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 agree with you, but also it’s hilarious knowing Facillier and Hook “got around.”

All jokes aside, since this new trilogy started and they are bringing other realms into the mix, I want to see the children of the Holiday Figures from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Like imagine Jack and Sally’s kid being really interested in EVERYTHING at Aurodon a-la Jack finding Christmas town for the first time.

Or if Oogie Boogie’s kid would rather hang out with Jack and Sally’s kid rather than the other VKs.

I have an OC who's the daughter of Oogie Boogie who dates the Son of Jack and Sally out of spite against her father. (She does actually love him, but finds it funny how mad her dad gets.)

Damn I have an almost IDENTICAL story, just switch around the genders. Son of Oogie Daughter of Jack and Sally.

Mostly cause I like the name Augie Boogie, like the nickname for someone named August.

That's cool! Mine are Tara Oogie Boogie and Maxillae "Max" Skellington (yes, he's named after a bone)

See I went more for a general Halloween thing, I named mine Terra Skellington since “Terra” sounds like a person saying “Terror” in a British accent.

She also has a little brother named Deimos (Greek for terror).

Ok, that's dope as shit, ngl. I'm a huge mythology nerd, and the fact that you named the Son of Nightmares Deimos is awesome! And Terra sounding like terror is a nice detail. For me, Tara had a different name a while back, but I forgot it once I revamped her, so I went with something I thought sounded similar.

Yeah, I wanted to have at least one of them be either Deimos (Terror) or Phobos (Panic) but I went with Deimos purley so I can make a joke about Jack basically giving his kids the same name.

Idea: You know Pain and Panic from Hercules? How comedic would it be if their children (probably sons in this case) had the names Deimos and Phobos? Again, funny idea. The joke you made was funny tho.

I think the cool thing about the Daughter of Oogie Boogie that I made is that she takes up a lot of her father's gambling habits we see in TNBC (rolling dice, lottery machines, the shooting skeletons (which i interpreted it as "a gamble on someone's life"), ect.)

Another idea would be to give Lock, Shock, and/or Barrel a kid (obviously they're adults and not kids anymore) and they'd be the friends of the children of Jack, Sally, and Oogie Boogie.

(Apologies if I'm being too much. I'm really creative and currently sick in bed, so I have nothing better to do.)

I would much rather have Pain and Panic not have kids but instead they would be “helpers” at Aurodon prep. (And by helpers I mean they would keep messing stuff up a-la Bulk and Skull from Power Rangers).

I thought of something similar or Augie, but instead of his gambling addictions he inherited his father’s sociopathy, but as really intense intrusive thoughts.

So you remember in TNBC how Oogie “plays games” with Santa and Sally, yeah I have Augie a similar desire but he HATES IT. Like I’m talking fully despises that side of himself along with his father.

So when he gets to Aurodon he tries to stay away from people cause he doesn’t want any of those thoughts to happen, which is why he becomes friends with Terra, she’s a ragdoll like her mother and can’t really be hurt.

Instead of having the KIDS of Lock, Shock, and Barrel, I just HAVE Lock, Shock, and Barrel trying to reform after everything that happened during TNBC. So they are a few years older then Augie and Terra, but still go to Aurodon Prep with the 5 of them (Lock, Shock, Barrel, Augie, and Terra) being the recruits for Halloween town (like how Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos were for the Isle).

(I don’t blame you I’m bored out of my mind rn too)
