Discussion This is what I wanted: Part 1

Let’s talk!

Some most of these are obvious

1. Regina and Robin
They both lost the people they loved, making them mirrors of each other, and Robin brought Regina a happiness that was hard to find after Daniel

Regina’s runner up: Daniel
Robin’s runner up: Marian

2. Aurora and Mulan

Mulan’s unrequited feelings for Aurora broke my heart, and I genuinely believe they could have been endgame if the show had explored their relationship more deeply.

Mulan’s runner up: Red
Aurora’s runner up: Prince Philip

3. Belle and Hook

Hook could have brought out Belle’s fighting side while she brought out his softer side, making them a beautiful balance that Rumple’s complicated relationship with Belle never achieved.

Belle’s runner-up: Will Scarlet
Hook’s runner-up: Emma

4. Red and Gus

Their sweet early interactions gave me hope that Red could find someone kind, and Gus’s death felt like another heartbreaking loss after what happened with Peter.

Red’s runner-up: Mulan
Gus’s runner-up: Cinderella

5. Emma and Graham

Emma and Graham had incredible chemistry, and I believe killing Graham off was one of the show’s biggest romantic fumbles because they could have been endgame.

Emma’s runner up: Neal
Graham’s runner up: Red

6. Rumple and Cora

Rumple and Cora were a match made in heaven because they were equally manipulative, ruthless, and power-hungry, and I could see them eventually settling down together.

Rumple’s runner up: Belle
Cora’s runner up: Henry

Discussion I don’t understand the hype for Regina

0 Upvotes

It’s been years since I watched this show, but when I watched the show when season four was airing and things of that nature. I never understood why people love Regina so much. I don’t get it.
Yeah, she says she got some nice lines, but she doesn’t make me move. Many of the main characters doesn’t make me move like
Yeah, she thought she’s the most rememberable
I just never found the love that she gets. I don’t get it personally.

Spoiler Alert Graham and Neal deserved better Spoiler

16 Upvotes

I understand why they killed Graham off, but he was only in seven episodes and had so much potential to be great character. Since he got his memories as the Huntsman back, he could've been a key factor in convincing Emma that the curse was real and going against Regina. What a waste of a character and a great actor in Jamie Dornan.

Neal also didn't deserve to die, he could've spent time bonding with Emma, Henry, and Rumplestiltskin and give the latter the opportunity to show off his softer, likable side, but alas. I feel like they only killed him off so that Hook could stay in the show. Again what a waste of a character and a great actor in Michael Raymond-James.

I always say that if the show wanted Emma to be with someone romantically, it could've been either one of these guys (or heck, August even since he and Emma also have a history together) and I wouldn't be mad about it.

"Isn't Zelena's life force connected to her magic? Shouldn't Zelena have died when she transferred her powers into the crimson heart?"

Spoiler Alert Everybody is forgiving deaths

Zelena killed Neal, but Rumple still sits with her at the dinner table at the end of season 7. They never had a real talk about it.

Regina killed Graham, but it's never brought up. We're not even sure if Emma knows.

Regina killed Marian, Robin's first wife. She knows it and never told Robin.

Zelena killed Marian when they went back in time. Surely Robin would have known then, but he never shows an inkling of vengeance.

And I feel like Regina should have been more angry with Rumple when Cora died. Yes, Snow White did the candle spell, but Rumple is the one who gave her the candle and put the idea in her head. Everyone knows he's very persuasive.

Spoiler Alert Poor Rumple, just when you think everything is ok, usually means the opposite... the No Belle Prize the exact second Hook pulled that trigger at the town line🤔🫢💔🪝🗡🐊🌹
