overanalyzing disney's descendants ✨ (why Rise of Red didn't work) (generational trauma tings)🔮👑🧚🐉♥️

CORRECTION: In D1, JANE is actually the character who steals the wand at the coronation, not Mal! Mal had been manipulating Jane over the course of the movie to get her to help! Thanks to the commenters for pointing it out!

I find myself once again with more thoughts than I know what to do with, hence the belated video! I have a lot of love for the Descendants films and I wish Rise of Red had recaptured the magic, but sadly it fell short :/ are you also a grown-up Descendants Enjoyer? OR can you convince me that RoR was secretly good? Leave a comment and I'll try my darnedest to check it out! Thanks, as ever for watching!
