That sounds interesting. But then Isaac wouldn’t get his happy ending, since villains don’t get happy endings, even in the AU. Right? Or maybe I’m wrong.
That could be, but does Isaac know that? Honestly, though, I think Isaac’s in it for something else. He’s literally an author who gets to talk with his characters, and change their stories with their input. But I think what Isaac is interested in is external recognition, rather than being in the story he’s writing. Could be wrong of course, but those shots of “New York Ledger Best Seller” are suggestive of yet another layer to things.
In fact, I wonder if they’ll do it hyper-meta, and have the AU go sour as a result of external pressures on the writer. Or Isaac deciding that this AU also doesn’t make for a good story.
From the finale photos, Robin Hood is dressed as a prince (as opposed to a prince a thieves), and is about to marry Zelena. I wonder if Robin Hood is a rogue prince, like Prince James was. Also, based on the photos, I’m guessing Robin isn’t too happy about marrying Zelena. Maybe it’s an arranged marriage.
Sort of like Charming and Abigail in S1? I think that’s very plausible. Regular Robin is a kind of a classic “Chaotic Good” character, which makes me think that his inverse would be closer to the “Lawful Evil” end of the spectrum.
