"How can he do this to me?! When i practically RAISED him!!" That hits different now.

Basically. She practically is his mother.

​@mellemadswoestenburg1296 then again, you have to wonder if she was raising him to be an unlikable emperor so she can take his throne more easily. Because after his supposed death in the first movie, no one really care that he died

@@ChannelChingCong oh definitely. I feel like that's kind of the point. After she says that Kronk remarks "yeah you would think he would have turned out better."

@@ChannelChingCong good point. But if you rewatch the movie and show you notice that Yzma is also very self absorbed and selfish. So kuzco really was like her till he met Pacha

Yep lovable villan through and through

I never really realized that 😂

Imo they all have character changes. TV show Kuzco us way more laid back than movie Kuzco

would you call that character growth?

I noticed that too Yzma from both movies (Emperor's new groove and Kronk's new groove) feels like a heartless character Yzma from this series feels more hearted, with more feelings and yeah, like you said before, basically Heinz Doofenshmirtz

If we go by some of the stuff dropped from Kingdom of the Sun, it's highly implied what really made her bitter was raising Cuzco which, considering how he was before getting llama'd, makes sense.

Kingdom of the sun?​@@angelangelis8362

@@angelangelis8362why couldn’t she do something else other then raise him since she was becoming bitter? Kinda feels messed up since he didn’t ask her to raise him and from the movie she was trying to do his job and he told her that. I wonder how she raised him though.

His parents were gone I'm guessing at a young age. Since she served the royals as a high rank advisor she was the only one who could teach him to be emperor. We don't know how she raised him. Even if she was strict all the other attendants spoiled him. I think she raised him as an emperor not a son it shows how nervously professional she talks to him at the start of the movie.

If you watch carefully Yzma was the one who raised Kuzco so all his negative attributes can be assumed were her doing because Yzma really is a bad person no matter how fun she is to watch. That and her original goal was probably power behind the power like what Long Fei did to the King of Ba Sing Se. But when that stopped being an option she went straight to plan B murder.

I used to think she was really funny as a kid.

That's the case with most villains these days.

She's like Squidward then

I never hated her lol She has always been my favorite character in the series/movie, she's super funny

Shit, I liked her as a kid!🤣 She & Hades are the funniest & most relatable Disney villains to date.

Uhh?

@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 For clarification a running gag in the show is that kronk always gets to pull the lever to open the secret lab entrance, but he always pulls the wrong one which usually is trapped and harms Yzma with slapstick comedy in some way, yet regardless of this fact she continues to let him pull the levers every time

@@pandemonium2536 oh well that but I knew :)

@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 Oh my bad, the Uhh seemed confused.

@@pandemonium2536 yeah I was. About the emotionality of what you said

Yes r.i.p

An absolute legend

She passed away in december 25 Truly a pity not to have her around anymore, she's at least in heaven now She's with God now

She passed away from a Colon Cancer ♋️ 😢🌹 . I’m so sorry 😞 rest in peace.

@@josuesolar1771 yes👼🏾

She worked at the palace. Though, I find it hard that they were friends 😅

Well she was in a high place of power, he probably saw potential in Yzma and two became close

I mean Kuzco's dad seemed to have entrusted his son to her so I think she was alike his advisor

I imagine she was also his royal advisor. It isn't hard to imagine that if he was a wiser, less petulant rular than his son that she may have actually liked him. Her bids for power may have only escalated when a self absorbed manchild took the throne and made a mockery of the seat of office. Between her megalomania, scheming nature, and having an idiot on the throne (easy prey), she may have been inspired towards her treasonous ambitions.

Originally she was the Royal mortician's daughter, she learned magic from him and basically grew in the castle along Kuzko's Dad

She must be extremely durable because any regular old individual would break several bones.

The girl knows how to keep fit even in her advanced age. Mad props.

@@DarkArtistKaiser We must all aspire to be like Yzma as we grow older

Oh, I'm not fully sure she's entirely human. Woman has all the muscle definition of a dehydrated green bean and yet she's constantly cartwheeling/flipping all over the place and, in the movie, she bent a fork in half with her thumb and full-on split kick Kuzco and Pacha.

@@digifreak90 My head canon is that a lifetime of mad science has done some weird things to Yzma's physiology

That's cuz she has standards, she is a professional villain after all 😂

@@JamesZ32100 exactly

​@@JamesZ32100​ Yeah. Anyway, could I please for instruction for making an awesome antagonist for Animated feature movie (rated PG) or Animated tv Series (also rated PG)?

Yeah, she's not Jack Hornner.

Until the very last episode when she fires Kronk full on so she can become empress after Kuzco turned himself willingly into a chicken.

SHE DIED?????

@@rainbowelbow7444uhhhh yeah man

@@rainbowelbow7444she died on Christmas in 2008 :/

May she rest in peace. She truly was empress.

@@videogamefan101 She really wasn’t. But she got so close.

That's Kuzco for you, he's cool with any company as long as he's in the center

Plus, it makes sense for the mother of a beautiful girl in court to pester her daughter about using her looks/friendship with the emperor to gain power.

yup

​@@jonquilgemstone wasn't Yzma actually not the most attractive by beauty standards? at least as a teenager? I remember that in one episode she mentioned that back in her schooldays she was super thin, used to wear a brace and classmates would call her names. Unless, she had a glow up once she became an adult.

​@@Lee-cr6xb Actually, it's the opposite. She was very attractive as a teenage girl ( as you can see in the episode "Cool summer" and then in the academy (which means she was older) she was this super extra thin thing with braces and ponytails. However, I think she's stunning at her older ages too. No one can beat her clothing style. 😅

Large quantities of potions

Yoga does wonders apparently

@@Iloverimjobs only if you're consistent, it's the same idea with leg day

Me too. Although, this is probably back centuries ago, when humans used to live over 500 years old. I don't know what happened to make us die earlier in today's era. Probably all the murders, unhealthy lifestyles and accidents from recent technology.

@@alicornianqueen8219 Uh-huh, so there was no murders and accidents in every year prior to 1860-s (somewhat start of modernity)? *historical chuckle*

@@admiraladriel8781 There were, don't get me wrong, but there were less people on the planet back then. Probably about an entire country worth of people if not less. And that also meant less people who wanted to kill others for selfish reasons. Although that's a very good question. I'm glad you asked that and brought your information to the table.

@@alicornianqueen8219 she’s not actually that old she just aged badly Yzma is supposedly 48 so clearly it runs in the family

We can both agree that Sonic boom is better than teen titans go

​@supertails8881 we can ALL agree sonic boom (the show) is better then TTGO, it's not even a competition.

Sonic boom ruined characters

@@dull_demon4717 Whatever

@@malachiallen1517 watch or read any other sonic show / comic. They quite literally ruined nearly every character's characterization in that show, but they did that in TTGO and that new Ben 10 series- so i guess its normal to ruin characterization nowadays.

The fact she never had one is a small miracle

@@mrcritical6751 true 😅

Lmao

same

Oh good it wasn't just me

And possibly out of respect for Kuzcos father. She said she was friends with him and some little crap pretending to be him was probably insulting to her.

@@MillieBlackRose Also true I mean she did try killing Kuzco....several times....but again its likely outta respect for his dad and his memory. And a "no one is killing that bitch but me' situation

@@thedarknight307 During the movie she may have tried to kill him because she saw him as a shame to his own father cause of how crappy he was.

@@MillieBlackRose Likely that too. It almost makes me wanna see a miniseries or a book about Yzma and her relationship with Kuzco's dad.

@@thedarknight307 that would be cool. It ever say anything about Kuzcos mother?

Wow .. that in fact a not fun fact.😭 but interesting

Her mum probably signed her up for that as a kid, you know being those mums who live their life through their child

​@The-Busy-Beeeee plus also being at least partial cat probably helps a lot with keeping her spry.

@@SioxGreyWolf heheheheh true dat

She was part of the palace she had to have known him, i think its canon that she looks so worn because she helped to raise kusco 😅 it is interesting though

@@L0rdOfThePies​​⁠makes sense since she only really moved to have him killed when he fired her as his advisor. She probably was a cynical advisor to his father and became more worn down and evil during kuzco’s rule because of his arrogance.

I mean she did try to kill him and Kuzco back at the palace and she successfully infiltrated his own home and is literally feet away from his children.

@@starkiller1289 true

@@starkiller1289 ...with a tendency to poison and the dinner in hand.

If her dad's side of the backstory is still like the one in Kingdom of the Sun, her only fond memories around a table were probably at her dad's embalming table, learning how to shrive dead bodies 😭

since probably he has never been mentioned in the series, which I don't really remember, then it is reasonable to pressume so.

Both voiced by Wendie Malick.

Hate can sustain us for a long time. If Yzma has an overbearing mother, I'm not surprised.

There's a line in the show where Yzma says she's 48 and Kronk doesn't believe this. But its kinda funny to think she rlly is 48 and just aged terribly xD

Her mother does appear in the show for one scene, her name is Azma and boy does she live up to that name lol

@@Pixiestickz123 yes, stress will do that to you

Maybe getting humbled in the movie gave her time to cool down about getting fired, and now she's lost the will she needed in order to kill him for the throne? Or maybe she simply found a weird sense of enjoyment coming up with wacky schemes every week, just to see how far she can go, and now she's started growing fond of Kuzco now that she doesn't have to serve/raise him anymore. I mean, imagine suddenly having an excuse (and the time) to stretch your sorcery/alchemy skills all you want, against someone who ultimately wouldn't have the heart to kill you for it (since Kuzco never really wanted Yzma to die, despite everything). She gets to pursue her real passion (sorcery) and is probably in a better place mentally. Oh, that and Kronk's good vibes are probably rubbing off on her. There's no immunity to prolonged exposure to golden retriever energy.

Well i mean he kinda fired her after she raised him. I am not saying this is a full excuse but being fired by an ungrateful brat DOES suck

Kuzco being super chill with her kinda implies he got over it and she is probably just rolling with it. Plus if he fails to graduate she becomes Empress by default so his death isn't required this time.

True, and then many times in the TV series. It’s sad that she went from friends with Kuzco’s dad and Kuzco’s sort-of-adoptive-mom (by default) to wanting to overthrow him. While it was normal for a close relative to rule in a young king’s stead until they’re ready, she got too power hungry and then vengeful when Kuzco stood up for himself and fired her for undermining his position.

@initialsleo2832 which, at the time really was just a toss up between two narcissists. Granted, Kuzco still absolutely is one, but he's grown way more of a conscious if the show is anything to go by. He has his moments, but if he didn't we'd have no show.

An active body body is a healthy body - Yzma, probably.

Yes! It was a great entrance!
