Re: SPOILERS REALLY

[(Anonymous)]

I have to say, as a disabled person, I'm getting so sick of everyone saying she became evil because 'her heart got broken' She becomes evil because he FUCKING CRIPPLED HER. How can so many people have gone to the bathroom at the same crucial time? It's the only explanation for it I can come up with - no one could have seen him drug her and rip her wings off with burning iron and think she should have been and was fine with it.

They're not mutually exclusive events though. She turned down a dark path because her lover maimed her and broke her heart and trust with this act of betrayal. I neither think anyone believes she should've been fine with it or the fact of your disability has any bearing here.

My point is if that I had magic and could lash out at a physical manifestation of my disability, I probably would. He didn't just break her heart. He completely disabled her, removing a way she functions. I just feel like people are trying to discredit the film going 'oh meh she just had her pwecious heart broke what a stupid ass reason~' while ignoring the much more prominent and salient reason they offer for her behavior - the taking of her wings. The adding of the True Love caveat to the curse is meant to be petty and spiteful and hurt him, but the fact that she's doing the cursing at all has less to do with that and everything to do with her wings and THAT betrayal.

It's because they made a point about 'true love', Maleficent adding that aspect of 'true love' to the curse, talking about how Maleficent loved him right before he crippled her, etc. They could have just been friends, but it was the obvious decision to make it about love and betrayal.

I think I accidentally added my response to this comment to the one above it, oops. My point is I think that boiling it down to love and betrayal completely ignores the actual reason, in my eyes, that she goes evil. Yes, he broke her heart, but she doesn't erupt into dark magic over that - it's the fact that someone she loved and trusted has physically disabled her that makes her go over the edge. Yes, later, she uses the love aspect as a call back to his betrayal during the curse, but that doesn't mean it's the reason she turned evil. It was a cheap, petty shot at him that she knew he'd understand, but no one else does. She doesn't want to publicly blast the real reason - the wings (she never mentions her wings to anyone again until Aurora asks and she says she doesn't want to talk about it).
