I think if they killed Rumple, it would basically be spitting in the faces of RumBelle fans, especially as RumBelle don’t get any considerable happy screen time together- they’re either fighting or one of them is off-screen or asleep.
yeah but the writers don’t care if it’s unfair to the Rumbelle fans. They’ll say that Rumple died a hero, sacrificing himself to save his family and fulfilling the destiny that should have been his. They’ll say that Rumple freed his son from the clutches of the Black Fairy and that now Belle and Gideon have a chance at a life together because of Rumple.
I agree with both of you unfortunately.
I agree that it would be unfair (and cruel) to Rumbelle fans to kill him off after the horrible few seasons that we’ve sat through with all the (often nonsensical) fighting.
But I also believe that Adam and Eddy absolutely would kill him off and act like that was a ‘happy ending’ for him and for Belle and Gideon. …I just don’t agree with that at all!
