I didn't get it, so looked to see if the answer was on other sites. Full credit to Tisha Bell on Facebook.
"if you notice, around a certain time, there stopped being villains and became more about breaking generational traumas, and believing in yourself"
Ah yes, the very specific type of therapist who works with things like "self-esteem" and "trauma".
There literally are villains as well. So idk wtf this is a hot.
There're no real villains in Moana or Encanto, and the villain in Frozen doesn't play a role anywhere near as big as in classic or Renaissance era Princess movies. I've not seen Raya and don't really remember the plot of Brave, but I do see some people making similar comments about each of them.
Stepping a little outside the classic "Princess" genre, Inside Out, Elemental, Soul, and Turning Red don't really have villains either (according to what I'm reading—Inside Out is the only one I've actually seen).
For movies within this era that actually have proper villains, that leaves Luca, Wish, and Coco. As far as I can tell, that's it.
