thinking about how, when disney was starting to do their live action remakes, they probably went "shit, we made most of our villains stereotypically gay. we can't do that now, that's Homophobic!" and then proceeded to butcher their old villains by taking away everything that made them interesting and beloved characters.

#ghost town... 2!#yes making all your villains gay is homophobic. unfortunately it also Fucking Rules and rectifying it is a big mistake!#basically been listening to the original be prepared recently and it reminded me of the absolute disgrace that is live action scar #THE REASON HE WAS SO COOL WAS BECAUSE OF HOW UNSERIOUS HE ACTED WHILE STILL BEING A SERIOUS THREAT #A VILLAIN WHO KNOWS THEY CAN AFFORD TO FLAUNT THEIR POWER IS SCARIER THAN ONE WHO'S JUST ALL #“ohh bluh yeah we're killing a king. no fun allowed. this is Serious Time Only” BOOOO YOU'RE NOT EVEN A CHARACTER ANYMORE #THEY TURNED HIM INTO A PLOT DEVICE AND NOTHING MORE. HE MIGHT AS WELL BE A PARTICULARLY VINDICTIVE BOULDER #and i haven't seen the little mermaid but from what i've heard they kinda messed up ursula too. not as bad but still #if i hear they straightwash those gay aliens in lilo and stitch i'm gonna be so upset because they aren't even bad guys.#antagonists yes but they aren't evil. except for the big one but Character Development. he's just a lil unhinged #sorry for disneyposting btw lmao sometimes i just remember a villain song and go “oh fuck yes” and jam out for a week straight #(was also listening to it for potential voiceclaim reasons but that's beside the point)
