Right, but Ursula died too, how did she came back to life? That's what I didn't get, like, in the song, they mentioned Ursula traded the Sea King's Crown for the Evil Queen's life (which makes me wonder why would Ursula do so, and that makes me yet more curious for more episodes), but, what I tried to understand is... just like the Evil Queen and Maleficent, Ursula was also killed and, didn't have any crown to trade, so how did she even get back to life and got the crown? That's what I'm curious about... aaagghh, I need more episodes of thiiiis 😂😂

The way they're acting in the entire conversation makes me think its to mirror how both the queen and Maleficent plotted to kill their respective princesses.

[@Jacob-he3sn]

The Queen may be the one officially in charge, but she holds the status shakily. I think that many of the villains could potentially or definitely beat her in a one-on-one fight and take control. The only thing stopping this is such a fight could lead to an all out brawl to be on top, weakening the alliance as a whole and risking whoever started and potentially won the 1-on-1 fight. However, if I had to bet, Maleficent is the one I would say would come out on top. I think both the Queen and Maleficent know this, which is why the Queen is flustered and angry, constantly trying to put Maleficent down, while Maleficent is calm, cool, collected, and constantly pointing out the faults in the Queen’s statements and jabs.

What we learned from this: --Maleficent made a deal with Ursula to get a sleeping curse at the cost of her wings. -The Evil Queen was saved by Ursula, becoming at her debt. -The Evil Queen saved Maleficent from her death, so she could bring the other villains back. Together, they sealed Ursula away in order to save themselves from the debt they both had to the sea witch. It's so good to finally know why Ursula was that much of a threat to the villains... Also, I knew the Queen and Maleficent were bitter rivals, but I never expected something like this. I have to agree with the Queen, Maleficent is up to something, but what...?

[@stefaniarusso]

Hmmm it's a mystery to find out what there up to 😉😏

[@brianedner8125]

I think that due to Maleficent giving up her wings she doesn't owe a debt to Ursula anymore. The help banishing her is part paying her debt to The Evil Queen and part petty revenge for a curse that didn't work that long.

[@rafaelmatos5851]

@@brianedner8125 The wings were Maleficent's price to get the curse, not to be even with Ursula. I think Ursula made with Maleficent the same type of deal she made with Ariel. Maleficent would give her wings in exchange for the curse, but in case she failed, she would be in debt to her. With Ariel was the same, she would give her voice in exchange for the legs, but in case she failed she would belong to the sea witch.

[@McKendra9123]

If Maleficent does use the Cauldron to bring back someone, either aside from Hades or other then him, I have a few guesses base on the man Disney content I've seen related to Maleficent: 1. Chernabog - one popular Disney KZbinr claims she and the Evil Queen were students of Chernabog. It's also believed that the Forbidden Mountain, Maleficent's home, was once Bald Mountain, the home of Chernabog. 2. Diablo - we have yet to see her faithful pet and her only true friend. It's possible that Diablo was killed by another villain or one of the heroes from Maleficent' story. 3. Her wings - it's possible Maleficent will use the Cauldron in a way that brings her wings back without dealing with Ursula again. 4. Child - there might be a hidden child from Maleficent's past, with the father being possibly either Chernabog, King Stefan or Hades, since some works about Maleficent has Hades as a lover, past lover or possible lover, like Descendants 3. So this would be a neat chance to bring in the children of the villains from the Descendants films.

So if I understand it right, Maleficent once make deal with someone, trading her wings for sleep curse (not sure, if it was sea witch or evil Queen, but EQ fits better). Them EQ dies, but is saved by Sea Witch. She wants her help in getting crown, but EQ betrays her, keep Crown and revive Maleficent. Maleficent them revive other villains and all of them together seal sea witch, until episode 1. Damn, that is good story.

[@SecondaryTschuangtse]

Each time I watch this video I get a slight grin at about 5:40. While Maleficent is portrait as toying and having fun the evil Queen is dead serious. This is why I find the hint of a smile at that point so noticeable. While you could push it either on the note struck or broken character I personally just elected to believe it's an actress and singer enjoying herself, and personally, that is worth more to me.

[@Shsy7573]

Right? I noticed that too. Maleficent’s smile never really drops for pretty much the entire song, even as the Evil Queen is insulting her. The only time it rlly does is when the Queen is referencing her deal and her past, and even then her eyes are still more intrigued and amused than they are offended and angry. Like, it’s a blow, but in the end the words mean little to her and slide right off her back.

[@alyssawhalley858]

Come to think of it, there has always been hidden tension between the evil Queen and malifecent. Even the way malifecent smirks at the queen and the queen snarling back when malifecent put her ingredient into that time reversal spell all the way back in the first episode

[@jacobkusnerik8809]

I've always wondered if there was ever any animosity or tension between the Evil QUEEN and the MISTRESS of All Evil, and this PROVES it! It also shows why two of Disney's most sinister ladies are frightened of a pudgy sea witch; URSULA was the one that brought the Queen back to life and the one who gave Mal the spell for Aurora. SHE was partially responsible for them becoming the women they are today and being in the positions they are now.

[@Factor.X]

I love how they both ow a debt to the sea witch. So much character development for two characters in a 3 minute songs.

[@Jacob-he3sn]

🎵Not Quite🎵 You’re half right. The Queen does have a debt to pay, but Maleficent does not. As Maleficent said on the Queen’s debt: “In the sea you drowned, but the sea witch found An opportunity and brought you back to solid ground Quite the find she made, for your life she’d trade The sea king’s crown a deal that you betrayed” On the other hand, the Queen herself said: “There was once a king who had found his bride, but a winged-green fairy the kingdom denied Stephan’s love you lost, so the sea you crossed A deal for a sleeping curse your wings had cost” Since Maleficent is wingless, this seems to mean that the deal was already fulfilled. In short, Maleficent made and fulfilled a deal with Ursula to put Aurora under the sleeping spell, while when Ursula saved the Queen from death, the Queen betrayed the deal and still owes a debt to Ursula. Perhaps Maleficent has made another deal with Ursula since then and owes a different debt, but if so, I didn’t find it in this song.

Okay, I've been listening to the song some more because it is amazing. I've since noticed that Maleficent admitted in the beginning of the song, "True, I owe a debt". However, the deal between Maleficent and Ursula, as stated by the Queen, has been fulfilled, since the deal was in return for a sleeping curse, Maleficent would give up her wings to Ursula, which seems to have happened as Maleficent is wingless. Between these two things, I don't think Maleficent owes Ursula anything at this point, at least not anything that is known by the Queen or she would have thrown it in Maleficent's face. No, I believe that Maleficent's admission to debt is instead in referral to the Queen bringing her back, which may be one of the few reasons why Maleficent hasn't taken over this show (at least not yet), but it is just a theory. In total, I would say that you (@The why not gamer) are 3/4 right, as both of them owe a debt, but only one of them owes a debt to Ursula, at least based on my understanding of this. If either of you have any more little but crucial/subtle details to add, please do. I love a good and proper debate, and if I'm wrong about anything, I would like to have that pointed out so that I can either properly amend my theory, accept another's theory, or make a new one as needed.

Conflict is juicy, and it's great to see things other than just the progression of the main plot or them all being relatively "chummy" and calm as if they don't have conflicting personalities, goals, and levels of morality.

I adore how composed Maleficent stays in comparison to the Evil Queen, even acknowledging that she DOES owe a debt. She's confident and poised, well aware about the power imbalance between the two of them. Ursula is most likely the only one she actually views as an equal of sorts which is probably one of the reasons she's off scheming on her own. "If you want something done right, do it yourself." - and what better way to do that, than to handle a worthy opponent with caution than with the Queens desperation? Edit: Note that the Evil Queen seems to grow more desperate the further the story progresses. It seems she's desperately trying to stay in control while powerful "pawns" like Maleficent are further slipping out of her reach.

[@christopherfarley9766]

This so much! Maleficent spends almost the entire time smiling or smirking which is perfectly offset by the Queen's almost exaggerated displays of anger and frustration on her face.

[@matthewcrispinwordofGod]

@@christopherfarley9766 Exactly honestly the villains who almost never show signs of anger always scare me the most since they can usually keep a level head even if their plans fail. More hot tempered villains like the evil queen are easier to rile up so their more prone to making mistakes.

[@shadowldrago]

I think it also doesn't help the Queen that, as far as we know, at any point in time, Maleficent could become a dragon. And there's not a whole lot she could do about that.

Yep. Other commenters have said the same thing. The song you are referring to from Into The Woods is Your Fault. Love that song.

[@JakNekon]

WOW. You can feel the energy on this one, the barely contained mix of anger, disdain, and barely acknowledged need for each other's existence. Just gives me chills, I swear. And they're thinking adding Hades and (possibly) the Horned King to all this is going to go smoothly? Against Ursula and Shadow Man? I love every second of this!

[@neptunetide2275]

This is so amazing!!! The only flaw I have is that Maleficent did not have her wings last episode (It’s Not Me; It’s You) when she had a flashback of her giving the crown to Stephen. Perhaps, the Queen is wrong about Maleficent’s true backstory & motives. You can also see the Queen growing angry and starting to slip but Maleficent is keeping composure and ease. Maleficent seems satisfied with this convo with the Queen. So it appears that the Queen owes the sees witch a debt. She was suppose to get the sea king’s crown in exchange for Ursula bringing her back but she betrayed Ursula. Instead of repaying the debt, she locked Ursula up. Maleficent doesn’t owe anything because she gave up her wings to Ursula. She also doesn’t owe the Queen anything because she brought back the villains. It looks like Maleficent has her own secret agenda.

[@rafaelmatos5851]

Maleficent may have given up her wings to get the sleeping curse from Ursula, but that doesn't mean she is even with her. Her deal with the sea witch can be compared with the one Ariel did. She traded her voice for human legs, but she was still in debt to Ursula because of the three-days deadline. Maybe Ursula also had something like that with Maleficent because... well, it's Ursula we're talking about. Of course she would try to have one of the biggest baddies in her debt.

What gets me though is the sleeping curse…. Maryweather made the sleep spell, Maleficent intended for Aurora to die so maybe the Queen has her facts about Maleficent wrong too

[@ringpops8363]

Truly thinking about it Maleficent does have a small upperhand, they both made deals with Ursula but while Maleficent payed hers by giving her wings for the sleeping curse, and the Evil Queen didn't give up the crown for her end of the deal. Unless Maleficent has another reason to be threatened by Ursula then The Evil Queen definitely has more to fear about Ursula being free.

[@SeonaSara]

No, bc it’s a deal just like with Ariel. And Maleficent/Ezmia failed so normally she had to give her soul to Ursula so she’s still in debt to her. She was dead before which ended the deal, but now that the Evil Queen brought her back to life, her deal with Ursula is still in order.

[@PrinceMarc22]

The only thing I love better than seeing a villain with a super ego is two villains with super egos. This showdown reminds me of a show I saw aboard the Disney Magic called Villains Tonight where the evil Queen and Maleficent had a "boo-off" to determine who was the most evil villain. As I recall, the Evil Queen won that battle so it will be interesting to see if she can retain her title in this round.😉 Awesome song by the way!😃 This was definitely worth the wait.

Technically the sleeping curse didn’t start as a sleeping curse, it was a death curse. Merryweather was the one who changed the curse into being put to sleep instead of death. But still there’s one question that remains, who resurrected Ursula?

[@BluemoonLacrymosa]

I was wondering that. Maybe Morgana, her sister? She was only trapped, never killed

[@mietitore1823]

Then how did she escape?

[@georgeskourtis3922]

She was set free by the “time reversal spell” from the first episode of the villain’s lair. It was all the Shadow Man’s plan

[@SeonaSara]

She’s the daughter of a god simply, she was probably injured so other villains could take advantage of the situation but didn’t die then. She’s a goddess or half goddess and gods don’t die. And if you ask for Hades, well it was bc for him it was about his soul(he was played by his own game) and it’s bc it’s the Styx River which has magical powers.

[@gheata_playz874]

Ursula is the daughter of Poseidon, the children of the gods were neither good nor evil. Poseidon was the father of Hippocampus and Cyclops. It makes me worried them bringing back Hades. If they are going to mix in Greek Myths, Hades isn’t one to like being used.
