I love Maleficent and her character, (even though she wouldn't love me), but that movie Disney made about her was degrading to her iconic status and also to Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather as well. Yeah, agreed, and not many others came out of it unscathed either. Even Aurora was poorly handled in this.

And having her named Maleficent as a child when she's supposed to still be innocent is a very bad idea. At least have her change her name after being made evil, like how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, for example, or how Erik Lenshirr became Magneto in First Class. And unfortunately, this film isn't the first time Woolverton pushed the whole "Women aren't inherently evil as men made them become evil" crap. Beauty and the Beast pushed much of the same, and ironically, the women who actually do wish to marry in the film, while not painted as evil, aren't exactly painted in a very positive light.
