Another thing I find really refreshing and cool about Descendants(specifically the first one) is that there is no third act betrayal/misunderstanding/blow up between the main characters.

The VKs are all loyal to each other to the end, even once their motives have all changed and theyre no longer happy with the plan they stick together and follow Mal's lead.

Ben realizes hes been love potioned and finds it endearing and goes along with it even when the affects have worn off

Like the first descendants movie is practically allergic to the third act betrayal/misunderstanding despite CONSTANTLY setting up for one

#descendants #like coulda easily gone with a plotline about the VKs betraying Mal #or Mal betraying them #there coulda been consequences to spelling Ben but hes a freak and into that shit #the rest og the kingdom/students never even had the chance to be betrayed cuz everyone went in being suspicious of the VKs #and they didnt necessarily learn to NOT be suspicious but instead came to understand they were people too #highkey wish there was less about mal and ben's romance and more about friendship #and bridging the cultural gaps between the isle kids and the mainland #as well as the realization that the VKs are victims in all of this #like i just wanted more of that #less Mal and Ben romance #we had more VK stuff in the other movies at least
