What Snowing Did

[RumplesGirl]

Snowing stole an egg, filled it with Darkness and then “lost” it.

I am pretty disappointed in the “big heroes”

Anyone else? Other reactions?

My dislike for the Charmings have sunken to a whole new low…thank goodness Emma got her brains from somewhere else, because the Charmings….I truly felt bad for Mal! This…those Charmings…I can’t with them.

Snow White cost Regina her first love “Daniel”, and twenty years later cost Mal her only child “Lily”…..watch out for Snow, she’s known for ruining your happy ending for her own!

I couldn’t help seeing the parallels to the candle she killed Cora with.

Anything out-of-character is Walt’s fault. ‘Course, we don’t know which set of behaviours is the rewrite.

There’s a slow reveal of aspects of a character over the course of a show that feels like an organic way of peeling back layers of who they are.

Then there’s inventing new things on the fly and trying to make them make sense with what we’ve seen of them before, but it really just feels like a hastily conceived retcon.

This feels like the latter.

Having thought more about this:

I think it comes down to the fact that there was no nobility in what Snowing did. There is no reason to remove all the darkness from a child because that’s not how people function. You don’t remove darkness and then suddenly be immune to it. It’s about choices, influences, and how you are raised. I honestly expected Snowing to know that. But at no point did Snow say that she could steer her child from the dark path because it’s her job. That’s why this is rubbing me the wrong way. ONCE often shows that parents go to extraordinary lengths for their children, but there is a nobility behind it (Rumple becoming the Dark One else his son would die)

I didn’t like how Snowing were totally okay with taking someone else’s child and pouring their child’s potential darkness into it because A) they didn’t think it would be human, and B) because they were going to give it back to the mother.

Snowing only got upset about what they did because Mal’s baby got sent through a portal. They should’ve been upset about the fact they TOOK SOMEONE’S CHILD (whether it is human or not is irrelevant) and experimented with it.

All magic comes with a price!

Yes when Snow said, “it’s not a child. It’s a monster” I was pretty floored. I don’t think it’s in line with her character at all.

I thought the writers making Snow and Charming into child abductors was an all-time low, but then I remember how Snow actually scarified Charming’s heart. I really cry over the character assassination of those two.

So we’re to believe that Snow and Charming of the past did something so horrible and yet it never seemed to impact their consciences until now, when the plot suddenly calls for it? Yeah right.

Right this really bothers me.

Also, why didn’t Mal seek revenge on these two in the months following them stealing the egg? Why was she just chilling in her castle with a pet unicorn?
