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

[TheWatcher]

If she doesn’t resemble the Disney version somewhat (even in just a couple of minor ways, such as looks, and the fact that she’s a fairy) then A&E may as well create an original character, because all she would be is a character with the name Maleficent, instead of being Maleficent herself

But she did resemble the cartoon in a unique way. She still had the staff and horns (on her crown) and everything else was added creativity that made OUAT maleficent DISTINCT from the cartoon maleficent. Even Regina doesn’t completely resemble the Evil Queen from the cartoon in the beginning but her costumes (specifially her high collars) made the conection. All I’m saying is, Malefixent had a unique design, love it or hate it it was different from anything we had seen from the character. Now you can put OUAT Mal, Angelina Jolie Mal, Disney Cartoon Mal, and Kristin Chenoweth Mal all together and you got clones of one another. OUAT Mal doesn’t stand out anymore. Give her a costume change, but give it a spin. Ursula doesn’t look like a giant octo-lady. Cruella doesn’t look like a walking corpse (I’m sorry, Cruella looks like a zombie to me in the cartoon) so why does Mal have to be Jolie 2.0.
