In the original Disney movie, Maleficent put a death curse on a baby because she was upset over not receiving an invitation to the celebration of its birth. Overreact much?
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Yeah, but the 'Good' fairies think it's a good idea to turn Aurora into a Flower to protect her from the curse, and only decide not to because Maleficent might send a frost. We're not really dealing with Human logic here.

I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Well, thankfully they're pretty much out of that phase.

Next season, we delve into Chrysalis's sad backstory as the queen of love.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectYeah, I don't really care one way or another, though I do think that casting Angelina Jolie in that role was a great casting choice; from the commercials it looks like she fits the role well. Maleficent isn't a character I'd have thought would've worked in live action.
Reaction Image RepositoryOh yeah, that is at least somewhat of a slam dunk.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectWell, that should be all kinds of terrible. Hopefully the fun kind.

Today, I learned a valuable lesson about friendship. Just because a celebrony is famous, doesn't make them perfect. In fact, they're just ponies, like Rainbow Dash and I, and some of them are even kind of mean. You should look for inspiration from your friends, not some pony you've never met.

Oh, I remember that. The megazord in that one was embarrassing in CGI.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau Projectindeed. but i've always enjoyed the Power Rangers, in a "so corny it's entertaining" kinda way.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

I kind of got the impression that she was still definitely doing bad things, but more out of retribution that like, For the Evulz.
Which is kiiiind of her motivation in the original animated movie, albeit for a very Fae definition of retribution, considering the crime against her was not inviting her to a party.
