“#Emma Stone’s ‘Cruella’ trailer gets mixed fan reactions<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The trailer for Disney\u2019s \u201cCruella\u201d has arrived, but the mixed first impressions by fans are anything but black and white.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrilliant. Bad. A little bit mad,\u201d reads Wednesday\u2019s tweet<\/a> from the official \u201cCruella\u201d account on Twitter<\/a>, teasing the movie\u2019s May release date. The new 90-second trailer has been watched by some 5 million since the drop this morning.<\/p>\n

Reactions on social media range from the excited to the perplexed, with some comparing Emma Stone\u2019s turn as Estella de Vil, a\u2009k\u2009a \u201cCruella,\u201d to \u201cJoker,\u201d played sorrowfully by Joaquin Phoenix, who won an Oscar for the role directed by Todd Phillips. <\/p>\n

Despite critical praise, many fans of the \u201cBatman\u201d series<\/a> felt bewildered by Phoenix\u2019s dark and pitiful portrayal. <\/p>\n

\u201cDoes every villain in film history need to be jokerfied?\u201d asked one fan on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do love the premise of cruella is what if someone girlboss\u2019d so hard they became the joker,\u201d joked Vox writer<\/a> Alex Abad-Santos.<\/p>\n

Fans complain of a recent trend in Hollywood, especially Disney \u2014 looking at you, \u201cMaleficent\u201d \u2014 of taking a bona fide villain and making them more sympathetic to viewers.<\/p>\n

As one fan described<\/a>: \u201cI swear to god you pull a Maleficent and try to make this character, a character whose MAIN TRAIT is wanting to kill and skin puppies, into a \u2018sympathetic villain\u2019, I\u2019m gonna be so mad.\u201d<\/p>\n

One critic highlighted the absurdity<\/a> of the premise in a tweet-thread that imagined a board meeting between Disney executives \u2014 whose aim seems to have been to \u201cgive [Cruella] a backstory that explains all her motivations for wanting to murder dogs,\u201d and pin her against villains \u201cworse than the woman who just wants to murder dogs for fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether or not Disney filmmakers were indeed inspired by Phillips\u2019 comic opus hasn\u2019t stopped \u201cJoker\u201d from landing top trending spots on social media, alongside \u201cCruella\u201d and \u201cEmma Stone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Due out in May, \u201cCruella\u201d also stars Emma Thompson and Paul Walter Hauser (\u201cI, Tonya\u201d) as completely new characters to the \u201c101 Dalmatians\u201d story. The crime-comedy reveals how a young, \u201cmisunderstood\u201d fashion designer became the Dalmatian-puppy killer we know today \u2014 a backstory some never thought to ponder, according to one fan. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was always content with the understanding that cruella is the way she is because she\u2019s rich and british.\u201d<\/p>\n
