Dalmatians killed Cruella’s mom.
I wish I were joking.
 
Of course.  
Why else would they be that way?

See, Maleficent worked ok because the fantastical setting and the fact that evil sorcerers are just naturally interesting. There was more room to give that character an interesting backstory.
 
Cruella is just an evil industrialist and bog standard human. “Shuned witch turning evil and plaguing a royal family line” has more milage than “fashion designer who wants to murder puppies” both in terms of potential redemption arcs and general capacity to be interesting.
 
Because wizards are cool.

It’s like literally a joke from MST3K/RiffTrax.  
I’m going say Devilfish where they were doing the gags about electricians “Sorry about that crack about electricians. Electricians massacred my entire village.” Or something like that.  
That’s what this is basically.

I wish that more Kingdom Hearts games included common enemies that are natural inhabitants of the worlds you visit outside of boss battles.
 
KH2 had Undead Pirates alongside the Heartless and BBS included Maleficent’s Little Creature Goons who existed in the world to fight outside of scripted events.
 
Most KH games forget that Disney villains usually have their own armies or at least gang of lackey’s to start with, it’s not like they lacked the manpower to carry out their deeds before getting access to hordes of shadow monsters.
 
For example just look at how Captain Hook’s Crew and Shan Yu’s Military were totally absent, like how were these guys making any progress in their worlds before the Heartless showed up?

i think it’s becuase either Square Enix or Disney is not comfortable with the thought of Sora actually killing a real person.
 
ike with the pirates you can make the excuse of “they are already undead and can’t actual die until the last coin is returned to the chest” and with Maleficent thse are just magic creatures she made up.

KH forgets the FF part of the series being a FF/Disney crossover.
 
And while it didn’t forget the Disney half per se, as it went on they were definitely relegated to a backdrop as Nomura’s OCs randomly spout the words “Darkness”, “Friendship”, “Heart” et al in vaguely coherent sentences.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy were all present during this scene:
 
full
 
They didn’t do anything to prevent these deaths and just rolled with it.
 
If Square and Disney were actually concerned:
 
  1. Have The Trio get transported somewhere else so that they wouldn’t witness this scene.
     
  2. The Trio tries to convince Elizabeth and the others to spare Lord Beckett and his crew.
     
  3. At least have them react with total shock at the deaths of normal human beings and maybe even get angry at Jack and Co. for doing that.

My headcanon is the Oneyplays version of KHs Goofy, where he’s a murderous sociopath.
 
So not only did Goofy just roll with those deaths, he loved every minute of it.

You know what’s the worst? Having an idea for a set of characters and a setting, but having trouble coming up with an actual plot.

I’m primarily a fantasy reader but I’d like to get more into the horror genre sometime. I’ve already got Pet Semetary by Stephen King lined up on my “to-read” list but I would like to see if anyone here also has some recommendations for horror books. Dan Simmons’ horror stuff looks interesting. (Simmons is mostly known for the sci-fi novel series the Hyperion Cantos)
