I feel like some people expexcted her to be completely evil, and the worst QOD because her Disney countpart is one of the most iconic villains, but people forget that she's a Once character with Disney roots, rather than a direct adaptation (still waiting for that backstory).

Pan and Cora. I love tragic backstories, but sometimes they get repetitive. These characters had stories which showed them as people who chose to willingly be bad, but made it realistic. I liked Maleficent but not because of how she was as a villain. They did a good job making her vulnerable and deserving of the audience's sympathy, and I think it made for a decent take on such an iconic character. I just wish they devoted more time to her story.
