I know I’m going to get flack for saying this, but I’m not so sure Neal *would* be appalled at what Rumple did. Honestly, I think he’d be more upset at Rumple for lying than for killing Zelena. This is not some guy who accidentally nicked him with his cart. This is a women who threatened the lives of everyone Neal loved. No one was opposed to Rumple killing Pan- even Belle stood there and watched as he was about to do it. (I’m talking about when they had the Henry Pan, not the end when everyone was frozen in place.) I think some of you paint Neal as this patron saint when he’s not. Deep down, he is his father’s son. If Henry had been killed, Neal might not be so quick to allow the murderer to live either.
I agree. Everyone was happy to kill Pan when they thought he was a threat to Henry. They took him over the town line so he would be powerless and Emma planned to shoot him in the head. I bet if the heart of the truest believer had belonged to anyone else other than Henry who wasn’t in the CharmingMillsStiltskin family circle, the heroes wouldn’t have even intervened, Pan would’ve succeeded in living forever and everybody would’ve just gone about their daily business.
I don’t even see killing Zelena as selfish. He shouldn’t have done it behind everyone’s back after it was agreed to let her live, but he did it because she caused the death of his son.
It wasn’t agreed to let her live. Regina alone decided to let her live. Regina really annoyed me in the Kansas episode just because of her hypocrisy. You know had it been Henry that died because of Zelena, Regina would’ve wasted no time in killing her. There should’ve been a trial but their wasn’t. There’s a reason why victims and the families of the perpetrators aren’t allowed to be on a jury at their trial.
