Mickey and Minnie are to be expected, but some characters are royally mistreated when it comes to love.
Spoilers for Disney Dreamlight Valley are ahead if you care about that kind of thing.
Theres Nothing Wrong With Romance
Romance is a key part of classic Disney films.
When you first arrive, both characters are missing from the village.
Later, Kristoff sacrifices his memories of Anna to save the village from harm.
This is especially true with the perpetually single villagers, trapped in a loveless life with sub-par writing.
Take Mirabel for example.
Im not the only one that loves Encanto but hates her addition to the Valley.
Its The Writing That Matters
Even Villains arent safe from lackluster writing.
Theyre single and not willing to mingle.
How does the power-hungry Jafar have a less appealing questline than the ego-centric Gaston?
Whats more, the problem only spirals from there.
Characters that are missing their partners, like Tiana, fall flat.
While constant free updates are great, it feels like they need longer to cook.
The couples problem is just the tip of the iceberg.
Many Disney singles aren’t even included at all.
Im not all-knowing, but perhaps a glance at characters like Gaston or Ursula would help.
Both are Villains who get a second chance in the village (and theyre also single).
Despite Gaston being head-over-heels in love with Belle, he rarely mentions her.
Relying too heavily on player imagination and movie knowledge is detrimental.
Never forget ghost Minnie and the jump scares she caused.
Maybe its part of the grand scheme of things I cant see, or maybe its just lazy writing.
Giving a solo character a questline involving hosting an art class has been done one too many times.
He’s just a little guy.
