every new detail I learn about the cruella movie plot is making me irrationally angry. if you absolutely HAD to make a sympathetic (or at least compelling) origin story for the LITERAL PUPPY-MURDERING VILLAIN, I can think of six off the top of my head that make more fucking sense

PREMISE 2: cruella has a lifelong love of/fascination with dalmations, dogs that seem to keep cropping up at key moments in her life. as she steadily cracks, she thinks of wearing them as honoring them

PREMISE 3: a plot wherein the longevity & utility of furs is a personal crusade of cruella's as the industry starts to phase them out; throw in some genuine dog attack trauma & the idea of 'why do we use use prey animal products but not predator products' (again Disney wouldn't)

PREMISE 4: an absolute balls to the wall, unapologetic crazytown movie where cruella is just that weird edgy goth girl who takes her shit too far in adulthood

PREMISE 5: child of wealthy parents grows up seeing both animals and poor people as things & resources; college friendship with anita almost turns her around, but she feels betrayed by anita marrying (& "abandoning" her) and decides to claim what she wants/deserves as revenge

PREMISE 6: woman who has fought her whole life to be taken seriously & professionally respected gets branded a bitch, passed over for more docile but less talented anita, snaps, decides to make very literal & fucked-up point about bitches/loyal dogs/autonomy

THAT TOOK ME LITERALLY FIFTEEN MINUTES. DISNEY HAS YEARS AND INSTEAD COMES UP WITH 'MIND-CONTROLLED DALMATIONS PUSH HER MOTHER OFF A CLIFF'. I HATE IT HERE.
