![]() ![]() Mal is seen as either a very complex and likable character, a fundamentally selfish person who never takes responsibility for her actions or improves her behavior, or a Cliché Storm who caused Maleficent's Badass Decay.Her role as the Big Bad in the third movie has been generally well-received, but has still divided opinions further between those who think the turn she took was justified. Even then, it didn't stop fans from being disappointed in her absence during the second movie. Audrey is either a funny Lovable Alpha Bitch who suffered emotional abuse from her grandmother and whose issues with the VKs are understandable, not to mention being subject to a lot of bad luck, or just a prejudiced, unlikable bitch and Hypocrite who never learns from her mistakes.The last song of Descendants 3, "Break This Down", which is sung by the Auradon Kids and the Villain Kids when Mal decides to permanently destroy the barrier."Night Falls," in the third movie, is a stirring and catchy fight song.The third movie has the spectacular Villain Song "Queen of Mean", and the daddy-daughter rock duet "Do What You Gotta Do".The first film gives us "Evil Like Me", a classic Broadway-esque number by Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth, and the second film has "Chillin' Like a Villain", which aims for a Michael Jackson influence but ends up sounding more like a Jason Derulo track (see Suspiciously Similar Song below). Each of the style-shift songs in the movies is great.The second movie plays the intense Battle Rapping number "It's Goin Down" when Uma threatens to make Ben Walk the Plank and Mal threatens her in reply.The second film’s "Ways To Be Wicked" manages to be even more awesome than "Rotten To The Core", and "What's My Name" is one hell of an introduction for Uma.The Wicked World spinoff series also starts us off with "Good is the New Bad" and "I'm Your Girl" in season 1 and "Rather Be With You" in season 2. "Rotten To The Core", "If Only" and "Set It Off" seem to be getting the most acclaim, with the first two making it to the Billboard Hot 100. ![]() Really, the ember subplot only seems to serve as a way to resolve the issue of who Mal's father is.and at the expense of book canon, at that, as it had been mentioned that her father was a human. It's established as the only thing that can match the power of Maleficent's scepter however, not only was it (and by association, Hades) never mentioned in the previous films, it also ignores the fact that the magic wand - which was the main MacGuffin in the previous films, and was established to be just as powerful - is an option, and a far more accessible one at that. ![]() Ass Pull: Hades' ember comes off as this in the third movie. ![]()
