cookingwithroxy:brazenautomaton:cookingwithroxy:true-king-of-monsters:cillianmurphy:EMMA STONE as CRUELLA DE VILCRUELLA (2021) dir. Craig GillespieI’m still wrapping my noggin around this.What’s sympathetic about about a bitch that wanted to skin puppies?It’s entirely the ‘I find this girl pretty, so she CAN’T be bad! Let’s make up a backstory to justify her inhuman behavior!’ woobifying thing we’ve complained about in fanfiction for YEARS.do we actually know this movie is going to woobify her? Cruella de Vil has always been the Disney villain with absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoevermaybe it’s gonna be 105 minutes of Emma Stone just devouring the scenery as the most evil campy monster everI would be excited for thatNow, Disney going full on Villain Protagonist could be good. Could be viable and good. But they failed to do that with Maleficent, and…Well, considering that Dalmations are being set up as the angry guard dogs after the positioned as revenge based protagonist Cruella? Yeah. This is very likely to be woobie.Just watch how they position this in the trailer. The best we can hope for is a Sweeney Todd ‘Lesser of two Evils’ treatment.That… doesn’t look woobified at all. It looks like a string of mayhem she’s causing. We see dalmatians for half a second, can’t even tell if they are guard dogs. She’s burning down buildings and robbing banks and loosing plagues of bugs. I don’t even see anything about her taking revenge. -- source link
