In a big twist, Rumple was supposed to be the Savior who faces off against the woman who became the Black Fairy. Were you shocked? What does this mean for Rumple’s entire character arc over six years? And will Rumple die or has that fate been subverted after the shears were used on him?
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m still trying to process that little piece of information. So he was supposed to be brave and save a lot of people and the his mummy used the shears on him he’s a coward and a Dark One?
As for his fate (Death) being severed – it kind of sounded like that part didn’t change. The only change was that in doing so Black Fairy somehow made herself the person prophesied to kill her son.
Everybody dies so I have no general objection to TV characters dying, but in the case of Rumple I’d like to see him have at least a few years of happiness first. The Charmings may have had a rough few years in Storybrooke, but they always had each other (once the curse was broken anyway). Even Regina has had more happy days then Rumple and she’s buried three boyfriends over the course of the show (granted she heart controlled and murdered Graham, her mother killed Daniel and Robin died shielding her from Hades, yet he wasn’t somehow heroic enough to be Zeus’d back to life… ok maybe she hasn’t been that happy, but at least she had chances. I know I know Rumple had chances too, but the flipity flopping never made sense to me so I ignore it sometimes.) it’s frustrating that Zelena of all people is probably going to get a happy ending with her daughter and Rumple will probably die yet again for a son.
I was not shocked. After all Rumple was a savior when he sacrificed his life to defeat pan and save the town. I was very concerned about whether he will die in the end. I am with bibliophile and feel that us Rumbelle fans need some kind of happy ending that does not involve Rumple dying to save his son and Belle again (I actually think that would be really lazy writing and ridiculous to do lazy writing at the end of the series). I think it is interesting that he was prophesied to wield great light magic which makes me believe that he still is the one to wield light magic as the dark one like Merlin spoke of. As for his character arc over the last 6 years, I don’t think it makes a difference. I have never really seen Rumple as a coward, I think he is a man who looks at all his options and chooses the best one to protect himself and his family at the time. Has he done some cowardly things, YES but so has everyone else in the show and in life. Has he done so incredibly brave things, YES and has everyone in the show and in life. I think this should effect Rumple’s self thoughts though. Rumple has always hated himself and thought of himself as a coward now he has a reason to think this, which I think could do more harm than good.
