Christi Esterle: The Diva

Quotes 

• The Diva : ...Thunderella is a very good example of how NOT to do a "cute" character. Cute characters are extremely hard to get right. It's not enough to draw something adorable and merchandise-friendly; they have to be fun without being forced, affectionate without being annoying, sweet without being cloying, and endearing without being nauseating. Thrown in giving them a genuine personality and function in the plot; the result is a tightrope walk that it takes a very skilled writer and creative team to navigate. Which brings us back to Thunderella: an unbearably precious kid with hyperactive body language; I won't mention her voice, especially when she sings.

• The Diva : ...Lord Maliss is *one stupid villain*. He has all these powers and abilities, but he *never uses them*. If he can turn into a dragon, why doesn't he just fly over Snow White and drop his petrification-cloak on her? If he can earn Snow-White's trust by making himself look like the Prince, why can't he just trick her into donning the cloak herself? Or simply zap her with his eye-beams, the way he does with the Shadow Man? I've seen some dumb antagonists in my time, but Maliss takes the sulfer-cake!
