People are talking a lot about a critical scene in the newly released "Cruella" film (spoilers, of course)

Well, actually, that made now very curious about this movie and I now want to see it.
I don't really know why people would think it's stupid, maybe I'm missing context from the entire movie, but if that happens at the beginning of the movie, then I'd be very curious to see how the writers reflect on such a tragic event on such a young woman.

This just moved the movie from 'might be okay might be awful' to 'has a very strong chance of being a hilarious train wreck' so I guess I'll be watching it eventually.
I'm both dying to know and don't want to be spoiled about if a mirror of this scene happens later, with adult Cruella, at the climax of the action.

No, see she just wanted to kill dogs to avenge the tragic death of her mother.
Heading to the movies with my partner this weekend... Between Cruella and Spiral, this looks like a far more fun experience. Spiral doesn't look very good
Why can't they just simply retelling about her obsession with skinning dogs for her fashion??!
I mean, what?!??!

The stinger makes this scene even stupider
The dog that kills her mom is later owned by Cruella and has puppies in the final scene. In the stinger she gifts two of them to Roger and Anita which get named Pongo & Perdita, making this dog the future grandmother of the 101 dalmatians (who i guess are born out of dog incest?).
Ultimately, they try to make it so that she likes dogs.
The Dalmatians only rush Cruella's mom because Emma Thompson draws them in with a hidden dog whistle, and orders them to attack. Cruella kidnaps the dogs later in the film, and is implies to have skinned them to make a coat - before revealing that they are alive & well, and now following her command.
I saw this in a review and thought this is what a parody would do, but here we are.
The only thing more stupid is if the film used Sympathy for the Devil in the soundtrack.
...Oh guess what.

It's there alright.

Nope. Emma Thompson uses the dogs to kill her mom. Years later, Cruella takes revenge of the Baroness and retrains the dogs as part of the scheme.
Cruelly always felt like an odd villain to try and make sympathetic because, like… she wants to skin dogs. I think 102 Dalmatians actually had a plot about her getting 'cured' through therapy and being a better person, which at least acknowledged she was bad but now she can be better.
There are plenty of Disney villains that you could pull a Wicked on (Ursula, Scar, Facilier) but I don't really get why they chose Cruella.
