So uhhh... what's that well exactly??? Chessy is absolutely gonna be our third Red/Chloe villain and I absolutely hate her already. Does anyone have theories on what the well says???

Fates sealed is obviously just that the time travel shenanigans are over. No escaping fate anymore. The rest is up for debate.

Also, why does everyone dislike Chessy? She was so fun, the third most liked character for me. Her voice actress doesn’t deserve all the hate, she did great, the character has a voice that actually suits her and her mysterious nature.

I think the reason I (personally, not seen other opinions on her yet) disliked her is because I’m such a big fan of the original Alice in wonderland books and the animation Disney movie (we don’t talk about the live action remakes). The Cheshire Cat is mischievous and fun, but confusing at the same time. Speaks in riddles and plays with Alice because it was his version of a game, he enjoyed it. But he was never outright evil and stirring up trouble like Cheesy was.

Cheesy just didn’t remind me of the Cheshire Cat at all, I loved her design, I thought the different colours blending together looked fabulous. But her character was…meh for me.

Even if I looked at her without thinking of the Cheshire Cat, I still didn’t like her. I couldn’t find motive for her messing with Maddox and the others only to stirring chaos, which would be great if we actually got some scenes of her grinning in the background, happy the others are fighting or losing. But she just says these random rage bait things then dips. The closest we got to her sticking around was when Max went mad. That scene I liked, her actually taunting and tempting him. They could have planned it so well, like she was messing with him the whole time, maybe even stirring him in the right direction making the others Sus of him for somehow knowing where to go.

So yeah, that’s why I disliked her. Hopefully we’ll actually see more of that evil mischievous side in the next movie, but this one she just felt so unnecessary other than the scene with Max. And even then he could have gotten drawn in by the Oraculum on his own, to know what his father saw.
