So at the age of 29 I've only just watched sleeping beauty for the first time. And I gotta say, these 3 cunts instigated every conflict point in this movie.
>>insulted Maleficent, exacerbating the initial conflict.
>>stole the baby for 16 years under a half baked idea.
>>alerted maleficent to their presence on the eve of the 16th year via solid incompetence.
>>distressed Aurora on the last possible day, giving her no preparation for her position as royalty, and crushing her spirit.
>>let Aurora out of their sight, long enough for maleficent to enchant her.
>>rather then fess up to their incompetence, decided instead to put the entire kingdom to sleep.
>>sent a kid off to fight their battle for them, despite being able to conjure up magic shields and weapons at a whim apparently.
>> turned the raven to stone when it inconvenienced them. (so much for only being able to use their powers for good)
>>demanded that said kid murder their personal rival after being the ones to escalate the situation.
>>>stole the baby for 16 years under a half baked idea. They didn't stole her. The king entrusted the baby to them.

That's fucking fairies for you, user. Never trust a fey.
The three fairies just wanted an excuse to remove Maleficent from the political board. The whole plot of the movie is just a distraction to play on her own ego while they prepare everything for her eventual demise.
Ryder Fisher
The biggest plot hole is >She will prick her finger when the sun sets in her 16th birthday and die >Fairies did not need to hide her, she could have stayed in the castle and then disappeared on her 16th birthday to be safe
Luke Sanchez
Fairies aren't smart.

>tfw there is no game where you play a hero of a super science techno savy race, going on a holy war vs all fae, and magic folk where you can brutally kill in the name of human progress
>there will never be an FPS where you and your commando unit launch an assault on Hogwarts and you gun down witches and wizards as your brothers get dusted and avadakedavered around you
Technically it was "before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday," which doesn't have a starting time. Maleficent could have been lurking around any corner, ready to jab her with an entire spinning wheel, at any time.
Kayden Barnes
drawfags - I need a picture of Maleficent lurking around a corner struggling to hold an entire fucking spinning wheel as she stalks Aurora
Benjamin Fisher
>avadakedavered around you So what was the deal with that spell anyway? other spells can kill you, but what makes that one so special? Also Im pretty sure someone with a gun could kill wizards pretty easily.
Ryan Moore
I think it's like the difference between shooting someone with a 9mm Glock and shooting someone with a 30 mm GAU-8. The Glock *might* kill you, but the GAU-8 will abso-fucking-lutely kill you.
Other spells *can* kill you, but death is not so completely and utterly fucking guaranteed like it is with that one.
Bentley Lopez
>Avada Kedavra is the BRRRRRRTTT of the wizarding world I dig it.
Nicholas Mitchell
I guess it's like stabbing someone vs nuking them.
The purpose is that it has no counterspell. Someone throws a fireball at you, you put it out with water. Someone slashes you with an invisible sword, you block it with an invisible shield. Point, counterpoint.
Avada Kedavra is the Alexander the Great to the Gordian Knot of wizarding duels. Rather than being a spell that causes an effect which may result in the enemy's death, the spell's effect IS the enemy's death. It's literally just a "stop living" spell. Not a "lose blood until you die of shock" or "die from traumatic wounds" spell, just... "You get hit by this and you're no longer alive, that's all this spell does." And because there is no known spell to bring the dead back to life, there is no way to counter it. The only way to not be killed by this spell is to not be hit by it.
Joshua Turner
I'm surprised how progressive Disney was back then. Nowadays you would never have three elderly lesbians raising a child together
Christopher Jackson
the whole thing is just a typical fae feud
Hunter Powell
It was pretty stupid to insult her from the start. She hadn't even done anything yet.
And was it really a good idea not to extend an invite? She's a classy villainess. Maybe they could have done a peace summit.
Kevin Gonzalez
They should be destroyed. Any planet with the magic plagued should be glassed
Jackson Murphy
>Maleficent could have been lurking around any corner, ready to jab her with an entire spinning wheel, at any time
>picture Maleficent sneaking behind a corner, holding a huge fucking spinning wheel, waiting for Aurora
Watching it as an adult, the movie feels pulled in a couple different directions. It's like they wrote a draft where the fairies were totally the main characters (and maybe had more of a character arc), but then logically enough they decided to put more attention on Aurora and the Prince, so they started revising the script that way but couldn't finish by their deadline.
So the fairies drive most of the plot, but they also act like the stupid comic relief (making the cake and dress and all that crap) and the movie works the Prince in as a hero really hastily. It makes it hard to really invest in the characters.
Nathan Sanders
I really wish the film had committed to the fact the fairies ARE the main characters.
Philip is just their muscle (who they repeatedly aid).
