Yeah I kinda expected redemption for Maleficent in "Maleficent" seeing as how it depicted her in a different light than Sleeping Beauty and made her less one-dimensional pure evil. Although the true villain of the film was King Stefan (who wasn't a villain in Sleeping Beauty)

About "loving this villain's character but having no problem with his death": Going back to Chrysalis and Sombra from MLP, they were the pure evil, one-dimensional villains you see in Disney movies, Dragonball Z, etc., yet fans loved them too much to want them killed off, refusing to consider the possibility for Chrysalis even though there is no way she survives that fall. Although there is a common misconception with Chrysalis that she was only doing what she needed to do to survive, and feed her subjects, but it is stated by both Chrysalis and Cadance that she feeds off love for power, because she and her changelings are power-hungry and their primary objective is to cause destruction. Although in contrast to this most fans wanted to see Tirek (the G4 one) killed because he sent the princesses to hell.
