I know people don’t want to admit anything but Regina is very much a divisive character in the fandom especially after all the focus she’s had this season. Which has not been well written whatsoever. She’s as much loved as she is hated, especially going by Adam’s mentions and things on Twitter. Her and Hook are this way and have been for a while now.
I actually completely disagree. I think Regina is one of the most non divisive characters. I am a huge Rumple fan and yet I also like Regina. I am not a ER fan and I just think Regina’s story has not been told and she most certainly is no where close to getting her happy ending. I think her story has more to do with family (Henry, Snow, and even co parenting with Emma) instead of a love interest which makes her much more relatable and likable.
