CHARACTER RANT

Chad Charming wasn't really an asshole in the first movie compared to the 2nd. In the 3rd, he's honestly just kind of dumb, BUT in the first movie, he seems like an asshole when you first watch but as I've grown older and watched it more, I notice that he kinda has a point. While it wasnt cool of him to use Evie for homework, she was trying to use him for money and status. Sure thst was because her mom conditioned her to do so, but it was still wrong of her. On that action, both of them are at fault and both of them and in the wrong. Later, during parents day or whatever it was called, when he verbally attacked them he only insulted them in ways that were true. He called evie a gold digger, because that was true, she was digging for gold. He told Jay that he was violent/liked hurting people, because that's what Jay had shown to do when Chad was around. I do not remember what he said to Mal, but I do distinctly remember him NOT insulting Carlos. This is important because Carlos hadn't done anything wrong. He was the only one in the Core 4 that hadn't done anything to gain Chad's ire, and in response, Chad didn't insult him. While I don't know if this was a purposeful choice, I think it shows that, at least in the first movie, Chad isn't really a villian. He's just a bit of a douche (but only a little bit)

Sorry but I disagree with “what Chad said about Jay and Evie were not wrong” bc

1.”Jay enjoyed hurting people” comes from the way Jay acted in the tryout. But did he? Yes he was aggressive, but it’s what expected in the sport that requires protect gears on players and rules are the mix of football and lacrosse, with several cannons aiming at whoever cross the war zone. Look at cheers and coaches reactions that went complete opposite as Audrey and Chad. They’re cheering and smiling at Jay’s play, totally accepting it because that’s what expected. Even the coach Jenkins voiced it a raw talent, and when he mentioned that Jay needed a bit of help with rules and respect the teamwork, he did not mention that Jay was way too aggressive. Later, the coach also mentioned about “the team is a bunch of princes, if you know what I mean”. It implied that the team wasn’t showing their hunger for victory enough to win, which the coach expected Jay to change with his eagerness to win while trying to improve the teamwork. Also, the hostility came from Chad’s part first when Jay was called a raw talent instead of getting kicked out of the tryout(I suppose that’s what Chad expected).

2.”Evie was a gold digger” is also very biased accusation when Evie was interested in Chad’s princely appearance first. Which can’t be blamed because that’s what she’s been trained to see the appeal of. Still, Evie played her game fair. She did not manipulate Chad in anyway. All Evie did in the attempt to make Chad falling in love with her was to appeal her beauty and her abilities to cook, clean, sew, etc. Evie played it fair to appeal how she’s somewhat a Cinderella material in hoping Chad would want his own Cinderella just like his father. And did she lie? No. It’s sad that Evie was brainwashed to believe that she had to get a prince fall in love with her and marry him, but it wasn’t the act on Evie’s part when she liked Chad. Evie was truly ready to fall in love with him and most likely be a good wife material. Honestly, I don’t see much difference between Evie with Chad and Audrey with Ben. If we can see Audrey truly liked Ben and it really hurt her to be dumped over other girl was the reason why she acted the way she did, while she’s also brainwashed by her own family that she must be Ben’s Queen and her whole life was designed to be, we should be able to see Evie’s case as something more than just a failed gold digger attempt. Also, Chad initiated the relationship between them, and while Evie noticed Chad appealing first, Chad only saw Evie appealing when he realized that she’s probably smart enough to do his homework. Then he also started the hostility first when he stole Evie’s mirror and snitched on her when he’s benefitted from her cheating.

And the other problem of Chad framing Evie’s action as “gold digging” is, he’s not only trying to accuse her of what she did with him, but also trying to ruin the relationship Evie has built with Doug. He’s suggesting that she’s doing the same with Doug and when Doug tried to apologize for what happens earlier, Chad put the pressure on Doug. He’s not just stating his “fact” with Evie there but also fully intended to ruin Evie’s reputation and relationship with other people. That was, sorry for strong word, evil.

Also even before the VKs did anything to earn the hostility and grudges from AKs, it’s Chad and Audrey framed them as “bad news”.

And only when it’s justified for AKs to have the hostility was Audrey’s case when she’s got dumped for no reason, and Jane when Mal taken advantage of her insecurities and purposely feed into it by suggesting that Jane wasn’t beautiful enough.

Other than these moments, AKs couldn’t possibly known the intentions behind the VKs actions and Chad was making accusations while purposely cut the part where he’s at fault. Framing things in favor of him makes it not up for the discussion of right or wrong.

In the novel, are there any Disney heroes involved with war of roses?

SPOILERS FOR BEYOND THE ISLE OF THE LOST: WONDERLAND!!!!

.

Hopefully this helps answer any questions pertaining to the new Isle book. If anyone has any more questions, feel free to ask if this didn’t answer anything! I just felt like this will be easier than going back-and-forth pulling small tidbits to add 🤣😂😂

Okay, so here’s the briefest summary of what happens in Beyond the Isle of the Lost: Wonderland. We learn that Wonderland is sealed off from Auradon because the Queen didn't want to be under the Beast’s rule, I believe, so she raised an army to fight back just in case. This was known as the War of Roses. It sounds like there never was a fight. It sounds more like the Queen showed that she was no punk and wasn’t gonna let anyone scare or intimidate her, or most likely, she just didn’t want to be the one not in control so out of fear, Auradon closed the Rabbit Hole, which is one of two ways to get in and out of Wonderland, the other being The Pool of Tears. Because of this, Red has never been outside of Wonderland and doesn’t know much about what is going on in the outside world. The Queen has turned Wonderland pretty much into a dictatorship prison where so many things are outlawed that it doesn’t even seem like Wonderland anymore. She wants Red to follow in her footsteps and rule like she does, but Red ain’t having none of it. She wants to rebel against it all, but because she hasn’t had any sort of influence from anyone since everyone in Wonderland is scared to death of her mother, they never act out, so she doesn't know how. In comes Ace and Chester, two characters who sort of help her rebel, but they don’t know much either. Chester is, I believe, the son of the Cheshire Cat or at least a descendant of him. Ace…I'm not sure cause they never established, but if I were gonna take a wild guess, I would say that he could be the son of an Ace card. They do things to rebel and bring life to Wonderland by throwing parties, two to be exact, and the first failed royally, which resulted in them being arrested by the guards, and the Queen just dismissed them. The second party they throw in the throne room which makes the Queen blow her lid and start arresting everyone, which in turn makes Red, Chester, and Ace go on the lam. They plan on going to the Pool of Tears so they can escape Wonderland, but unfortunately, C and A get captured by the card soldiers. They tell Red to run for it and escape Wonderland, but she doesn’t want to leave her friends, so she goes back for them. Big mistake because that was a trap by the Queen, who throws her in the dungeon with them. The next day in front of all of Wonderland, the Queen shows just how much of a royal evil bitch she is by showing what she does to people who break her laws: She turns them into mindless card soldiers, as she demonstrates with Ace. It’s very heavily implied that she did this to the other kids she captured at the party. She then turns Chester into a cat, who then disappears. It goes without saying that Red is heartbroken, distraught, and traumatized by this, and her mother doesn’t give a flying fuck. So, Red now has this deep resentment toward her mother and is probably willing to do anything to get back at her. She probably wants to escape Wonderland more or perhaps take her anger out on the land.

This actually does something the other “prequel” books did as it gives us a look into who the character of Red is and her mother as well. It also gives us a glimpse of how much of a threat the Queen of Hearts is because when I heard that she was planning a coup in the movie, I was like, “yeaaaaah, but she’s really not that big of a threat like Maleficent, Uma, Audrey, or any of the other villains or ‘villains’ so how will this work?” But this gives us more information. It also gives a little more backstory as to why Wonderland is separate from Auradon and why Uma is looking to invite people from there to go to school in Auradon. Do I think they will reference some of the things from this movie? Maybe a little because a lot of it gives us reasons to see the Queen as a threat and more about why Red wants to rebel so much. Do I think we’ll get closure for Chester and Ace? Most likely not, and I hate that because while the other books left their endings with shots of happiness, this one ended completely depressing and horrifying.

Something to note: the Queen HATES cupcakes. In the summer preview, there was a picture of her younger self holding a plate of cupcakes while looking sad, so I wonder if we’re gonna see the reasons behind her hatred for them.

Maddox, the son of the Mad Hatter, is a science teacher at Wonderland High who is in the Queen’s favor. He’s interested in…wait for it…time travel, which is the basic plot of the film.

Reading this really makes listening to Red’s part in the new “What’s My Name” hit a little deeper, especially the parts where she says, “My mom’s as mean as it gets” and “It was rough growing up.”

I don’t know where Merlin Academy, Cinderella, and the other characters come into play, as the book mainly focused on Red, but I guess we’ll find out more in the new film.

It’s pretty much confirmed that the Queen was never on the Isle of the Lost (which makes the mention of her hair salon in the second book kind of weird), so that means Red is probably the only VK who wasn’t born on the Isle. She’s heard rumors about it but has never seen it. The only people she has met from the Isle are Harry and Jasper, who apparently got trapped in Wonderland after the VKs got released from the Isle in the 3rd film. But how they got trapped there if Wonderland was sealed off before they were born is what’s puzzling me. But timelines have never made absolute sense in this franchise so I’m not gonna get to deep into it😄😂
