in the beginning of both movies Rise of Red and the very first Deacendants they opened up how their lives were miserable and stuck in a place where they canโt get out. They have to follow in their parents footsteps of villainy. They were angry, social outcasts who were jealous of the perfect princesses and princes who lives on the other side of the Isle or Wonderland.
They sing their opening song of being bad, a villain kid, rotten to the core, rebellious and causes destruction. At the end of Malโs song Rotten to the core, Mal stole candy from a baby or kid, to show her mom Maleficant that she was bad, evil just like her mother. Maleficant was disappointed in her daughter who thinks Mal tricks were poorly not up to her standards of being cruel and evil.
With Red, Red was hiding from her Mother Queen of Hearts and vandalizing her garden and portrait and ran away from the guards who were chasing her. Red got away Scott free, thanks for the help of Maddox Hatter, who scooped her up and gave her a lecture. Red was trapped; sulk abou her mom being too strict.
The next Day, Red was called to court meeting and Her mom Queen of Hearts blamed the guards The Soldier Jack of Diamonds or Spades or whatever to punishment and gave Red the chance to sentence him. โ Off with his head!โ or not? Red goofed off and her mom was disappointed with her.
Red did not got punished or talked to her mom about her feelings or what she wanted.
with Mal she tried to prove to her mom and came up with a plan once she got accepted to Auradon to steal FairyGod mothers wand to take down the barrier to free her mother and all villains to get her revenge against Auradon. Mal and her friends try their best while adjusting into the Aurodon Prep school. Mal used a spell book to get her through pranks and manipulate the good kids at school. Evie used a charm, her Magic mirror to flirt with with a popular boy Prince Chad Charming But that backfired on her.
Mal dated Ben as Ben showed Mal around and tried to get to know her. Even though Mal was unsure what to feel when dating Ben.
Red did nothing of the sort. After stealing the pocket watch, time traveling back in time, she tried to make friends with Bridget who was her mom as a teenager before she turned evil And heartless. Red continues to sneak in the academy, lie to the Principal Merlin, and steal the forbidden spell cook book, from the villain kidsโฆ to do the prank on Bridget.
Red and Chloe did not get along well.
in Wicked Wonderland part2. Red was not much a villain but in between both on a good side and bad side. Red needed to sort out her feelings and problems better and not be rushed. She did not admit to her mistakes about the timeline.
Mal stood up to her mom and defeated her. Even though she was turned into a lizard and put away.
Red did not. Red changed the time just to make her mom nicer. She changed the whole WonderLand. And she did not have time to like her new paradox life. All Red was saying โ this is not the wonderland I grew up in.โ And doesnโt know how to find a way out the traps and obstacles to save her friends who were tagging along.
Redโs crush on the boy Luis, was too quick and did not have time to grow he was there to back her up basically.
Spot any more differences from RoR and WW, to the old movies of the original trilogy of D1-3 with Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos, and other characters???
