Ok guys, it’s only about 9 years until Malia Baker or Kylie Cantrall say that Red and Chloe always had tension and that they are definitely lesbians just like Dove Cameron did with Mal and Evie 🔥

The way Rita Ora and Kylie Cantrall look so much alike is such great casting! Descendants: Rise of Red is so good so far!

The end of #Descendientes4 ? More impossible and poorly done, I suppose they are saving everything for a second part but they could have shown how the prank on the mother happened and then at least fixed it. Fatal, and a shame because I was liking the development 😣

That said: the cast and CGI are magnificent, they have fixed the supposed error that there was with Chad, they take advantage of the cast that already existed for Cinderella and Rita Ora and Kylie Cantrall are spectacular. But as I said, it wasn’t necessary to have such a bad ending for it to continue.

Descendants the ascension of cups starts well and then gets boring, the songs only 3 at most are good, the performances are mostly poor and the characters are not captivating.

Rita now doesn’t have a solo, being thrown aside in the film outraged me, Carlos’ death surprised me.

He is easily the worst in the franchise, other than that he works as a spin-off of descendants and the protagonists are good, especially Kylie Cantrall

Kenny was missed here.
