Thought I’d link this here (language warning)
It’s a nice demonstration that often times the fights don’t just come from the narrative but the way the social media accounts handle the audience–both the general and the fandom.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Ok, a slightly off-topic theory about Rumple/Neal/Underworld. Sorry if someone already posted something to this effect: Ok, we know that Rumple’s now DO on steroids, which has been explained as him having the power of all the DOs combined. But does that also mean he’s hosting all their souls (the same way that Hook was hosting Nimue)? If so, then would these souls be “tradable,” from Hades’s perspective? Technically, depending on how Hades’s accounting works, he’s N=[however many DOs there were] souls short, now that all those DOs are “archived” with Rumple. Unless the souls got distilled into pure power, but I don’t think there was anything in the script that suggested this. If leaving the Underworld is all about a soul for a soul, I wonder if this might be one way in which our “heroes” bust people out — instead of sacrificing one of the group, they might have Rumple give up some of the souls/powers (but not necessarily all) — whether for Neal, or for several people (Hook? Cora?). This would allow the writers to keep Rumple a magic user, while returning him to a moral gray area, rather than all black — which is sort of where they seem to like him. Or they also might make a deal with Hades to kill (or try to kill) Rumple to release the errant souls back into the Underworld, thus brokering some sort of arrangement for whoever is coming back. Thoughts?
I actually think that this makes a lot of sense. there was a recent spoiler about the fact that the heroes may learn that the souls don’t have to stay in the Underworld. At the time, I obviously leaned towards Emma since her Savior Status would suggest that she’s the one to break souls outta “jail.” Her very own harrowing of the Underworld, as it were. I don’t know if it would be Rumple willingly giving up some of those collective souls–especially for Hook–but I could see Emma making the hard choice and forcing Rumple to do such a thing, both claiming that she’s protecting the town (by reducing Rumple’s collective-soul power) and that the souls she saving do not deserve to be in the Underworld in the first place
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Sometimes I like OUAT critics for pointing out the ridiculous things that OUAT does, but I don’t understand how a professional critic can point out the flaws of one character while neglect the flaws of the other.
At this point I normally point out the problem with emotional truths but….I’m tired. Needless to say that even professional critics get their jollies in shipping and when something dares to disturb that force, they let it show.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"If the fans get to see the premiere, then it will be a lot like 401 in which we had episode reports and spoilers from people who went.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Zelena exiting after Season 5, my money would be on Zelena.
And given that Hades has some sort of thing for Zelena (?) I could see her happily going off to be his Queen or something.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Old Disney animations are always kind of creepy and disturbing.
You mean you don’t find this appealing?!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Roland for ring-bearer.
Only if Henry can be another groomsman.
Nah, Roland will just apologize for him and blame himself like other characters on the show.
LOL
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"People are very gullable.
Some people are, sure. But this was Snow White, a character who was introduced to us as a bandit living in the woods by her wits, suspicious of everyone, able to outsmart Regina’s guards and even allude Regina herself. This was a woman who could hunt, track, fight, survive, and lay traps.
Her survival instincts have gone over to Forgotten Hallmark Island (a smaller peninsula located offshore of Forgotten Character Island) and instead been replaced by a woman who has so much hope and faith that it clouds her judgement and makes her seems simplistic. Of course this is to say nothing of the writers attempting to “greyify” their leading heroine by making her a baby snatcher in order to make the villains more palatable.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Personally I think the finale might be more “epic battle” because while I suspect our heroes will think they’ve defeated Hades in 520 (also his centric), he’ll come back (how does one kill a god?) in 522/23 to do something dastardly to SB that brings about a cosmic war for the finale. Perhaps he brings “Hell on Earth” and Emma must not only face down Hades, lord of the Underworld, but also his Walking Dead; the former Emma casts back into Hades and the latter Emma saves and sends off to some Heaven-y type deal.
