Like the horned king i want to go into more detail about this villain as she has had to versions of herself created.The first is the villainous and terrifying Maleficent from the animated movie, where she cursed the child, mostly because of an evil temperament and the fact she wasn't invited to the ceremony. She's calm collected and evil down to her core as a character who is out for her self. Twisting horns wrapped around a full body cloak with green skin and yellow eyes with a crow perched on her magical staff. Her sharp features reflect her cold and sharp personality as an uncompassionate creature becoming a quite literal cold blooded creature when she becomes a dragon.
In comparison Angelina Jolies Maleficent is driven by heart break and sorrow caused by King Stefan with whom she was in love with in their youth, which led to her cursing the princess. However she then feels guilt and love for the young girl and as she grows protects her from harm, even eventually freeing her from the curse. This to me was unneeded, Maleficent was already a well established and hateful villain, but doing this caused her to come across more weak and almost pathetic than her original representation, to make her the hero who saves the land leaves a very different story with no actual correlation to the original as it destroys the original view of this character.
