…
Too cruella for me.
Emma Stone playing Helena Bonham Carter, is that what its come too?
I that what we’ve come too?
Yes, that’s what we come to.
I’m in.
So at some point she went from socialite supervillain/criminal mastermind to a bitter loner who couldn’t even orchestrate a successful dog-napping? That seems like quite a decline.
Yes, indeed it is hard to witness.
I’ve come to that too, so its the two of us
Together again, maybe forever too…
Maybe forever two, too.
That’s one too many two too’s for me.
I look forward to the long form Lindsay Ellis review of this.
Dear Disney,
We don’t actually need tragicomic backstories for your greatest villains. They can just… be evil, you know?
Maybe there is a certain amount of projection involved.
I wouldn’t mind being Evil Emma Stone, so yes, absolutely.
It’s a fascinating thing that the redemption of villains seems to be so in this season and i’m thinking of - Suicide Squad, Joker, Harley Quinn… sure many more i’m forgetting.
And the upcoming Black Adam from DC.
Next one will be Madame Medusa from Rescuers.
