Screwball did a really interesting essay on Emma’s plan to go to the underworld to get Hook.

Keeper of FelixI hope they really clarify what constitutes unfinished business. Because I can’t imagine what unfinished business people like Liam, Henry Sr., Cruella, and the blind witch have.
Me: Hey blind witch, why are you here? What’s your unfinished business?
Witch: I left the stove on. My gas bill is going to be so freaking high.
Me: Oh. Okay.
LOL
Don’t know what their explanation will be, but they could do something like “Hades (the underworld) looks differently to everyone who enters it; so for our SB gang, it looks like a destroyed SB’
So if that is what SB gang sees, what is UW SB to the people that are there? I mean Milah is dressed like normal clothes, working, is she really, really there or they are representations of the SB gang fears, of people they had connection in the past? But then again why would Emma see Milah, they dont appear ghost, at least not like the type of ghost we see in movies that can cross walls and not having a body u can touch. Again, questions they wont answer with actual logical answers bc as long as some character explains where the SB gang are, they are expecting the GA to actually go along with it and they are probably praying that the fandom and media dont point plot holes and lack of continuity if previous storylines.
The heroes spoke to Cora’s ghost in 3B. Is that going to come up? Are they going to explain why Cora’s ghost was Rose McGowan yet Underworld Cora is Barbara Hearshey?

This fic is great, definitely worth a read. It’s a parody so don’t take it too seriously.

Keeper of FelixMy opinion on 5A is that it was a slight improvement over 4A, which isn’t saying much, because it at least focussed on the main group of characters instead of the special guest stars aka Frozen. I despised how Anna was made to be the reason that Charming and Belle are the people they are.
One of the highlights of 5A was Zelena and her snark. However, considering how hated Zelena was in 3B and season 4, that might not be so complimentary for 5A to call her a highlight.
The weakest aspects of 5A were the Camelot storyline and the inclusion of Merida. Whilst the actors and actresses did well with their roles, ultimately the story did not go anywhere. The Bear King flashbacks were pointless and ruined Ruby’s character. I think I would’ve preferred her just to be off-screen around Storybrooke instead of suddenly deciding that she wants to leave all her friends and family behind to find other wolves like her. What ever happened to Granny teaching her to run the diner because she wanted to pass it on to Ruby when she got too old?
I think 5A would’ve been stronger storywise if the action had been kept to Storybrooke and played out consecutively instead of relying on a time jump then multiple flashbacks to tell the story. The Dark Swan storyline had so much potential that was ultimately wasted, much like other strorylines on the show such as Neverland, etc. Dark Emma should’ve been treated like Dark Phoenix, she’s still in there somewhere but the darkness has taken hold and isn’t relinquishing its grip easily.
Once has suffered ever since it switched to the 11/11 format. The town characters, such as Granny, Whale, the dwarves, Archie, have been reduced to cameos if they appear at all so Storybrooke has lost that small town feel. Rather than having a season long arc story split into two halves, we’re getting two story arcs per season and thus both storylines suffer because there is not enough time to do either story justice.
The dark ones storyline had so much potential but was wasted. That is an end of series storyline to destroy the darkness, “the final battle” as Rumple predicted back in season 1, but was essentially reduced to Emma wangsting and Hook’s man pain.
Snowing and Henry are a joke with Snow now in the role of Emma’s cheerleader. Killing Snow would be a kindness as it would at least leave the character with what little integrity she has left. Charming and Henry are just yes-men- they have no independent thoughts of their own and just agree to do whatever the women say.
Robin has always suffered as a character, pandering to the likes of Regina. Likewise with Snowing, he’s willing to abandon his young children for a pirate that none of them have a particular close bond with just because Emma’s given in to “love”.
RumBelle suffer yet again. Rumple’s character had a potentially interesting storyline about how he copes without magic, what’s he like stripped of the darkness etc etc and yet the writers have reduced him back to “power, power, power”. Belle is written so inconsistently it’s not even funny. She wants Rumple, she doesn’t want Rumple, she wants Rumple, she doesn’t want Rumple, she wants Rumple, she doesn’t want Rumple. Emilie de Ravin deserves better.
Emma’s and Hook’s storyline reminds me of this only taken seriously without the humour

Keeper of FelixThat fan fic is hilarious and is actually an improvement on the finale.

Keeper of FelixSomeone coming back wrong was also a thing from Buffy.
When Dawn tried to revive Joyce, it was strongly hinted that it would make Joyce come back wrong.
When Buffy came back from the dead, Spike’s chip didn’t recognise her as human and he told her that she “came back wrong”
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of Felix1. Rumple and Regina
Rumple- Regina may have learnt all she knows from Rumple but did he teach her all he knows? Besides being the super dark one which gives him the edge over Regina magically, Rumple can also be a lot more devious than Regina is.
2. Charming and Hook
Hook- Charming would fight with honour whilst Hook would fight to win. Hook’s hook could also be used to inflict damage on Charming that Charming wouldn’t be able to defend against. @RG I hadn’t noticed that Hook drops things.
3. Emma and Zelena
Zelena- Emma is still kind of new to wielding her magic although she does have more control over it now. Zelena learnt from Rumple so would probably have more tricks up her sleeve than Emma does.
4. Snow and Robin
Draw- Robin’s more experienced with a bow and arrow than Snow, however Snow is more willing to fight dirty since Robin constantly goes on about his “honour”.
5. Belle and Aurora
Belle- Belle uses her books to solve problems rather than a sword so I think she’ll either push a bookcase on Aurora or just hit her over the head with a book.
6. Cora and Maleficent
Cora- Maleficent has weaknesses which Cora would use against her. As far as Cora is concerned “love is weakness” and wouldn’t let her daughters get in the way of her victory.
7. Pan and Cruella
Pan- Pan can go far enough to kill whereas Cruella can’t. However I think Pan would be impressed by Cruella’s bloodlust and would invite her out for a drink, they can bond over their mutual dislike of Rumple. Panella anyone?
8. Ursula and Ingrid
Ingrid- Ursula wouldn’t stand a chance if Ingrid got her first move in quick.
9. Henry and Wendy
Wendy- Wendy has probably learnt a thing or two from Neverland and could probably play Henry’s emotions like a fiddle. Henry’s desire to be a hero is so strong that it can backfire on him because it can be used against him.
10. Grumpy and Felix
Felix- Although Grumpy has the stocky build and weight behind him to pose a challenge, Felix has the height and viciousness and disregard for his own safety that would win him the fight.
11. Elsa and Lily
Lily- She would play on Elsa’s insecurities to make her lose control of her powers then roast her.
12. Neal and Will
Neal- Neal is more solid than Will and won’t be knocked down easily. Plus Will probably wouldn’t want to risk the wrath of Rumple by hurting Bae.
13. Red and Anastasia
Anastasia- Ana can be ruthless when the need arises and has magic whereas Ruby doesn’t.
14. Sneezy and Doc
Sneezy- Sneezy could knock off Doc’s glasses so he couldn’t see then get a few sneaky hits in. Alternatively, if Doc does win the battle, Sneezy would win the war by infecting Doc with germs from his sneezes.
15. Happy and Bashful
Happy- Happy has more confidence than Bashful so would be more willing to fight whereas Bashful would try and avoid it at all costs, probably surrendering be the fight can happen and thus Happy wins. They’ll probably go for beers afterwards to show there are no hard feelings.
16. Dopey and Sleepy
Sleepy- Sleepy wins only because he’d get Dopey to forfeit the fight thus making Sleepy the winner by default.
17. Cinderella and Anna
Cinderella- She maced Rumple in the face once, who’s to say she won’t do it to Anna? Also Anna has no idea what mace is so wouldn’t be expecting it.
18. Mulan and Lancelot
Draw- Mulan and Lancelot are evenly matched and respect each other too much to try and hurt each other. They’d probably try to resolve their differences a different way.
19. Jafar and Merlin
Jafar- merlin is good and honourable, Jafar isn’t.
20. Tinkerbell and Blue Fairy
Tinkerbell- Tinkerbell has never been one to follow orders and her experiences in Neverland have hardened her. Blue’s response to someone disobeying her is indignation and petty revenge. Blue won’t get her hands dirty, whereas Tinkerbell is prepared to do what is necessary to achieve her goal.
21. Granny and Bo Peep
Granny- Granny is not some sweet old lady and she’s very handy with a crossbow.
22. Whale and Kristoff
Draw- Whale would convince Kristoff that it is pointless to fight, Kristoff would agree then they’d go to the pub.
