   #QuestionOfTheDay what's the worst heel turn (good character revealed/turned evil during the story) in a work of fiction you've consumed? Why was it a bad decision? (Bad execution? Bad idea if general? Goes against character/arc/theme? Twist for the sake of a twist? Etc)

     @waitworry that makes sense. I never liked the old Disney princess movies because they bored me, but I think the modern ones are also lacking something. It all feels too "meta" to me, like they're self aware of being a Disney movie and so it all feels like familiar tropes are just being subverted or done ironically and not like anything genuinely new is being done...

     Nala and Kiara are probably the best and most kickass princesses, even if they aren't official ones since they're lions...

     @lalah @ami_angelwings i kind of liked it because it teaches girls an important lesson about how sometimes the boy you like is an asshole

     Hans from Frozen being evil was pointless. It's like Disney didn't realize they could just leave out the prince archetype if they wanted a romance-free princess movie.

     @ami_angelwings Daenerys, Game of Thrones season 8. A completely unearned change in character from showrunners who had no idea how to finish the series.
