I like Wicked and villainous backstories, but...not all the time? Like, for WWW, I could get behind her as a sympathetic character because in the books she's just straight up killed on the Wizard's say so, with not a lot of evil done to Dorothy before her quest to kill the witch, and in the movie it doesn't take a lot of overthinking to go, "Hey, wait. They're having a parade for this girl who killed her sister and took her shoes. I'd be kinda pissed too."

In terms of Sleeping Beauty, villains need motivation, but that motivation doesn't always need to translate to them actually being the good people. The movie looks like they're making her the underdog and so terribly misunderstood and...there isn't much in the original story that stands out as a reason she might actually be the "good" one--she cursed a baby because fairies are predictable and chaotic and easily insulted. I don't mind villainous backstories. It's turning the villain into a woobie--every single time--that's getting my goat.
