VilainsSéries

Cette série explore les profondeurs obscures des motivations et des origines de ceux qui se trouvent de l'autre côté du conte de fées. Elle examine les passés complexes et les transformations des personnages que nous avons connus comme des méchants. Chaque récit offre une perspective unique sur la manière dont les antagonistes sont devenus ce qu'ils sont, révélant leur humanité et leurs dilemmes. C'est un regard captivant sur les zones grises de la moralité et le pouvoir des circonstances.

For anyone who’s seen Walt Disney’s Snow White, you’ll know that the Wicked Queen is one evil woman! After all, it’s not everyone who wants to cut out their teenage step-daughter’s heart and have it delivered back in a locked keepsake box. (And even if this sort of thing is a common urge, we don’t know many people who have acted upon it.)Now, for the first time, we’ll examine the life of the Wicked Queen and find out just what it is that makes her so nasty. Here’s a hint: the creepy-looking man in the magic mirror is not just some random spooky visage—and he just might have something to do with the Queen’s wicked ways!
