Maybe Isaac writes himself as the new Dark One. He’s been dependent on others to protect him, but as the new Dark One, he could protect himself.
That sounds interesting. But then Isaac wouldn’t get his happy ending, since villains don’t get happy endings, even in the AU. Right? Or maybe I’m wrong.
I’m inclined to think it’s Isaac’s decision. If Rumple is calling all the shots about who the villains and heroes are, then the “cast” makes only limited sense. Rumple doesn’t technically have much of a bone to pick with the Charmings. By contrast, Zelena is a different matter altogether, so why on Earth would she have an apparent happy ending with Robin? Speaking of which, what is Robin — a villain or a good guy?
From the finale photos, Robin Hood is dressed as a prince (as opposed to a prince a thieves), and is about to marry Zelena. I wonder if Robin Hood is a rogue prince, like Prince James was. Also, based on the photos, I’m guessing Robin isn’t too happy about marrying Zelena. Maybe it’s an arranged marriage.
