This comment made me replay 2021 cruella in my head a bit.. the successful female asshole is successful since she does not play fair.. the younger female gets to be an asshole cuz she is poor / parents taken away (?) She then becomes a different asshole caring for only herself and single success, which her long time friends dislike.. then she gets to be a more sinister asshole because she has proof her victims have been more sinister (?)
the female lead was the same as devil wears prada right? so the typecast / emotional prejudice was already embedded..
I can see how this stuff is hard to write, once of the suicide squads tried so hard it should of just made up new characters imho.
but then this particular formula seems so easy to write - main characters get to do really bad things to people cuz those people did really bad things.
I guess this is the main appeal of spiderman type projects - they limit the bad things done to bad people (?)
I put question marks because my study and recollection of these things is of a real interest, but not well versed research / knowledge. I'm sure there is much more.
Frankly I've been disappointed in what movies/media/tv shows / social sharing - all this stuff has been teaching for lessons for a long time, I can't think of much that is done well for non-awful lessons I guess.
