History Film / MaleficentMistressOfEvil

! Due to its nature as a sequel, all spoilers for ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'' will be left unmarked. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned!

* CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler:Ingrid does not know about the existence of an entire Dark Fey society, let alone their intent to attack the wedding which has little to do with Maleficent. This implies the ''huge'' arsenal of anti-fairy weapons on the ramparts was intended solely for Maleficent, if she survived the earlier assassination plan.]]

** Subverted with [[spoiler:Ingrith; the fey do have her hauled out a window, but rather than letting her fall to her death, they lower her on their vines until the fall is survivable. Then [[BalefulPolymorph Maleficent transforms her into a goat]] (with her own husband indicating he's perfectly okay if she's never changed back).]]

** Goes UpToEleven in the chapel scene where [[spoiler: cute little fairies are killed en masse.]]

* ShipperOnDeck: [[UpToEleven All hands on deck are shippers]]. Most everyone in the Moors approves of Aurora and Phillip's relationship. [[spoiler:This sadly gets used against them when they're all [[NastyParty "invited" to Aurora's wedding]].]] On the Ulstead side, the main conflict seems to be the Moorfolk themselves; when Phillip interprets a soldier's inquiry about his best man as asking whether Aurora said yes, the soldier insists that Aurora saying yes wasn't in question.

* SettingUpdate: The original animated version was from Medieval UsefulNotes/{{France}} because of many evidence such as the style of the arts, designs, and architecture that are based off of a French Gothic manuscript and other French tapestries, but in the first movie, it is Scotland. But in the second movie, it is both England and Scotland because of Ulstead, in which the Castle and town has an English design and the village is both Scottish and Celtic, but mostly the Peasant's Costumes are Celtic. This implies that it was set in The Late Middle Ages of England. Though the kingdom and queen's names are Swedish.

* OvertookTheSeries: ''Maleficent'' was a PerspectiveFlip of the Disney's ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', but mostly stuck to the same overall plot, while this sequel is an original storyline.

* BloodlessCarnage: The human deaths usually happen [[GoryDiscretionShot off-screen]], and the deaths of many, many fairies are softened by the fact that the iron powder causes them to turn into the plant they resemble (for example, a dandelion fairy merely becomes a dandelion) or dissolve in a puff of ashes. [[SymbolicBlood Big red puff of ashes]].

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: The ongoing argument between Conall and Borra over what actions the Dark Fae should take to preserve their people against the encroachment of humans.

* FantasticRacism: Carried over from the first film, as most humans and fairies have disdain for each other's respective race for their own reason.

* IHaveNoDaughter: Used word-for-word by Maleficent, who in the moment is convinced that Aurora has betrayed her and chosen the side of the humans who attacked her and the Moors.
* InterspeciesAdoption: Aurora convices Maleficent to come to the dinner party by saying that "[Phillip's] mother wants to meet mine." [[spoiler:Despite the division caused by Ingrith, Aurora makes it clear in the final confrontation that she sees Maleficent as her mother, with even other Dark Fae referring to Aurora as Maleficent's daughter, culminating in Maleficent walking Aurora down the aisle]].

* LetHerGrowUpDear: Genderflipped. Maleficent is extremely against Aurora marrying anyone (despite having known Phillip for five years); Diaval is the one who encourages the relationship and, at the end, [[spoiler:tells Maleficent she needs to "let her go."]]

* UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}}: The First Movie was Set in The Scottish Highlands, but in this movie, it is clearly between England and Scotland or the borders.

This implies that it was set in The Late Middle Ages of England.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Queen Ingrith's speciality. She uses a personal version during the dinner with Maleficent and Diaval, cowering behind King John and saying that she's frightened, and again on a grander scale by casting Maleficent and the fairies in general as the first aggressors in a war.

* AcheyScars: Aurora's pricked finger swells and itches when near the cursed spindle, [[spoiler:which helps her to find it. A similar mark on King John proves they were wounded by the same weapon.]]

* UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}}: The First Movie was Set in The Scottish Highlands but in this movie, it is Clearly Between Both United Kingdom and Scotland Or The Borders.
* SettingUpdate: The Animated Version was from UsefulNotes/{{France}}, but in the first movie it Is Scotland, But in the Second it is Both Britain and Scottish because of Ulstead, Ulstead`s Castle has A British Design and the Village is Both Scottish and Celtic but mostly the Peasant's Costumes are Celtic, Which the Movie Is Surely in The Late Middle Ages of England.

* AmbiguousSituation: Queen Ingrith claims that her motivation for hating magical creatures is that [[spoiler:her brother, who was sent as an emissary to establish a peace offering with the Moorfolk during a harsh winter, was killed by such creatures]]. However, the first movie shows that, even before the Moors were covered by a thorn wall, Stefan ''stealing a valuable object'' from the Moors merely garnered him an interrogation and a demand to return the object, much less death, which makes it sound unlikely that [[spoiler:the Moorfolk would kill Ingrith's brother over something more minor, especially since they were shown to be peaceful]]. The true circumstances of his death are therefore unknown, and Ingrith assuming such a thing implies she ''[[UnreliableExpositor already]]'' distrusted magical creatures before this.

** She talks as though fairies are incapable of affection or concern for others, and yet [[spoiler:she throws Aurora off a tower to distract Maleficent to exploit her 'rival's' human affection for the girl]].
