[Once Upon a Time]

[mekkio]

I agree. His part could have been anyone. I just think they wanted to introduce him to see how the fandom would react and whether or not they would want to see more of him in season three. Sort of like what they did with Hook this season. Give him a small part at first. See how the audience reacts. And if it's positive, bring him back.

What I find weird about these new characters is that many of them aren't fairy tales but legends tied to real places. Like Mulan. Her story is tied directly to China. Does that mean China is a magical realm? Same thing with Lancelot. Is England a magical realm? Heck, the whole Camelot thing is tied into the Holy Grail. Where does Christianity fit in the Once Upon a Time world?

I really wish they had stuck with the fairy tales and only the fairy tales.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't forget Frankenstein too.

Christianity must be in there with the rest of the fairytales though.

Anyone that's had a Disney movie is fair game, since it's pretty much just Disney that's making the show (ABC is owned by Disney).

[(Anonymous)]

Well they have to tread careful around Peter Pan characters if they want to sell the show in the UK Commonwealth countries (that is why Tinkerbelle is Tinker Bell in some countries, and Captain Hook has been a bit evasive regarding his traditional costume and crew) lest a nasty letter from Great Ormond Street's lawyer happen, again.

Then why is Robin a human

WHY DO YOU HATE FURS, DISNEY?

[greenvelvetcake]

There are so many good fairy tales out there they could have used for inspiration, ones that aren't as well known. Maybe if they'd used the non-fairy tales to add some really different episodes, like the Frankenstein one (I admit I liked that one, because it was just so strange), if would have been more interesting, but the characters could have been replaced by other storybook characters without any change.

Next thing you know, there'll be a Hunchback of Notre Dame episode.

[(Anonymous)]

Ohhh, I hope they do that. I want to see their version of Clopin.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I remember being disappointed that they went for the most obvious and popular fairy tales when I first watched the series, especially considering how many cool ones there are often left by the wayside for Disney. Part of the reason I stopped after the first couple of episodes, that and the weird anti-adoption vibes.

[(Anonymous)]

As far as Christianity goes, I know in the pilot episode there is a cross in Emma's crib, and in one of the episodes Charming's shield has a cross on it. Plus Snow and Charming were married by a Bishop. So there is some kind of Christianity-based religion in the fairy tale world, though I assume it's drastically different than what we're used to.

I really wish the writers would breach this topic; all the fairies are nuns in the real world, so there could be interesting story potential there. In fact,

[(Anonymous)]

the whole idea of characters having crisis's of faith could really be interesting. Every fairy tale character has memories of two entirely separate lives; I wish they would develop that idea more, especially if both lives include drastically different beliefs/world views.

[(Anonymous)]

Meh, given how many changes and retellings there have been over the years I'm pretty certain someone has given Robin a magic bow at some point before now. At least he isn't a fox who doesn't wear pants, or an emo with floppy hair and a fringe that goes down to his ankles.

And since this is a OUaT post: Blah, blah, blah, Regina drama.

[othellia]

FOX WHO DOESN'T WEAR PANTS >>>>>>>>> MAGICAL BOW

[sootyowl]

I was just happy to see Gary. I suddenly wanted Miranda to appear and make fun of Rumple and his castle.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah but...is that not Tom Ellis in leather?

[(Anonymous)]

SAME. What the hell, seriously.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd rather they spend time on giving Regina at least one redeemable quality. There is absolutely nothing to like about that character. Even the "mother" role fans cream themselves over doesn't hold water, as she tried to convince Henry that he was insane/sent him to a shrink, all the time knowing full well he was right about everything.. Really, what was her game plan anyway? What was she going to do when he was thirty and all his friends/classmates were still children.

[(Anonymous)]

Called it.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like Regina either. I don't think she needs redeeming qualities. Sometimes people are bad people. Sometimes people are completely self-serving.

[deadtree]

okay I haven't watched OuaT in forever but UNF that costume. That show's costumes are always on point.

[(Anonymous)]

That bow pissed me off - it felt like a really cheap and unimaginative thing to do.

Such a wasted character...

I know it's owned by Disney, but seriously, stick to fairy tales only and use other, not as well known ones. I'd love to see Baba Yaga make a debut. Vasilissa the Beautiful might be an interesting one as well. Or we could go with African tales or South American fairy tales - I mean, there's so much more than just the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christen Anderson that we don't need to do non-fairy tale stuff. We have the whole world to go through for fairy tales!

[dinogrrl]

...Baba Yaga would be awesome o_o.

[(Anonymous)]

OUAT Robin Hood's bow made me think of the Huntsman's magic crossbow from the 10th Kingdom miniseries.

[dinogrrl]

As much as I love this show, I agree. His was probably the most forgettable 'introduction' in the entire show, and there's really no excuse for that. Really, lately I'm liking the 'real world' storylines better than the fairy tale land ones.
