⚠️⚠️SPOILERS FOR ENCANTO⚠️⚠️
also unpopular opinions-
So I watched encanto last night and I really enjoyed the music, animation, and overall everything but the Story line. I really enjoyed the back story of encanto when Abuelas husband Pedro sacrificed himself and mourning Abuela basically made encanto with the candle. It was dark and I loved it.
But what I didn't like was Bruno, I loved the song we don't talk about Bruno. But one thing I hated about the character was that he wasn't even as bad or scary as we thought. Like in this verse:
" A seven-foot frame, rats along his back
When he calls your name it all fades to black
Yeah, he sees your dreams and feasts on your screams (hey)"
We think he's a scary villan but he's just a wimp living in the walls.
Also with Mirabel, in the trailer we see her going on this amazing adventure but instead she's just in casita. And she just goes behind a painting to see Bruno. Like I really did enjoy the secret room but I wish instead Bruno wasn't there and she needed clues to find him, to make the film seem like a young girl wanting to find her purpose.
Lastly, the ending. I didn't like how Maribel got powers, the story or theme of the movie was to stand out, even if your different. But she just becomes the same as everyone else.
