You ever have one of those thoughts that just won’t leave your brain?
Today, all I could think about was Descendants 3 and specifically one detail. So the gang reconnects at Evie’s castle, they split up between finding FG and finding Audrey.
There are still three unconscious minors in Evie’s house! And we know that Dizzy at least turns while under her sleeping curse.
So that begs the question: who stays behind to watch the unconscious minors?
Jay: skilled fighter, not someone you want to leave on the sidelines.
Evie: while yes, it’s her castle and Dizzy’s her charge, she’s also a skilled fighter as seen in Night Falls and the fight in Pirate’s Cove.
Carlos: Again, skilled fighter, I could see him taking that sling shot and distracting Audrey with the smoke bombs like they did in Pirate’s Cove in the second movie.
Though I would leave Dude behind.
Uma: Not to sound like a broken record but skilled fighter plus she’s got magic. When going up against Maleficent’s scepter, more magic users on your side is the way to go.
Harry: Skilled fighter plus I think the only reason he’d stay behind would be if he was injured in some way. And even then the jury’s out if it meant Uma would be without her First Mate.
Gil: He’s good muscle for helping Jane, plus he’s one of the two puppies disguised as humans.
Jane: She’s on the mission to find her mom--that being said, once she realizes that FG is a statue, I would have grabbed the wand from the museum and then booked it back to Evie’s.
Mal: While she is Future Queen of Auradon, she’s also Maleficent’s daughter. She’s the one who grew up (probably) with stories about the scepter and knows its power better than anyone. I don’t see how she could stay on the sidelines.
So the people staying behind?
Celia: a literal thirteen year old according to her application. The others are adults, but sorry not sorry, the teen gets sidelined.
Doug: Evie would want someone she trusts more than anyone to take care of Dizzy and that’s Doug.
Ben: ...why wouldn’t the literal KING of the country stay behind?! Especially when Audrey had already cursed him once? Nope not sorry, Ben, you’re babysitting!
