    This is a bad idea for the same reason the Star Wars prequels were bad idea: you're taking a character of mythic evil (Vader, Cruella De Vil) and giving them a conventional psychology.https://twitter.com/THR/status/1070104224057442304 …

    Emma Stone will play infamous '101 Dalmatians' villain Cruella De Vil in what is being billed as an origin story, set in the early 1980s with a punk vibe http://thr.cm/ReDLCa

        Except this is starring Emma Stone, so it's not a bad idea.

        Jeet, some of us just want to see 1980s punk (they probably mean new wave I’m assuming) Emma Stone, don’t take that away from us

        Wicked is itself about our perspectives on villainy and humanity. I'm not sure about the point of doing that multiple times.

        Iago, the early years. On the other hand, this describes Paradise Lost. It's not always a mistake to give a villain a backstory.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Disney has been on this kick for awhile. Maleficent, the whole tween Descendants, even the TV show Once Upon a Time all featured villains being portrayed as shades of gray and turned into protagonists, while traditional virtuous characters are shaded as corrupt, hypocritical.

        I am not sure what in particular is driving the trend but as we examine our upside down global political situation, where autocrats high five about murdering their enemies, we might want to rethink this a minute.
