confuses me, like is Wicked World cannon or not?

Also I'm sorry if this HAS been asked, I'm new here and I don't usually post much.

Rexommend some of the best descendants fanfic you find (ao3, fanfic.net etc)

Better if they are written with a realistic representation of how they are, not like "im suffered the most, feel pitty for me, i have so many traumas.

I'm sorry but did the makers of the film throw the lore out of the window because in the first descendants Chad is the son of Cinderella and prince charming so what happened to him ??? And Ben said that before Auradon prep there wasn't a high school because his father made it a high school. Are there more inconsistent?

The new song is a banger. The vocals were great and the choreo was the best part. Their graceful hand gestures when they sing “princess” is iconic. People are only hating on it because of the head banging. That one move should not take away from the sound of the song. Also, I didn’t really think the head banging was a big deal when I first saw it. I just thought that’s how the character was supposed to act. I sometimes cringe at raps in kid songs but this was honestly fine.

Overall people keep hating on the new Descendants movies because it’s not like the originals. The movies are called “Descendants,” not “Mal and Friends.” If we’re being so honest the Zombies franchise is going to have a harder time if there’s not even a zombie as a lead. They seriously gotta change the name if that’s the case.

Additionally, there’s a reason why Descendants: Rise of Red wasn’t just called Descendants 4. It’s to let people know that this it’s its own thing and not a continuation of Mal’s story. Requels and spin-offs are nothing new. People are saying Descendants ended after 3 and that’s not entirely accurate. If we’re simply talking about Mal and friends then yeah. Their whole saga revolved around the Isle of the Lost and by the end of it they broke down the barrier. Boom, every arc was completed and the saga came to a close. That’s not to say other stories can’t be told in the same universe. It’s important to know that Descendants 1-3 and the new movies are its own separate stories.

I think some people just think it’s just cool to hate on things. Like y’all this is Descendants. Every movie has some cringe. I keep my Descendants craze on the down low when I meet people LOL. I do get the critique with Rise of Red. The story just didn’t feel satisfying. Like why didn’t we see Castlecoming? But Rise of Red most definitely delivered on their musical numbers. Vocals, choreography, camera angles, lighting!! So good. Kept me entertained despite that rushed ending. Anyways, this is getting long and I feel embarrassed even writing this so I’m just gonna stop here. Overall the new Descendants movies are being overhated and I think the franchise is fine and okay to continue. You didn’t think this was the end of the story, did you?

It was a lot better than I was expecting but I feel like tearing the down barrier is the worst idea. Beast locked the evil people away because of the harm they caused to the world. Their kids may be good now but those people are still evil. I think they should have just let the kids come

I found a playlist with most of the descendants song on called girls let’s prove them wrong with a boys as well list (obviously girls as well are welcome to input)

If Mal is confirmed to be cousins with Ares (since Hades is Mal’s father. So that would mean that Mal would have a big family tree on her father’s side of the family tree), and according to DC comics (which is owned by Warner Brothers); Ares is half sibling to Wonder Woman. So would’ve made Mal the only Descendants character to have a non Disney relative, or is she?

Is it possible for the other Descendants characters to have some relatives that are not a part of the Disney franchises (not including those that are technically owned by Disney or Hulu. Since Hulu is owned by Disney currently.)? 🤔

I saw a behind the scene promo of the cast scaring dove during if only, she is in a place we don’t see. So I’m wondering if they trimmed if only down? The extended version is also on Spotify

READ ALL: I get what y’all are like hating on the nepo baby part or whatever but he’s supposed to be like that since he’s the mad hatters GRANDKID and he needs to be mad. So don’t come for the actor without even waiting for the movie to come out to even judge it.
