[@sanjumitra1]

Peter Pan is one of the biggest improvements, as they took all the hidden villainous traits of the characters turning him into what he could have always been. Easily one of the best arcs of the show but agree with all the rest

[@EmmySwimmy-j2e]

Totally agree!!!!

[@nicolechristie1382]

Totally agree. They ruined him as we knew him in the animation but the show has sooo improved him

[@charmmudd]

I came on here to disagree with the narrator and I'm glad that I'm not alone. The reveal that Pan is Rumple's father was legendary. Mouths wide open.

[@KristinaNorman]

The Peter Pan storyline was one of my favs of the entire series!

[@erinromary2796]

I agree!

[@IslesYankeeLady]

Are you crazy? Every Oncer I’ve ever heard of LOVES the Neverland arc. Peter’s the best villain. The plot development was great.

It's my favourite arc.

[@ecentral7512]

I agree

[@lisavanselow7451]

I hated the arc but it was interesting and was Peter Pan was a good villian.

[@ElizabethMcCormick-s2n]

I think it's more in line with J.M. Barrie's original take on the character!

[@DryBones271]

Here's the thing though, The show nailed the original Peter Pan character, He WAS a villain. the Disney version made him friendlier.

[@forrestdupre87]

You should read the book. He gets mad at Tinkerbell for trying to kill Wendy, rescues Tiger Lily from drowning and lets the Lost Boys go back with Wendy at the end.

i had heard before that like a lot of disney stories which are of course fun good fairy tale stories, that the original was much darker, that yeah this peter was closer the original story told

[@MTTT19]

Having Peter Pan be the villain was a brilliant decision. I’d honestly like to see a movie where the roles are reversed with Pan as the villain and Hook as the hero.

[@jman626]

There's a book like that called Unhooked by Lisa Maxwell. Such a good read!

[@lucygarrett9785]

If Peter pan was supposed to be the same I’d be mad, but he’s not They said “how is he a villain so hook can be a good guy” and they SUCCEEDED He is one of the most enduring, charming, and clever villains and his motivations make sense with his character. Robbie Kay was like 16 when he first started playing him and he has so much TALENT. OUAT Peter Pan is a masterpiece of a villain

[@joyunicycle]

I think "Ruined" is too harsh (unless you count Season 7). Maybe "unnecessary". I actually liked the Peter Pan episodes. The actor was phenomenal, I like the twists involving him and Neverland, and Peter Pan (even in the book) is a psychopath. He likes Wendy, but not only did he cut off Hook's hand, but he kills the Lost Boys if they grow up.

[@IslesYankeeLady]

The writing wasn’t bad in season 7. The studio ruined any chance they had to develop the new characters by only giving them one season. Think about how much we still don’t know about our favorites after season 1. After season 1, I knew it was morally wrong to kill Regina, but if she left? I would have been fine with it. Expecting extensive character development in one season is foolish.

[@darkserpentcat3309]

I think season 7 was unnecessary but I still liked parts of it a lot, but that can be said for every season. However, I also agree about be the development of characters being an issue and frankly would have preferred them to wrap up the loose threads from previous seasons instead. Admittedly though I was going in that season very skeptical when I watched it as the last couple seasons were not my favorite, the curse aspect was annoying at that point and, well, there were a lot of bad spinoff/sequels at the time and them continuing it felt like another cheap cash grab when you should have let the show ended. At least they didn’t have that musical episode like the previous season, I swear I nearly didn’t finish the show after watching that episode (no offense to the cast or those who liked it just wasn’t for me)

[@NickyHelp]

And it was revealed that he was never Peter Pan all along but actually an Original character, Malcolm, who took the Pan identity for his own purposes.

[@наташаковачева]

I still think Regina, Hook AND Rumpel are the GREATEST characters in OUAT! And was very disappointed to realize that you haven't include Rumpel at least as an honorable mention in improved section (and Cruella in ruined)

[@rafasouza3]

Of course they didn't mention him. The video clearly said DISNEY FAIRYTALES CHARACTERS. Disney doesn't have a Rumplestiltskin version

[@nixda9326]

this is just about DISNEY Characters and Rumpel was never one.

[@jancw]

True, Rumple was never a Disney character... ... but The Beast was. They also fleshed out The Crocodile, expanding that character as well.

[@matthewguidera]

They have a crocodile and a beast, which he was referred as multiple times.

[@katearcher8514]

strongly disagree, I think Cruella is the best villain. She is the only one inherently evil, the rest are made (Regina, Ursula), or redeemed (Cora, Rumple), or both

[@stefers8451]

The Peter Pan arc was one of my favorites. I loved when OUAT drew inspiration from the OG/ disney version and made it their own.

[@fullhousefrek]

I agree with you about Aladdin and Jasmine the once upon a times version were afraid of Jafar when their cartoon versions were so much better and braver

[@IslesYankeeLady]

I prefer the Aladdin plot in the Wonderland spinoff over the main OUAT.

[@isisjames255]

[@citrinedragonfly]

@@isisjames255 But Jafar was so much more developed and menacing in OUATW. He worked better as a foil to Cyrus than he did Aladdin. And Cyrus was kind of an Aladdin stand-in, at least partially.

[@anziocc]

I love that they turned Peter into a villain

[@jessedellross3245]

If OUAT came out now so many people would complain about how it changed the source material. They are called adaptations for a reason: it’s a different look at these classic stories. So many people today don’t get that

[@nixda9326]

pretty sure that even back then many of the purists complained about how much OUAT changed the Fairytale and Disney Characters. and its true that some where downgraded and not upgraded.

[@johat1219]

​@@nixda9326 yet they aren't all Disney's characters, so yes they could change as they please far away from the sources, but the difference is they made lot of changes to fit into the narrative that they all belong to the same universe, so they need to interact between eachother, but the core characteristics were still there, at least in the very firsts seasons. But also, people complain on the Disney's adaptations not for being purists but because Disney promised to bring to life their animated versions and they didn't, they were supposed to adapt the version they already had and that´s what make fans sad when they changed things. OUAT was never a LA of each story it was a retelling.

[@nixda9326]

@@johat1219 i wrote Disney and FAIRYTAIL Characters. im fully aware that not all of them are from Disney like Rumpel. and i didnt write that i minded the Changes, quite the opposite i think most Characterchanges were pretty good. i wrote that the Purists pretty sure complained about them. better read the whole Comment next time.

[@sarahjones8509]

I think your understanding of at least most people's issue is a little off. I loved OUAT and have hated most of the live action remakes. OUAT was a deliberate twist on the fairy tales "we thought we knew". That was the point. The remakes took already great movies and iconic characters and remade them in a way that rarely improved on the original movie. Too close to really be considered a new adaptation, but changing storylines and characters just enough to line up better with modern sensibilities making them feel just off. They had a great opportunity to go into the rich history and storytelling of Africa, South America, Asia and any number of older cultures in Europe and North America to bring new stories and diverse characters to the wider world and instead they took what probably seemed like the easy way out.

[@donoakes85]

You are 100% wrong regarding Peter Pan. It was a very strong possibility Peter is actually evil and there are many ways he can actually be interpreted as evil. It was a great twist they put in.

[@Ashykitty]

Hard disagree on Belle. Maybe they tried to improve her in later seasons, I don't know, but Disney is always doing my girl dirty in live action.

[@keirarees3179]

Killian Jones has me heart and soul, I bawl my eyes out every time I rewatch THAT scene when he sacrifices himself to save Emma and co.

[@NickyHelp]

Not according to the rating drops of the show. And besides, like all the villains, he never actually changed and redeemed. He reverted several times, he’s a liar and still a murderer. He murdered Merlin and showed no regrets. And he lied to Charming about the Murder of his father his whole life. And that story of the murder of Charming’s father is unfinished (where the assassin is defined to die off for this like in every story), and it will when a revival/reboot comes (as Colin and Ginnifer hinted about one.

[@516tigergirl]

I disagree with Belle. She kept going back to Rumple even though he showed multiple times how toxic he his. He chooses magic over her every time.

[@joanneaugust1489]

Rumple was a great character in the early seasons - until Bae's death. Because up until that point every bad he did had a purpose; it was understandable. After that, I feel like the writers didn't really know what to do with him. They already had Regina as the redeemed villain, thy didn't need another one of those, so Rumple had to stay gray-ish or even properly evil. The result was a character that made me scratch my head a lot. He does so much completely uncharacteristic, random evil stuff that feels like the writers just forcing him to stay evil even though he has no reason to. Him trying to have it all (I think that was season 4) at least made a bit of sense. Him taking all evil on himself didn't make a lot of sense, but okay, maybe it was the temptation of power. But then when Belle is pregnant, instead of working to earn her and the baby's trust, it seems like he does everything he can to prove himself untrustworthy, and that just doesn't make a heck of sense. Adult Gideon shows up and all of a sudden Rumple is back to reasonable and gray-ish good. Bobby Carlyle did the best he could with a script that was all over the place from season 4 onward. And honestly, that wasn't just his characters "development", it was most of the storylines. They went downhill quite a bit. Emma as the Dark One? Lame. Yet another family reunion with an evil parent? Lame. Baby stolen and brought up in a different universe, then returns full of anger and thirsty for revenge? This exact plot was seen on Angel as well as Charmed. To make a very long story short: The first three seasons really had something. But after that, things didn't get better. While I like some plot elements, and especially some characters developments (Regina and Hook), most of it frustrates me because it is so bad compared to the earlier seasons.

[@kaylovesdisney4582]

Captain Hook was DEFINITELY improved!!! 😍😍😍 I agree with you on Mulan, however, I enjoyed the Peter Pan plot twist as there are many theories that Peter Pan is the real villain so I thought it was great OUAT explored this.

She is an example of bravery, resilience, honour, loyalty, and truth to self, and yet they let that convulsive storyline change her character.

evil queen/regina was ruined for me

[@bonniecarruth8429]

OUAT was fun but when they made King Arthur a villain steam came out of my ears and curses out of my mouth!

No. 1 ruined, Rapunzel

Peter Pan in the ruined category when it was the best arc after season one is crazy.

I hated Aurora in OUAT but I'll give them at least credit for the burning room. I actually like that her sleeping curse was an actual punishment when she wasnt just unconscious but was stuck in a burning room to supposedly be alone in for 100 years. I could be remembering it wrong but I still liked the idea of that room.

I agree with most of this but the one with peter pan. I think his character was soooo good! But the best one was absolutely Rumplestiltskin!!!

I loved the villain turn of Pete Pan and his story arc.

Ms. Mojo, you keep running these OUAT lists and you make me want to watch the show all over again. I’ve already seen it twice. 😂 I love it. One of the best (until the last season. WTF was that? 😬).

[@charmmudd]

Yeah, Season 7 was trash .

[@JorjaBrown-wl8bt]

I for one think Peter Pan was improved ❤ and I am personally offended that they put him on the ruined list.
