8 Reasons Why Maleficent And Daenerys Targaryen Are Basically The Same Person
7. They're Both High-Born
We dont really know much about Maleficents past or present, for that matter. All we do know is that upon crashing Auroras royal birthday celebration like a boss, she was addressed by Queen Leah as Your Excellency. That, and she has a sweet castle not too far from King Stefans. Chances are Walt Disney Pictures circa 1959 wasnt too concerned with going in-depth about a villains backstory, so well leave that to Robert Strombergs interpretation with Lady Cheekbones herself, Angelina Jolie, starring in the title role. Daenerys Targaryen is the only surviving heir of the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen. Therefore, she (arguably) has the most legitimate claim to the Iron Throne. (Depending on whom you ask, of course.) With her many fancy titles (e.g. Daenerys of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Princess of Dragonstone, Queen of Andals and the First Men, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons, Queen of Meereen, etc.), you know shes the real deal. An OG, if you will.
