Fully agree with both of you. There was literally no reason to alter the story. And making Maleficent into a good guy all along was a bad move. They should have made her more like Anakin Skywalker from the Prequel Trilogy or Erik Lenshirr from X-Men: First Class in terms of falling to villainy, though personally I prefer her actually being evil from the start like Palpatine or Albert Wesker. What's worse is that the film is pushing an agenda that shouldn't be pushed to kids. Heck, it even included elements from Beauty and the Beast (this isn't even opinion, either. Woolverton flat out confirmed it in TIME here: ), which basically revealed further just how badly done Beauty and the Beast actually was as well.
