Reply To: EW Scan – First Look At The Queens of Darkness

To me it just always looked silly and didn’t make the character seem all that threatening.

Which, to me, worked because Mal on OUAT wasn’t threatening at all. Her personality was different than that of the cartoon and she actually seemed like a good person or a person who was trying to be good. She even encouraged Regina to move on with her life. Idk. Like I said in another thread too, I’m fine with them givng her a costume change, my issue is that her new costume seems to be a copy of the film version of Maleficent and I am not okay with that. Its a nice costume, sure, but I would rather they had been creative and came up with another original design that would fit the character and the purpose she has (if she is supposed to be evil now it would dark and black as opposed to pink and purple) that didn’t look like something we’d already seen a few months ago. Looking online, there are tons of variations of cartoon maleficents costume design that look NOTHING like either the cartoon version or the film version and they all work. But hey *shrug*
