Is there anyone more cruel than Cruella Deville? Maybe Thanos. Thanos is much more curel actually, but let's not talk about him or else we'll get into #InfityWar spoilers. Disney was so on-the-nose with that character that her name is literally Cruel one of Evil. I'm loosely translating, but you get the picture. She wanted to raise 101 puppies just to make a coat. What's disturbing about that is that you can easily find puppies elsewhere. They don't need to be your puppies. That crazy lady just wanted to see the puppies killed, didn't she?
Still, there is something oddly hot about Ms. Deville. It must be the confidence. She knows what she wants and she goes out and gets it. That's a lesson to you ladies. Be so confident that you could kill 101 puppies and people would still adore you.
