And that’s why he never wrote any before. He missed the new year fireworks too I guess.

More thoughts

And more spoilers to go with them.

Were all the songs in Ernesto’s movies also stolen from Héctor? I mean, Miguel thinks that he wrote all his own songs (pretty sure he stated that at one point but please correct me if I’m wrong), so it sounds like they were?

If that is true, I would like to offer the idea that both the song snippets in “Much Needed Advice” are about/inspired by his feelings for Imelda.

A feeling so close/you could reach out and touch it/I never knew I could/want something so much/but it’s true…

Please imagine an absolutely hopelessly lovesick Héctor singing about Imelda, being frustrated that he can’t figure her out, consoling himself with this song.

Only a song/only a song/has the power to change a heart

And I dunno maybe one of Héctor’s songs finally got through to her (the previous one? Un poco loco?) And she softened towards him, and he’s marvelling at how much a little song has managed to open her up and oh my God, he thought he was in love before but he is so in love now he can barely stand himself.

Just some screenshots about ernesto sempai… I mean ernesto de la cruz

What do you think about Ernesto?

a-little-ray-of-fantasy:

I personally think that he’s one of the best Twist Villains Disney/Pixar showed to date, maybe not to the levels of King Candy, but pretty close.
I guess it helps that all we knew about him was from the perspective of a fan (Miguel), so the twist worked better.

I usually feel pretty indifferent about twist baddies after they’ve revealed their true colors (Hans, Bellweather, Callaghan…), maybe because they kinda lose their charm after they spill out the beans (I myself am more of a fan of deliciously evil bad guys: they’re not realistically evil in any way, but they’re dang funny!)

But Ernesto? He’s actually clever: he killed Hector, and kept it a secret for almost a century, while at the same time boasting about it in his movies. It’s so disgustingly evil, that only a good amount of charm on his part could make that work, and I can’t help but applaud that.

And he was Hector’s childhood friend: the thought of someone killing his own brother figure just to get fortune and fame is absolutely despicable; Ernesto is a ruthless villain, and a well written one at that.

And that’s why he deserves everything bad happening to him! ^_^
