This all but confirms that Aladdin and Jasmine will play zero role in how the series shakes down at the end of this season. They will be done once their episode is over. I think they had a much bigger plan for Jafar and Jasmine and Aladdin but once they realized their show was likely going down the tubes, they needed start wrapping things up. And they knew they wanted to get the Black Fairy into the show, and they knew they wanted a musical episode as well. So the Aladdin characters got the shaft. Pity. Let me clarify, I’m not upset that we are getting a musical episode or that we are getting the Black Fairy. I’m upset that they didn’t incorporate these things last season so that we could focus more on Aladdin and company this year instead of rushing to include everyone before the show ends. Would have rather had a half season of Jafar and Aladdin and Jasmine and Agrabah then the UW with Hades, or Camelot, or Elsa and the Snow Queen. They clearly thought they had more time and now they are rushing.
[adrotate group="5"]What on earth is ER? CS fans would probably stop watching if CS got wrapped up. So that makes sense. But from my standpoint, I would still watch the show if Regina became the main character.
I know people don’t want to admit anything but Regina is very much a divisive character in the fandom especially after all the focus she’s had this season. Which has not been well written whatsoever. She’s as much loved as she is hated, especially going by Adam’s mentions and things on Twitter. Her and Hook are this way and have been for a while now.
And this is just something I don’t see as much. Maybe I’m not on the right forums but I don’t think she’s as divisive as you are saying. People usually either love her for her EQ days and being a sassy boss or love her for turning over a new leaf and being a hero. Many, like myself, love both of these things. I’m sure some people hate her….but she’s not on the same level as Hook or Rumple for instance. I will also disagree on the writing so far this season. I’ve enjoyed most of it. It’s way better than anything they’ve done since season 3a. At least I’ve enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to all these plot points they dangled in the first half to come to fruition.
I think her story has more to do with family (Henry, Snow, and even co parenting with Emma) instead of a love interest which makes her much more relatable and likable.
If they kept it this way, that would be best. She doesn’t need a love interest. I completely agree that her love has always been for Henry and Robin, and without Robin, it’s all about Henry and her family. Many of her relationships with people have become the most evolved too. Like her and Snow. Or her and Emma. Or her and Henry for that matter. And these family relationships are important for the show. I don’t care if some select people hate her. It’s hard to argue that she hasn’t been the most relatable and influential person on the show and her character alone, because of how far she has come and the relationships she has mended (but still having a constant struggle) is why she is the only character that could handle a spin off. And her story should be far from over.
I would agree that I think they could build a show around Regina. I think this is the right move for a few reasons. One, she’s the best written character on the show. Two, her happy ending isn’t going to come this season (if happy ending means finding the one you love and going off into the sunset). It would be a shame if she never found love again after Robin.
I don’t get how they are going to finish off Regina’s arc or even what it is anymore. The problem being that Regina has been finished off for a couple of seasons now. Really, the entire show has been finished off and that is why it doesn’t really work because it doesn’t have a plot. The plot went with Neal and so it has just been sort of existing now.
This is actually the one character that I don’t feel has dragged on and or felt that their arc was done a couple seasons ago. I still think Regina’s character has a lot more to tell. At this point, she may be the most human and most realistic character on the show. If Emma takes a bow and goes off with Hook, or if she dies, it opens the door up for Regina to be the hero of the story and bring her arc full circle. Yeah. she’s been a “hero for a while now, but she hasn’t really done anything since taking down Zelena in 3b. She’s just been dealing with her inner demons and what not. Let her be the hero and finish her story for season 7. Most everyone loves Regina. That’s the only way people would watch a season 7 I feel. No one who loves Regina is going to feel like her story got wrapped up nicely if she’s done after this season….especially after alternative reality Robin doesn’t work out. She will be in a tough place once again coming down the stretch here. There’s not enough time to give her a happy ending.
I think at this point, the best we can hope for is that Eddy and Adam don’t show run anymore. It is hard because they write supernatural/fantasy shows when so few shows are like that, but they do it so badly that they should just not be allowed to show run. They should just go back to writing. They are actually pretty good writers. Their episodes are usually pretty good, but they have no business running a show and after the quick cancellation of Dead of Summer and Once in Wonderland only getting one season, and now with the mess that Ouat has become, i can only hope that ABC just lets them go after Ouat is over.
Yeah I usually think the episodes they write are pretty good. But you’re right, they should not be showrunners anymore. Although lately….I haven’t felt that way. This year, I actually didn’t like the midseason finale. I also didn’t like Street Rats. I also didn’t love the finale of last year. The last one I liked was probably Souls of the Departed. I don’t know. The show has become flat so the material is flat. When a story runs it’s course, it isn’t even the writers fault anymore. The show has gone on too long and has become stale, therefor the writing has become stale, therefor the acting has become stale. It’s a domino effect. They need to just move on and allow OUAT to die with a shrivel of dignity while it still can.
I’ve wanted dark Belle for so long…..if they are going to painfully force these two stay together…and not change Rumple’s behavior as the DO, then have Belle align with Rumple. Their son is the perfect way to do this. Maybe killing Emma like Gideon wants to do is the only way for something Belle and Rumple want, to actually happen.
I’m not sure what else they could do….but am I the only one who doesn’t want it to be some random curse that makes them all start singing? I’m not sure what else they could do but that just seems so easy.
I doubt they’ll do aged up characters. Because that costs money and would be time consuming to do it every day. And this show is not going to have the budget to continue that every single day. There is no way for this to be successful if these two are not connected to our present cast. It will bomb really really badly.
It’s true. It won’t do well if they aren’t connected to the show’s current cast. That’s why I’m hoping they bring them in at the end of season 6, and we find out they are connected to one or many of the core characters. What I don’t want is the aged up thing and I know they don’t have the budget for it….but what they can do is get a different actor to play a much older Henry and I don’t want that either. I want his story, along with all the other core characters’ stories, to come to an end. If they reboot it, reboot it with two new characters that get brought into it at the end of season 6 and continue the story through season 7. It won’t do well, but neither will a grown-up Henry or CS child etc.
Please end this with dignity. No people from the future. No characters getting a half lack luster happy ending. All this time, when the writers were saying they know how they want to end the show…….they should do whatever that is and forget about season 7. I don’t want to see a grown up Henry. I don’t want to see CS’s child. I want to see the current core characters we have finish their arcs properly.
But alas if I don’t get my wish, I will say these two new characters are two new people we don’t know. Could be from Disney lore or an original OUAT character (like Emma was). If they are going for a reboot, give me a friking reboot. Don’t give me aged up forms of characters I grew to love. Blah.
