Re: What is the most disappointing movie you have ever watched?

[philstar22]

Eh, agree to disagree. I just feel like, if your movie is going to be about redemption, be consistent about it. It felt like they just wanted Maleficent to be the only one who loved Aurora. I think it would have been better for Stephan to realize that Maleficent had saved his daughter.

CW: sexual assault

I didn't take it as that, either, so I guess this is weird. It doesn't have to be consistent because redemption isn't a consistent thing. And I'm honestly not sure Stefan, in his state, would have cared if Maleficent saved her or not--she was still a "threat" if she got her wings back (nevermind that Stefan didn't even know his daughter to start with). I also didn't think she was the only one who loved her, so much as she was the only one with a sufficiently deep bond i.e. it can't be true love if you just met her that fucking week. It can be a love, but True Love is deep and takes time to grow, like carefully tending a flower.

And again, Stefan had doubled down so hard on justifying what was a gigantic betrayal of trust. He literally gained her trust, won her heart and cut her wings off. Because he wanted the power of the throne of a human kingdom much more than he cared for having the love of a fae, which isn't exactly given or earned easily. Like, shit, if you ask me, as someone who's had a stalker try to coerce her into a relationship and had her trust broken by a guy she thought was cool groping her randomly without permission because "of course guys and girls can't just be friends", him not being redeemed was the better choice.
