Ok….OutlawQueen was prophesied long time ago…..Fate had plans to unite Robin with Regina a long time ago! The prophecy more than likely still stands….and prophecy is worked by fate. Fate moved Marian out of the picture, it’s got some type of sense of humor, but still it was Marian’s fate to die! Emma changed it, thus TAMPERING with fate! Whether she saved a life or not, it was Marian’s fate to die! Emma took it upon herself to intervene, and screw with fate by stopping the process!
Had Emma not saved Marian….everybody, by Core Cast means, would be happy! There would be no worries! Emma has set in place a series of unfortunate events…and more than likely…Fate is gonna wanna play Final Destination with Marian’s life, a la Ice Monster choosing to squash her first instead of anyone else! Regina intervened that time, unknowingly stopping what could have been Fate righting Emma’s wrong. But that’s not the person she is anymore…she’s not the Evil Queen…she’s Regina, A mother/step-grandmother/Mayor/Queen….
According to Adam and Eddy: Roland barely knows his mother. Does it make it right…no…but it is what it is.
Doesn’t matter. At all. Children who grow up having lost one parent feel it deeply. They wonder about what that missing parent was like and how they would get along, ect. And Roland knows Marian NOW. He was in her arms, he hugged her, he called her Momma. It doesn’t matter one single bit how long Roland has known her.
2. I suspect they are going to be more creative in how they dish out happy endings than most of the fan conversations seem to imply. Remember, we’ve been told repeatedly, “Your happy ending may not be what you think it will be.” This avoids the problem of what seem to be mutually exclusive happy endings, e.g. Marion vs Regina. One of them doesn’t have to “lose” in order for the other to “win”. It’s quite possible that Marion or Regina or both could find a happy ending without Robin.
Given that Sean wasn’t made a regular cast member I am becoming quite suspicious that Regina’s HEA involves Robin at all. It really might just be a full heart and Henry.
She was clearly tempted to fall back into her old habits but managed to resist in the end and save Marion. I think her story remains interesting so long as she continues to take two steps forward and one step back, which provides a mechanism to study her character.
Agreed but Regina still thinks she can force a HEA and you…can’t. You can’t cheat fate by finding someone to write you a HEA.
4. I don’t think Emma is at fault in any way. She saved an innocent woman’s life! That’s a good thing. Period.
Agreed 100000000%
1. Fate is a cruel, twisted, but logical thing….Roland was being raised A-Okay by Robin alone….
2. If that’s the case then we can say the same about Rumple…his redemption could have just been sacrificing his life to defeat Pan, thus dying a hero who was redeemed. But that’s not the case, they brought him back, Rumbelle got wedding. I think that would be very unfair for Rumple (whose influence introduced darkness into the Mills Women lives, and also manipulated someone into killing one, and killed the other himself) has a happy ending with true love, and Regina who already lost her true love twice, be denied the same HEA.
And also…Outlaw Queen is prophesied to happen…Fate working hard to ensure that. Then OQ are soulmates, something Regina has over Marian, so that connection between Robin and Regina is probably higher than it ever was with Daniel and Marian.
3 And 4. Ok….did Emma not cheat Fate out of Marian’s death? I think she did….it’s Emma’s fault! Saving a life, and screwing with time…those came with heavy prices that Regina had to pay for Emma’s stupidity. Had Emma left well enough alone….NONE of this would even be happening!!!! If you went back in time, and Hook told you not to screw with anything, and Rumple told you not to screw with anything….WHY would you still screw with anything?
Emma made a very stupid decision that was somewhat OOC because S1 Emma would never tamper with Fate!
Regina is just righting Emma’s wrong!
