    Disney has been taking over the box office in recent years with it’s live-action remakes of animated classics. While several of these have practically been shot-for-shot remakes, Maleficent at least offered us something a little different: a look at the classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, from the perspective of the villain - the evil fairy godmother Maleficent as played by Angelina Jolie.
    That being said, the movie definitely raises a ton of questions. Like why is she named “Maleficent” which literally means evil? How come she has seemingly unstoppable magic powers, but can’t give herself new wings? Why does King Stefan send his newborn baby to live with strange pixies he literally just met instead of protecting her himself? And why does Aurora become queen?!
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Maleficent! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

    • @mallios13
      @mallios13 Před 4 lety +55

      Actually, it's just later generic European folklore. Iron being a weakness to mythical beings wasn't contrived until after Christianity became dominant; namely given "fairies" and "fey folk" were often the result of superstitions following the dominance of religious institutions, culturally the pagan gods had been reduced to small beings who played tricks; i.e. fairies.
      In many pre-Christian faiths, mythical beings were actually impervious to iron (and fire), which is part of what made them so fearsome. It generally required a "brave hero" figure to use pure brawn, since weapons were ineffective. There are also tales of mythical beings creating weapons and armor, which they couldn't do if iron was harmful to them.
      So if Maleficent is supposed to be an actual mythical being, iron would have no effect on her, namely weapons. But I guess Disney didn't wanna go pissing off their Christian demographic by depicting the king as an uber Christian man who had weapons deliberately consecrated to hurt fairies.

    • @ShirotoraGodsbane
      @ShirotoraGodsbane Před 4 lety +77

      @@mallios13 The idea that fairies are allergic to iron predates Christianity in northern Europe. Most likely it comes from the Brits still using bronze weapons when the first iron wielding invaders came.
      In folklore, it was the gods that cursed the fae with several things that really just made their lives miserable. The allergy to iron was because most tools were made of iron or had iron parts.

      @@MusicChick43Vr Yes, and in the original story, it made sense to call that character Sleeping Beauty. In Maleficent, Aurora explicitly says (in the closing narration) that she was the one called Sleeping Beauty, but there's no reason why she would have gained that name in that setting.
      It's like making Chris Pine's Kirk the Federation's most senior captain in the Star Trek reboot - it's something that's only done because something similar happened in the original: of course juvenile delinquent Kirk should get given a starship called Enterprise - the original Kirk when 15-20 years older earned his way into being the youngest ever starship captain and was given one of a dozen front-line starships that was called Enterprise (and not even the best in the class). Of course the girl who didn't even get a full night's sleep should be called Sleeping Beauty - the original version of the character slept for a century.
