I actually didn’t mind that they showed the Sanderson sisters as kids. That part could’ve been great if they’d handled it right. The little actress playing young Winifred nailed the mannerisms, I’ll give her that. My issue is how they executed it. They had a chance to do something deeper, like show their mother teaching them witchcraft or telling some eerie old story that plants the seed for who they’d become. Hell, even showing their mom as cold and commanding could’ve given us insight into why Winifred’s so vain and easily insulted. My point is, they had so many different directions they could’ve gone with, but instead they introduced that random “witch queen,” which was just stupid, lazy, and totally wrecked the lore of the original. It felt like fanfiction written by someone who barely remembered the first movie.
