Its Honestly Funny How Cartoons Have Been Making Better Villains Than Disney Movies

[shy-peacock]

Commissioned some rayamaari art from the wonderful @lettuccine ! (Highly recommend giving them a follow ❤️)

Thank you so much for the art lettuccine! It was exactly what I was looking for, some soft/spicy Raya and Namaari content ❤️❤️❤️

Disney hero/villain tropes and personalities I'd like them to revisit or try for the first time.

An optimistic male lead. Pessimistic leads are a dime a dozen, so having someone who's more innocent and sees the world in a positive light would be awesome.

2. A male hero/female villain dynamic. Male villains are more common than female in Disney canon (though the female villains have better odds of being iconic), and usually when we have a female villain, we have a female hero. It'd be neat having a male protagonist and a female antagonist.

3. A villain who's kinda right, or has selfless or selfless-adjacent (ie not "I'm doing this just for me," but "I'm doing this for someone I care about--and maybe me too") intentions and bad methods. I feel like Disney has done this trope before (or at least tried), but I'd love them to do this more; a complex villain who CHALLENGES the protagonist to grow as a person, whether they're doing "I'm selfish but now I understand how it hurts others" or "I thought I was doing everything right but now I see the situation isn't so black and white."

4. A forgotten/fallen hero as the villain. I like the idea of someone who was originally a typical Disney protagonist, only to get to a situation where they gave in to their fear, hope, despair, grief, etc. I remember the 2015 remake of Cinderella doing a really good parallel to how both Cinderella and the Tremaines had suffered grief, but while it embittered the Tremaines, Cinderella held strong, making them resent her further (particularly Lady Tremaine).

5. A shy Disney protagonist. Most Disney protagonists are pretty outgoing and/or social, so having someone who isn't the best at socializing would be a cool Disney lead--plus if it was a musical, the singing could either all be done from the protagonist and co's minds rather than out loud, or the protagonist only sings when they think they're alone. Perhaps they eventually gain the confidence to sing publicly.

6. A hero and villain romance. This may not be something that you wanna have with a film that caters to a younger audience (glamorizing abusive relationships and such), but if done correctly, I like the idea of a villain redemption and subsequent falling in love with the protagonist. As such, they'd probably have to be a secondary villain in order to keep their crime/kill count low. It's a controversial idea, but I do like the enemies to lovers trope (note: ENEMIES to lovers, not two people who pester, annoy or argue with each other then fall in lover over time; not a fan of that).

Raya and Namaari do this

[snorlax891]

Raya: *Drunk af and hanging off Namaari* Ya know, we should make out right now. *drunken, snorting giggles*

Namaari: *amused blushing* That sounds pretty gay, Raya. *holds her closer* Raya: *twirling her finger around in big, ever decreasing circles* Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyou're a pretty gay. *boops her nose* :D Namaari: *blushing harder* O-oh...thank you. Um...so are you! Hahahahahaahha! Is it hot in here? *awkwardly tugging at her collar* Raya: You're hot in here! Hueheuehuehuehuehuehuehueheuhe. ;) Namaari: *blushing even more deeply* Sisu: Aren't you two like, married? Namaari: *speaking through her teeth as Raya climbs all over her and gets handsy* That's not the point, Sisu!

The Feeling of Today 🧡💗 as long as I wanted to make some comfort art of them anyway.

*Inspired by that one iconic frame of Disney's Once Upon a Studio.

[miabellaholtz]

Raya *in her bed, calling to Namaari*: Go to bed! It's 3 AM. If you don't, you're gonna hate yourself in the morning.

Namaari *from her spot in the window, reading by candle light*: Jokes on you. I'm gonna hate myself in the morning regardless!

I HATE to be that guy, but I'll say it: Raya's concept art is SO much better than the final product. I try not to pick favorites, but this may have been a film that needed to be made in 2D

Nevermind the fact that some of it reminds me of Studio Ghibli's art style--it's giving me "Princess Mononoke" meets "Spirited Away" vibes. I hope they go for that if they ever do a Japanese-inspired film (which I've created a mood board for). I'm curious as to what the plot was gonna be--if I'm not mistaken, a lot of this comes from the mid to late 2010s, years before the final product came out. A sad part of this film is that you can never really enjoy all the culture of each land since:

it's an amalgamation of SEA countries

Raya is constantly on the move and the world is ending, so you can't really take your time exploring.

I will say that I'm glad the final product omitted some of the more sci-fi elements of some of the concept art, as well as making Raya older than she's portrayed in some of this; we need more Disney leads in their late teens/twenties.
