Is Prince Philip dead?

[hannah97]

Prince Phillip can’t be dead. Mulan and Aurora need to go on a quest to get his soul back, because I refuse to believe that he is just gone that fast.

At the end of the epp Mulan and Aurora blamed MM and Emma for bringing the Wrathe there which leads to philip’s “death.” Perhaps in the next epps, they’re going to have to help get his soul back to get back to stroybrook. The promos did show MM, Emma, and Mulan (was Aurora there too?) so so maybe they go on that quest together

I don’t think Philip is dead. This brings an underworld into play. I wonder if someone can look at the picture of the doors and see if there is one that looks like it leads to an underworld. Some how some way Jefferson is coming back.

I don’t think Phillip is dead either. Adam and Eddy hinted his soul was retrievable and that they didn't see him die. This is all sounding very reminiscent of the Disney cartoon Hercules when he went to the underworld to save Meg’s soul, and he became an immortal because of his heroics. Could we meet Hercules, since we’ve seen Greek mythology already? I don’t mean this as a “serious” theory, but still fun to speculate. 🙂

If I recall correctly, the entrance/door to Hades was basically the mouth of a cavernous cave.
If you follow Greek myth though, there are various different locations that make up the ‘underworld’ as charming calls it.

Technically much like in Dante’s ‘The Inferno’ the ‘underworld’ ( re: Hades ) has different layers.
For instance, Tartarus which is located beneath Hades as a separate realm; kind of like the nine realms of Hell described in the aforementioned text/book.

So if Mulan & Company were to have to travel to the ‘underground’ – they’d need to start at the entrance to the Asphodel Meadows.

I don’t think he’s dead either- if you can hear the souls the wraith has taken/stolen howling/moaning then they are somewhere, it’s just the problem of how do you find & get the soul back in the body, before the body ages & dies. At least that’s how I see it anyway 😉

Yes, I don’t think he’s dead either. I had another idea about how to possibly get back the lost souls, but using Hercules or rather just incorporating a similar story like the movie makes sense because of the Disney connection. Plus, I could see 3 of the new characters (Aurora, Mulan, or Lancelot) deciding to make some kind of sacrifice by staying in Hades while the others get out if it came down to that. Not that it will come down to that, but it does seem like at least one of them will sacrifice themselves since that seems to be part of the theme being set up this year.

My idea in my Bae-obsessed brain though was that somehow he is connected in helping destroy the Wraiths because his name means great or fatal fire, and that’s what was used to attack them. Of course, his storyline doesn’t have anything to do with that particular storyline at least not yet.

If I remember correctly, when Mr. Gold threatened Regina, he described the wraith as worse than death. So, I don’t think Philip is dead.

They can go in 2 directions here; 1 the Mulan route, 2 the Sleeping beauty route. I do not think he is any more dead than Aurora or Snow was. His soul is probably in Hades. That can connect Midas and some of the Greek Myths if they choose to take that road. I think they are focusing on Mulan because i’m not an Aurora fan. She is a pain in the “you know what”.
