Re: I actually like how the MLP fandom woobifies villains
I'M SORRY I KNOW YOU'VE ALREADY MENTIONED THAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO START WATCHING IT BUT I CAN'T HELP IT. IT'S LIKE AN INFECTIOUS FEVER THAT REFUSES TO RUN ITS COURSE.
*flails like a stringless puppet*
Although to be somewhat more on topic, I think that's why I finally gave up on Once Upon a Time. Regina's redemption was so convoluted. Rather than have her take small steps and grow naturally, it was like "she's getting better. OH NO CORA. NOW SHE'S BETRAYED EVERYONE AGAIN. EVIL. but look! she's getting better again!!!1!!" And then meanwhile you have Rumpel who was still doing some pretty nasty shit in season two, but it's okay because Belle loves him and she sees the goodness inside.
Granted, I stopped watching after season two, so I have no idea whether or not any of that is still the case or not.

Back in season two, it always seemed like Rumple was trying to be a "good person" because that's what would get him Belle whereas Regina genuinely wanted to change. Also at least in regards to their backstory, Regina was a victim manipulated into her evil path (of course, she's completely responsible for her actions after that). Even after her mother killed Daniel, all she wanted to do was escape and start over again somewhere else, but Rumple dragged her back into evil magic drama.
Whereas Rumple was always sort of a coward and - granted he wanted power to protect his son - but he also wanted power for power's sake? And then when Bae offered him a way out, to go to a new land together, Rumple was too scared/too attached to the Dark One to follow.
Of course, there have been two seasons between now and then and I have no idea what's happened as well as the actual execution.
