Red Queen talking to Bunny. That’s the only time I really feel her menace. She still comes off like a little girl playing dress up to me, but at least at the end when she kept the bottle, she sort of showed some bite.
Alice and Cyrus ‘s paper bird, falling in love scenes.
Dislike:
The Silvermist fairy. I didn’t like the whole jealous fairy gets angry at the Knave because they used a namecheck for a Disney Fairy that I felt was not a good fit for the character in an “echo the original” sort of way. Now these Disney canon characters aren’t as well known as the classic Peter Pan story characters, so a lot of people probably just felt it’s a random generic fairy sort of name. I felt they did try to make her look like a water fairy with the dew drops on the lashes and things. It’s just they didn’t get enough of the character’s flavor for me.
Disney Fairies Wiki:
Silvermist (also known as “Sil” to her friends) is a water-talent fairy with an East Asian appearance with fair skin, brown eyes, and black hair. She is delightfully offbeat and has an upbeat way of looking at everything.
The personality traits listed are friendly, calm, absentminded, quiet, gentle,silly
I mean I suppose those traits might fit with her getting involved with the Knave, then him hurting her emotionally to the point she’d drop him in a lake knowing he couldn’t swim, because it is ONCE:WL and the characters do things they’d never do in their original versions. I just think they could have picked a different character to make more sense personality wise.
I agree also that the episode fell flat in some ways for me. I want to like this show, and I’ll hang out some hope that Jafar has an interesting agenda.
