She is one of the best movie baddies, and her name is marvellous.

I recently rewatched the original and had forgotten just how well they portray her evil. Even as an adult I was actively repulsed the same way I would be if I met her in real life. Classic Disney definitely had some incredible villain writing.

The cartoon or the live action

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 10 points 1 hour ago

Cartoon is the one I rewatched. I remember the old live action also being good though.

This is something Christi Noem would say about 101 Dalmatians….

Didn't they make one recently where they tried to spin the villain solely known for turning puppies into purses as good?

Yeah and it's pretty good I thought. Shits on the old story but I care not.

Yep and they do that by making it not even believably the same character.

It's probably how the real Cruela would tell her backstory, making herself the victim

[–] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 6 points 1 hour ago

Cruella was excellent, in my opinion of course 😁

I like how the recent movies had Cruella step on another villain-coded woman to get to the top.
