So in saving the miracle, Abuela Alma Madrigal might appear to want to keep the magic going for personal reasons instead of the good of others. Alma isn't a villain in Encanto at the end of the day. Though Alma opposes Mirabel at points in the film, she's always thinking of others above herself.
Disney's Encanto, which tells the story of the magical Madrigals, doesn't have a bad guy, but one theory speculates that Dolores was the secret villain all along.
Besides, it's not like Abuela Alma was ever really a Disney villain. She always had pure intentions. If anything, she was merely an antagonist in Mirabel's life, which is not the same as a villain.
She puts an undue amount of pressure on herself to keep the family going in times of crisis by performing the role of a strong figurehead, trying to overcompensate with a sense of power and control because she had none over her husband's death.
Unintentionally, Alma is quite neglectful with Pepa due to the problems of her gift. Alma not only ignores her when she needs help, she also often negatively criticizes her daughter for her emotional tirades and often pesters Pepa to keep her emotions under control instead of supporting her properly.

Why did Abuela hate Mirabel?
Mistakes or inadequacies are always frowned upon. Mirabel is, of course, the perfect example. She fails to manifest a gift, and as a result, she's a constant target of Alma's disapproval, never good enough despite her best efforts.
Isabela especially does not get along with Mirabel. Both sisters are mutually jealous of each other's lives; Isabela envying Mirabel being unburdened by expectations whilst she bears the brunt of Alma's expectations. Unaware of how unhappy the other was than they let on, Isabela had a strained relationship with her.
What is the real reason Mirabel didn't get a gift?
As the theory explained, "Because Mirabel already had the brains to take over as matriarch, she didn't need a gift bestowed by the house, so it gifted the brawn and the beauty to her sisters so that the three of them make the perfect group to lead the family into the future." According to the theory, the reason why ...
When the young family and other runaway villagers arrive at a river, Pedro sacrificed himself to the Soldiers who were chasing after the escaping villagers, allowing Alma and their children to escape but at the cost of his life.
As for Mirabel not getting a door during her ceremony, it;s widely acknowledged that Mirabel's “power” is as the guardian of the family's magic itself and Mirabel being Abuela's successor, so instead of getting her own room and door, Casita's front door became Mirabel's.
Encanto shows some use of substances. For example, Abuela Alba insinuates that Mirabel might have had too much to drink when Mirabel claims that the house is in trouble even though they can't find any cracks.
So in saving the miracle, Abuela Alma Madrigal might appear to want to keep the magic going for personal reasons instead of the good of others. Alma isn't a villain in Encanto at the end of the day. Though Alma opposes Mirabel at points in the film, she's always thinking of others above herself.
After predicting too many negative events that did turn out to come true, like a tornado at Pepa's wedding, Bruno was blamed for every single horrible thing that happened to the Madrigals and their village. For them, it was as if Bruno was creating those tragedies instead of simply warning everyone about them.
One fan proposed that the etching of her looks sad, and that it might be because she doesn't like her gift. However, during a Q&A, Bush states it was intended as a look of contentment and peace, the result of no longer having to be on high-alert in the new, Maribel-led household.
However, it's not just the lie that makes Dolores a villain; it's the fact that she uses her gift to steer situations in the direction she wants them to go that likens her to one.
Within Encanto then, Dolores' “squeak” means that she is talking about something potentially upsetting or heard information she was not supposed to know. However, Dolores' squeak also has a deeper historical meaning. According to one explanation (via Twitter), gestures have great historical significance in Colombia.
The Soldiers are the overarching antagonists of Disney's 60th full-length animated feature film Encanto. They were a group of corrupt Colombian soldiers responsible for the death of Pedro Madrigal, the husband of Alma Madrigal and patriarch of the Madrigal family.
Encanto has a wealth of evidence that Casita is truly Abuelo Pedro. In addition to the house mirroring Abuel Pedro's sacrifice, the film lingers on Abuelo Pedro's portrait during the collapse, perhaps hinting that he's the person behind the magic.
The Encanto theory about Mirabel also recalls how the pair have similar looks, which is evident when the film focuses on Pedro's portrait when the Casita cracks. There's enough evidence to make a case for Mirabel being the reincarnation of Pedro.
Though Bush seemed to put the theory that Mirabel sabotaged her gift to rest, the movie may have also debunked it long ago. According to Bush, Mirabel's hand-wiping scene was just a "character specific mannerism." And the movie apparently supports that.
Isabela is introduced in Encanto as an effortlessly perfect character. In Mirabel's words, she's never even had a bad hair day before. It's not until the two sisters finally have a heart-to-heart talk that Isabela finally reveals her big secret: that her perfection is painstakingly practiced.
Turns out, Isabela didn't even want to marry Mariano; she was only doing it to make Abuela happy (foreshadowed during her engagement dinner when her powers start going haywire and one of her plants springs up and punches Mariano in the nose).
Among them is the exact reason why the miraculous candle regained its power following Mirabel and Isabela's embrace. The moment happens not long after Mirabel consults Bruno, who reveals a vision of her hugging Isabela in order to strengthen the candle's dying flame.
the internet thought, maybe that she wiped, she touched the candle and wiped the magic off. It's not what happens. It's really just sort of like a little character moment.
