A Suggested Sequel.


Some people thinkthat some of the villains in Descendants (2015) were a little weak, so I have a suggestion for a "villain" to appear in any sequel to Descendants.

Norwood Gills from The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1995) tv movie remake. Norwood, a twelve-year-old college senior at Hale University, Medfield College's rival, is an antagonist to the protagonists. However, he is not actually a villain since the protagonists and other people are all villains, scheming to cheat prospective students at Medfield College by falsely claiming their educational system is highly advanced.

Norwood has a rather unlikable personality and opposes the Medfield College mob mostly for selfish reasons, but is certainly intelligent enough to realize that exposing their scam and restoring his reputation as the greatest genius will save thousands of people millions of dollars. Thus Norwood is the only person in the show who can possibly be considered a hero. The protagonists, on the other hand, are taking part in fraud and thus count as some of the villains in the tv movie.

It ends when two goons grab Norwood and drag him away on live television, claiming he is a notorious computer hacker. I'm sure that none of the kids watching were the least bit scared at the suggestion that children don't have enough rights for anyone to bother to ask the goons claiming to be government agents to show their credentials to prove which agency and which government they represent, let alone protest their seizure of Norwood, a famous and respected child.

I think that Norwood and his child - a genius even younger than Norwood was in the 1995 tv movie - could be seen plotting to reveal the truth, expose the cover ups, and restore Norwood's reputation as a hero, not the villain he has been portrayed.

Or Norwood could still be twelve years old (and more intelligent than all the other characters combined) sinceDescendants does not exactly select characters from the same historical era anyway.

And if the Disney Company did that in a sequel to descendants it would help to atone for the evil, warped, and twisted ethics of the 1995 The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes .
