Deleted Scene: Agatha's Transformation | The School for Good and Evil | Netflix

“I don’t believe anyone is truly good or truly evil. But I know Sophie wants to be good…and that should be good enough” That is so true

They should have kept this in. This is such an important moment, and in the book it makes such a big difference to the story and the character. I think this movie is really good, but it lacks many things from the books that would have made it more like the original story and this scene would have helped a great deal

They shouldn’t have deleted this scene it would have been very inspiring and motivational for people who have insecurities😭

In the book, this was my favorite scene. Before this, Agatha was lonely in the Good side. Everyone thought that she had been a mistake, and she thought so too. She dressed however she wanted to, and she didn't care for manners, because she already thought no one would care about her anyway. Even though she was good and kind. So, in this scene, Dovey gives her makeover. She gets a dress, and thinks that maybe people will like her. She goes about the castle and everyone likes her. She's beautiful. And then, she looks in the mirror... and it's just her. And she thinks it's a trick, because no one would ever believe that she's beautiful. But Dovey says that it's true. When she went out, she was still the same person and she was smiling. She was beautiful because she believed she was beautiful. And this hit me like a truck, because tomboyish, bookish little girls aren't supposed to want to be pretty. They don't care about being beautiful, until they think we can't be be beautiful. Until we think we can't be loved. But Agatha was bookish and boyish. Agatha believed she couldn't be loved. And Agatha was beautiful. And that helped me learn that I could be beautiful. That helped me learn I could be loved.

They should have kept this scene. It sends out a beautiful message. You don't need anything to make yourself beautiful. You do that yourself by being you and being confident in yourself.

If they kept this scene in, it would’ve made Sophie’s transformation after the blood magic & evil spells all the more poignant. Really drive home the point of “ugly actions & words make YOU ugly.”

WHY WOULD THEY DELETE THIS?!??!!? Ugh it's such an incredible scene!

THIS! THIS is the Dovey I love. She isn't buying into the "Beauty is what makes Good Good." She is the mother figure Agatha needed when she was taken away from her mom. She is the graceful, calm, and wise Dean who sees a truly Pure Good soul that doesn't believe she deserves love. I thought that they didn't cast her well enough but this scene alone tells me they UNDERSTOOD Dovey.

i love this scene i hate how they edited out all of Agatha's struggles and made her only focused on Sophie. This is a beautiful message that would mean a lot to young girls and boy who watched the movie!

They should've kept this to balance both of the characters since Sophie got her extremely evil transformation, Agatha should've also had her spotlight with this totally good transformation with the fairygod mother. A friend lit asked me if Sophie is the only protagonist when Aggie is also one.

Never read the book but I’m so upset this was deleted. Watching it I felt that Agatha’s storyline was cool but it was weighed down by how much of it revolves exclusively around Sophie. All of Aggie’s motivations are Sophie. She mentions leaving her mom (who she seems quite close to and swears can’t be alone) behind for like a second before immediately turning her worries back to Sophie who WANTED to leave. All of her actions lead back to wanting to be with this one girl. So much so that I was half expecting her to drop Teddy like a hot potato and confess to Sophie or something. I feel like her narrative as an independent character would’ve benefited from a scene that shows that her life before this didn’t just make her humble, strong and understanding. It also made her insecure, self-sacrificing and desperate to hold on to one of the only people that ever loved her as she was because she didn’t expect to get it anywhere else because she wasn’t ‘beautiful’. The movie basically uses her to fix everyone else and leaves this girl to battle all of that trauma (and forces her to combat Sophie’s) alone. The story we got feels like Aggie was just over-protective of her friend. When in reality it seems like Sophie had kind of become her whole identity and she never really developed a healthier one by the end of everything. She just gets Sophie back. I hope there’s a second movie because I really liked Aggie’s character but it didn’t feel like they did enough for her. Also fairy godmother put me in my feelings here this is so sweet!

Man, I wish they kept this in - I would’ve loved for my daughter to see this in the film. Yes I can show her the deleted scene now but it would’ve been more impactful within the flow and emotions of the movie. Man! Netflix… bad move EDIT: I see there’s a lot of ppl with the same sentiment… @Netflix is it too late to add it back in? We watch this movie over and over again waiting for the sequel… hopefully you can just squeeze it back in?!? 🥺🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I’m genuinely so shocked this was deleted. This was not only an iconic part of the books but also, an incredible message all around. Sofia’s acting in this is just phenomenal!

WHY DID THEY DELETE THIS FOR FILLERS??? If anything THIS should’ve been kept in with how major character development Agatha had in the book and her having self-confidence of her looks. This was such a pivotal moment in the book where she realized she was beautiful all along and not ugly like people said-she only needed confidence and loving herself. The way this scene was shot is so beautiful and the fact they took this important scene out is sad 😭

WHY DID THEY DELETE THIS THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SCENE IN THE BOOK

I'm ASTOUNDED that they left this scene out. As someone who's never read the books I did think the one major thing this movie was missing was some kind of closure for Aggie's arc, or rather for her to have an arc at all, and I can't believe they had it right here and just didn't include it. Plus it's such a nice genuine moment between her and Dovey, where most of their interactions had been Dovey being really pushy, and this was Dovey actually opening up to her for once.

Okay but Agatha saying "You can make me beautiful? Beautiful enough to be loved" in that breathless hopeful manner, is giving me 😭

They shouldn't delete this scene cause it will brought a great character development and personality for Agatha.

THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT THIS! this is so important to Agatha's moment and change of confidence on herself. i was looking for this moment in the movie cause this moment stuck with me in the book because of how simple yet a turning point for agatha's insecure and then a boost of confidence.

As someone who struggled with an eating disorder and still struggles with body image, this scene made me cry. They should have kept this in, it speaks to so many young girls (and guys) who struggle with the same things. Even if someone is conventionally attractive, you have no idea how they feel about themselves because of society's absurd beauty standards. I wish everyone could learn to love themselves a little more, because beauty comes from within and how we feel about ourselves. <3
