Disney Villain's I Now Understand (as an Adult)

What is a Villain?

vilĀ·lain
noun (in a film, novel, or play) a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot. "I have played more good guys than villains"

Curated list of Disney Villains in no particular order that I respect as an adult and completely understand why they are the way they are because they are valid truamatized queens. My credentails are that I'm a queer, millennial, they/them who has been blessed with the ever so delightful taste of being alive.

From the Villain's POV, I get it

Let's start with some clear facts. They were bad but they were badass. Not only did they dress better but they had aspirations, goals and dreams. Was they're entire personality based on finding love to some Chad that they literally risked their lives and just looked dumb. NO. Not so girl boss if you ask me.

Common traits of listed

Maleficent from The Sleeping Beauty , Queen of being Petty

Just try being chill about being left off the invite to the biggest social event in the kingdom, why don't you?? Not to mention, she wasn't always considered a bad guy. In her more innocent day's she was married to the King who cheats on her with the younger princess Talia. The King then has Maleficent burned in place of Talia so he can start his new family together. Girl, you can't tell me you wouldn't be pissed if your boo thang cheated like that.

Ursula, from The Little Mermaid aka a Queen

Aside from being a badass witch and independent businesswoman, she had the power to transform herself into a traditional thin beauty but rejected body stereotypes and kept her weight and glorious tentacles.

Yzma, from The Emperor's New Groove

Just imagine that you spend your life preparing for your dream job. You study hard, become a scientist, dabble in politics, but you never make it. Why? Because a clueless, entitled rich boy gets it. You could argue that Yzma deserved to be emperor waaaaay more than Kuzco.
