Yeah, and if you ask me, that makes her worse than those guys by default. Besides, not many villains try to kill someone for a sheer laugh like she did. Even Claude Frollo relented from trying to kill Quasimodo when the latter was a baby explicitly as penance for the evil he did, which made him FAR more redeemable than Maleficent by a long shot (it also helps that even in the Disney film, he acted as a far better foster parent than the Dursleys in Harry Potter did. At least he didn't starve Quasimodo and/or have him live in a broom cupboard in one of the stairwells of the Cathedral), who deliberately enacted a death curse on Aurora for what amounted to a sick joke (not even anger at being denied to a party, since she made clear she had zero hard feelings towards not being invited when asked by Queen Leah and clearly intended to have Aurora killed without even a second thought (the ONLY reason it was made to a coma was due to Merriweather softening the blow... AFTER Maleficent had already left).). In fact, to be honest, I'm a bit disgusted that Maleficent is kept off the Complete Monster category, even though she very clearly qualifies.
