I think a lot of hate for Jennifer Morrison's characters bleeds over into Once Upon a Time, which is a shame because I really don't think she's that bad. More than once, she's made me laugh out loud with her expressions when someone says something she thinks is bull, and I like my female characters ballsy and tough sometimes. She's not a woman lead character; she's a lead character who just happens to be a woman also.

I think part of the problem is that while she isn't as awesome as she could be, that's not her fault. It's the way Emma is written and directed. She's the hero. I mean, look at Prince Charming. He's kind of a bland character. His defining attribute is that he's kind of a doofus as Charming and a really, really big doofus as David. A relatively likeable doofus, but nonetheless. He's just the hero.

There's a reason people gravitate towards the villains in this fandom. Villains have motivations and inner struggles on this show outside of "I am the hero and I am going to do this thing heroically!" Which is the pit that Emmma has largely slipped into, even if it is really all for Henry.

She needs a strong motivation outside of Henry. I'm not saying she should lose the Henry motivation; her love for her son is a driving force of this show and should remain that way. But a character can have multiple motivations.
