I agree, sort of. I ship Regina/Robin so hard, and I hate, hate, hate that the show brought her back. But given that she's back, I don't want Robin to choose Regina over her, at least not without some thought. If it turns out he isn't in love with her anymore, fine, an agreeable breakup would work for me. But I want the story to work. And I don't want Marian to be randomly killed off either because that would be worse. I hate that she's back, but now that she is I want them to actually make the story work and not turn Robin into an ass.

If they were going to bring her back they never should've started Regina/Robin. However, this show likes its pointless drama and love triangles, so...

I agree (mostly - I don't hate that she's back because I love me some angst as long as it ends the way I want it to!). Their reunion was as adorable as it was heartbreaking to watch, but it was also a "surprise of the moment" thing and doesn't necessarily reflect where their hearts will be when things settle. Plus, on a show that loves to tweak with what we "know" about fairy tales, there's no reason a couple HAS to end up together, even if they ARE Robin Hood and Maid Marian.

To borrow an idea from a fanfic someone I know is toying with, perhaps the "best solution" would be for seriously bad shit to start happening as a consequence of Marian being in the wrong time, and she volunteers to return to set the world right again.

So you want a Disney/fairy tale character to kill themselves to solve narrative problems?

(Anonymous) 2014-06-14 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
When did I say that? Returning to the past wouldn't be an automatic death sentence. Even if it would require a heroic sacrifice on Marian's part, it doesn't mean she'd be deposited right back in that cell. I also disagree with labeling this storyline a narrative problem.

And again, the whole point of this show is to change what we think we know about Disney/fairy tale characters. We shouldn't expect their destinies to be the exact same or necessarily the happiest possible. I want to see the writers doing interesting and surprising things with these characters, not treating them as untouchable and precious solely because they're based on fairy tales/legends.
