That sounds interesting. But then Isaac wouldn’t get his happy ending, since villains don’t get happy endings, even in the AU. Right? Or maybe I’m wrong.
That could be, but does Isaac know that? Honestly, though, I think Isaac’s in it for something else. He’s literally an author who gets to talk with his characters, and change their stories with their input. But I think what Isaac is interested in is external recognition, rather than being in the story he’s writing. Could be wrong of course, but those shots of “New York Ledger Best Seller” are suggestive of yet another layer to things.
In fact, I wonder if they’ll do it hyper-meta, and have the AU go sour as a result of external pressures on the writer. Or Isaac deciding that this AU also doesn’t make for a good story.
From the finale photos, Robin Hood is dressed as a prince (as opposed to a prince a thieves), and is about to marry Zelena. I wonder if Robin Hood is a rogue prince, like Prince James was. Also, based on the photos, I’m guessing Robin isn’t too happy about marrying Zelena. Maybe it’s an arranged marriage.
Sort of like Charming and Abigail in S1? I think that’s very plausible. Regular Robin is a kind of a classic “Chaotic Good” character, which makes me think that his inverse would be closer to the “Lawful Evil” end of the spectrum.

Yeah, I think Isaac just wants fame and recognition for writing such a “great” story. A couple of episodes back, he said he just wanted to tell a better story, (something which is totally in the eye of the beholder). He wants to be cast as a great author.

Now that’d be interesting! Maybe the writers of the show feel their own story has gotten sour, or at least stale?

It was in the 20 sec version of the promo that the official OUAT Twitter tweeted.

I’m guessing the show title card for the finale might actually say “Heroes and Villains.”
May 6, 2015 at 10:40 pm #304085KebParticipantI’m….actually getting a kick out that being the title they’re running with right now. Of course, that was also the title of the 4A finale ep…
But still, I think it’s funny, the same way one or two other shows I know have changed up the beginning to reflect a special show.

May 7, 2015 at 12:19 am #304090TheWatcherParticipantOnce Upon A Time is the name of Henry’s book and title of the show.
The Book has now changed. So now so has the title 😛 I can dig it

Part of me wonders if the writers wished they had saved the title “Heroes and Villains” for the Season finale, rather than using it for the Mid-Season finale? Though they might have intentionally used the title as foreshadowing for the Season’s endgame. Even though they didn’t write the full script for the finale til months later, they already had an outline for the entire Season.

Well dies being the Dark One automatically make one a villain? And even so, Isaac still has the quill and the ability to alter the story so maybe ike Rumpel, he’d try to have his cake (all the powers of the dark one) and eat it too (having a happy ending).
