Merida in Once to me is heinous, so I'm not surprised, lol. They look sort of older, but then again, I don't know how old Merida is in Once. Actually, with Brave they can't be unfaithful to the movie because they've already confirmed that the events of the movie happened the exact same way in the show's universe.

They can change what happens to the characters (Fergus dying) and give character development, but they can't change the core root of these characters.

But in the movie, Macintosh did have a temper. And an ego. I wouldn't be surprised if he bullied and intimidated MacGuffin and Dingwall into helping him attack Merida's kingdom. In the few promo pics we've seen of them holding the Triplets hostage, he's the only one actually about to shoot them, the other two are behind him, and MacGuffin, the gentle giant that he is, looks noticeably worried.
