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

Yeah, I don’t necessarily think that Stephen convinced himself he’d done a good thing, so much as a necessary one to get what he wanted. It almost felt like he’d convinced himself that guilt was some kind of evil spell in and of itself. And Stephen betrayed perhaps the only person who ever loved him in a viscerally cruel way, not out of fear or cowardice or to save his life, but for a crown. I don’t think he really cared about Aurora or anyone else by the time she was born, just his crown and his paranoid fear.

Yeah, pretty much. It's why I'm glad he didn't get redeemed. He did what he did for a crown, for power, for ambition. Not because he was scared or he thought he'd die. He took poison and used it to cut off part of her--while using the love he'd developed between them. He used her for his own ambition and then tossed her aside. That's not something I'm comfortable with redeeming unless there's significant on-screen development.

AYRT—yeah, if he’d been redeemed after all that, even by dying, I would’ve been super creeped out unless his redemption arc started basically as soon as he was crowned, which would make him a completely different character, and even then I wouldn’t have been overjoyed.

Yeah. And it does bother me that people say he should have been redeemed. Like, is it wrong I kind of think they're a bit privileged to have never gone through something like that?
