Well, let's talk a little about this "" "saga" "". Personally, it never occurred to me to see a movie about the children of Disney Villains or Disney Heroes. There were movies like "The Little Mermaid II", "The Lion King II", "The Lion Guard", among others that showed this of "what would happen if a character had a son or successor", but we had never seen a movie focused on the 100% on the children of Disney villains. Until 2015, the Disney Channel television movie "Descendants" arrived to show us what it would be like. And the truth, if you ask me, it's like a lousy fanfiction:

First: We know nothing of the world in which this is set. The film empowers us by releasing that after getting married, the Beast (from "Beauty and the Beast", dah) unifies all the Disney kingdoms into a kind of country / empire / kingdom / republic / democracy / monarchy called the "United States of Auradon. " There are some "prequel novels" that tell a little about this world, but it remains unclear how these characters, who come from most different times, can coexist in the same environment, as there can be so much technology, why nobody uses magic and another lots of things that are NEVER answered or raised in history. It is simply and directly a fanfic without imagination.

Second: The characters suck. The Disney Villains that appear resemble satires or parodies of the characters they are based on, or stereotypes of sitcom characters. Just like the few characters who are supposed to be the heroes of the "Disney Multiverse". They all look like parodies seeking to be comical, but they become less than credible. And the worst are the teenage protagonists, who all seem to be stereotypes, stereotypes, stereotypes. Neither is an interesting character, just an urban tribe cliche for teens to feel "identified" with these characterless dolls.

Third: Music does not go with the movie. With this, he did not want to blame the director, Kenny Ortega, because he surely only did what they asked him to do: a "High School Musical" movie. But the problem is just that, no song is really useful for the plot. If they wanted music for an album, they could do it, but if they are going to make a movie that is going to be about the children of Disney Villains, let it be music that goes with a movie of that style.

In summary: "Descendants", for me, is a "" "saga" "" of movies with a GOOD IDEA, but a lousy execution that only sought to obtain profits from the adolescent public easy to unpredicte, with a universe without imagination, insipid characters, and whose only notable event is that it was the last cinematographic work in which Cameron Boyce worked before dying of an epileptic attack. May he rest in peace, good Cameron.

PS: Also something detestable about these films was how I try to include other ethnic groups in a bad way. Look, I don't have a problem with black people, or with Chinese or any other ethnic group, but it could have been done better. Making Aurora's mother black or Chinese Lady Tremaine is not the way to integrate other ethnic groups. Can I give you an example of how to integrate an ethnic group into a film ?: Creating an original character.
