I’m so excited for the 2nd half of the season! Belle is finally going to be more included in the big picture, and I believe we are getting a lot more RumBelle too!
All I care about is that we see them! I know they are endgame and true love, so I don’t mind the angst! Every romantic couple on the show struggles- it’s what happens in drama.
Honestly, I’m not worried for them. They’ll be fine. They’ll come out stronger in the end. And Eddy likes to tease.
It kind of bothers me that anyone wishing that Rapunzel look like the Disney film is accused of being racist! Yes, some people are- particularly anyone being hateful about it. But with most, it’s just that they just get stuck on how they expect a character to look. I personally have never seen a version of Rapunzel in which she wasn’t blonde- and the Disney film is much beloved. I’m open to whatever Once decides to do, and the actress cast as Rapunzel is beautiful, but I can understand some disappointment that she won’t look the way we are used to. Imagine the backlash if they decided to make Tiana white!
I’m a big fan of the American Girl books and dolls. There’s one character Felicity whose best friend is a brunette girl named Elizabeth. However, when they decided to make a Felicity movie and come out with a doll version of Elizabeth, they made her blonde! They even Photoshopped the illustrations in newer editions of the books. And yes- gosh darn it- it bugged me!
That being said, of course we should all keep an open mind about Rapunzel. I trust casting. I trust Adam and Eddy, and I think we’ll get an awesome story even if Rapunzel was green!
And yes- SOME of the comments coming out of the woodworks *are* racist and mean. I am not advocating those! There is a difference between being a little disappointed and being outright cruel and close minded! There’s also a difference between disappointment and devastation.
I like Friendship is Magic, but I’m an OLD school My Little Pony fan because those are the ones I grew up with it. 🙂 I love the cartoon and toys of the 80s- have over 100 of them.
The reunion scene alone is going to make this whole episode for me! Rumple is actually *smiling*!! I have to say, Robert has a beautiful, genuine smile. I’m over the moon that he is going to introduce Neal and Belle properly. I bet those photos are from the moment when Belle discovers that Rumple’s son is alive.
We’ve known we weren’t going to see a whole lot of Belle in the first half of the season since the season started. That’s not a surprise. They didn’t want to divide the narrative as much as they did last year because they received so many complaints about that, so they didn’t do a lot of back and forthing between Neverland and Storybrooke. I miss Belle too, but I get what they wanted to do.
Once they return to Storybrooke, however, I have a hunch that we Belle fans are in for a real treat!
Favorite:
Loved all the conversations on the ship after they saved Henry- Bae accepting Rumple! Tink and Regina!
I was actually cheering on Regina at one point.
It was fun seeing Regina’s early attempts to be a mother.
Gold and Regina- always fun to watch together
Dislikes:
I wish the adoption story had been more interesting- it was way too easy!
I thought Pandora’s box was a fate worse than death! Rumple did not seem to be affected by it at all. He was even in the same pose. What happened to all the world’s evils?
Overall, another great season 3 ep, but I’m so ready for next week and the return of RumBelle! 🙂
I don’t see how anyone can say the show is anti-adoption after this episode! It was a big old love letter to it! Henry didn’t calm down for Mary Margaret because they are related…he calmed down because she is Snow White. She just naturally has that effect.
