Well, we're not really given any indication that Maleficent's magic can alter the space-time continuum at will (unless there was something in that new Maleficent movie that I missed). But it's fair enough reasoning there; as we see from that Black Hole scene where Maximilian's chasing VINCent, Max is capable of flying at a fairly swift pace when he wants to. Maleficent has been known to teleport on occasion, but Maximilian might just overtake her in a foot chase if she doesn't have the time or the composure to bamf out of there.

But don't mind me; I'm just here to toss random points about the deathmatch around. I'm not lame enough to vote on my own deathmatches. ;)

(Also, as an aside, there's a remake of The Black Hole in the works. And they'd better not screw Max up, daggit.)

The alteration wasn't really at will so much as an overload from having to zap so many riflemen at once:P
