I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

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.

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?

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.

Well, if you visit the Maleficent thread over in the Film forum, you'll find plenty of folks who aren't too keen on Disney turning an indisputable villain into a misunderstood heroine and then claiming that's what REALLY happened.

Also, "Sleeping Beauty" and "The Little Mermaid" are two Disney movies where sweet sixteen is plenty old enough to get married and live happ...well, you know.

I'm rather tired of those, seem to be copying from the trend of Wicked, which imho wasn't very good to begin with, musical aside.

Think back since 2002, and realize that anti-heroes and semi-villains have starred in many many family films for some time now.

Yeah, they took one of their most badass, threatening, and just plain out freaking terrifyingly awesome villains.

And turned her into something completely different. Why can't a villain just be evil for the joy of being evil?

Then again the only thing that movie will be aiming is money as far as I'm concerned. She's still awesome though.

Yeah, 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.

Agreed the castin was the one part that was spot on perfect.

And, I actaully like the fanon that Chrysi is the Princess from H&H Day. And her becoming what she was was the effect of the Love poison.

As far as I'm concerned, Chrisi's just a predator that can speak and somewhat mimic the races she preys upon; a queen lusting for food for her and the swarm.

Hey doods.

Just discovered that the Power Rangers are getting a new movie. Totally MUST watch that.

Post of the Day #748

Dear Princess Celestia,

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.

Your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle

@Ed: Terrible? You mean terribly amusing. I still remember the other one with Ivan Ooze.
