Also, while I understand why Robin was so important in Robin’s storyline and in her development, etc. I just personally despise how BRUTALLY his wife was MURDERED (her body completely annihilated, meaning no remains to be buried, no ashes to be kept or scattered it was actually REALLY messed up, but we’re not supposed to care because we’re meant to root for Robin and Regina. Maid Marian, THEE Maid Marian l, was LITERALLY made into the disposable Black love interest!
Let that sink in.
I’m not saying Marian needed to stay with Robin. He could have made the choice to leave her (if he even wanted that) and she could be allowed to raise her son and live a life.
But Once Upon a Time was HORRIBLE to it’s Black characters.

In-between watching from the beginning, I’ve been told by more than one fan to stop watching after season 3 which I did. But during all of it, there’s a rewatch podcast I’ve listened to, Once Upon a Timing, that’s honestly so fun to listen to even if you don’t care about the show! You have my recommendation!
Edit: one of the biggest missed opportunities for me was the world-building. Or I guess, small-town-building. What would a small town governed by fairy tale characters look like after they regained their memories One of my ideas was a retail store so massive with doors so long and wide that giants can walk through them. Call it Bunyan’s.

for every other main character on the show it was possible to bend the rules of magic but not for reginas happy ending apparently. yes she caused a lot of suffering (including rape) but it's not like her bad karma didn't bite her in the butt constantly besides when magic and prophecies exist in the universe of a show it's save to assume if bad things could have been prevented there would have been a way. of course regina doesn't need a man fixing her but she always deserved romantic platonic and familiar love. that said OUAT is still my favorite live action show (outside marvel at least)

I don't know if being Queen is what would make Regina happy because when Henry left after high school, Regina said felt lonely and unfulfilled being mayor of Storybrooke. So Henry invited her to join him so she could find her own story. So maybe Regina would have needed to continue that journey. However I love that Henry's love for his mom helped her become the good person she was before her mother caused the hurt that made Regina turn evil.

She should've apologized to the Charmings and returned the hearts in her vault. Her being the Good Queen after being a dictator/mass murderer feels weird. I don't think all the people whose families she murdered would accept it, even if she changed. I liked that she ended up single, but after this video I agree that she should've found love instead of a position of power.

Regina was a rapist and murderer. I hated how the rest of the characters just put that aside. The most egregious example was when Emma witnessed Regina burning her mother alive and laughing. Then just a few minutes later, in her perspective, Emma was apologizing for putting a crimp and Regina’s love life by saving the life of her boyfriend’s wife.

Given the success of the live-action series, a film expanding the Evil Queen's backstory could be compelling. In such a movie, Lana Parrilla could portray the adult Evil Queen, while another actress could play her younger self, as Parrilla has effectively embodied the character.

I agree with Regina reckoning with her evil side. And honestly the first time I saw the final battle between Regina and her evil side I thought the resolution was them uniting as one again. In my opinion it was a missed opportunity to do that

I think there isn’t enough credit to her motherhood and time with Henry and co parenting with Emma. Her journey mothering Henry has had her face her troubled relationship with her mother. And I would have cast a better Henry

I absolutely loved everything about Regina's storyarc, seeing her going from Evil Queen to Good Queen. But I almost stopped watching the show (I didn't but came real close lol) when they killed Robin. I was soooo mad.

What we needed was a spin off show that fully centered around Lana Parilla and Robert Carlyle absolutely killing it. By far and away the two best actors in the series and their talents were dynamic playing off each other.

Completely unrelated but since Regina's the main topic of the video we get to see a collections of fabulous fashion. Damn, the costuming on her was particularly good as the evil queen. She always looks ON POINT.

Mills women were truly great villains. Regina and Zelena are specially the best. And I also think Regina should’ve given the throne to Henry, her heir, and his family.

I love characters who you hate at first but when you go in to their backstory and understand their motives, you grow to like them and even in some cases route for the.

OUAT was a really good show that overstayed its welcome. They stretched it so much that a lot of its viewers lost interest.

Love this show up to the last season. Hated the reboot season. Regina and Hook were my favorite characters of this show.
