I’m not sure if anyone noticed this, but I think the writers may have given a little nod to the Lion from the Wizard Of Oz when Belle told Rumple “You don’t need power, Rumple. You need courage to let me in.”
Could we be adding another character onto Rumple’s list?
He is already the Dark One/Rumplestiltskin (obviously), as well as the Beast (Beauty and the Beast) and the Crocodile (Peter Pan).[adrotate group="5"]Don’t forget he was Cinderella’s fairy godmother. 😆
The thought has crossed my mind once or twice since they’re always hammering home the fact that Rumple lacks courage, but I just can’t see how it could fit at all.
Keeper of Rumplestiltskin's and Neal's spears and war paint and crystal ball.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he would be another character, who stand for the cowardly inside of him, but i am not convinced that it ill be the lion of OZ., because if he were. He would have the ruby slippers and wouldn’t need the curse to get to the land without magic. They still doesn’t give us the whole story what happen to his ogre war story, where he run. I mean we suggest that he is limp because he fought there, but maybe he got his leg after he return or during his way home.
I search for another fairy tale that contents of a coward in a fight or hurt leg, but I don’t find something that could fit.Heros don't get their Happy Ending!
I still don’t find something about a fairy tale of a war, but I find something others.
The coward from Alamo “Moses Rose”Rose in the legend of the Alamo:
The traditional account of the battle includes the following description of Rose’s actions.
In March 1836, the Alamo was surrounded by the Mexican Army, which raised a “no quarter” flag, promising death to all defenders. Travis, the Texan commander, drew a line in the sand with his sword. He asked the defenders to cross over it, and thereby pledge to fight (and presumably die) in the Alamo. All did, except Rose.
Rose fled the Alamo the night of March 5, evading Mexican forces, and made his way to Grimes County, where he found rest and shelter at the home of one William P. Zuber. Rose made no attempt at hiding the true story of his journey, attributing his decision to a love for his family (including his children) and desire to fight another day rather than face a slaughter like those he had seen in previous failed battles. But Rose did not fight another day, but instead merely faded away from the revolution, eventually settling in Logansport, Louisiana.
Some historians have said that the story of the line in the sand was first told by Rose himself. Whether there ever was an actual line drawn in the sand is disputed, but the evidence does suggest that all Alamo defenders were at one point given a choice to stay or to go.Rose’s reputation as a coward remained with him for the rest of his lifetime, and continues up to the present day. To those who accept the popular account, it matters little what Rose’s motives were; more important is the fact that he left, by choice.
According to legend, when asked many years later why he did not cross the line and remain, he replied simply, “By God, I wasn’t going to die!” This alleged statement did not help his reputation, especially in Texas.[7]But this is a real person so it doesn’t fit either.
Heros don't get their Happy Ending!
In the Rumplestiltskin tales dating back to the late 1800’s, there are several different endings…..
One being that, when the miller’s daughter guessed Rumplestiltskin’s name, he became so irate, that he slammed his foot so hard into the ground that a huge chasm opened up. Rumplestiltskin fell through the chasm, never to be seen again.
Reminiscent of Bae falling through the vortex.
I only now the ending that he get so in range that he explode and disapeared or that he slice himself into two pieces.
Heros don't get their Happy Ending!
Gypsy what are you thinking. Could he be the coward lion or will there be a link to another story or not?
Heros don't get their Happy Ending!
I saw your posts about Rumple’s injured leg and that you were trying to link that to another story.
Was just pointing out the fact that he has a limp in OUAT could just be a nod to one of the older versions of the Rumplestiltskin tale.
As far as Rumple being the Lion from Oz, idk.
They do often refer to his cowardice, and would need a way to tie Oz into the story, so it is possible.
