Stefan is basically the person that made this whole story up. If Maleficent never met Stefan, Maleficent wouldn’t have known Aurora. Also, she wouldn’t have discovered her evil magic if she didn’t meet Stefan.
Not gonna lie, it irked me how inconsistent they were with her powers. One minute she's effortlessly wiping out whole squads and armies and the next she's struggling against the king
Malificent ended up caught in her own curse and loved Sleeping Beauty. Malificent broke the spell only because of the curse she put on sleeping beauty. weird.
I might be mistaken but did Maleficent just saved Aurora from falling cliff, and i tought Maleficent is like "god maybe I must spear Aurora's life just this one time"😮
