So it’s been a week since the finale, and my brother who is a casual viewer only got around to watch the finale a couple of days ago. I was talking to him today and he asked me if I liked the finale or not. Well I started to list all the things in the finale that made me super angry/sad.. but before I could get to the part about rumple’s OOC moment, my brother said that the past rumple would have NEVER drunk the forgetting potion, and that he would have done absolutely anything to save Bae. It felt so good when he said that, since it’s comforting to know that the casual viewers can see how incredibly OOC that was. I mean my brother never actually discusses any specific scenes of the show, the only comments he makes are whether he liked it or not or just some very general comments. He likes Neal but he also doesn’t dislike hook, so to see him feel so strongly about this was really interesting.
and something a bit unrelated, I went out for lunch today and there was a father and a son having lunch together and they were laughing and having a great time and when I saw them I immediately thought of Neal and Henry and also the bonding moments the writers could have shown us but instead they decided to kill the character with the most potential. It was a very bittersweet moment..
[adrotate group="5"]I’m just so sad.. I can’t believe I’m feeling like this all over again. I feel as sad as I was feeling after 3×15.. only angrier. I mean to some extent I feel like the real life is perhaps happier than OUAT. Why would they do this to us?! WHY??!! I was thinking today that it would have been easier to watch the finale if they didn’t constantly remind us of how amazing and lovely swanfire was (and it still is for me).. and then naming the baby neal and showing a look of appreciation on rumple’s and emma’s faces.. Just NO! don’t make it any harder for us.. that’s just so cruel!
I mean come on if I had lost someone I loved I would do anything to get them back and I sure wouldn’t beg someone to let them stay dead and then save a random woman knowing it’s risky since the whole point was to not change the past! It hurts so much! And with everything Neal did, he didn’t even get a goodbye kiss when he was dying?? and then letting go of a ship gets a kiss in a heartbeat?! al-righty then.
Sorry for the rant guys.. I just feel so sad! 🙁 I hope to never get this emotionally attached to a show.. I feel like they’ve killed all the things I value in life.
@Baelfireliveson I’m also a long time lurker on this thread but I have a very different opinion. I love this thread so I might be a bit biased but here is what I think personally:
We all love the actors and actresses on OUAT, there is no doubt about that. If we express our feelings (positive or negative) towards certain characters, we are not saying that we dislike the actor or anything as such. We are simply unhappy with the way the story and the character is being written. It is important to discuss the character because eventually the writers will be sending a message to the audience using these characters. So If the show is portraying a character as a hero while there has hardly been any efforts to redeem the character fully (to put the character on the redemption road because he wants to change and become a good person to right his wrongs, and not because he wants to get the girl), I think it’s important to point these things out because a show about happy endings should not be sending the message that you can easily get your happy ending (even easier than everyone else) even if you haven’t learnt form your past mistakes and haven’t redeemed yourself.
Hey guys, this is a bit random but this is the first time I’m writing in the forums (cos I’m too lazy to post haha) and I just wanted to let you all know that I feel like I know you all because I’m always here reading your awesome posts :D. Whenever I was happy or sad, coming here and reading your lovely posts just made me feel a thousand times better. So thank you xx
and #HopeforRogueBison 😉
