As a pretty big fan of Once Upon A Time and I'm not even going to mention the terrible last few seasons/wrap up of the show. Kinda deserved more than what we got with that weird lets introduce too many new characters and none of the older characters wanted to come back except a few and lets introduce UP as Belle's and Rumple's storyline Disaster. Oh and the beautiful spin off Once Upon A Time in Wonderland SHOULD'VE GOTTEN more attention b/c it as actually amazing and we totally could've seen more cross overs. But anyways, as a big fan I would hate to see Moana in Once Upon A Time. Don't get me wrong, there are new princesses and princes every day for Disney. But Moana came out after the show/show's Popularity. I don't love Moana. I don't love Frozen. They did the best they could with the Frozen Line and I actually liked the actors they went with. But the show dodged a bullet if they were to use Moana. Don't come for me lol, I would've loved to see the Disney characters that were never or barely mentioned true. Just not Moana.

If aurora was in love with Phillip and not mulan, what is there to explore? Dont make a character gay just because you want to be pc. Create a new character and give them that storyline. They need to stop redoing established characters that already have storylines just to please certain audiences, cuz theyre doing the opposite actually. Create new stories and characters with good storylines that are gay straight, bi, etc. let people fall in love with new characters that dont seem pigeon holed. Seriously Hollywood has lost all of their creativity due this diversity issue. Theyre remaking so many things that arent necessary. The Cosby show was good because of the writing not because they were like we need more black shows.

I stopped watching after Emma became the suppose dark one and even that barely lasted! But signs the show writing was going downhill was season two, all these characters disappearing, the first was the mad hatter for me and than came the giant anton, lily, maleficent who was brought back from the dead just to disappear from the shows plot, hell I looked up to see what happened to Ursula since I stopped watching and they have nothing to write about her! They could've just ended the Charmings story and started a new for the other characters! Each season could've been focused on one or two Disney characters!

For #6, they do actually mention who Lily's father is in the end of the last episode, as Regina and Zelina are driving to the castle, it is mentioned that Lily's father is Zorro and they laugh that Zorro is also a dragon. (I think it should be the only other dragon in the show, but that's just me. Only called The Dragon, he was part of Pinnocchio's arch and brought back again when Regina separated herself from the Evil Queen in New York. Also ended up in the mirror, but was later mentioned to be let out by Regina when she was cleaning up her evil halves messes)

How about the fact that bringing in the land of untold stories concept opened the doors for a few more seasons of interesting stories with new villains and heroes, etc, but instead it was by and large dropped by the middle of Season 6 and then in season 7, we got a reboot of characters wed already seen including a couple who had just been introduced for the first time in Season 6. Can we just agree Season 7 was by and large a wasted opportunity. Also, Im guessing Ms Mojo did t watch the final episode of the show because they did reveal that Zorro was Lilys father

Honestly, after Mulan left Aurora and them, I thought she wouldve ended up dating Ruby with how they were interacting and stuff afterwards. But they just put Ruby with some random character we only seen once, which is Dorothy. I still dont understand how Mulan was attracted to Aurora though? Even if I do think she is some form of queer. Like, I thought it was always specifically directly stated that she was in love with Philip, not Aurora. What parts am I missing? Please tell me all the details that prove that Mulan was actually attracted to Aurora.

I also would have loved to see some sort of storyline with Giselle, Prince Edward, and Robert Philip from Enchanted but played as they're respected actors and not being cast by different ones. The writers could've introduced around the Time where Giselle was torn between Prince Edward and ordinary Robert Philip. And then obviously chooses Robert Philip. They could have at least asked Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, and James Marsden. But no, we never got to see any storyline of theirs.

This is nearly the only thing I really hate about this series. That barely a death really has consequences. Side characters will just be ignored in later episodes and main characters come to life again and again. so to take e. g. rumple as an example. it takes away the tragedy of his death. I love him as a charactet, but like they said, his death in season 3 could've been a great end for a great character. To create space for new awesome characters to get their time to shine

As much as I hate Season 7 but I like how Regina really got her redemption there. Being a victim of her own curse and battling a psycho witch (Gothel) who doesn't fear the Dark One fascinated me, it made me realize that Regina can be queen without being evil and powerful, a baseball bat is enough. I like how badass the Season 7 Cinderella was but she didn't have any chemistry with Henry.
PS: Regina mentioned in S7 finale that Lily's father is Zorro

Ok, ok. Hear me out.
So in the show finale all the realms are combined, correct? So what that means is that a lot of characters have a double, because the wish realm Aladdin made for the Evil Queen in Season 6.
But wait theres more.
The reason I bring this up is because.
That would mean.
There is a wish realm version (and we have seen him so we know he exists) of Peter Pan.
Like, let that sink in

I feel like there couldve been a final battle where everyone in the past seasons, Mulan, Elsa, Arial, etc all got together to help the main characters in one final battle to save the realms. I havent watched the show, but I feel like it couldve used something like that as the ending. Also Im kind of surprised that Shrek didnt make an appearance in the show.

Killing off Peter TWICE made me SO MAD! I loved him! When Rumple killed him the first time I started crying so much. Then he came back for like 3-4 episodes in the Underworld. But they killed him AGAIN! I was so MAD and SAD. I did cry again but not as much. I was mostly just mad that they brought him back and then killed him AGAIN!

Concerning point number four, it is revealed in the last few moments of the very last episode of the series via dialogue that Zorro was Lily's father. It was just a throwaway line of dialogue, and it was clearly only added so that people couldn't say the father wasn't revealed, but nevertheless they did say who the father was

I understand being upset about Pocahontas not being on the show but she was not on the show because her story was not FAKE. It was a very real thing that happened to real people and its not a story that should be romanticized. That's why she was not on the show.

I'm still miffed that they brought up the whole, Prince Phillip being soul sucked and everything. and then they forgot about it, resolving it off screen later on. I would've like to see what they would have done against the creature and everything.

I really dont agree about you wanting Mulan to be the third wheel. Gay or straight, anyone who sees a happy couple, a happy couple that is expecting a child and stays to muddy the waters is just being a jerk, And I'm glad Mulan did the honorable thing.

6: 00 The final episode reveals her father to be Zorro! Sure, it's anticlimactic but at least they addressed it!
8: 14 I agree that Mulan should have been more important - but Anton found his place with the Dwarfs & Ursula reconciled with Poseiden.

Phillip should have been revealed to be someone like Horned King, King Candy or Frollo in disguise like Maid Marian. He gets killed off and Aurora and Mulan get together. And season seven is non canon in this scenario. Like a comic series or book.

Just finished watching Once Upon a Time in Wonderland for the first time, and I wish that they used that Jafar, as well as I don't think they did much with Will Scarlett once he became apart of season 4 of the main series.

I always thought it would be cool to see an adult neal (charming and snows son) would have been cool if he showed up in season 7 or after as a villian or antihero cause he was always overshadowed by his saviour sister

I totally agree about Henry having better chemistry with Ivy than with Jacinda. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought Jacinda was really annoying and bland. Not to mention, the actress they got is bad at acting.

Id have like to see Zelena and Nook get together in the last season they bounced off each other. And I agree Cinderella and Henry had zero chemistry I think because Ella is just bloody annoying.

6: 03 Rumpelstiltskin in once upon a time isn't just my favourite once upon a time character, he's one of my favourite characters of all time. So, if he stayed dead, I would've been angry.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde aren't even Disney/fairytale characters, so it was by far the least interesting and entertaining storyline in all 7 seasons of OUAT, shouldn't even be on the list.

Whatever season they went to hell, I thought that would have been perfect timing for either a Hercules (Hades) or Princess & The Frog (Dr. Facilier) storyline to follow.
