Or, what happens when people complain about safe scene-by-scene live action remakes. We get more piss-poor attempts at shades of grey and reimagining.
On the bright side, I can resume my "Maleficent invented..." meme!

so after doing a mediocre "True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" with Sleeping Beauty where Maleficent was actually the good one and King Stefan was evil, they're turning her back into the villain?

Which would have redeemed the original movie a LITTLE if they did it then. Oh it would still suck, but I'd appreciate the effort if they, say, revealed that what we just saw was propaganda by Maleficent. Cue a kingdom in ruins, next scene the real heroes plan their comeback. Might be a bit too Vince Russo "you just watched a movie, except now is real" though. But it would explain the paper thin attempts at shades of grey and why everyone but Maleficent is presented as a jerk or an idiot, or both. /Maleficent invented paper.

Did they seriously learn nothing at all from the abortion that was the first movie?

Did they seriously learn nothing at all from the abortion that was the first movie? It made money. It was getting a sequel. The king and queen are clearly the prince's parents. And it looks like Auntie Mal isn't getting along with the new in-laws. Maleficent's forest will likely be harmed by the prince's parents, causing her to fight back. And the trailer is cut in a way to make you think she's evil.

So, which classically good character is Michelle Pfeiffer playing, and how quickly will she turn out to be the Mistress of Evil?
I'm guessing the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella.
