Just because it won't last doesn't mean it isn't worth something.

I dunno if you noticed but I don’t like the idea of Mal giving decisions of Auradon when Ben is literally there. And I found it odd how people in Auradon and isle praising Mal as some sort of savior when she literally released criminals back into Auradon to set revenge on their enemies. All of this should have been Ben’s doing, not Mal’s as Ben would know what to do as Mal was still a foreigner and is getting warmed up to the country.
See, Ben/Mal paring I never thought of it lasting because Mal genuinely doesn't seem the type to WANT or enjoy being a queen which is what she will need to be with Ben.
I do find it odd that Auradon isn't judging her more harshly but that's probably Ben hiding some criticism from her after D2.
Ben definitely needed the Vks perspective but he probably could have done more in making it easier from the Auradon side.
I always thought, the little kids view mal as this hero versus the older kids like Uma ECT who view her differently.
Ben is too much of a pushover for Mal sometimes especially in D3. This boy needs to stand up to her, his advisors and his daddy.
Again, I don't think Mal has learned/Integrated enough into Auradon to have making the decisions she did. Especially after D2, she seemed to be in an insecurity spiral especially with Ben and her friends who have arguably integrated much better. Which is perfectly normal but she hasn't found a space like the other 3 did. Fashion for Evie, that sport for Jay and I think Carlos has lots going on between Jane, his dog, tech and that sport. Mal has art but I don't think she's found that space in Auradon. She definitely seems more put together in D3 but still has major issues.
I understand Mals position, I simply don't think she's the least ready for it. Ben definitely should have asked each Vk for their opinions on how to take more Vks to Auradon instead of just one. The whole situation could have been handled better.
As you move on in life, you'll know the difference between someone that's interested in you, someone that's obsessed with you, and someone that's committed to you. Pick the last one!
