HelpRe: Ursula
in reply to a message by RDNZL
i don't remember it so well, but she definitely seemed to have the most personality. i also like the whole octopus mermaid idea...actually, i like many elements of her design (her body shape, the cool rocker hair, the purple), which makes it such a shame that she was portrayed as ugly, and as wanting to look like Ariel (iirc?). if she had a friendlier face, she'd be beautiful.
and that's a cool way to describe the name- it definitely comes off as a little punk lmao.

James Adomian has a great bit about Ursula. There are curse words, so don't click if you're not into that kind of thing:

I read somewhere that Ursula was based on the drag queen Divine.

I love Divine, I wonder if it is true. I can definitely see similarities between the character and Divine.

that's especially awful then, and not surprising at all given Disney loves basing villains off of LGBT people (there's problems with drag culture, but it's of course associated with gay men, like Divine was, and trans people, and so of course Disney saw that as fitting villain inspiration)

The rest of Adomian's bit on gay/lesbian villains in movies is pretty good. I suggest checking it out, because he goes into all that, and it's pretty funny.

Makes sense.
