Just what the world needed, a "101 Dalmatians" Multiverse. F*cking Disney, man.

Oh, she was plenty murderous, alright. Almost committed murder herself here. Had her first taste of dog-napping, too. The fact she didn't actually go through with killing them (which it was even implied she had for a bit) is just more a matter of how far she was willing to go. Like she hadn't quite crossed that line YET. But was thoroughly on her way to embracing that sadistic side. Anti-hero? Hardly. She fully admits to being bad, and makes no excuses or apologies. She even revels in it. She just hadn't quite gone THAT far. (Again, she HAD a dog, and even ended up with the ones she stole!)
