But I doubt Maleficent will even be partially adapted, since A&E were asked about it some months ago after Kristin's return was announced and they said they were doing something different. That is right.... Sebastian Roche is known for playing shady, and villainous characters. There is no way OUaT's King Stefan, is going to be that respectable man from the animated film. He does not have to cut off Maleficent's wings on the show.... heck, was it ever confirmed if she was a fairy? Having Maleficent and King Stefan as ex-lovers, would not be ripping off the Angelina Jolie film. As Regina's line in 1.02 implied, that Maleficent's heart was broken by someone.

Aurora had to learn how to be shady, from someone.... who better than her daddy dearest? I think it was confirmed by someone from the movie's crew that Angelina's Maleficent was the child of a fairy and a human, which is why she looked different from the (renamed) Flora, Fauna and Merryweather. And I wouldn't mind if they did they "Stefan broke Maleficent's heart" storyline, as long as it's different from the Angelina movie.

And @Eskaver I was fully expecting Walsh to show up in Storybrooke at some point since he seemed to be the head monkey in Zelena's army (not to mention, he's also the one that Zelena sent after Regina and Snow. He has a scar in the same place Robin shot the first monkey. He might even be the monkey Regina gave to Roland.) and there's no evidence that points towards any flying monkey dying when they turned into dust (I get that it's a family show, but we've had violent, bloody deaths before, why should CGI monkeys be any different). Someone tweet a Once writer to confirm his death tbh
