I guess I understand but I think they could have kept it going and recasted. I think it's strange to end something because one of the actors passed away.
I still think they could've done what Pixar did when their voice actors died and have their characters still be around using archived or unused dialogue. Maybe his family said no?
honestly cameron’s death was such a shock and i was hoping that they wouldn’t disrespect his passing for money or content because it’s disney, im glad they addressed it but i hope if they do another movie they give him something more to honor his memory because my younger sister watches these movies as well and i believe it’s important for children to understand that sometimes good people pass away and that yes it’s sad but it’s a part of life and we should celebrate the wonderful memories they gave us while they were still with us
Yeah. We lost a great soul the day Cameron died. He died from epilepsy which I also have. Our community lost a great soul the day he died. He is still terribly terribly missed.
@@giraffe6856 I thought so too but by the end of the royal wedding thing it teased something with Alice in wonderland. Plus I think mal said something like our story has concluded but I feel like somebody else’s story has just begun. I don’t remember exactly
I think that the best way to possibly address Cameron Boyce’s passing would be through a scene of mal, Evie, and jay consoling jane about it. I mean Carlos and Jane were in a relationship of some sort, so if they wanted someone to exposition his passing without it sounding too forced, the best candidate would be her. In terms of what happened to Carlos… there are two options that would be the best outcome in my opinion. Either he died in an accident while trying to do something jane (such as trying to arrange where he wanted to propose), or he died saving the life of a dog (thematically the best in my opinion considering his fear of dogs in the beginning of the first movie, risking his life to save a family of dogs works really well as far as character arcs go). Yes, death itself is a sensitive subject, but I think Disney did good by removing Carlos from the story entirely. It’s honoring Cameron’s legacy by not replacing him with someone else just to keep the character in the story. A pretty good example of this is in kingdom hearts III. The Japanese voice actor for Phil (from Hercules) passed away, so to honor his role they made it so that Phil doesn’t speak at all in the third game.
I wonder how they would tackle Cruella's feelings towards it. Yeah she's evil but the films have established that the villains do love their kids in their own way, they just have trouble expressing it. So Cruella dealing with Carlos's passing could be a minor plot point. The friends paying her a visit to check in on her and give her some emotional support while she's in mourning
I do not think any of the original cast will be in any new movies. the whole reason this wedding was animated was because the cast didn't want to film without Cameron and I don't think they will ever be ready to do that. At best if they were going to address it he would have a statue or something in the world but that's it
I feel like Disney is not going to be that respectful and that regard kind of what I mean by that is the actor for black panther who we know they're not recasting died but the problem is it kind of screws with the animated side of the MCU so what I'm saying is I think they're not going to be cast in my action but they have to recast them in animation so you know yeah
I absolutely adored Luke from Jessie and Carlos at my age the movie went out. And I was absolutely horrified seeing that message when the movie appeared on screen saying for Cameron Boyce
I love your glam rock look, You pull it off so well that thought you were actually someone else that came out of time machine with that jacket and makeup too.
The reason they made this animated movie was because the main cast didn't want to continue filming without Cameron. And they won't, that was a closure thing for the fans. So it's more likely that we will hear about them in future movies, but not see them anymore.
if they do make a descendants 4, it'd probably not have much of if not anything with dove, booboo, and sofia because they only did the royal wedding stuff because it was animated. they had effectively said "disney, with all do respect, not doing it if it's live action without cameron" since cam was like family to them
Yeah, I remember there being an interview with Dove sometime after Cameron's passing, and she eluded that she wouldn't be returning to do more Descendants movies or Disney in general
Most movies if one of cast dies they are replaced by dopleganger actor or actress. Of course it's depend what movie is it. Like Dumbledore from Harry Potter movies was replaced because original actor died by old age.
I really love Cameron Boyce, his death was such a shock. Rarely celebrity deaths make me cry but hearing he passed made me ugly sob. I feel they did an alright job addressing it at least but still. It's sad.
Im so happy someones talking about this, for the longest time i thought it was just a weird fever dream. Not to mention youre rocking that look while reviewing it , just pure gold
@Lugi Isaulu I dot understand how this relates to the comment. Also even if you didn't mean it to sound rude, you shouldn't dismiss someone's death like that.
Slightly off topic but as huge Disney villain fan, I do hope for Negative Legends to discover Disney Twisted Wonderland soon Especially with the English release in some weeks
Also the Disney villain series by Selena Valentino because those books are surprisingly good and also one of them the Maleficent book kind of explains a pothole in descendants regarding Audrey if you really read in between the lines like I did it gives her a better reason for using the septer I also say that the most dark book in the series is probably mother knows Best which is about mother gothel the most realistic book is evil thing which is about culled DeVille also they also made another book series that's Disney's twisted tales which basically is what if something happened differently like what if Rapunzel's hair had the power to kill people, what if Mulan went to the underworld, what if Cinderella never got the glass slipper put on at the end of her movie, what if Ursula won and it goes on from there by the way you can read the twisted tales in any older you want but you have to read the villain series in order because there's a lot of callbacks to previous books and there's an overarching story to it
Originally I thought with Cameron’s passing that they were going to say that Carlos was really busy helping the wedding and couldn’t join the team. The was they acknowledged it was pretty tasteful.
They could've done what Pixar did when their voice actors died and have their characters still be around with archived or unused dialogue. Maybe his family said no?
I wanted to mention this in case there are people who haven't figured this out yet. Uma and Mal aren't just friends, their family. Second cousins to be exact. Hades and Poseidon are brothers. In Disney canon, Triton (Ariel's father), has two younger sisters, Ursula and Morgana who are the children of Poseidon. And since Poseidon is technically Mal's uncle and Uma's grandfather, they are cousins. This is why in the 3rd movie, them working together can reignite the ember. Hades says that the ember won't do everything it does for him in her possession because she's a demigod. But technically, Uma is a demigod as well, making them 2 halves of a whole. It makes a lot more sense when you think about this. Also if Celia is half sisters with Freddie and Uma (who are full sisters) then it also explains why Dr. Faciliar's daughter is Hades errand rat. It's all connected.
I genuinely enjoyed this short. It felt to me like it effectively closed the story for the main four. I actually really loved that there wasn't a conflict, because there didn't have to be. Life isn't just about conflict and solving problems, it's also about the nice moments you get to have with the people around you, and I feel like this short perfectly portrayed that side. We never fully get to see what they do when there's no problems, so in a way this made the characters feel more like people.
Of anything I thought it was a little weird that Disney is promoting a wedding to it's audience knowing full well that the characters are supposed to be in high school. But other than that, the whole “small wedding instead” bit was not only a slap in the face to the characters who planned a big wedding but also to the fans since they were hyping this special on tv so much that for them to not even show said wedding is really underwhelming
I'm pretty sure it's implied that the characters are supposed to be 18 in this which makes sense to me because you can get married and I think what Ben did was in descendants 3 was he proposed so they can get married when they graduated which they did like a lot of teenage trilogies do that they are about teenage characters as well where the final movie is the last one in high school or if it the last movie overall it's about graduating it's a very trope with this genre especially if you noticed stuff like that it's very much a trand
The Royal Wedding needs more budget, I still don't know why they went with this style over the 3D CGI one(that looks way better). I think they handled Carlos as best as they could, but the rest of the special is kind of boring and stiff. And it doesn't feel “Disney“, they have way better ways to do animation, even quick ones like this.
Yeah I think fan animations could do better in places, even the designs feel like fanart put into motion its stylised in such a non-Disney way. A lot of the motions are quite ambitious so it feels like they hired a fanartist and paired them with an experienced animator and they alone had to animate the entire thing in a fairly short amount of time
The animation for that is kinda... if I didn't know it was a Disney show, I'd have thought it was by a more indie production due to the frame rate. I have seen your Alice in Wonderland video. I'm wondering what you think of the horror game American Mcgee's Alice.

Started the video and my first thought was “hot DAMN Negative Legends looks INCREDIBLE today!!!!” The black lipstick and flipped over hair really works amazing on you, I hope you do this sort of look more often in the future!
9:25 I think that one Easter Egg is also hinting at Twisted Wonderland, which is a Disney mobile game that's kinda like this except for teens/adults and is done A LOT better. BTW, that's finally dropping in the west on January 20th and has early sign up now. Edit: Stick to the fan translations by Shel_BB. They're higher quality. They contain characters swearing!
FINALLY! My only way of getting Twisted Wonderland content was through an artist on instagram that translated it on their stories. I'm so glad it's being localized, it feels like I've been waiting forever
*Easy fix for the plot:* Audrey has tunnel vision with her wedding planning and managed to make a mistake. That mistake led to an accident that Hades was unfortunate enough to be in the middle of which resulted in him accidentally setting the wedding on fire. This creates a misunderstanding that they resolve with Hades, but now they are suspicious of Audrey. Even though they let her plan the wedding, it's still hard to work with her, not to mention that she was a villain in the third movie and was jealous of Mal. Audrey is hurt by this and struggles to express herself, but proves herself by outdoing herself on the wedding planning (Not the inconsiderate idea Ben and Mal had and avoiding the nonchalant magic use. I get that the closest family is most important theme the movie had going, but they are literally King and Queen). *Side note as an artist:* 25 FPS for heaven's sake. It's NOT hard at all when the company is literally DISNEY.
I liked the fact that we had closure, story-wise, for the original cast with this special, but the animation was just...no. This is DISNEY, and they couldn't even stay on model. And we continue with white-washing characters in non-live-action media. I do like that the characterization was consistent, even if the plot is threadbare. The animated shorts featuring Mal and Evie that lead up to the wedding - Mal choosing her cake, getting her dress, asking Evie to be her maid-of-honor - were all far better in terms of animation quality. Wicked World was better in terms of animation quality. Pick a cartoon adapted from a big-budget animated Disney film from the 90s, and it had better animation quality. That is my real sticking point with this special. Also, lizard!Maleficent has gotten a bit larger, it seems. Maybe she's finally turning a corner?

I hope that the episode was already planned to happen and carlos was only mentioned to acknowledge camerons death, rather than it being made/mentioned just so they can now ignore it. "if any fan asks where carlos is, just direct them to the special! because that's the best course of action!" /s
Oh. 😳 Oh, I'm kinda into it. BUT ABOUT THE WEDDING. I was somewhere between "underwhelmed" and "perfectly whelmed." My favorite part was when Fairy Godmother said Hades was "so muscular" because I cackled and ran to the discord server like, "Was anyone gonna mention this?" And someone said, "Nope. Everyone needed to hear that for themself."
there will not be another movie at least not with this cast the whole reason this special was animated is because this cast is so traumatized by Cameron's death they could not be back on set without him and I actually respect Disney for listening to the cast and doing what was best for their mental health over profits
I didn't think they would talk about Cameron in the episode and as someone who also has epilepsy, this makes me terrified that I could have a seizure in my sleep and die.
I'm worried now that they won't address Cameron passing in the next film bc this short was about dipping their toes in the water to see fan reaction, and if they see enough people being satisfied with this they'll think its a sign to not overdo it... And instead it will come across as NL explained, like this animation exists just to sweep it under the rug which will instantly change opinions of the short and the franchise as a whole 😢
I just wish there wasn't a wedding quite yet, I'll be honest. It doesn't feel like there was a solid smooth growth into the marriage. Not to mention it probably shouldn't have been made if they were going to cheapen it. The dialogue isn't great, the frame rate is sad, and the topic of Cameron felt more of a throwaway (although it could've been handled way worse). I can't believe I'm saying this but Riverdales episode on an actor's death was very well done and respectful, not just a single line of a cheaply produced special. The bracelet was a good choice. TLDR; I just think it was too soon for this special.
havent watched the video yet, but teen/kid girl shows try to write until they turn 18 so the main couple get married because "hey! at least theyre legal age!" is there a name for that trope?
Its still weird to me he's just gone, there were still projects he worked on coming out this year. Also I thought they weren't making any more Descendants movies in general after the third one so idk what they're doing now with the cliffhanger
I feel like this is becoming a trope now in Disney then there must be a wonderland spin off like once upon a time golly spin-off series called once upon a Time in wonderland and that was made by Disney so this is a little quiet that we imagining some fairy tales now have wonderland spinoffs that's what I'm saying because that's a weird trend I know this it could just be a coincidence but that's what I'm saying
It's almost definetely a reference to twisted wonderland! Disney is closing the book on Descendants and is asking people to turn their attention to twst now
"I don't always look like this... But I could." Negative, you should. You should always look like this. You look amazing. ...after saying that, I'll spare you by rant on lack of consistency.
I think it's not magic bad, It's more magic was used to fight the villains but with the villains locked away, the reason for the magic is no more. And budget cuts for CGI killed them using more.
You know what it actually makes sense especially because this is a trope in media where oh you have magical powers but if you don't not use them to fight bad guys and do it irresponsibly for your own personal gain then I'm sorry we're taking away your Powers so it was a very very tone down example of that yeah it makes sense
Love your glam rock look. I was wondering if you could do a book review of the School of Good and Evil books since there's going to be a Netflix adaption of the first book.
off topic but I went to check Nab fully expecting my favorite fandom not to be included despite what you said since it's fairly small currently (it's Seraph of the End by the way!) and I was super shocked but also insanely happy to see that it was in fact there! Thanks to Nab for adding OnS and thank u Negative Legend for promoting them, otherwise I'd never have found such cute merch!!
The last span was actually a advertisement of Twisted Wonderland, which is something Japanese Disney made, which is basically the same idea as the descendants, but it’s a game, and has a game coming.
Finally someone is discussing The Royal Wedding. When it was released it was under the radar and most Descendants fans slept on it. I'm so glad you're covering it!
9:28 that was referencing a game called twisted wonderland it's basically about the mc being trap in the twst universe in a school which is based on villians from Disney
It's interesting that they didn't make an "excuse" for why Carlos was not there. I really thought they would pull up "Oh, Carlos decided to transfer school" or something like that.
Was it just me or did everything feel so slow… Like literally animation feel like it was played 1.0x speed? Continuity being thrown out why not the magic too. Besides that I’m excited for Alice in Wonderland now. Let’s paint roses red.
Choppy animation is considered a good thing now with things like spiderverse and puss in boots making it good That means that the lower frame rate makes the animation better so the royal wedding is really good
I've never been a huge fan of modern Disney's shows. But Cameron's death was such a shock. He seemed like such a nice and talented kid. Such a shame. I can't even imagine what his parents are going through
I understand that they are talking about the Disney hades, but I’m annoyed that hades keeps on being portrayed as this whole villain. He’s actually probably the least bad of all the Greek gods
Although it was sad to see they lost a member and honestly when I heard the news I cried really hard cause Carlos is my favorite and will always be so to accept his death is actually quite hard. But I would really like to thank Disney cause they give honor to his character by leaving him out from the cast of the royal wedding movie and even give a sneak peek of the team missing him. So I am truly grateful cause it means that nobody can replaced Cameron Boyce as Carlos in this world and the fact that they made the latest movie into a cartoon instead must because it has been hard for others to actually address the situation in reality. For the three of them which is Dove, Booboo and Sofia to accept this must have been so hard so I hope they will move forward with their memories of Cameron and will have the chance to show their true feelings about this. We love you VKs and We Love You Cameron a.k.a Carlos. Rest in Peace.
Bestie I am obsessed with your lipstick & I could not stop looking at it the whole time. Idk why but your look reminds me of maleficent, which is fitting for the vid
This animation makes me feel...SO MUCH better Abt my art ngl Some days I struggle and my imposter syndrome pops up but then I look at thing like this ✨
Alice in wonderland is one of my favorites too so if Descendants don’t do it justice I’m a lose it because I hated how people tore into the live action
I have heard that the ending of this special was made to open the door to a new descendants series, so they are saying goodbye to these characters since Cameron passed.
There is another tribute at the end This was meant to close out and end the chapters of mal evie Carlos Jay The next movie is intended to set up new characters with new stories There is more to the franchise than just Carlos It’s bridging the gap for new stories
I found one of the two fandoms I put in Nab, but that's because I searched up ones who aren't/aren't currently doing merch stuff because they are two music artists and not a game or something, but I'll search up games and stuff I like and I think it will help me a lot. Thanks
I was not expecting them to address Cameron Boyce's death. I'm happy they didn't replace him. It feels a bit more respectful.

I feel for Cameron Boyce's family. My little brother also has seizures and has epilepsy. The only difference is, well, he's six.
Cameron Boyce's last name is pronounced "Boice" (rhymes with voice), not "Bo-Chee."
It sounds more like ''boys ''
I wanted to mention this in case there are people who haven't figured this out yet.
Uma and Mal aren't just friends, their family. Second cousins to be exact.
Hades and Poseidon are brothers. In Disney canon, Triton (Ariel's father), has two younger sisters, Ursula and Morgana who are the children of Poseidon. And since Poseidon is technically Mal's uncle and Uma's grandfather, they are cousins.

@Ben Smith Choppy animation is considered a good thing now with things like spiderverse and puss in boots making it good
That means that the lower frame rate makes the animation better so the royal wedding is really good

Started the video and my first thought was “hot DAMN Negative Legends looks INCREDIBLE today!!!!” The black lipstick and flipped over hair really works amazing on you, I hope you do this sort of look more often in the future!
The Carlos hits deep… but how did he die in the “story of the movie”.
Rip Cameron boice 🌹
why did they choose to do like a frame per second they only needed like ONE more frame and itd look so much better its freaking disney
9:25 I think that one Easter Egg is also hinting at Twisted Wonderland, which is a Disney mobile game that's kinda like this except for teens/adults and is done A LOT better. BTW, that's finally dropping in the west on January 20th and has early sign up now.
Edit: Stick to the fan translations by Shel_BB. They're higher quality. They contain characters swearing!
It's also getting an anime in Disney plus
When I saw that I just thought riddle is doing some interdimentional shenanigans
… lemme pre order
FINALLY!
FINALLY! My only way of getting Twisted Wonderland content was through an artist on instagram that translated it on their stories. I'm so glad it's being localized, it feels like I've been waiting forever
*Easy fix for the plot:* Audrey has tunnel vision with her wedding planning and managed to make a mistake. That mistake led to an accident that Hades was unfortunate enough to be in the middle of which resulted in him accidentally setting the wedding on fire. This creates a misunderstanding that they resolve with Hades, but now they are suspicious of Audrey. Even though they let her plan the wedding, it's still hard to work with her, not to mention that she was a villain in the third movie and was jealous of Mal. Audrey is hurt by this and struggles to express herself, but proves herself by outdoing herself on the wedding planning (Not the inconsiderate idea Ben and Mal had and avoiding the nonchalant magic use. I get that the closest family is most important theme the movie had going, but they are literally King and Queen).
*Side note as an artist:* 25 FPS for heaven's sake. It's NOT hard at all when the company is literally DISNEY.
I liked the fact that we had closure, story-wise, for the original cast with this special, but the animation was just...no. This is DISNEY, and they couldn't even stay on model. And we continue with white-washing characters in non-live-action media. I do like that the characterization was consistent, even if the plot is threadbare. The animated shorts featuring Mal and Evie that lead up to the wedding - Mal choosing her cake, getting her dress, asking Evie to be her maid-of-honor - were all far better in terms of animation quality. Wicked World was better in terms of animation quality. Pick a cartoon adapted from a big-budget animated Disney film from the 90s, and it had better animation quality. That is my real sticking point with this special.
Also, lizard!Maleficent has gotten a bit larger, it seems. Maybe she's finally turning a corner?

I hope that the episode was already planned to happen and carlos was only mentioned to acknowledge camerons death, rather than it being made/mentioned just so they can now ignore it. "if any fan asks where carlos is, just direct them to the special! because that's the best course of action!" /s
Oh. 😳 Oh, I'm kinda into it.
BUT ABOUT THE WEDDING. I was somewhere between "underwhelmed" and "perfectly whelmed." My favorite part was when Fairy Godmother said Hades was "so muscular" because I cackled and ran to the discord server like, "Was anyone gonna mention this?" And someone said, "Nope. Everyone needed to hear that for themself."
there will not be another movie at least not with this cast the whole reason this special was animated is because this cast is so traumatized by Cameron's death they could not be back on set without him and I actually respect Disney for listening to the cast and doing what was best for their mental health over profits
I didn't think they would talk about Cameron in the episode and as someone who also has epilepsy, this makes me terrified that I could have a seizure in my sleep and die.
I'm worried now that they won't address Cameron passing in the next film bc this short was about dipping their toes in the water to see fan reaction, and if they see enough people being satisfied with this they'll think its a sign to not overdo it... And instead it will come across as NL explained, like this animation exists just to sweep it under the rug which will instantly change opinions of the short and the franchise as a whole 😢
"I don't always look like this! But I could!"
audjdjdjdj please you make a great hades (compliment)
Can we talk about the preciousness of his lips like ahah love them!
Love the jacket and the content 🖤✨🦋
I just wish there wasn't a wedding quite yet, I'll be honest. It doesn't feel like there was a solid smooth growth into the marriage. Not to mention it probably shouldn't have been made if they were going to cheapen it. The dialogue isn't great, the frame rate is sad, and the topic of Cameron felt more of a throwaway (although it could've been handled way worse). I can't believe I'm saying this but Riverdales episode on an actor's death was very well done and respectful, not just a single line of a cheaply produced special. The bracelet was a good choice.
TLDR; I just think it was too soon for this special.
The fact your voice tone can change so much and you can have so much enthusiasm but your facial expression doesn’t change at all
havent watched the video yet, but teen/kid girl shows try to write until they turn 18 so the main couple get married because "hey! at least theyre legal age!" is there a name for that trope?
It might be included under the "happily ever after" trope?
I just... It's really weird that they do that. But I guess in the world of Fantasy land where everyone marries young- at least it's consistent?
@@cryforhelp7270 i think bc its for kids, they wanna promote some form of chastity😅?
@@janaekelis So theyre encouraging kids to not only marry young- but with the first person you fall in love with.
@@cryforhelp7270 I wouldn't call it encouraging,but it is strange
Its still weird to me he's just gone, there were still projects he worked on coming out this year. Also I thought they weren't making any more Descendants movies in general after the third one so idk what they're doing now with the cliffhanger
I feel like this is becoming a trope now in Disney then there must be a wonderland spin off like once upon a time golly spin-off series called once upon a Time in wonderland and that was made by Disney so this is a little quiet that we imagining some fairy tales now have wonderland spinoffs that's what I'm saying because that's a weird trend I know this it could just be a coincidence but that's what I'm saying
The original cast isn't going to do any more movies, but Disney could, and likely will, do more with the series with new characters.
It's almost definetely a reference to twisted wonderland! Disney is closing the book on Descendants and is asking people to turn their attention to twst now
Loved how you talked about Carlos❤
Also love your look
"I don't usually look like this! ...but I could." You Should.
My question is why does Jay suddenly look like Li Shang from Mulan?
"I don't always look like this... But I could."
Negative, you should. You should always look like this. You look amazing.
...after saying that, I'll spare you by rant on lack of consistency.
I think it's not magic bad, It's more magic was used to fight the villains but with the villains locked away, the reason for the magic is no more. And budget cuts for CGI killed them using more.
You know what it actually makes sense especially because this is a trope in media where oh you have magical powers but if you don't not use them to fight bad guys and do it irresponsibly for your own personal gain then I'm sorry we're taking away your Powers so it was a very very tone down example of that yeah it makes sense
Love your glam rock look. I was wondering if you could do a book review of the School of Good and Evil books since there's going to be a Netflix adaption of the first book.
I love how you thanked your partner in the video.
This is the first video i seen ever and im only here for the glam rock look, so much swag
I love this look on you its unique and suits you well its honestly refreshing to see this kind of stuff
Just stopped down in the comment section to say you should keep up this look! It’s fabulous! I love it
off topic but I went to check Nab fully expecting my favorite fandom not to be included despite what you said since it's fairly small currently (it's Seraph of the End by the way!) and I was super shocked but also insanely happy to see that it was in fact there! Thanks to Nab for adding OnS and thank u Negative Legend for promoting them, otherwise I'd never have found such cute merch!!
The last span was actually a advertisement of Twisted Wonderland, which is something Japanese Disney made, which is basically the same idea as the descendants, but it’s a game, and has a game coming.
Finally someone is discussing The Royal Wedding. When it was released it was under the radar and most Descendants fans slept on it. I'm so glad you're covering it!
negative. please. i am begging you. look like this more.
9:28 that was referencing a game called twisted wonderland it's basically about the mc being trap in the twst universe in a school which is based on villians from Disney
Wow. Legend is ready to kick ass
It's interesting that they didn't make an "excuse" for why Carlos was not there.
I really thought they would pull up "Oh, Carlos decided to transfer school" or something like that.
0:04 You look amazing! 💙
I'm loving the look👌
Was it just me or did everything feel so slow… Like literally animation feel like it was played 1.0x speed?
Continuity being thrown out why not the magic too. Besides that I’m excited for Alice in Wonderland now. Let’s paint roses red.
I sped it up because it was too slow.

I've never been a huge fan of modern Disney's shows. But Cameron's death was such a shock. He seemed like such a nice and talented kid. Such a shame. I can't even imagine what his parents are going through
Honestly I think all the animation budget went to the trailers, cause those were amazingly animated.
Imma put it soo, my dude, you look darn good, with and without makeup
And you darn have the style too.
And as always, thank you for the video!
that shade of blue is definitely your color!!!
I understand that they are talking about the Disney hades, but I’m annoyed that hades keeps on being portrayed as this whole villain. He’s actually probably the least bad of all the Greek gods
I'm living for your look 😍 love your aesthetic
Honestly? I LOVE your makeup in this video, Negative Legend 💙
I like how you stopped mid sentence to explain your outfit lmao iconic
That Alice in Wonderland Video was the very First Video i had watched from your channel, 9:51
'They went straight from "I am evil!" to "OMG, bestie, what's up, girl?" ' part would make such a wonderful tiktok sound.
I like descendants, it's one of my favorite Disney properties
The colors of Lizard Maleficent changed in every installment of this franchise
This is the only channel where I ever comment on the appearance of the creator because YOU ARE ALWAYS ON POINT.
I’ve been so obsessed with Glamrock Freddy and Security Breach! I love the look!
I just want to say that Negative Legend looks ✨glamorous✨
Although it was sad to see they lost a member and honestly when I heard the news I cried really hard cause Carlos is my favorite and will always be so to accept his death is actually quite hard. But I would really like to thank Disney cause they give honor to his character by leaving him out from the cast of the royal wedding movie and even give a sneak peek of the team missing him. So I am truly grateful cause it means that nobody can replaced Cameron Boyce as Carlos in this world and the fact that they made the latest movie into a cartoon instead must because it has been hard for others to actually address the situation in reality. For the three of them which is Dove, Booboo and Sofia to accept this must have been so hard so I hope they will move forward with their memories of Cameron and will have the chance to show their true feelings about this. We love you VKs and We Love You Cameron a.k.a Carlos. Rest in Peace.
Bestie I am obsessed with your lipstick & I could not stop looking at it the whole time. Idk why but your look reminds me of maleficent, which is fitting for the vid
THIS LOOK!!! Saw it on preview and clicked on the video without even reading the title ahah. Absolutely amazing, suits you so much
And here I was thinking you dolled yourself all up for the royal wedding! ✨
This animation makes me feel...SO MUCH better Abt my art ngl
Some days I struggle and my imposter syndrome pops up but then I look at thing like this ✨
DAMN THE LOOK 😳😳😳
Again NOT the boy-chi.😂😭🤚🏾
Man looking like a new kiss member
Ya know what
I'm for it
Alice in wonderland is one of my favorites too so if Descendants don’t do it justice I’m a lose it because I hated how people tore into the live action
I hope they keep the daughter of Alice from wicked world. I forgot her name but she was pretty funny to me.
I have heard that the ending of this special was made to open the door to a new descendants series, so they are saying goodbye to these characters since Cameron passed.
Your look in this video is EVERYTHING!!
I'm indeed surprised about how you look because you just keep looking cooler and cooler over time and I'm just really jealous T.T
Oh my god.
This look might be one of my favourites.
I find it so cool that you just do you. Favorite youtuber 💪🏻😊
i hope glam rock looks that match the video topic are a consistent thing, you look rad as hell
There is another tribute at the end
This was meant to close out and end the chapters of mal evie Carlos Jay
The next movie is intended to set up new characters with new stories
There is more to the franchise than just Carlos
It’s bridging the gap for new stories
Love the jacket. I could NEVER use make-up so well.
I found one of the two fandoms I put in Nab, but that's because I searched up ones who aren't/aren't currently doing merch stuff because they are two music artists and not a game or something, but I'll search up games and stuff I like and I think it will help me a lot. Thanks
GOOD VIDEO, nobody else thinks they are too young to get married, I don't understand why such a rush
You look fabulous!
Hoooooly~ YOU LOOK AMAZING! ...I think I need to try out that look next.
i havent seen the video yet BUT OMFG I LOVE YOUR MAKEUP
Honestly you should really always look that way. It looks so good!!!
