1. OK, let's just get the most obvious thing out of the way: Kuzco is a butt.
2. The reason Yzma was constantly making decisions for him is because dude had NO IDEA what he was doing.
3. Also, she was his ADVISOR. That's her JOB.
4. And then she's FIRED by the dude she BASICALLY RAISED since he was a baby. KUZCO IS THE VILLAIN HERE.
5. THEREFORE, her anger is totally justified. Expected, even.
6. And so, like any hero, she ventures on a quest to set things right and teach the bad guy a lesson.
7. AND she totally values teamwork.
8. Because, just like every other Disney heroine, Yzma has a sidekick.
Kronk >>>>>>>>>>>> every other Disney sidekick, let's just be honest about that.
9. She knows she's on a mission to right wrongs, and selflessly puts up with any obstacles along the way.
Being a hero isn't all fun and games. In fact, the fun and games are the worst parts.
10. She realizes that a true hero knows when to delegate.
11. She's a scientific GENIUS and is never given enough credit for it.
12. She also happens to be a FASHION HERO.
13. ... Even in the face of AGEISM.
14. Like any hero, she understands that her body is temple.
15. And Yzma is committed to total honesty, a trait all of us could use more of, tbh.
16. She's not afraid of hard work! She knows full well that sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty to get what you want.
17. Plus, how can such a cute little kitty NOT be the hero of the whole movie?
So let's hear it for Yzma, the true, unsung hero of The Emperor's New Groove.
Get it, girl.
