Oh God is ER “Evil Rumple?” Gross. Who the heck likes that?
LOL! No, ER stands for “Evil Regal”! XD As for the Evil Rumple, it’s actually called GoldenQueen, and you’d be surprised by the followers it had on twitter! I personally could not stand the ship, it was just too weird after all the father/daughter like scenes Regina & Rumple had over the seasons.
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.
That’s not quite true…yes CS & Evil Regals are forever at one another’s throats, but fandom wise as a whole, she definetly stands on a higher ground in the fandom than Hook. The rest of the fandom, from Rumbelle, SwanFire, SwanQueen, MyPretties, Casual Viewers, and surprisingly even Snowing are fine with Regina, it’s only CS Fandom’s constant complaint of “her sassy remarks & attitude towards Hook/Emma” that the CS have an issue with Regina for, and therefore anyone who has the slightest negative thing to say about their ship, they would have an issue with.
I think they could build a show around Regina, but not with Zelena there. Their bickering is a low point for the show right now and that would be the problem, in my opinion. They can’t keep just those two villains and expect the show to work. I, also, don’t want Hook on the show. They would have to introduce an entirely new protagonist and i think they have to be female.
Here’s the thing, although Regina is a fan favorite, I don’t think she’s capable of carrying an entire show on her own. I would love to watch one, but I just don’t think it’s possible. The entire series surrounded a core cast, not even Emma is carrying the show on her own. And if Lana sees all her cast mates/friends leaving to do other things, I’m sure she wants to go out and do other things as well. But if Adam & Eddy sat Lana down and gave her the overall synopsis for the final season, she and more than likely Bex may do it, if it’s quality work.
As for what the Season 7 would be, based on the casting call, it’d have an adult lead who we all think is Henry. And if Henry’s lost his way, I think Regina’s happy ending would ultimately end up being, making sure that her son gets his.
