One detail I really appreciated about these movies is Maleficent's magic is normally sparkly gold, her magic is only green when she's casting out of anger. I think it's a really nice way to highlight she's not evil she's just capable of doing bad things.

I just don't understand why in the dinner scene Aurora didn't speak up more in Maleficent's defense. Literally Philip said more to try to counter what his mother was saying than her own adopted daughter did.

I know there’s a joke about not giving men mics but these men are an exception to that rule and probably my fav

1:04:51 Maleficent telling him to pull himself together was so much funnier considering he was more hands on in raising Aurora as a child. Feeding her, protecting her from harm, etc.

I said it once, I'll say it again: this movie would have been better as a show. There are extremly interesting story beats in here, and interesting world building. But the limiting run time shoots it in the legs. They introduce so many interesting characters, especially the three dark Fai. (The snowl owl one even had he reocuring theme with taking care of children, which later lead into him saving those human children.) But we barely get the time to spend time with them, to the point where I can't rember their names for the live of me! That's just wasted potential! This story would have done so well as a mini series to explore all the things introduced!

A few things. First, I think Phillip is one if my favorite live action princes because a) they dated for five years before they got engaged, b) is respectful towards Malificient and Aurora and wants what is best for them, c) loves his parents which explains why he is blindsided because they were the people that raised him, and d) fought for them in the end. Second: i respect how dark they went with the story to show how far hate can go. But the massacre scene was really hard to watch. The pink dust just obliterating dozens of the fae in one shot gave me fictional PTSD. I can’t imagine. I was also freaked out by the lieutenant looking like she was having an orgasm when playing the death organ. Every kill was orgasmic to her. That creeped me out. And of course, them stealing the fae’s dead bothered me and everyone. Third, I loved how they were able to create one huge biodome with a bunch of ecosystems. It was fun seeing many environments and aesthetics that each fairy had. My favorite are the tropical ones because their wings were vivid and vibrant and bright.

One thing I just noticed is the disappointed and shook look on Diavol's face when Aurora tells Maleficent to cover her horns.....shows he really does care for her feelings when being told to hide who she is.

I just love that you’re both shredding the prince to pieces.

I also had a problem with this movie, I specifically didn't like the absolute massacre that seemed to have been brushed over in favor of a wedding THAT DAY. Like could they take a couple days to fix the place up, inform the people and mourn the dead first?? It looks good but the first was far better.

just wanted to take a minute to say i really appreciate your guys’ commentaries, from stupid jokes to amazing analysis and questions! this has become my comfort channel, especially going to sleep to help myself and my mind relax. i seriously thank y’all for always putting out amazing content that helps myself and others in different ways! keep doing you, guys!

Okay how is NO ONE talking about what Stef said at 55:00 😂 That statement and Sams reaction to it made my freaking day golden 🤣

Obviously, "Mistress of Evil" in this movie referred to the Queen and all her plotting, but I always saw this movie as "The weaponization of science vs. The wonders of nature," but that is really vague.

The dinner scene with the cat always makes me kinda feel wholesome. I think it gives an idea of how important Diaval is for both Mal and Aurora. They could've left him as surveillance but no, Aurora invited him to go to dinner with e/o's guardians bc she recognizes that he played a big role in her childhood and well-being, Mal took his suggestions without remarks bc she trusts him enough that she knew he won't make a fool out of her. And with that cat scene, Mal showed how she won't just sit there while Diaval is constantly annoyed by a cat, she _will_ fuck you up even if it's just your pet that fucks with him. (Not even adding the fact that they were served birds, with Mal's wings out in the open and Diaval being a literal bird, even if they didn't know that part. You're telling me they didn't have any beef?? Pork?? Also, I _do_ think she knew about Diaval being a bird, they let a cat in, which will feed on birds if they can, and the bird meat, again.)

I'm not really a Maleficent fan, but the fact that Aurora and Maleficent's bond was broken so easily was uniquely frustrating for me.

54:59 “yes mama gag those dilfs!” Highly unexpected but highly amusing. I cackled and replayed this over and over

Idk but um somehow the Prince slander was just beautiful to me lol. Your guys commentary never ceases to make me laugh.

God I remember watching this movie in theaters, surrounded by kids, and being absolutely baffled to be watching a literal church massacre ethnic cleansing scene. The first movie already tackled unexpectedly dark topics, but they really went, uhh... all out with the fantasy racism in this one.

I almost choked on my candy when you said the prince was like a thin slice of white bread😭😭

My biggest problem with this film is how quickly everyone moves on. You've just had dozens of people die, on *both* sides, and now you're just going to sit down at a wedding and be HAPPY? My god, they just murdered your best friend, potentially! Edit: 1:04:25 okay so you guys do mention it, thank god XD

"Don't worry, you're straight, you don't have to understand" absolutely killed me 🤣🤣🤣

I think the reason they could still use the curse in this one is because the curse wasn’t broken in the sense that it would never happen again it’s just that the curse was “fulfilled” like the terms were met: 16th birthday, prick finger, sleep like death, kiss wakes her up. And the reason that they give for her “not doing it before” (it being breaking the curse) I think is that she now has the power of the phoenix in her so she can once and for all break the curse. Remember the “no power on earth can change it” part of the curse phrasing? The power to break it wasn’t technically able to be on earth yet, it had to be transferred/realized in her!! Like I know it’s convoluted but that’s just what makes this movie so cool if you look deep enough

"dont worry you're straight" skadjskak I almost died laughing

I was wondering if you guys would be interested in "But I'm a Cheerleader" ? It's one of my favorite movies, and I'm very interested to see what you guys would think of it. ( Sam's hair is coming in nice, too :D )

"yas mama, gag those dilfs!!" "what-" "dont worry youre straight" *pat pat*😭😭

I think a point could be made that Aurora grew up very sheltered, she has had minimal contact with humans overall having left her father's castle in the hands of the people there it doesn't appear that she hung around it at all, so her being manipulated by the Queen makes alittle more sense because Aurora is so naive

For the spindle since it was rebuilt by magic it is now a magical item, so while the curse on Aurora was broken the magic still remained. So unless it's destroyed like it was later you could curse as many people as you want😈.

Aurora and Maleficent really just dropped each other after one fight (that wasn't between them) and about 24 hours of time. THIS is suppose to be the example of true (non romantic/family) love??

I enjoy Elle Fanning's acting SO MUCH MORE when she does an English accent than when she uses her own. It's very odd. She's charming either way! But when she does American she tends to sound like she has a cold. :(

I like how they went for the music thing for the genocide of the fairies, because it’s very well known that in WW2 they told the prisoners in concentration camps that they were going to give them a shower, but end up poisoning them with gas

I think that Auroa (I butchered that) personal curse is broken, but cursed items remain cursed unless that item has been destroyed by the caster or something more powerful. And sense it’s still active ,she was still slightly connected to it.

Angelina is having so much fun and so am I.

ik its a wedding but the fact that theres probably dead bodies everywhere bc of the very real battle that took place literally 3 seconds before amuses me, like ya'll couldn't have waited a week maybe for everyone to heal 😭

22:40 I think that deep inside, Aurora knew Maleficent was innocent, but when everyone said it was her she automatically had to believe that.

“Oh, she adopted more kids!” Of course she did. It IS Angelina, after all. 😆

I agree that the movie had a lot of potential and good storylines but should've probably been a mini series instead

"gag those dilfs" I choked lmaO

Why the heck did they let child Maleficent stay alone on the surface? When apparently they could have saved her at any time? I assume they just didnt know about her but they never make that explicit, she never asks

I'm watching your reaction now and I don't know if you know this, but "Lickspittle", the elf without wings is played by the actor Warwick Davis. He also played Professor Flitwick (from the beginning) and the Goblin Griphook (only in the last one) in Harry Potter :D

Y’all were brutal with the commentary…I LOVED IT!! More please 😂🤣

turning the white queen into a goat makes her eat grass also :) that’s a good take from her meet-based menu in the dining scene

"warming up... to what... having a personality." When I tell you I gasped because it was so true

“Don’t worry you’re straight. It’s okay” 🤣☠️

"Yaaasss mama, gag those dilfs".......That is the reaction of the year. Love you guys

Maleficent never broke the curse,only the spell on AURORA but the spinning wheel was still cursed,thats why the Queen could use It again

a thin slice of white bread is such a funny description god

In the original story, Philips mother is half ogre... which explain why she Is allergic to a type of flower and they are enemies to fairies/fae and Malieficent is a fairy. Also, when Malieficent says your kind she wasn't talking about humans.

Great commentary! Here are my thoughts: the visual aesthetics of this movie are way better than the first and feel more in line with the world created by Eyvind Earle for Sleeping Beauty (my favorite of the Disney animated classics). I really appreciate the way the plot challenges the relationship between Maleficent and Aurora, and how it also focuses on the love between Aurora and Philip this time around. The building rivalry between the fairy and human worlds is gripping and suspenseful and the battle doesn't sugarcoat the devastating costs of war, which was something that both surprised and impressed me for a Disney movie. However, my 2 big complaints are that Michelle Pfeiffer really "phoned it in" as Queen Ingrith and Aurora and Phillip's wedding shouldn't have been held immediately after the big fight. Overall I liked the movie better than the first one, though.

You have no idea how satisfying that Jaida reference was. It's like my brain was all of a sudden on screen and it just made me happy 😂😂 (For anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about it was the "Look Over There" near the beginning)

OK, am I the only one wondering if Aurora and Philip are cousins? The queen's brother was sent to the moor, but thought he should be allowed to steal and maleficent found a boy stealing from the moor and escorted him back out. They'd be around the right age.

You should watch Enchanted, it's one of the best Disney live-action!! Also the referencing to other Disney works is so much fun, the music is light, it's just great :))))

“I’ve been waiting on this one... TURN IT UP!!!”

Pinto literally owns my heart. One of my fav characters in this series🥹🫶🏻

The way they designed the wings in this movie is STUNNING if you could choose to be any fantasy creature I would definitely choose dark fey there so beautiful and there life seems a bit more interesting than the average humans life.

me: "eh that character is fine, i guess" devil's spawn : *tries to pronounce Maleficent* me: "kill it! kill it with fire!"

You guys could give The Mitchells vs. the Machines a try it's an animated movie

"you would think diaval would be a little bit iffy about that." maybe in bird culture its okay to wear the skulls of your best friend/ boyfriend / servant's enemies?

i think the antagonist's ubplot it a bit overdone but i kinda love it as a potential explanation in all of those types of fantasy where you show magical stuff happen in ye olde non-specific past but it's explicitely told to have happened in our universe

I also didn’t like that they decided to get married while probably dead bodies are still laying around XD

13:39 "Look at her! She's in the Evil Cloak!!!!" 😂

I love the dynamic between Maleficent & Diaval 🖤

the increase in drag race references is something i can appreciate

"Don't worry you're straight, you don't have to understand" T_T

yuh this was a treat. i just watched your maleficent 1 reaction commentary last night and now the second one?? the timing

In case you guys weren't aware by the way, Phoenix tears have healing properties (or that's the story anyway) so the whole healing tear thing wasn't really outlandish not to mention the whole phoenix vibe of her outfit from the start it does make some sense she would be a phoenix- plus the whole turning people and animals into other creatures set her up for another form

I loved this movie! Great reaction guys! Ever thought of doing 'Cruella'? That movie was brilliant!

12:42 that laugh 🤣

hahaha this title is cracking me up - Maleficent 2?? um... well it looks pretty! haha I love you guys!

Now that they have completely reacted to Maleficent, I'll wait for them to react to Descendants and the big difference between both Disney productions of the same subject

Well, stainless steel is iron and quite a common material for cutlery but royalty would probably use silver cutlery.

Maleficent should turned the evil queen ingrith into a Doberman Pinscher

I love y’all thought processes and we need more of this mindset to societal issues. Unproblematic kings 👑😌

Of all the jokes you guys made im surprised you didnt comment on the "ill see you at the christening" line with is actually so raunchy if you know the history of royal weddings 🤣🤣

Omg I loved this video the banter was so great it really felt like was chilling and watching a movie together with you guys, the jokes were on fire! Please continue what your doing it helping me get to college and through my driving test!

*u guys referencing the proposal* me: OMG I KNOW THAT ONE !!! I WATCHED THE VIDEO LIKE 100 TIMES srsly made my day

Queen Ingrith she spent the rest of her life in the animal kingdom

Bi Stef is my favourite Stef :D

Every time you post new videos I get so happy

Bro I'm so happy they uploaded I've had nothing to watch today My immediate reaction to seeing they uploaded was yelling yay

This was just a roast And this is what this movie deserved

I love your videos guys. Too good

I was on vacation the last few days but now I finally have time to watch the video (more than enough time, because I‘m sick at home with the infamous illness, that must not be named and am not allowed to leave my flat for at least five days) 🤒 So thank you guys for providing me with entertainment 😅

I just watched this review twice, I LOOOVE the live action Maleficent series, its just so well done!

These movies are so fun and I loved that y’all watched them! If you liked Michelle in the evil role I think y’all would enjoy Stardust!! I’d be surprised if neither of y’all seen it but just in case it has an amazing, well known cast and is also magical

Bruh I won't lie I cried my eyes out when the Blue fairy Sacrifice herself 💙

i like how this movie subverts the parental stereotype of the mother being happy about their daughter getting married, while the father doesn't want to let her go. in this case, it's diaval who's excited and maleficent who disapproves. it also makes me mad how aurora didn't even defend them against ingrith's blatant disrespect. about the bird food comment (besides the accidental innuendo), i saw a theory that says one time maleficent caught diaval eating a bird (since birds definitely don't have a cannibalism taboo) and she was horrified, so the comment is like an inside joke that becomes even funnier by the end of the movie due to what maleficent's true form is.

"you're straight, you don't have to understand" HAJANAJSJAHA

I Discovered you guys yesterday and I have been laughing my ass off you guys and your commentary are fantastic funny relatable and just comedic gold

Hey guys! I was wondering if you've ever seen the movie Chronicle? It's a great down to earth take of a superhero like movie

new movie buds vid, yes!!!

In the first movie she locked herself out of undoing the spell when she made it. "This curse will last till the end of time, no power on earth can change it." With those words her power was made useless to brake the curse. So in this one, had she done a spell on him she could have undone it.

ugh yes i've been waiting for this

I use recently found u guys and u are so funny. I love your chats😂

Whenever I see ambitious in a review or commentary I expect it to be subpar.

Thank the gods I'm not the only one who made a joke about Sonic the hedgehog when that little spiky guy started playing with her golden ring crown. I was just giggling in the theatre. "His only job is to stand here and look pretty - and he's *failing* at it" I mean... you're not wrong. His only function in the story is being on hand in case they need to use his fivehead for a powerpoint presentation. I still ship Maleficent & Diaval; I can't help it. I was side eyeing Ed Skrein, just going, "step off, Francis. She's taken."

I was waiting for this ❤️ not ashamed to admit that I cried with this one even with the whole phoenix thing foreshadowing everything 😂 Not as iconic as the first one, but still it's one of my favourite sequels nonetheless.

Sam has a dad haircut! 😂

I LIVE for these consistent updates 🙌

I really would love a movie just going into the history of Maleficent’s kin the fae. Also about her ancestor the original dark fae. That was the most interesting part of this movie and that’s the only reason I rewatch it.

oh, guys, i love you so much. thanks for existing

I find it sooo interesting how u guys hold microphones. with 2 fingers. Its very cool 😁🤯
