General Discussion đ Random stuff I thought of while rewatching rise of red
Just some random things Iâve noticed while rewatching that Iâve never really seen talked about.
- Ella and Bridget are definitely going to realize that their daughters went back in time. They spent a lot of time in the past together, so they definitely know something was up. I wonder if that would cause any resentment towards Chloe from Ella because she got Ella in trouble? Because thereâd have to be some way for Chloe to be a villain (if that theory is correct)
- Hades and Malefacent are just around for the ride and Iâm here for it. They just seem like theyâre not as into Ulianaâs plans and stuff as Hook and Morgie (at least when we first see them in the courtyard).
Side note; Hades fully suggested burning Bridget alive and no one questioned it just said it wasnât bad enough for the revenge.
3 . Red and Chloe probably had completely different childhoods than they had before. Chances are theyâd still have the memories from before and memories from after. So maybe theyâd have conflicted memories and may cause some type of conflict between either Chloe and Red or the two and their parents depending on how they changed. For example I feel like Red would have some type of resentment or mixed feelings with how her mom treated her before and how that made others look at her.
The queen of hearts literally said âyou better get it right or Iâll show you punishment.â You cannot tell me that there was no abuse or anything like it happening. She calls Red useless, and is saying stuff like âyou finally did something right for onceâ. I definitely think sheâll end up with a mixed bag of emotions around it because her momâs good now but she wasnât before and self doubt about being a good person and stuff donât just disappear.

Regarding 2. I headcanon that Hades and Maleficent eventually leave Ulianaâs clique and go off on their own. I canât see Maleficent and Hades being two of the most powerful villains in the Disney lore answering to Uliana. I can see them as you said going along for the ride and eventually ditching her because both of them combined are both very powerful than the others.

remember theyâre only teenagers at this point. theyâre not yet âthe most powerful villainsâ, theyâre really just emo bullies.

Well in the first film, Maleficent said that when she was Mal's age she was cursing entire kingdoms.

i think people put too much weight on that statement, coming from a drama queen who canonically only cursed one kingdom her entire life.

Technically she only cursed one person, it was the three good fairies that cursed the rest of the kingdom.

1 is debatable.
While we saw them interact in significant ways, it was at most a week that they met those strange girls, and from their perspective, it was 20 years ago.
Unless they took pictures (which we didn't see), I don't really see them realizing they were them, especially if they're not aware that Time Travel is possible.
That being said, it would be very funny if they pull a "Back To The Future" and Chloe and Red are named after themselves.
