What’s the odds of the three musketeers showing up at some point this series?

This is a case where it’s probably better to not “twist” the source material but let it stay true to the original.

I’m conflicted on this. First off, I’ve never read the count of monte cristo so it doesn’t matter either way. However, it just feels like OUAT has lost its edge, and is now just copying characters rather than re-imagining them. On the other side, some characters are best left as is rather than trying to change for the sake of change.

For the love of god, don’t give us any more Annas.

Agree with you, they are simply now copying characters from book written by other people, instead of using the characters they have now and make them have one original story, that was what the show was good at the beginning, but now they dont know how to do it anymore, they dont know how to write original stories, bc simply pick some stories and gives them a twist at some point, is not originality, is simply copying the original and change it a bit and that doesnt make it original and their thing about giving a S1 vibe, is not just bring old and new characters and mix them together and there we have s1 again, that ship is long gone, and i fear even more for these huge classics that will be destroyed by them, i fear that they may also bring Jules verne, they may have more freedom with these stories but that doesnt mean is a good sign, look at the Robin hood and marian story.
