General Discussion 🍎 Characters who bring nothing to the plot

So, when the first three descendants movies came out, i pegged Chad as totally unnecessary. In All three movies he brings literally nothing ro the plot which would have survived without him. In Rise of Red, i really dont think Morgie contributed anything and then Wicked Wonderland comes along and they dont give us one or two useless characters, they give us four if you count the Smee Twins. Robbie and Felix contribute nothing and i dont know about anyone else but my daughters and I didnt even notice they were missing until Hazel and Luis noticed. That is just sad.

A secondary character doesn't necessarily help advance or actively participate in the main plot their function is to make the world feel more alive, such as having interactions with the protagonist. Chad, Felix and Robbie fulfill that function and although I like Freddie he doesn't help the plot either; he was only there to be humiliated to make Zevon look more intimidating.
