At least I'm able to use it in contests much more effectively! Anyone still play contests from time to time? I think it's a good minigame to use Pokemon we like that are not very good in battle.
Before Hook absorbed all the dark ones, they were just stuck in the underworld. There's enough of them to give Hades some trouble or they were powerless down there without the dagger? Maybe they didn't cross each other because ultimately the dark ones, especially Nimue, wanted to come back to life and snuff out the light, but I'm still wondering. Dark ones are not the kind of creatures to just take orders from anyone. Unless they reached some sort of deal to not get on each other's way.
Most of the time Regina's anger was directed at Snow while Cora got off relatively easily (aside from being pushed to Wonderland). So when this episode aired and Regina yelled at Cora it felt very satisfying, she deserved it. It was also interesting to see Cora's horrified face at the realization that Regina wouldn't be able to have kids, she understood that children were a way to consolidate and maintain power in the royal world, but Regina was so obsessed with her revenge that I don't think she was thinking about who was going to rule the kingdom in future generations. Although she did try to adopt Hansel & Gretel, but I think that was something she wanted out of loneliness.
Regina vs Maleficent
Zelena vs Regina
Amara vs Jafar
Emma vs Merlin
Black Fairy vs Zelena
I know the Blue fairy refers to her as "the one that rips out hearts" when talking to Tinkerbell, but fairies tend to know more things than the general populace. Did the people of the enchanted forest and the royal families knew what she was capable of? We know she turned straw into gold in front of the kingdom, but did she actually perform any other kind of magic in front of them ever again? In Wonderland she became queen (most likely by force) and Alice tells Will "I've heard of people like you..." when she realizes Will Scarlet may have had his heart taken by the Queen of Hearts after he continuously tries to kill her. So it seems she garnered a reputation there, but in the Enchanted Forest it seemed like she was always scheming in the background and going up the social ladder in a different way. I wonder if there were whispers about a powerful sorceress who was ripping out people's hearts (since she did have a vault full of them).
I bet he would try to crack a deal with him or try to steal the Chronosphere to go back in time and never abandon Baelfire. On that note, Zelena would probably try to use him as well, for her traveling in time plans. The difference is that in Alice through the looking glass seeing your past self screws the timeline completely whereas in Once I don't think we know the full effects bc Hook from the past didn't see his present self, but the past can be slightly altered since Snow and Charming's meeting changed. There's different magic rules depending on the universe, but it was fun to think about it.
Can she survive at least one attack?
Do you think they will ever appear in a movie or tv series?
This scene between Cruella and Isaac felt so magical! I always liked seeing none magical characters react to seeing magic for the first time. The concept of being stuck forever in the same time period is so intriguing to me. When the author asked Cruella what year is it, she can't even remember and says "Who bothers with such trivial things?"
Which leads me to think about the following...
- So that means the scientists in this realm won't achieve more discoveries beyond a certain point?
- Time is a trivial thing in her realm or at least not of upmost importance in some aspects.
- Did this realm started magically existing in this time period since its conception or did it had the natural progression of human kind until they stopped developing at this specific point in time? Isaac does says it exists out of time so I guess, maybe, it just magically came to existence like the wish realm?
- What other things could be affected by being stuck in this realm permanently?
I know I'm just thinking too much about this and there's not necessarily any answers, but it is fun to think about it!
I was so disturbed by her death. She wasn't the nicest person, but I don't think she deserved that fate either. Do you think she should've reported Cruella to the authorities? I feel like she was stuck in a lose-lose situation. Locking her daughter away didn't help, but as a mother she didn't want to send her to jail. I wonder if she ever moved on in the underworld, I bet her unfinished business would be related to Cruella so she is probably stuck there forever.
What other character sounds you find funny or enjoyable?
I don't think their backup plan was ever revealed, but if anyone knows please let me know. I seem to remember that someone else was going to come out of the urn if the writers couldn't do the Frozen storyline (I could be misremembering though). How do you think season 4A would've been without Elsa and Co? I think that maybe we would've gotten the Snow Queen regardless, but with more inspiration and details from the original tale.
In her backstory episode, she took her father's trident to give herself more power, but not much else in regard as to why she is considered a "Sea Witch". She is not Ariel's villain either. Do you think maybe she was making deals with other unfortunate souls? I headcanon that she ruled the ocean with an iron fist after dethroning her father out of spite for losing her voice and probably took down many more human ships for what Hook did to her. She must've gained her reputation somehow.
I wonder about this, since Fiona was a human that became a fairy, so that means that they don't necessarily have to be born as a fairy? (Not that they ever specified where fairies come from, but still). Her character always gave me the impression that she was just some sort of mystical being that had always existed, but I do wonder if the writers ever thought of giving her a backstory and if so, an explanation as to how she came to be the head of the fairies. I also wonder how her character dynamic would change if she had any family members, but I guess the fairies can be considered her "family".
They have a cool name, Oleana & Rose have memorable designs, Rose Tower works great as a villain HQ, the staff members look cool as grunts imo, but the writing and lack of presence throughout the game killed them. How would you fix their story?
I want more stuff like this, I was so surprised back then!
Anyone else really liked them? I love the futuristic helmet uniforms and the character designs as well. Their battle theme slaps! I also appreciate Aether Paradise. I remember going back there because I like the place and the background music.
It's probably just wishful thinking, but since a couple of nintendo franchises are getting movies and even Fox got to make a movie appearance. Do you think that means we will eventually get anything related to Kid Icarus? Maybe a series? An anime series and a game with switch graphics would look gorgeous.
