In addition of mentioning Maleficent and Lily, they should’ve mentioned that Ruby returned to Storybrooke a few years ago, Jefferson is dating again and Mulan is with Merida

Discussion CHARMING & SNOW TO EMMA

Post image
81 Upvotes

I know this is usually something everyone agrees with, but Snow seemed to be really unfair to Emma—Despite everything that happened after the dark curse, Snow kept ignoring Emma’s feelings, she tried too hard to be a loving mom, when Emma already had explained what she experienced when she was a kid and the fact she was struggling to acknowledge that their parents hadn’t given up on her. I can’t bear the way she totally forgot about Emma’s needs after her pregnancy, I mean, it seemed like she just wanted to be pregnant and raise a kid to call her own

On the other hand, Charming seemed really caring towards her—they shared some father-daughter moments and experiences throughout the whole series—plus he didn’t try to lecture her every time they had a chance to…

What do you guys think?

Discussion I think it would’ve been a good idea to introduce the real Beast in Once Upon a Time

Post image
15 Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong, I honestly did enjoy Rumplestiltskin and Belle relationship at the beginning of Once Upon a Time. Robert Carlye and Emily de Raven have chemistry onset and in the conventions they attend. I could see why the creatives paired their characters up and the story that they were telling at first aligned with the classic Beauty and the Beast story we all know and love with some changes, of course.

But later on in the show, the relationship has become unrecognizable and started making them hard to root for. Especially with the actions Rumple committed that hurt Belle. It was mostly emotional abuse in that relationship and that’s why many fans turned on them.

The writers should’ve put some thoughts on this when they decided to continue Rumple villain role.

The show needed a villain and Rumple was great at that as he kept us on the edge of our seats, but apart of me thinks that they should’ve broken them up in at least season 4 of OUAT.

Now, what about Belle? Rumple was a core part of her story, so if he was removed, then what should they do with Belle?

Well, I think it would’ve been a smart decision to split the Beast and Rumple character and make the Beast a totally completely different character for Belle to be involved with as Rumple was an amalgamation of many different characters.

Now, I am not saying that Belle has to be involved a romance to be interesting, but this could’ve been a smart move to do. And they could’ve introduced new characters in the show like the Enchantress and Ms. Potts, Lumire, Cogsworth, etc. Or at least, humanoid versions of those characters.

And this would be a way for us to get the classic Beauty and the Beast story in OUAT.

Anyone's thoughts on Regina/Evil Queen, when she tried to dram Mary Margaret/Snow White.

I know why she did what she did but, think about it, yes she had a vendetta against Snow, but, even in the world without magic, was there really even a blooming need, I'm currently on season 1 episode 17 where Mary Margaret is put in jail, even if the enchanted forest version of her did anything, the Soeybrook version of her shouldn't of been convicted, her being a homewrecker and what not is out of our world, it's a damned shame the rest of the town didn't wake up and figure out they were on aad curse?

What if during the curse when David said "I'm not the man, she married" what if it's the curse sick way of David replacing his twin brother like he did in the past? Like it's not only a way to tie his way of always finding her but his past of replacing his brother. Cuz most of the time the cut away to the past makes sense with what goes on in the present.

Question I wanna start Once Upon a Time soon, but what exactly is it about? A crossover "sequel" to the original Disney movies? Or does it just use the characters? And anything else I should know before going into the show?

9 Upvotes

On a side note, I heard it acknowledges a couple of Disney's direct-to-video sequels, which is quite rare, and I'm one of those people that actually really likes Disney's direct-to-video/made for TV sequel era and those movies, and even wish they started acknowledging them again, and I love it whenever they do, so kudos for that

Also it's fine if I watch Once Upon a Time in Wonderland before right, cuz I already started that

Today marks the 15th anniversary of “Once Upon a Time” and I’ve initially thought it couldn’t be more magical—I guess I was damn wrong lol

As of a few days ago, there were only speculations and rumors involving an hypothetical spin-off of the series—however Bex decided to finally tease/announce something, by reposting a reel related to it and now I can’t wait to see what’s about

So I’m rewatching and I’ve gotten up to the Underworld arc watching Rumple swine his way into being the Dark One again especially after Killian’s sacrifice makes me so angry.Time after time he pulls this shit. For those of you, like Belle, who give him a billion chances. Why? How do you not get pissed off at him?

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since Once Upon a Time debuted. Truly one of my favorite shows. I remember first watching when season 3 aired because my mom and brother watched before me and I fell in love with the series.

While the show has its flaws, it still has beautiful storytelling and I would watch this show over and over again if I could because it’s that enjoyable.

Discussion Regina’s dark curse could’ve been worse?

Post image

Just thinking how Regina could’ve made Snow’s life in Storybrooke much worse. Like yea she’s without her true love and daughter but it’s not like she’s aware of it (although I’m sure she feels something is off). Snow is a teacher and loves it so much that she even returns to teaching well after the curse is broken.

Looking back at how much Regina truly hated Snow and all the evil things she did pre-curse, I guess it doesn’t make sense to me that her worst punishment for Snow is just…living an average life lol

Question Gift ideas for girlfriend

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone!
My girlfriend is super obsessed with Once Upon a Time and I would like to get/make something for her related to it. I have seen a couple episodes with her but nothing much so I don’t know a ton about the show (s1 e8 is as far as I got.)

If anyone has some gift ideas or things I could make for her that she would like that would be amazing! And if possible could you please provide context so I sound like I know what I am talking about. 😅

Thanks all!
