Both shows have killed off main characters but have we really ever been allowed to grieve much for anyone on OUAT? We got what, one episode to grieve Graham, no episodes to grieve or process when the bad guys die (which makes sense although we did see some of Regina’s reactions to losing her mom), minor characters are only mentioned when it’s necessary for PLOT, and we barely got two minutes to say goodbye to Neal, a freaking main character who’s been around in some way, shape or form, since season one (grrrr….). They also have brought too many people back to life in various ways which cheapens death and gives false hope to people who think another character might be coming back someday (RIP Neal…the writers will never bring you back no matter how hard we hope). They seem too focused on moving to the next toy out of the box rather than dealing with human emotions when bad things happen and that’s making the show feel unreal and heartless. You brought these characters into the real world and yet they don’t seem interested in actually having them REACT to real world things.
Wonderfully said!!!!! This is exactly the big problem with ONCE
