Phil, I don’t have an issue with overall. It’s Aurora. She says in S2 about how taking the Curse was her sacrifice but…that…isn’t what we saw on screen. And I’ll even fanwank away the dress issue since Snow was in bandit clothing when she ate the apple but in her white outfit when Charming woke her (cause apparently the dwarves dressed her…??) But it goes back to what I said above. If we have to start blatantly ignoring past facts in order for the new arc to make sense, this is going to get old right quick.
Not even just that, but the sleeping curse had to be taken willingly. That was probably why they had Aurora say she fell under it as a sort of sacrifice in the first place. We didn’t see Aurora take the curse willingly, as Maleficent simply used brute force to prick her. It was clearly against Aurora’s will, too.
Yes exactly. They made Aurora call it a sacrifice because in S1 Snow took it willingly and then in S2 (around the same time Aurora was telling us about her sacrifice) DAVID was taking the curse willingly. And of course Henry had done the same thing in 121.
There are far more instances of the sleeping curse being taken willingly than there are instances of it being forced. Aurora is now the outlier that makes no sense . Even if she was cursed a second time (which would be…weird) the first shouldn’t have worked at all since it’s been established in every other case that it has to be taken willingly.
