But a majority of the main characters were very very different from their original selves.
Prince Charming is brave and loyal….David was a cheating wuss. Snow was a strong fierce woman…Mary Margaret was a weak doormat. Jiminy was a conscience and followed his heart…Archie was not being true to himself but being run over by Regina. The Huntsman was sensitive and Graham felt nothing. Red was pretty obedient and tried to be helpful to her granny….Ruby went out of her way to be difficult.So there is actually a lot of evidence that points that many of them were the opposite of their true self. It was part of the curse to destroy their happiness.
Sorry but I still disagree.
Charming – as David, he had no memory of what was going on in his life but it was a consequence of him getting wounded in FTL. He was still trying to be kind to people and ‘do the right thing’.
Marry Margaret – she still stood for her values just like Snow and followed the ‘good’, even if it meant losing her love. That is NOT weak, that is exactly what would Snow do and she did – drunk the potion making her forget (that’s actually weaker than MM because she wasn’t strong enough to bear the thought of him)
Jiminy was a doctor (“with a PhD from a curse” 😆 ), a psychiatrist so he was still a conscience as such. And with Henry’s help that bit got straighten up anyway after the episode in the mine – Jiminy had it always in himself but he was afraid of making the step, just like he was in FTL when he wanted to stop stealing and leave his parents – being a thief wasn’t being true to himself either but he still kept doing it.
Hunstman was only sensitive to wolfs, he didn’t feel anything for the humans. (Snow was just an exception). In FTL he had no heart, in Storybrooke he had no feelings – how is that opposite?
Red was NOT obedient to her Granny, she actually kept sneaking out with her boy, remember?All the time, especially in season 1, the episodes were set so that we could see the PARALLELS between the Storybrooke and Enchanted Forest characters and see the connections. They are most definitely not opposite – a bit different, yes, but not opposite.
They would be ‘opposite’ if Mary Margaret was some terribly mean person, if Charming was Absolutely Displeasing, Sidney wasn’t following Regina like a puppy, if Archie was encouraging everyone to do bad things, Grumpy was actually Happy, Nova wasn’t flimsy and Gold was an angelic nun (Rumple didn’t have his memories until Emma arrived – until then he was one and only Mr Gold).As for Belle – well, she didn’t remember who Rumple was until the curse broke, while they were walking to the well, so she must have had some other personality as well.

Not true, not in the slightest.
