Popsugar Parenting Disney Villains Funny Twitter Thread About Disney Villains Forget Disney Princesses! This Viral Twitter Thread Shows Villains Are Where It's At 6 June 2018 by Murphy Moroney Image Source: The Everett Collection Whether you've seen every single Disney movie 40 times or you're the first person to admit the flicks really aren't your jam, one thing's for sure: the villains always seem to get the short end of the stick. Zelda Williams opened up a can of worms on the topic à la Twitter on June 2 — and to say she completely hit the nail on the head would be a serious understatement. She got straight to the point with her initial tweet, which read: "Screw those unachievable paradigms we called Disney Princesses, I only ever related to the smart but overlooked three dimensional characters they called villains, and here's why: (a thread)." From there, she launched into an award-worthy rant about how, at the end of the day, Disney villains just don't get enough credit. And we're not just talking about a series of three or four tweets, Zelda brought her A-game in the argument department, and given her supporting evidence, it's pretty damn hard to disagree with her. Scroll through to peep all the classic Disney movies she lights up and try not to snicker — or, er, maniacally laugh — in the process. First she went in on The Little Mermaid. Ariel is a bored snob who literally sings about having everything but it not being enough. She saves a man’a life, who she then stalks & decides to ‘re-meet’ (since he doesnt even remember what she looks like), but in order to do so, she’ll needs magic, so who does she call... pic.twitter.com/CRfP0ylpeG— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 2, 2018 1 / 12 Ursula helps her in spite of Ariel’s snooty royal family exiling her and her rad AF eel buds to a cave. She doesn’t even make the task HARD. Like, hello, Ariel knows how to write! She signed her name! She didnt have to play illiterate as well as mute! Not to mention- pic.twitter.com/0W9630s5Ho— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 2, 2018 2 / 12 Little Mermaid takeaway: snobby hot rich chicks always get their way, while the harder working talented magical ladies who don’t fit particular (dumb) beauty or age standards will often be unfairly mistreated & shunned by certain society. Ursula was a BAMF, and a babe. Onwards! pic.twitter.com/RHUiZTcsE3— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 2, 2018 3 / 12 And then came her thoughts on The Lion King. Enter Simba, another snooty royal who’s told from a very young age that he owns the entire planet (which isn’t unrealistic. At all.). He immediately starts annoying his smarter uncle Scar, and btw, who wouldnt be peeved at a world that’s nicknamed you after a visible injury?! pic.twitter.com/IMWKCtvD6w— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 2, 2018 4 / 12 While Mufasa, who has a pride of wives but only ever talks to one by name btw, keeps indoctrinating Simba with toxic King lessons that only feed his ego, Scar tried to expand Simba’s horizons, see the world! Leave his royal safety net and meet animals from all walks of life! pic.twitter.com/OQMQ7dPUt9— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 2, 2018 5 / 12 And yes, Scar ended up overthrowing the monarchy, but most societies had to in order to modernize! He and the hyenas made a new democracy! It was bumpy, but when new, improved Simba returns matured by time abroad, the pride is better for it! And the burn helped new plant growth. pic.twitter.com/1Qbu7WgtGF— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 2, 2018 6 / 12 Lion King takeaway: the hyenas were grossly mistreated & forced to live in horrible conditions and only Scar saw their promise and got them to unionize. He also created a whole new government while Simba was off being a stoner. PS, don’t nickname people after their injuries.

I don’t even know where to begin with Maleficent other than LOOK AT THIS FABULOUS FAIRY! A fashion icon with amazing dental hygeine. Yes, she overreacted to not being invited to a party, but EVERYTHING WORKED OUT FOR THE BEST IN THE END, AMIRIGHT?! Also, Dragon drag. pic.twitter.com/fm3Wf9wL1j— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 2, 2018 8 / 12 Also, how’s Maleficent the weirdo of Sleeping Beauty when the Prince is just walking around entering condemned properties and kissing dead chicks?! Also, fun fact, but Ravens are super intelligent and can speak better than parrots, so extra rad points to Mal. NEXT! pic.twitter.com/X36GobqrPN— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 2, 2018 9 / 12 She made a serious point about villain fashion. And the Villains were often dramatic high fashion icons compared to the same pastels and crinoline chic of the princesses, don’t even bother @-ing me, you know I’m right. pic.twitter.com/le4E5Utvo4— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 2, 2018 10 / 12 And gave the male bad guys a shout out as well. Human villain men of Disney appreciation post. Who doesn’t love crimson and purple on an artfully tailored ensemble with a dramatic silhouette?! Also, kudos to Gaston for being the only Disney dude with body hair. pic.twitter.com/3kyOhmeR22— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 3, 2018 11 / 12 She also pointed out how they're really the only characters with any body diversity. Also, kudos to the villain squad for having some of the only body representation in Disney that is inclusive of more sizes than just princess in a corset zero, and with the exception of Boogie who is a literal bag, actually drawing them in stylish, well-tailored outfits. pic.twitter.com/Pt3hffefOQ— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) June 3, 2018 12 / 12 Disney VillainsParenting HumorDisney PrincessesDisney
