Ding ding ding!!!! Correct
Oh wow. I don’t really have any characters to suggest at the top of my head. Can someone else go?
[adrotate group="5"]To place the blame for Marian’s almost murder on Marian just doesn’t sit well with me in any way. She was being a hero, and sacrificing for others, including her family.
I’ve always been uncomfortable with this as well. Traditionally speaking, Marian is not a bad person. She believes in the same things Robin believes in, in fact, we even learned from Robin that he learned his goodness from her! So she’s not definitely not an evil person. (I do wish we had more of Marian in 4A. Flashbacks even but maybe in 4B?)
Secondly, I agree with Keb, Marian is a hero and the reason why she didn’t lie to the Evil Queen was because it isn’t in her nature. She’s not a coward. It would be against her nature if she pointed the finger at another innocent. That’s not who she is. If she believes something is worth fighting for, she will fight for it because it’s a cause worth fighting for.
The difference between heroes and villains, they both think that they’re just in their actions but for villains, it’s mostly a skewed perception of what is just and right. We’ve seen this with almost every villain on Once who feels that they were unjustly wronged for something or other. But it doesn’t make their actions right by any means.
And if Regina was truly the hero from the beginning, seriously, the woman would not even need a redemption arc.
Lastly, there is such a thing as free will and choices.
True, Regina was manipulated a lot when she was younger but no one held a dagger to her throat when she decided to waste the town that hid Snow White in the Evil Queen (2×20). She did a lot of damage to pretty much the whole kingdom. I don’t think it mattered if she wasn’t the Queen of Robin’s realm or not. Most everyone was familiar with her and her reputation.
Don’t normally post here but I read this morning about Lisas and I made a post in the CS thread but thought I’d copy it here too.
My condolences to her family and all the SF ‘shippers. No matter what you ‘ship, I’ve always thought the Once fandom as one big family. We don’t always get along or see eye-to-eye on everything, but every fan is a special part of the fandom.
Lisas will be missed.
I have not been around. I just checked chat today and saw that LisaS a poster here has passed away. I am so sad for her and her family.

In order for True Love’s Kiss to work WickedRegal, it has to be reciprocated by both parties. They have to truly love each other. It’s why when Belle lost her memory in season two, true love’s kiss didn’t work because she didn’t remember that she loved Rumple. It has to go both ways.
The minute Snow and Charming stop loving each other, that’s when true love’s kiss will stop working for them as well. Because they wouldn’t truly love each other each other anymore.
Wow @keb, I’m impressed.
Interesting. So the Dalmatian puppy Belle came across, that was Cruella? The effects have been very awesome this season, so shape shifting would be cool.
So Marian talked to Regina in the diner about wanting to be chosen, for Robin to choose her but she would be okay if Robin chose Regina and she would step aside. Why didn’t Regina repeat this conversation to Robin? Seems like there could have been a moment before Marian started showing freezing symptoms where this could have been brought up but it never was.
I feel bad for Marian in this because Robin doesn’t love her; he’s only with her out of obligation still. There’s no love there. Marian deserves better than that and I wouldn’t want her to be Robin’s second choice either.
