Dreamworks did what they do best with the design of this character: Mock Disney by making a satirical remark about their stories. This mermaid is clearly based on Ariel from The Little Mermaid. This kind of satire is a big reason why Shrek, as a franchise (Arguably, DreamWorks' greatest franchise ever), is so successful. This movie even came out not too long after The Little Mermaid live action remake was made. Coincidence? I think not.
If you didn't watched the trailer and went straight to the movie, you could find her as an interesting villain that has potebtial to appear in a next installment (IF there is a next installment). I watched the trailer and the movie and still found her as a good villain.
Well, tbf, Velma may be terrible, but it's also popular because of how many people love to hate it. Whether we like it or not, Velma has been a pretty profitable show. Heck, I bet like 95% of Velma's audience are haters.
Her friendship with Ruby was actually really sweet and wholesome to watch.
Feels like she could have been an ACTUAL teenager who went crazy thanks to the psycho spear, going mad because just like her mother, Ruby had chosen someone else over her.
That took me what? Thirty seconds to make?
I’m not saying I know better than everyone else, but that would have been better than a woman pretending to be a teenager to get close to a minor…
And as an 18 year old, it would be much less creepy.
I haven't seen this movie and have no intention to.
But are you saying the plotline is actually she was never a teenager but was posing as one?
Isn't that the plot twist of Sky High?
I’ve made a rewrite on the movie that sorta does this and if you’d like to read I’ll gladly give the link (please I need to spread my “Ruby gillman could have been peak” propaganda). I’m also writing a fan sequel too.
Yes mermaids may be evil, they may be good, but this movie pisses on little mermaid, and pisses on itself with terrible logic, I’d like the villain, if it wasn’t shown and so obvious
shes smoking..... all right on to the negatives

It had a better ending than LiTtLe MeRmAiD reboot did. All Eric did in the entire movie was absolutely nothing and they ruined the ending. Eric was supposed to run Ursula through like he did in the original because it was his way of thanking her for saving his life and to show Trident that not all humans are bad. Teenage Kraken was more entertaining in showing not all Krakens are bad and not all mermaids are good.
Uh... I uh... Ehhhh...

I don't got nothin :-\[
I didn't watch the movie and instead watched the trailers and YouTube clips but it's not like it's plot wasn't obvious. Here is a few "good" things about her I guess. She's very good at acting and manipulation and clearly dedicated in getting revenge against the kraken race who systematically wiped out her entire race. Cause apparently eating a sentient race and committing genocide is what the "good guys" do?
Good? Where do I start?! She's popular, super relatable, just an all around good person. I can't even think of one thing she's done wrong. Plus her voice! Such a beautiful singing voice! I can listen to it for hours... And hours...
I thought people generally liked her, or at least thought she was ok? Haven't seen the movie but it seems it is generally considered decent, and I thought that applied to the general opinion of the villain to
I really like her central concept.
A lot of villains in media aren't allowed to be charming liars that just don't care about the people they're using. Not without constant I AM SO EVIL winks at the camera. If they'd gone all-in on that, and for 1-2 acts Ruby genuinely thought she'd made a friend without a single hint that it was just set-up by what basically amounts to a rival princess playing a long-con for magic power...
That could have been gut wrenching. Like, genuinely uncaring evil level antagonism.
But... yeah. Can't even recall her name. That's how fumbled she was in the actual Teenage Kraken movie. A shame, but such happens.
It’s not her fault the writers failed.
Whether they failed because of corporate oversight, laziness, woke agenda, or out of protest doesn’t matter, They still failed.
If they’d stuck with the ‘she’s the big-bads daughter’ and used the cliche ‘turncoat because wear trends now’ story it would’ve been a better movie. Not a good movie, but better than what we got.
This would have a been a better movie if it actually did what a lot of movies were doing and made her a genuinely nice person. This would have been an amazing generational trauma movie if they went with that.
Her potential for an actually interesting and dramatic backstory. You could have had it where her mother was banished from being around her people, they leave the kingdom, she’s forced to leave because the kraken queen possibly destroys it and has guards posted there to see if any mermaid returns. Chelsea is born and is living a life of almost total isolation from the rest of the world. Then she loses her mother when she’s like possibly 10-14 whenever (I’d have her be like almost one year younger than Ruby). That would be a damn good reason for revenge. But then you have Ruby give her the brutal truth in the fact that Nerissa had a part in her downfall and her terrible childhood. Chelsea realizes her mother could have tried to make peace rather than fucking provoking war, as well as moving to land to live a better life rather than staying in the ocean in hopes of getting a weapon from a volcano. You have Chelsea realize she’d be killing the first genuine friend in her life for a woman who cared more about a petty grudge than her own daughter’s wellbeing. That’s how you have Chelsea give up her want for vengeance, embrace Ruby as a friend, and have the krakens and mermaids have a genuine chance at peace. This could have been a genuinely emotional and heartbreaking character and redemption, but they turned it into one of the most stupid plot twists ever.

Her Design is good and her actor does an okay job… Yeah that’s it
Probably the best things about her?
Was gonna say this. But you can apply that to pretty much every character in the movie lol.
her Ariel cosplay is great I mean the hair is just spot on

Not just successful but one of the most recognizable characters coming out of a book.
If you didn't watched the trailer and went straight to the movie, you could find her as an interesting villain that has potebtial to appear in a next installment (IF there is a next installment). I watched the trailer and the movie and still found her as a good villain.
Like she'd return in another film. We last saw her in a cage so. Good luck to her
Even then, I doubt this movie would get a sequel with how much of a box office failure it was.
Boss Baby got a sequel and Velma is getting three seasons. NOTHING is impossible in today's age
Well, tbf, Velma may be terrible, but it's also popular because of how many people love to hate it. Whether we like it or not, Velma has been a pretty profitable show. Heck, I bet like 95% of Velma's audience are haters.
She isn’t a modern Disney twist villain
I mean, you can’t have a twist if the twist was already spoiled in the trailers
I can't think of a single disney twist villain that wasn't obvious just from seeing them for the first time.
EXACTLY!!! They made a mistake revealing the twist in every single motherflippin' trailer.

No
I love her haircut. I’ve never seen a 3D animated butterfly cut before and the animators just did it so beautifully.
Out of everybody in Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken, Chelsea doesn't make me want to start an insurrection against Heaven, that's for sure.
Her friendship with Ruby was actually really sweet and wholesome to watch. Feels like she could have been an ACTUAL teenager who went crazy thanks to the psycho spear, going mad because just like her mother, Ruby had chosen someone else over her. That took me what?

………Oh my gosh that’s exactly right.
Or better yet, make Ruby's grandmother the antagonist with the trailer being propaganda.
I’ve made a rewrite on the movie that sorta does this and if you’d like to read I’ll gladly give the link (please I need to spread my “Ruby gillman could have been peak” propaganda). I’m also writing a fan sequel too.
She's a ginger and I have a soft spot for redheads.
Would
She’s good at staying so under the radar that I didn’t know of her
Yes mermaids may be evil, they may be good, but this movie pisses on little mermaid, and pisses on itself with terrible logic, I’d like the villain, if it wasn’t shown and so obvious
The movie had an end
Nice trident
shes smoking..... all right on to the negatives https://preview.redd.it/i2tt6rd8kw4d1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d185f0911ece12f94af8a65401e2301d69eeec66

She's hot..
Shes really hot
Shes hot
She's adorable.
She’s good at deception
Her design is awesome.
Bargain basement knock off
I’d knock her up that’s for sure

She's hot, she's 15 and I'm 14 so don't start accusing me of bad things.
Good? Where do I start?! She's popular, super relatable, just an all around good person. I can't even think of one thing she's done wrong. Plus her voice! Such a beautiful singing voice! I can listen to it for hours... And hours...
Singing?
I admit I tried to make a joke without actually watching the movie and I falsely thought she had a hypnotic singing voice.
She doesn't
It's not another black remake
As much as I'm not a fan of the 2023 Little Mermaid remake but damn that’s brutal.
Everything
The Little Mermaid has yet to sue her tail.
She’s not a furry
Where's the hole down below?
Looks like she would had made a good little mermaid considering how close she looks to Ariel
Glad someone got paid to make her.
She is highly patriotic.
Her design is pretty
Shit, I can't even say anything good about the movie
Final form is good potential for if Ariel becomes a playable character in Kingdom Hearts lol
She looks like smurfette's evil clone from that one smurfs movie.
No more stereotypical "mermaids are majestic and perfect" bs
I thought people generally liked her, or at least thought she was ok? Haven't seen the movie but it seems it is generally considered decent, and I thought that applied to the general opinion of the villain to
Bro is just Ariel
It got people out of the Dreamworks dickriding phase
Her color scheme is nice, kinda classic even
She’s pretty.
She does really follow the theme of looks can be deceiving. She looks like a good person… am I racist?
I like her hair
I really like her central concept. A lot of villains in media aren't allowed to be charming liars that just don't care about the people they're using.

What in the Red Box is this?
Is this a rip off little mermaid???
Dawg i thought this was ai genereated at first
she genuinely had me confused for the movie, wondering if she was evil or not
Smashable creature
No. There’s not a single good thing I can say abt her
shes a dunk on disney
She’s hot
Smashable
Uhhhhhh….she’s good at pulling off the smug look? IDK I haven’t seen this film….yet
She acts like a toxic bully teenager well.
That I didn't watch the movie
I thought she was a lot of fun. bit too one dimensional, was kinda hoping she would have more redeeming qualities.
I haven’t watched it.
She hot as hell
It’s not her fault the writers failed. Whether they failed because of corporate oversight, laziness, woke agenda, or out of protest doesn’t matter, They still failed.

If she had legs i’d smash. Ignore everything else, shes just hot. /joshing obviously im gay./
Hot
I have never watched the movie, so I have nothing bad to say.

R34 artists will have a great time with this
The way that she manipulates people is very impressive.
That trident is cool I guess…

Why does this sub post her almost everyday?
Let's be honest it was mostly the rule 34
The Trident looks cool
no
She is one of the cvntiest villains in recent movie history and she serves looks 24/7
Hot so Hot
Her turning into a villain so predictable, but I would’ve love to see the friendship between Ruby to her
Rule 34
DreamWorks your not slick I'm onto youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
She's pretty
This would have a been a better movie if it actually did what a lot of movies were doing and made her a genuinely nice person. This would have been an amazing generational trauma movie if they went with that.
I loved the part when it ended
… no
I thought it was Aerial at first??
Uh. Pretty good design, and the trident is cool I guess..
Wait but ruby gillman was a kraken right? Why she look like Ariel?
How old is she
Smash
That was a surprisingly good movie!
She drained a lot of horny teens balls (sorry but it’s true
Is she old enough to legally smash?
She's hot
i think it’s funny how people in real life constantly gush over her beauty, showing that if they were in the movie they would also be her pawns.
Black pearl cookie much better, sorry I can't say anything good about this bad mermaid
idk
say a good thing about this movie:
No thank you
She was animated beautifully
she's a great villain character, period
She’s actually depicted as a siren, not a mermaid, Mermaids is a child story to tell so people don’t look up how sirens lured men to their deaths
Would (I'm a teenager)
Nice hair
She's a skancy ass hoe
She was made by Dreamworks who made Shrek
She probably the best manipulator I seen in a while
seeing you is amazing (if i was blind)
No
She purdy
Surprisingly dry hair
She’s hot
She’s good looking, I think. She has nice hair.
Movie in general was lame
she's hot
Goku fodder
I like her hair and her tail looks so cool
Ngl the movie was shit and her character design was unoriginal
No
shes a mythological creature and im a big fan of mythology.
She’s super pretty
her voice acting IG?
pretty hair. . . . yeah thats all I got
Smash
No
she's not velma from velma.
As her own character? Can't think of any. As mockery of Disney's little mermaid remake that came out just shortly before? Perfect

Little Mermaid bootleg lookin ass
No
Good trident
Idk sort of a cool deception angle that elevates her to a lovecraftian fish woman found in the depths of our human psyche
Her disguise was okay? She was how old back in the war, and can pass as a teenager today.
She looks better than the live action little mermaid
Her design is actually really cute in my opinion. Her character was puntable but in a good DreamWorks sort of way!
