Reply To: Emma + Baelfire = Swanfire

I don’t buy into Neal’s death being a realistic portrayal of our world, nor more than I believe it was bold story telling  (come on kill the supposedly least popular third of a love triangle and least popular character in the fandom is a bold story choice, in the words of Emma Swan, Seriously)

Nor do I think  it represent the dark side of fairy tales  which is another one I hear often. I’m no expert nor do I pretend to be but i know my  classic fairy tales . Yes they were dark, particularly the Brother Grimm series, and bloody, but in the end they good guys/gals overcome the hardship/suffering to win in the end while the villains are punish in the worst way possible.
