when will people stop going "AU where [x]" that changes a fundamental part of the universe
yesterday, it was "AU where Beast didn't discriminate against villains"
today, it's "make it so that auradon didn't imprison evil people on the isle right away/bring the villains back to life to put them on the isle"
"it'd make more sense and be less dystopian!"
okay but descendants is supposed to be dystopian
the isle has big brother-esque "we're watching you!"/"always choose good!" posters everywhere
they live with stale and rotting food in a kill-or-be-killed environment while the benevolent dictators completely ignore them
