Who else here thought that Maleficent's storyline in Kingdom Hearts II was a TAD bit contrived? I mean, in the first game she was such a beautifully written character with an aura of evil and calm about her, but in the second game she's reduced to a few contrived plot-lines (such as teaming up with Oogie Boogie to take over Christmas Town, and trying to find a castle) and she is saddled with that annoying Pete. SO I was just wondering if anyone felt the same way, OR if you have a differing opinion?
