In fact, since Maleficent has seemed semi-redeemed and she is Regina's only friend from the EF, I could see her be the only QoD that survives. Of the three Queens of Darkness, Maleficent is the most likely to be truly redeemed. Disney even redeemed her, and would probably prefer if OUaT dos the same. While she does practice the Dark Arts, I doubt Maleficent will even be viewed as a villain is the flashbacks.... the villain title will be given to King Stefan. oh god i hope they don't do the plot of Maleficent. They shouldn't do the plot of Maleficent, and if they do do anything related to it, it is because they had it planned that way before the movie came out. Remember Once had mythology for Maleficent since episode 2 of the first season, they just haven't been able to show it yet due to Kristen's commitments to other shows like True Blood. Now that she is free we are getting the backstory they have had in their heads for several years.
