## Her Qualities

### What Makes Her Entertaining?

* Her transformation from queen to witch is very iconic and fun to watch, as is her expertise with magic.
* She is known for being one of the scariest Disney antagonists, with both of her designs being very creepy and passing an intimidating aura. Her macabre home decor where she awesomely collects the skulls of her victims makes her a pretty trendy supervillain putting it lightly and her taste in villainous adornments is a very bold though not genuinely unreasonable addition to a children's movie. She also doesn't have any drama or awkward bang-ups about accepting she's evil; she just accepts her innately psychopathic mentality and is usually pretty honest in general. Overall, her enigmatic vibe as the queen and her "Evil is Cool" vibe as the witch make her a diabolical delight every time she's on-screen.
* She is very resourceful and a quick thinker when she took a stick to pry a boulder out from some pebbles to solve the issue of being gravely outnumbered, especially because at the end of the day, no matter how amusing she found the situation, it still really was out of self-defense.
* While this doesn't make her remotely sympathetic, it's become a meme that the Magic Mirror comparing her to a teenager is absolutely asinine not to mention very creepy and this could have prevented all of this madness from ever happening.
* The best thing about Queen Grimhilde is that since she was the very first Disney villain ever introduced to the world, we wouldn't have any others at all if she hadn't been such a memorable supervillain. It's not overstating things to say that every single villain in the pantheon owes their very existence to her.
* Although she is extremely egotistical, none of her crimes were extremely disgusting, preventing her from being a Hate Sink.

### What Makes Her Detestable?

* Ironically, she is loathsome for many of the same reasons why she's interesting. Her macabre decorations in her home highlight the fact that she is sadism personified, being an extremely arrogant tyrant who kills her own people and loves hurting them, including her teenage stepdaughter Snow White and many others.
* She doesn't care about how disturbed the Huntsman was at having to kill a little girl and even calls the Magic Mirror a "slave" proving she doesn't care about him either. She also makes Snow White a slave too, even before the mirror claimed she was literally being out-magnetized by a teenage girl.
* Despite usually being truthful and calling out other people for trying to play her, she uncharacteristically lies to Snow White that she has a magic wishing apple. Ironically, she wakes up to find her prince anyway.
* She has a horrific "Kick the Dog" moment when she places a jug just outside of an innocent victim's reach and infamously kicks it up against his or her corpse.
