I feel like I said this before, but if Maleficent lost control of the Heartless....
couldn't she legit not go back to her other army at home? I mean as far as I'm concerned, Enchanted Dominion is back from darkness. So, odds are so is her dominion, as well as her army of goons that are legit high in numbers. I mean...she had that opportunity...rather than just relying on a bumbling idiot like Pete. (still love the dude but c'mon.) I mean look how many there are!

And she's (I think) the ones who created them, is she not? So if they're defeated, she could just conjure up more. She lost control of the Heartless, big deal...she HAS an army back at home! But instead of reusing them just like before....
She uses Pete.
