OP

[(Anonymous)]

Regina's just one of those characters who find it easier to blame others than to accept responsibility. (Although in this particular case she clearly should have been blaming Cora. I can appreciate that a relationship with an abusive parent would be complicated, but considering the lengths she went to in attempts to destroy Snow's life, I find it hard to believe she couldn't muster the courage to kill Cora when she had the chance/wanted to.)

Frankly, I don't understand how people can like any of the characters on this show (I like Snow, and I like Prince Charming as an extension of Snow because he makes her happy. Other than that, I like Grumpy & I like Anton the giant. The rest of them either bore me or are assholes. That's a big problem with this show for me- so many of my beloved Disney characters are assholes.)

I can't say I'm familiar with One Life to Live, but I like learning a little bit more about you, Anon.

Of course she did try to kill Cora on a few different occasions (Actually maybe it was only one. I can't remember right now) which meant I had no sympathy for her when Snow finally did the deed. Regina just strikes me as a fundamentally weak person. She has no coping skills, so she just turns around and pins the blame on the closest person who's weaker than she is. She's the magical equivalent of the kid who gets kicked so he goes and sets a cat on fire so something else feels worse than he does.

I liked Snow a lot before she decided not to execute Regina in that one flashback. Setting her free to go live in her castle and torment her prisoners was a crap thing to do for the people even if it made Snow feel nice to be forgiving.

I love Anton too! I like a lot of the minor characters like Whale and Abigail and Mulan and Aurora, and I love Rumpel and Belle, but the rest of the main cast? Bleh.

Yeah, deciding not to execute her was stupid. I get that Snow feels indebted to Regina for having saved her life when she was eight, but considering the number of times she has since tried to take it and the people she's killed for getting in the way...well you think the novelty of that first good deed would wear off.

And don't even get me started on how the show tried to make Snow's murder by proxy of Cora a "moral event horizon." Regina's pissed because Snow killed her mother? Cora killed Ava, Cora killed Lancelot, Cora's killed a shitton of people, Regina's killed a shitton of people, and the Grimm Brothers' Snow killed her stepmother by inviting her to the wedding and having her dance the night away in shoes of hot coal. Ugh. This show has such bullshit black & white morality that drives me batty. And then Snow was chastised for slapping Geppetto? I'm sorry, I think she was justified considering he'd just told her that he was the reason she never got to be a mother/Emma was raised an orphan. (Which ESPECIALLY drives me crazy because even as Jiminy advised Geppetto against that decision, Geppetto blew him off because of how Jiminy had deprived Geppetto of his parents and was therefore in no position to judge him. Yet...by doing what he did, Geppetto kind of made himself & Jiminy equal on the "screwing over a totally innocent kid, depriving them of parents" front.

I didn't find Mulan or Aurora compelling, though I wanted to like them. I like Whale in so much as I ship him with Snow, actually. Idk, I find it super sweet that she called him after a one night stand and that compelled him to send her flowers? (I also kind of ship Emma/Gold(Rumplestiltskin), so really I'm doing this show all kinds of wrong from a fandom perspective.
