A lot of people think killing PP brings about the new Curse Lisa, you’re not really that far off from what most people think. However, I think still that the FTL shots are AU based on what I wrote about clothing in the last filming thread:
At this point I am really starting to think that it’s an AU. The costumes are almost identical to the ones the fairy tale characters wear EXCEPT that they are somehow slightly off.
So Belle’s purple dress is very close to her blue dress, but the color is further down the color wheel.
Charming’s outfit is very Prince Charming, but is somehow richer and more stately.
Snow’s outfit is very Snow White, but it almost seems a more creamy instead of stark white, which is what she wore in the pilot.
Neal obviously is the biggest change, from real world to FTL clothing but that makes sense as Neal spent most of his adult life in our world. So his clothing has to be a radical shift as he has spent almost NO time in FTL as an adult. But you’ll notice that there are elements of Nealfire, like scarves.
Aurora’s dress is no longer purple, but has moved down the color wheel and is now white, almost as if she’s more virginal and innocent.
Regina’s is dressed head to toe in her EQ dress, as if none of her Redemption as occurred at all.
Now what about Hook? Well Hook is dressed exactly like he is NYC. As if in no matter universe, he’d still be a pirate (no judgements! Observations only) (Also, the crest on the horse he’s riding as the same colors as King George’s crest if I’m not mistaken)
So in sum: I think we’re looking at an AU “what if” situation.
