1. First of all, she enters Sleeping Beauty like the total boss she is.
2. Initially, when she hears she wasn't invited to Aurora's christening, she plays it cool.
3. Yeah, she may be the Mistress of Evil, but she seems nice, right?
4. Wait a second, this is starting to sound like a curse...
5. Yup, she just promised to kill Aurora BECAUSE SHE WASN'T INVITED TO A PARTY.
6. She holds off an entire battalion with a sassy hand gesture.
7. She can get a little cantankerous. But that's because she's a badass and everyone else around her really is a fool.
8. If you thought Maleficent was going to waste time on some silly song-and-dance numbers like other Disney villains, think again. Girl has an evil plot to see through!
9. Like any true villain, her eyebrow game is ON POINT.
10. Maleficent also gives the fiercest side-eye, the signature move of villains everywhere.
11. She has the whole "evil smile" thing down pat.
12. Just look at her, cackling away with that perfect malicious grin.
13. And check out her evil throne. All real villains have an evil throne.
14. Also, her castle just looks nefarious. Crumbling floor and collapsing columns? "Whatever," says Maleficent.
15. She'll even enchant household objects to be dangerous. She's like a murderous Martha Stewart.
16. Boy, does Maleficent hold a grudge. Sixteen years later and she's STILL pissed about not getting invited to that party.
17. If anything, she might be a little too aware of how wicked she is.
18. Maleficent delivers one of the most epic burns of all time.
19. When it comes to casting evil spells, Maleficent is a surefire Hall of Famer.
20. When she's around, the forecast calls for cloudy with a chance of imminent doom.
21. And for her greatest trick yet: She can transform into a dragon. A huge-ass dragon.
22. SERIOUSLY SHE IS TERRIFYING.
23. If this happened in real life, Maleficent would eat Prince Phillip for dinner and think nothing of it.
Maleficent is rotten to the core, and we love her for it. Throw your hands up, girl.
