Going through a tad bit of new activity withdrawal so these vids and pics help 🙂 Thank you!
Still hoping the introduction of Elsa isn’t a stumbling block. I know kids are wildly thrilled with Frozen and Elsa but I also think that come fall, those kids won’t be a factor to the show regarding ratings. I hope so anyway. Though kids today are quite used to all kind of violence, we really don’t need the story telling skewed to a younger group.
One of the pluses has been A&E’s ability to make OUAT a good blend of adult wit, snark and appeal while still attracting a mature but old fashioned child-like magic believing audience. The Disney influence has helped keep down the gore factor (thank you very much!) so that more emphasis is placed on dialogue and emoting abilities of the cast. The relationships have been PG though still titilating because of the talent of the actors and snippets of sexuality/innuendo allowed. Heavy on the angst while avoiding the stagnant, plodding,brain dead nothingness of soap opera drudgery, the speed of the plot lines keeps things lively. All these things are what keeps the show special inspite of desperate rants of OOC and “it’s a PLOT DEVICE”. I would hate to see that change because they have to keep Elsa Disney-sweet to appease G rated controls.
The Dark One and the villain mentality save the show from being flatline corney, sugar coated dreck.
Without a clear cut villain yet it MAY go down a very different path away from the established attitude.
I guess I just really want Elsa to be bipolar, edgy wicked and not just “misunderstood” . I don’t want the craziness that is OUAT dictated by a Fru Fru Disney cartoon.
it is soooo out of my control!!! Ackkkk. Heh.
