Were you bothered that they changed it up with the 'poisoned apple' bit?

Instead of Snow White eating the poisoned apple, it's the Queen/Hag. For me, I respect them for doing that but also hate that they did that. I wanted to see Snow White in a glass coffin and get awoken by the Prince, but I like that they did something that wasn't too predictable.

There is nothing wrong with the original story that we are all familiar with, but they obviously wanted to do something quite different and for me it worked. I enjoyed the "alternate" story, it was refreshing to see a different take on the story.

That scene made the whole movie for me! Snow is not longer the sumise, helpless little girl she was at the beginning of her journey; she is the hero of her own story and doesn't need to be saved. I think the twist, acknowledging her growth, was brilliant.
And we don't actually get to see the Queen eating the apple. I think the exchange was there just to show her accepting Snow's victory. -

I hated the apple scene in both Mirror Mirror and SWATH. In Mirror Mirror it came off as fake and a pathetic attempt to be cool and pit a twist on the story, but it didn't work for me.

I guess one of the reasons they did that is because the movie was over? I mean it felt like if they added the glass coffin it would have been too much? I Didn't like the twist but I felt that the movie was pretty much over so there was no need to have Snow white fainting. You couldn't have 2 happy endings that would be too much.

I thought it was cute. I went "aww how cute" nice twist however, if they figured that adding that twist in order to have another dealing with the King well that wasn't very smart because that twist with the king was just silly. I would have preferred the original thing with Snow White being kissed and all of that instead of back to back twists.

Hmmm I don't know if she forced her to eat the apple slice. She offered her the apple and repeated the line from earlier "It's important to know when you have been beaten". She was prompting/urging the witch to know it's over and kill herself but she might not have, she might have just continued living as an old hag until she died of old age. It's ambiguous. The important part was Snow White letting the witch know that the latter had lost and that it was over. Not whether or not she eats the apple. But she might well have.

You can blame me but I wanted the Queen to win at the end more than Snow White while at the beginning I wanted her dead. I think it's because of Julie. She just won me over again. Sorry, Lilly and please, if you want to be a singer, sing something like your father in the future. No Bollywood
