Really, the only reason why I don’t want August to be Pinocchio is the little boy is such a lame Disney character. And I know there’s some die heart Pinocchio fans, but compare Pinocchio to Prince Charming, Rumpelstiltskin and other grown up guys, the wooden boy is just not cool. Being the son of Rumpel is way, way cooler than being a puppet/real boy.
I agree.
Pinocchio is still a cute story, but looking at story as a whole, I don’t see how that moves the plot along.
Pinocchio is a cute story, but I’d much rather August be someone more…like the rest of you have said, cooler. I think that’s why some of us have latched onto the Baelfire, Peter Pan and Wizard of Oz theories. Just anyone but that wooden puppet! 😆
Pinocchio is a bit of an idiot too in the cartoon version. And i know he is supposed to be a child, but yeah like everyone said he is not the most interesting of characters.
I’ve never been a huge fan either of the Disney cartoon version of Pinocchio, but that’s not grounds to disqualify the character. Knowing how OUAT takes traditional fairy-tale characters and adds some extra spice to them, I think that there is a good chance they could do some cool things with grown-up Pinocchio. If the writers can transform a little damsel in distress like Snow into a fire-cracker princess, surely then can transform a former puppet into a fighting hero.

That is a good point slurpeez. Snow White is pretty silly in the disney version as well so they could do more with Pinocchio. I think it doesn’t help that we have seen little Pinocchio in passing and think of that child from the Pilot. And if August is Pinocchio i think they could do something good with the character.

Exactly! If he’s Pinocchio, the writers have taken the character everyone already knew of a puppet boy and have built him a whole new life beyond that, so you can’t really judge this new version of Pinocchio based on the old version IMO.
Oh, come on guys, if August admits he is pinocchio, you’re going to think of that funny blue hat and those small overalls.
Of course it’ll bring to mind how the character appeared as a child, but how is that supposed to have a detrimental effect, or ANY effect, on the adult version of the character in our world? When I look at Mr Gold, I don’t imagine him dressed like the rockstar pimp he was in FTL, I just appreciate his dapper, Storybrooke style.
