The ending really annoyed me (Spoilers)

So Winnie turns good and finds her heart, and realizes she loves her sisters and gives up her powers to be with them. And we as the audience are supposed to go "Awwww she loves her sisters"

We supposed to forget about all the children they've killed? and go "Awwww Winnie wants to be with her sisters and gave up her powers for them" and now they're good guys with happy music playing as Winnie finds her heart and gives the girls advice.....That felt so forced cause Disney loves making every villain into good guys now and have a redemption, especially female villains.

I'm sorry but 3 Satan worshiping witches who've killed children don't deserve redemption, should've ended like the first movie did, they're killed and they go out being evil.

And ffs even the fucking book turned good and shed a fucking tear and the damn thing is supposed to be pure evil and holds nothing good inside it, Binx told us nothing good can come from it.

I am pretty sure all three ended up in hell.

Thats not the point, i'm saying they made the character grow a heart and go against who they was because thats the trend nowadays with Disney and most movies in general, gotta turn every villain good in the end, especially female villains.

That is how things are in Hollywood these days, can't have wamen in villainous roles, they must be "redeemed".

AGREED

Agreed. This movie had its moments, but the forced redemption arcs that Disney does now are annoying. Wonder what #3 (you know it'll happen) will look like.

I honestly can't disagree with anything you said.

The witches killed children - no coming back from that.

At least the Grimm Brothers knew how to dispatch evil.
