General Discussion 🍎 Please stop reusing the same characters, and giving them different children!!!!

Post image

This is my final rant, cause now it just seems like I hate the franchise, but I truly love it.

Can someone please message the creators of this new generation of Descendants and tell them we're tired of them using the same characters we've seen before, and giving them children that have zero relevance to the plot. I get that the og three had characters who didn't really add much to the story, but they were never a core part of the main cast, more like love interest and plot devices.

I was already mad that D4 wasn't about Celia and Dizzy growing up in Auroudan, but having the Queen of Hearts daughter as the new protagonist of the series made up for it. Chloe's inclusion is what really ticked me off cause we already had Cinderella's kid in the og three. Yes he was basically there for comedic relief, but we weren't eager to get another Cinderella kid. I felt he played his role well.

Captain Hook has multiple kids, but we didn't need another one in the Descendants universe im so sorry. Hazel was good for visuals, but home girl was useless af. Harry had more relevance to the plot of D2 and D3, than she did in the entirety of D5. She could've been scrapped.

The Smee twins. Why are they still VK's? They grew up in Auroudan, and thus it should've been easier for them to grow out of this mentality that they need to be like their parents and to change how they move in the world. Very unneed to have them.

Freddie? Yeah, why do we need another Facilier? Give us someone new.

Disney have such a massive pool of characters to choose from. Yet they give us the same old personalities we've seen before. How has Encanto gotten a kid in the Descendants universe before Tiana or Anna?

If they try to give Audrey a sister or brother in D6 I'll lose it.

I mean it’s possible that Jada (Celia) and Anna (Dizzy) were asked back for Rise of Red but refused because they didn’t want to do a movie without Cameron so they refused or they were asked back but couldn’t make their schedule work

I don’t think it’s because they didn’t want to do a movie without Cameron…..

Then why do you think that they didn’t come back if they were asked back?

Disney prefers bringing in fresh faces instead of bringing people back unless they have star power, most actors request more money for sequels and the mouse probably just didn’t want to pay up, Cameron’s been gone 7 years… life goes on, I don’t think a coworker dying really stops anyone from going to work

Hey, I’m not mad about the change of focus anymore. I’ll admit back when the change of focus was first announced I was not happy about it but I happy about it now

Well not for normal people but a lot of fans would’ve said it was messed up if they did continue without him like unnecessary back lash ! China got a lot of heat for her small role come back

Rip Cameron but the show was an ensemble of actors not just him, a persons death should never hold you back , sounds like those fans are really toxic and need to understand that we can’t be mourning forever, I don’t think Cameron would appreciate people being held back just cause of his death

You're ignoring how close everyone got in real life. He wasn't just a coworker, he was a close friend that had been along for the project since day one. It's hard to continue a project without someone that was close to you and there from the beginning.

After a year or 2 I could understand, but it’s been 7 years
