(I'm not sure where to put stuff like this anymore?)
So, a while ago my friend and I were trying to figure out how it was possible for someone like Maleficent to get into the Book of Prophesies. Firstly, she had to find it. Secondly, she would totally need a computer... right?
We concluded maybe not.
Now, first thing’s first. Maleficent acquiring the Book of Prophecies. At first, I felt like this was kind of a silly plot point because why would Maleficent be able to find such a legendary thing, but people like Xehanort wouldn’t? I’m sure he told her about it and everything, but how in the world would someone like Maleficent find it? Then I remembered...
There is more than one “book of prophecyâ€.
The master gave 5 of the foretellers their own book of prophecy. Theoretically, there should be 5 said books still in existence. Is it really that odd for Maleficent, one of the main villains of the series, to have found at least one?
Now comes the second point.
The dandelions are in a state of sleep, locked inside of the world inside of the book.
You might be thinking, “That’s just silly!†but we already have a few examples of worlds inside of books, as well as worlds that are only data. 100 Acre Wood is a world self contained inside of a book that Sora can enter and exit as he pleases. Space Paranoids and The Grid are both worlds composed entirely of data that can be edited and changed from the outside and exited/entered as one pleases. Jiminy’s Journal is very similar to Space Paranoids too. That brings me to my 3rd point:
The book of prophesies is similar or identical to a world like 100 Acre Wood and can be connected like Space Paranoids & The Grid
So, not only is the Book of Prophecies a self contained world within a book (most likely Ava’s book), but it’s also possible that the books are connected to each other just like the Space Paranoids and The Grid.
Spoilers for DDD, but in The Grid, Tron didn’t remember Sora until the very last moment despite The Grid only being a copy of Space Paranoids, meaning technically Sora has never met Tron from The Grid. Tron reacted to Sora’s desperate attempts to reach him and probably would have succeeded had they not been separated. That saidddd:
The 5 books are probably connected
One book allows you access to all the books. If Ava’s book contains the sleeping dandelions (if that part of the theory is true), it’s possible that the other 4 books also have access to the world where the dandelions sleep.
In that case, Maleficent having one of the books isn’t actually plot breaking. In fact, if this theory is true, it’d make a lot of sense for her to get her hands on one of the books and use it to get inside. Following me so far?
Now that we have those ideas out of the way, I will now theorize HOW Maleficent got into the book
Can Maleficent use a computer?
Pfft, heck no. She calls the datascape “date escape†for goodness sakes. Who are you dating Maleficent and why are you escaping?
I highly doubt she managed to not only get a device like Chip and Dale’s that can simulate a world and allow her to enter. But if I recall correctly, when Pete was accidentally pulled into the journal, Maleficent entered via magic, meaning:
Maleficent entered the Book of Prophecies with magic, not technology
We’ve seen various ways to enter these types of worlds, not only via technology.
+ Sora enters 100 Acre Wood by staring at its pop up pages
+ Sora enters Space Paranoids by getting zapped by a laser and transferred
+ Mickey and crew enter the journal via a flash of light (if I remember right)
+ Sora and Riku enter The Grid by diving into a dream...?
Is it that strange that Maleficent managed to enter such a world with her all powerful magic? I mean, it’s not really all powerful, but she is the Mistress of Evil, such a thing shouldn’t be very difficult.
