All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of Felix4. Emma preferring Storybrooke over Enchanted Forest
Snow White, and even some of SB Residents who all grew up in the EF, prefers SB to EF. Especially the peasants…I know they’re happy for democracy.
Granny: Meatloaf back home…what a (beep).
Of course everyone would prefer Storybrooke because of all the conveniences once they’d experienced them. The point is had they not experienced those conveniences, they wouldn’t have known any better and would’ve been happy in the EF. The dwarves were whining about going back to the EF in season 2 because they missed it. I’m sure Snow would’ve preferred to stay in EF and actually raise Emma.

Keeper of FelixI don’t think Regina is pregnant. There is too much other plot going on to force a baby plot in. A pregnancy scare in one episode is possible but not a full blown Regina is pregnant plot.

Keeper of FelixPerhaps the sorcerer is Chernabog. He created the dark curse and also created the hat as a way to free an individual from the dark curse because Chernabog had no concept of TLK?
I think the author could be Merlin. Didn’t merlin have seer abilities? He saw different versions of the future depending on which choice the person made. For example, if person chose option A then outcome C would happen, if person chose option B then outcome D would happen. “The future is not set in stone” and all that jazz.

Keeper of FelixAnd a Victim all her life you say? Oh I don’t have to paint it…they’ve shown it, she grew up with a physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive mother and a cowardly father who did nothing but stand aside. Her true love was killed, and she was forced to not only marry a man thrice her age, but raise the very girl who put her in that situation in the first place. Manipulated and polluted by Rumpelstilskin, whose been concocting this heinous plot to darken her heart even before the girl was born, all so that she could cast his curse. And even after all is said and done, she still lost her true love Daniel again, lost her mother, lost her sister, and now has lost her soul mate! The only reason she hasn’t lost Henry is because he’s the Savior’s son too perhaps!
I don’t think Regina has been shown as a victim, at least from the point where she got out from under Cora’s thumb. Regina is not helpless, she is not easily taken advantage of, she is not weak, she is not blameless, etc. What you are saying is that everything Regina has done in her life is not her fault, she’s not capable of making her own choices, she can’t think for herself, she’s just a pawn that lets other people use her because she can’t stand up for herself.
That is not Regina. Rumple may have had plans for Regina but he didn’t hold a gun to her head and say “you will learn magic whether you like it or not”. Regina CHOSE to learn magic from him. It could be argued that Regina’s evil queen phase was her way of fighting back and standing up for herself after being oppressed by Cora for so long. Regina learnt from Cora that “magic is power” and “power is freedom” therefore magic=power=freedom. It was a bad choice of Regina’s but she has grown so much and has overcome her past to the point where she can look back and say “you know, being the evil queen wasn’t my best idea”. To take away Regina’s culpability for her actions is to take away her character growth as she would constantly be stuck in the “not my fault” frame of mind, and if she can’t accept responsibility for her actions then she can’t learn from her mistakes.
So yeah….Regina’s more of a victim of life more than anyone else on the show, the only one who can come close to her level of pain and sorrow is perhaps either Emma Swan or Rumpelstilskin. And before anyone brings up the “Well Emma wouldn’t have had such a bad life had Regina not cast the curse?” Well, heck, Emma should really thank Regina for casting the dark curse because as she said “It got them their son!” Yes, Emma’s life sucked, but it’s paying off in the end….she gets to live in a modern day world, something we’ve seen she prefers than the Enchanted Forest.
Emma prefers the modern day world to the EF because she grew up in the modern world and knows how to navigate it. Had she grown up in the EF, she probably would’ve preferred that as she didn’t know any better. That’s like someone just taking you out of your normal life and dropping you in the wilderness and asking which environment you prefer. So no. Emma shouldn’t “thank” Regina for the dark curse, if anything, Regina should “thank” Emma for not making a bigger deal out of it and hold it against her.
Here we go…Marian understood the choice well. Squeal or Die…she remained silent and chose death knowing she had a family to get back to. Every choice has it’s consequence…it all depends on whose paying the price. Marian had A LOT more to lose, and she let it be taken from her because she was a stubborn, prideful woman. It’s not about if it’s in her nature or not, and it sure as heck doesn’t make her a coward! It’s called survival…you do whatever it takes to survive. And if lying is what it takes to survive, then so be it.
Here’s the thing. Do you really think Marian could’ve just pointed in any old direction and Regina would have thanked her and just gone on her merry way, or do you think Regina would’ve held on to Marian until her information proved true and Snow had been apprehended? If it was so easy to fob Regina off, she would be on endless goose chases as the peasants sent her all over the place claiming Snow had gone “that way”.
If they want to paint the picture Regina killed this woman in cold blood, then Regina shouldn’t have given Marian a choice. And since she was going to die anyway, what would have been so bad with pointing in the wrong direction, and just saying “She went that way!” That might have just saved her life!
See above. MArian wasn’t going anywhere until Regina had Snow in chains.
Most everyone was familiar with her and her reputation? Then Robin and the Merry Men should not have been traveling through an Evil Queen’s realm. Much like everyone in the Enchanted Forest, if you knew you wouldn’t survive under Regina’s reign, pack up and move to Cinderella’s kingdom or Prince Eric’s kingdom. Unless Regina had some spell that trapped all her subjects in her land.
Firstly, kingdoms tend to be vast. Unless Robin and crew wanted to add months/years onto their trip, their quickest route would’ve been to go through Regina’s kingdom and it might’ve been their only route if they were travelling from one kingdom to another which were separated by Regina’s kingdom in the middle. Also, the peasants could hardly just up sticks and move, they couldn’t afford it and other kingdoms wouldn’t survive a massive influx of peasants from another kingdom. And there was always the possibility a new monarch could be even worse than Regina. Better the devil you know.
And to answer the question…of course Regina takes most responsibility for Marian’s death, but the left over responsibility does go to Marian for not even trying to get herself out of the situation.
Again how do you know she didn’t? She could’ve pointed Regina in the wrong direction, Regina kept hold of her and when the information turned out fruitless, Regina asked again, THEN Marian went silent. Regina had a reputation as the EVIL Queen for a reason.
