Same here, OP! Actually, I hate this trend of turning old tales into something dark and edgy. I even hate Inception-like trailers lol those alone are a turn off for me.

But Angelina is an amazing, lovely queen and I will see this for her and her portrayal of an incredible character!

....Also, OT, but I can't believe I don't have an Angie icon already

It's more like turning them back though. If you look up the pre-Disney and even the pre-Grimm versions, shit was dark, yo.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah but they don't turn them dark in the same way, they turn them "dark and edgy" hollywood style.

[(Anonymous)]

In its own way, still part of the old fairy tale tradition; the tales get adapted to the tastes and mores of the time.

Besides, ain't nobody yet really gone back to the version of Little Red Riding Hood where the wolf tricks her into eating chunks of grandma. Hollywood got nothing on that.

Thing is, this new movie supposedly tames her story quite a bit as to make it not so dark in edgy. That the cartoon is way more dark. In the cartoon, Maleficent is just evil, condemning Aurora to death on her sixteenth birthday. In the live action movie, she condemns the child not to death but to a coma. Because for some reason, you can't kill kids anymore.

Yeah, Sleeping Beauty is probably the one least bowdlerized Disney adaptations.

[(Anonymous)]

In one older version of Sleeping Beauty the prince/king rapes her and she only wakes up when the resulting twins crawl up to suckle. Hollywood's edgy, my ass.

[(Anonymous)]

And in one of the even further back versions of that, she's so angry to realize she was raped in her sleep that she strangles the kids.

[iggy]

That's not what the movie does though. It's more of a Wicked style take on the original tale.
