Last week, Disney's highly anticipated Cruella opened in theaters, and it's already had some great reviews (98% on Rotten Tomatoes!) and sparked some...lively conversation.
Emma Stone's Cruella isn't anything like the version portrayed by Glenn Close in 101 Dalmatians (1996). She's ~edgy~ and rated PG-13.
Fans and critics raced to Twitter to share their hot takes about this latest film in the 101 Dalmatians universe. Here are some of the best Cruella tweets:
🚨WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD🚨
1.
The fact that the Cruella movie doesn't have a sad cover version of Who Let the Dogs Out in a minor key for its trailer or for that opening death scene is just a huge missed opportunity.
2.
cruella deville’s mother being killed by dalmatians is the funniest possible origin story. like what if batman had said “i am going to wear robbers”
3.
this is the last thing cruella’s mom saw before she died
4.
I’m not going to side with Cruella but I’m also not going to pretend that 101 isn’t too many Dalmatians
5.
"how can we make it seem like Cruella isn't a future dog abuser?" Disney: "idk give her a pet dog" "but that doesn't make sen-" Disney: "give her 2 dogs"
6.
Between “there was no plan for the Star Wars sequel trilogy” and “Cruella’s tragic backstory is that dalmatians killed her mom” I hope every indie creator who has ever experienced self-doubt over their storytelling skills and/or professional competency is feeling very reassured.

20.
how dare you ask "what is the point of the cruella movie" or "who is this for," you fucking rube. you worm. the computer said it would make money. you are nothing
21.
Cruella is actually killing Dalmatians because she's trying to make the full set of Dalmatian armor, but she needs a Dalmatian Gem to complete it and the gem won't drop no matter how many she kills.
22.
For $30 the Cruella movie had better be a masterclass on making luxury cloaks out of dogs
