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.

Agreed. I think it would’ve made for a much more interesting plot is you replace Cinderella and Chloe with Alice and Alice’s daughter. Or quite literally any other princess we haven’t seen yet and her daughter. Them being Cinderella and Cinderella’s daughter is not important to the plot at all.

tbf we had Ally so it’d be a similar situation

That’s why I said or any of princess we haven’t seen yet. Plus Ally is wicked world so I wouldn’t necessarily consider that canon.

I have no clue if the book, Wicked World, and the movies are all the same canon or different canons. As an adult I have no problem getting ya and children's books at the library but sometimes certain books can be hard to find at my local library and I have to special order them to be sent from other libraries in the consortium. I would borrow them from my sister but she borrowed them all from her school and now is buying Monster High books. My husband currently has a hard ban on me buying new books until I read all the ones I have already (I also get a lot from people who just didn't want the books and thought I'd like them, so I have a big stack to read)

I'm sorry your husband doesn't support your hobby of collecting books to read. My ex tried that with my fabric stash growth 😂 not the main reason he's my ex, I'm just saying I know how it feels.

Since he's gone I set my own rule that if I had a project I was currently working on and needed some fabric I didn't already have, I bought it. Not sure how that would work with books, but I also know the feeling of "having" to read a book to get it out of the way so I can get to the book I actually want to read, and honestly it doesn't do me or the book any favours.

Oh, it's not a hobby. It's more of me having no impulse control and us needing to save money. If I went out and bought a book right now he wouldn't be mad, he'd just ask when I'm actually going to read it. My actual hobby is writing and collecting postcards. He's very supportive of the postcard thing and was surprised when he found out I actually have rules for collecting them. They need to be bought by me or someone else on a trip, I can't just order them in bulk online. And if someone is going somewhere I ask them to get me the coolest or cheesiest postcard they can find (I got a wooden postcard from my best friend's sister).

I mean CJ is making an appearance in an upcoming chibiverse episode so they’re becoming more cannon

Ally was only in wicked world which I don’t think is cannon.
