User blog comment:TylerSurvivorFan/What If Ella Received All the Hate?/@comment-35894040-20180622192200

I don’t dislike Ella, but I never liked her a lot either. The Disney princess stereotype she’s given was something I wasn’t fond of. I would’ve preferred if she was someone that was a fan of theater and drama, and her singing quirck can go along with that. I never had a problem with Sugar. People hate her because they think she’s an Owen clone, and because of her conflict with Ella. I do agree that they could’ve handled the conflict better by not having Ella trying to be nice to Sugar. Sure it could’ve started that way, but she needed to take a hint that Sugar was not interested in being friends with her. I think the reason why Sugar hates Ella is because she is prettier and more talented than her, and Sugar grew up with this mentality of the competitive pageant world. Do Ella and Sugar both deserve hate? Not really, but they’re both not bad characters in my opinion.
