Since the end of season one, we knew that Regina truly loved Henry and by the end of season two, Henry truly loved her back too. So, I think a kiss between them was inevitable
Well yes, I agree. But that’s not really what I’m questioning, I guess.
We SAW Rumple make Emma the Savior. We saw how he had to do it for the original Curse. We never see anyhting on screen that they did to the Curse in FTL that would allow Regina to break the curse.
1) The Scroll was destroyed so they couldn’t put true love on it
2) If they had put true love on the scroll, it would have been Emma to break the curse with Henry.
I love that Regina did it, but there is no internal in show reason for it.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"True Love’s kiss can break any curse.
Also when I think about it, Rumple made it specifically for Emma to break the curse. TLK was a safety valve. But I don’t think that kind of safety valve existed for this curse. But the way I think of it now, Zelena’s targeting Regina and wanted to take away everything that matters to Regina, so Regina would probably be the key to breaking the curse this time around.
Thinking back to past curses, if Pan’s curse had succeeded, TLK would have been different then too. If Rumple had lived, chances are, Rumple would need to share TLK with someone to break Pan’s curse too. Belle would be a good choice, but I would have picked Neal. All curses are tailor made.
True Love’s kiss can break any curse.
Yes but it was specifically EMMA and HENRY that broke that curse. It wasn’t OQ; it’wasn’t Cursed Snowing.
And this curse was apparently specifically Regina and Henry but no one MADE IT that way.
Zelena’s targeting Regina and wanted to take away everything that matters to Regina, so Regina would probably be the key to breaking the curse this time around.
But Zelena didn’t CAST the curse. They did. And they never put a stop value in the curse unless they skipped over showing it. It’s the same curse but it’s not the same curse because the scroll was desroyed meaning that to have a breaker you need a new safety valve.
All curses are tailor made.
Well I agree, but we never saw this curse be tailor made is the point I’m getting at.
The original curse was tailor made for Emma, the produce of true love.
This one just made Regina the breaker for poetic, beautiful poetry mind you, reasons but without showing us that Regina would be the breaker in the past.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Well she did cook the curse even though Snow made the sacrifice that could be why her TLK was able to break it.
Another way to think about it is that TLK at least when it comes to parents and their children cannot be repeated with the same parent because they already established true love.
And Henry has more than one mom. He has Regina too. Story aside they did truly love each other and while we didn’t see a safety valve moment in fairy tale land Regina’s sadness over her separation was also a part of her arc.
Does that make sense?

Yes of course. And I’ve never questioned that. It’s not a matter of “did Regina love Henry enough.” It’s an internal show logic. A creator must be WRITTEN into the Curse. Those are the rules. They need something to show that Snowing planned for Regina to break the curse. Because otherwise, they just cast a curse with no Savior, which is bizarre. Just a throw away line like, “oh that’s right. We added Regina’s blood to the potion because *magical handwaving explanation*” Fine. But there is a logic to the curse as we learned in S1 and those rules got thrown out the window for the sake of emotion.
For some reason Snowing forgot that the purpose of the Dark Curse was to take away happy endings; they shouldn’t have remembered anything to begin with! But they neglected to mention how they skirted around that issues. Zelena ensures that they’d loose the last year, but the DC was supposed to erase everything. So why didn’t Snowing take that into consideration.
They saw the Curse as a bus that would take them from point A to point B but that’s not just what the curse was for. So a lot of things we’ve been told about the Curse were left out in order to drive an emotional story.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Since Zelena tampered with the Dark Curse, maybe only her sister could undo what Z had done because of blood magic.
That’s why it had to be Regina’s TLK.

Possibly. I’m okay with that but I shouldn’t have to try to put together reasons for why Regina could break the curse. Emma has a very easy explanation that is given in-show. There is a difference between theorizing and trying to figure out the plot. If someone in show says, oh it had to be Regina because Zelena took her blood (312) and the added it to the potion, okay. Though that does make me wonder why she took the blood in the first place seeing as she didn’t know they were going to cast the curse until the final moments.See. There are confusing plot points upon plot points.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Someone should just ask Adam on twitter.
But I like the theory because Zelena tampered with the curse, that it had to be Regina to break it.
