regina mills, one of the most amazing, complicated, flawed, layered, beautiful characters to ever exist. I wanted to show her life through aspects of her life, or the people that are important to her. I tried to keep it short but, in order to show her story, her life, her development, it turned out to be this long. I guess you can say that regina's life was, basically, a movie. only took me 4 months to make this thing, lmao. but I wanted to, for her. for lana. lana is just absolutely, insanely incredible. and her portrayal of regina's depth is astonishing. I love her. and this is my big thank you to her creating one of the best characters ever made on television. I hope you all enjoy it.

I've always been a fan of Regina. Regina is hot & just simply very beautiful. I watched this show over & over on DVD back in the day. Seasons 1 & 2 were my favorite. Regina is my most favorite female villain while Agent Smith is my most favorite male villain. In the real world, a high class women would not fall for a commoner. Women date & marry up, not down. Just the truth.

[@kristybarker924]

It's ridiculous that she held such a grudge against a child. Really Regina couldn't beat her mother how was a child suppose to do it.

I can't put into words how perfect this "dedication" is. One minute I was laughing the next I was crying. All I can bring myself to say is that Lana Parrilla does not get even half the credit she rightfully deserves for her role of Regina. She is one spectacular actress and I'm proud to call Lana my idol

[@saraphillips9822]

I love her so much, damn I honestly believe that her talent is so underrated

[@tinkerbynoor7731]

because of Regina I learned not to judge "evil" people but rather now them first then judge based on that, and because of her I actually thought about having a child and how great a mother love is, I appreciate my mother and understand her feelings, OUAT is amazing because of this it latterly changed my view on life in general and gave me a lot to think about and grow

Okay, obviously it took a lot of work and a very deep, pure, evilregal soul to do this. I think every fan who come to see this tribute, can't do anything else but thank you and feel deeply grateful for your efforts. You showed an understanding of Regina Mills that goes beyond words, and of course, you pay hommage to Lana's work in the most beautiful way. She worked hard, putting herself completely in a role that was not easy to portray believing in all the things this amazing character had to bring to the world. Your video is you supporting her dedication, supporting her faith, supporting every struggles she had and the strenght she sought within herself to overcome every doubts. I'm sure you walked down a very similar path making this video, driven by the very same faith. Thank you for sharing your talent and your love. I'm glad this video exists.

[@simplymaterial]

SOBS thank you so much for your wonderful comment, wow. Thank you SO much for showing appreciation for the amount of work it took. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. And so happy that, in your eyes, I showed exactly what I wanted you to see! I'm just- happy haha. This makes all of it worth it!! Lana has worked so hard for Regina, and I really wanted to show that and the emotional but beautiful journey Regina's gone through. I'm glad that has come across well for you! Thank you!!!

[@fading_illusion]

[@Daisy94e]

Well, it’s gonna take me a while to comment this pure masterpiece! I honestly can't tell when I cried the most - Henry, the young Regina, Robin, her father, Snow White, her self-acceptance - I BASICALLY CRIED 1 hour and 10 minutes. DAMN! You created the most amazing, perfect, inspiring, awesome and epic character study ever. You showed every single shade of Regina, the dark and the light, the good and the bad, the villain and the hero, the daughter and the mother, the enemy and the friend, in the most perfect way. It’s so clear how much work you put into this video and the result is quite astonishing to be fully expressed with words. ❤ Only someone who loves Regina can really understand the amazing journey this character has been through and the unbelievable development she had, but I honestly believe that EVERYONE will appreciate and cherish this epic tribute you made for her. And I hope with all my heart that Lana watches it because it deserves it, because YOU DESERVE IT SWEETIE! ❤ This video reminds me why I love Regina Mills so badly, why I fell in love with her since the pilot, why I rooted for her in every episode, why I cried so many tears seeing her in pain, why I never accepted all the wrong things the writers put her through, why I always thought she deserved so much better, why her acceptance means so much to me as young woman, why it’s important to give someone a second chance even if they made some bad things, why I should never give up on hope.. but most importantly, it reminds me why *I LOVE LANA PARRILLA WITH ALL MY HEART AND WHY I’M ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO HAVE HER AS MY IDOL.* ❤ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this astonishing video, for the hard work you put on it and for sharing it with all of us! *YOU’VE MADE THE MOST EPIC MASTERPIECE EVER EXISTED SWEETHEART!* ❤

From being a powerful evil queen down to the point Drizella and Gothel took her down. Can't imagine Regina's experiences from top to bottom. Hands up to Lana's portrayal, an award won't be enough.

[@aly8950]

I completely agree with your description. I think Regina has the best character development and is the best character in television history. She's definitely more than some evil villain people only think of her as​. Lana is such an amazing actress and deserves more recognition. She really made this show become what it is. I love this edit btw. So many emotions. ❤

[@Timberwolf410]

I will say Regina (next to Emma, Rumple, and the Charmings) is my FAVORITE character on the show. Her arc is so amazing and so satisfying by the end of season 6 that I could have been happy with just that. I just relate to her so much and I see so much of myself in her, it's crazy lol I mean, who hasn't had to struggle with family, self-identity, learning to love yourself and learning to love someone (even after love has left you scarred)? I think those are really important lessons to learn and I'm glad we have a character like Regina to show that love and redemption and acceptance are all possible, no matter what. Best hour I've ever spent smiling, laughing, quoting and crying! Just all the love and all the praise to you for this, because our Queen of Sass deserves it, just like her happy ending! (:

Holy shit I can't. I have no words. I thought I had finally gotten over Regina and once upon a time and the fact that their story has pretty much ended before season 7 comes along with new twists, but this video brought all those feelings I felt watching my favorite character evolve over the years into a beautiful, beautiful summary/character study/basically an hour of pure Regina awesomeness, has got me bawling my eyes out. All them feels resurfacing together. I'm now an emotional mess. Thank you for doing such a good job and for not giving up on finishing this video because evil regals everywhere are now eternally grateful to you for the amount of effort put into this. It's truly a masterpiece. Thank you thank you so much!

[@simplymaterial]

Oh my gosh, thank YOU! I'm so happy you enjoyed it and that it made you feel and remember why we love Regina so much.

[@simplymaterial]

ROSE you're gonna make me cry???? This means so much to me, thank you!!

[@mckayleem3098]

I first watched OUAT until season four. My life was crazy when season five came out and I kind of forgot about the show but that last moment in season four when Emma disappears had been in my mind for years with suspense building. When I finally rewatched everything years later, the fact that they drop us back into that scene and Regina’s opening line is “how could she be so stupid?!” will forever be one of my fav moments and I was remembered much I loved this show and her. This video beautifully captures all the moments like that that make her her. And I love so much that it took having Henry to change Regina, because she realized that love is only weakness if you’re living for yourself and being a mother was the first time she had someone else to live for. Thanks for making. If any character deserves it it’s her.

[@foreverunicornlover6532]

"Well it seems elsa's blind faith is exactly what's screwing us right now." "Coming from you that's just terrifying." 😂😂😂😂😂same regina!!! I laughed SO hard at that! BTW thank you SOOO much for making this video. It really touched me, if shows the good times she's been through, the bad times, the happy times and the sad times. I really felt her pain and joy in certain moments. I also felt some of her sarcasm as well. This video made me laugh and cry. I love regina and I'm so sad for all that she's been through. She lost a lot of things that were important to her. She lost daniel, her father, her mother, robin, and even henry a couple of times. But through it all she's always so strong and that really is an inspiration right there. Lana is always so amazing and I appreciate the time, work and effort she puts into the character. It makes the story even more real. I can't even begin to explain how much lana and all the other casts members have motivated and inspired me. They are all such amazing people on and off screen! Keep up the good work! 😊 it makes me so happy to see this and lana truly is my BIGGEST idol EVER!!! 😊👍 I know she'll never see this but if she did, I would want her to know that I am proud and she has inspired me to always follow my dreams and never give up on faith and hope! Thank you Lana Parrilla, from the very bottom of my heart!💗💖💘

[@nerdievision]

I clicked on the video expecting a narrated type of video that goes in depth as to who Regina Mills is. I'm half way in and it looks like it's a 1 hour video compilation of Regina's best and worst moments but I've got to say, I am NOT disappointed. What a well edited video! Bravo! This truly encapsulates Regina Mill's journey. EDIT: I just finished the video and had to come back and comment. This was perfection, and ending on bloopers was a really nice touch. Again, great work!

[@Andy-qz3jk]

I really have no idea how to explain what I just saw. How amazing it was. I've been looking a video about Regina that has everything in it, something that shows who she is and this came up. This video shows her whole image, who she was, what she became and how she changed. This honestly reminded me why I loved that character and that woman, Lana. Ughh, the video is awesome. It's sooo well made, I couldn't believe that it was possible to find something so wonderful. Regina is really the best character of the show. It shows everything about life. That no one knows who you really are. That someone can change. That love is powerful. That strenght is not the thing that we all want. You managed to show all of these is just one video. Well done. This video really shows the talent of Lana Parrilla. What she is able to do, how much she is able to make you feel. She is an amazing actress and this is something that she must watch. I don't know how but she must watch it. Keep going with this excellent work, this is a masterpiece. Is literally the best video that I've watched in youtube.❤

i really enjoyed this so much, ive seen many character studies styled to one character. regina separ8d from theevilqueen was the best thing that ever happened to ouat bc teq finally got her happy ending w/a wish-robin hood, but our regina still has our henry. not to mention i dont think ive cried this much abt a character than i have w/regina. what got me going what the cutscenes b/w her relationships w/henry, then snow, then her parents and zelena, the lives&death parallels b/w daniel&robin bc finally regina was accepting that she is both herself as a hero by been a good not-so evil queen. these transitions were mind blowing that it hit me w/so many feels +the thing w/cora&henry moving on made me cry more than i should have. her parents were her true weakness, henry was her strength and zelena was the last piece to her family tree. altho daniel&robin were both the first&last true loves of her life, just like snow white, who was once her mortal enemy became her ultimate best friend. i loved this 101-622 tribute :)

[@pilar923]

OMG I'M SPEECHLESS. This is a masterpiece. I totally love it. Thank you for having made it.

[@Agpals]

Why doesn't this have a million views already? I cannot describe to you the masterpiece this really is. Every single thing about this video flowed and was edit to absolute perfection. Even though I love Emma, and Killian to death, there's something about Regina that always keeps me coming back. Her story arc is so powerful and heart wrenching and those who don't follow Regina's path don't really understand the redemption she's endured and the person she worked so hard to become. Out of all the characters on OUAT, she is the one who has transformed the most and has done the most character growth. Throughout all the seasons of the show, it was just incredible to see her shift from evil and self righteous, into a selfless hero by the end. I never understood how people could hate her, and yes she's ton a lot of wrongdoings. But heroes can be made out of the darkest of souls and she is definitely now a hero :) LANA NEEDS TO SEE THIS VIDEO LIKE ASAP!!!! Well done, this must have taken ages to complete and you really portrayed Regina to a T in a way I've never seen before :)))!!

[@tabeaxweb]

Oh my Gosh. I watched it all. I don’t know you. I started watching Ouat about a week ago, so I am a really small part and right at the beginning of this fandom. But your video, Regina, showed me that I have to accept myself. No matter what. That people can change. That they deserve a second chance. A bit over a year ago my father made terrible mistakes. Right now, after this video, I am thinking about calling him, after all that happend. Your video gave me hope. It gave me strength. Regina did it. I don’t have the time, because of school to watch the whole show in a short amount of time, it’s gonna take a while. But I am so excited for everything that’s going to come because the show and this video are a masterpiece. So thanks. For everything. You are awesome.

[@jackierussell1929]

This is the most amazing thing I ever ever watched in my entire life! Regina has always been my favorite character on the show through her good and bad times!

This was truly a masterpiece and work of art. Regina Mills is one of the most captivating and well developed character that I have ever seen on a television series and you captured every single flaw, failure, triumph, etc beautifully in one hour. I couldn't imagine ANYONE else making this character their own the way Lana has and I can't even imagine how long this took for you to make. I am in awe of this and am so glad I came across it.

45:16 onward I am in a pool of tears. So resounding on my heart strings because I think we can all relate to wanting to see someone we lost one last time, but it still hurts because we can't be with them wherever they go in the next life. When Regina introduces Henry Sr. to Henry Jr. for the first time, it's so heartwarming seeing older Henry's face that Regina named her adopted son after him, but so sad because this will be the first and last time their paths cross ; ( so heartwrenching

im speechless. i don't know how you had the patience to make this but I'm so glad you did because I haven't seem a more emotional, amazing video. you really showed reginas character well and I love it.

[@simplymaterial]

To be honest, I don't know how I had the patience either. Trust me, there were many times I just wanted to rage quit lol! But then the next day or after a little break I was like- no you know what, I can do this. I WANT to do this. And comments like yours make it worth it, thank you!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!

[@rhix4860]

simplymaterial your welcome!x

Regina: "I don't wanna end up like her" *Turns evil and is a Queen* Me: "REALLLYYYY!"

[@marissascullan9184]

I’m watching this in 2020, 3 years after it’s made and oh my god. This is amazing. Absolutely incredible. I love Regina and Lana so much. Thank you for the dedication you put into this. It turned out fantastic ❤️

[@MissPurpleDurple]

I'm just speechless with this...I'm going to try to wrap my head around this and type something up, so brace yourself. I watched this last night in my bed and I cried my eyes out. Personally I'm a cry baby and something that hits me in the heart i shed a few tears, but this was something totally different. You somehow took a character, shine a light on them and showed all angles of that person. In which showing the different angles of Regina Mills was something else. I love Regina Mills as much I personally my heart can take and watching this brought back so many memories I had though out the show. Some of them being the good, the bad, and some I even forgot about. But just re watching her journey made me appreciate Regina even more. Each aspect of this study had it's story to tell about this women and that was beautiful. One of the parts that got me emotional was the "Family" aspect. Watching how each person changed her was so breathtaking. This made my heart flutter and I got emotional from that. But one part that really got me was the "Robin" aspect. Don't get me wrong I'm a die hard Outlaw Queen shipper, but somehow I literally cried my eyes out from this. I seen a few Outlaw Queen edits that got me emotional, but i guess just watching Regina's story and seeing how Robin helped her just hit me hard. In the end, this was an amazing experience and I thank you for doing this. The work that was put into this, the blood, sweat, and tears, it shows so much in this and that is truly is inspiring. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@simplymaterial]

Thank you SO much for your lovely comment! It's always so good to hear what people felt and when specifically. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, you described what I wanted this video to show. Show why we love Regina Mills, her journey and her development. It's SO great to hear you loved the family aspect, it's actually the aspect I'm most insecure about. So to hear that it touched you makes me really glad. Comments like yours make all that hard work absolutely worth it. Thank YOU for taking the time to comment your thoughts and feelings, that means a lot to me!!

[@jouissance9283]

Okay girl, this is a masterpiece. I can't even imagine how much time you put into making this. I LOVE the fact that you included so much with Henry and Snow. And all those scenes with her father and the parallels. Guh. My heart. I cried at least 6 separate times. Absolutely amazing.

[@muhammadmehdi1415]

I'm gonna rewatch it now

[@barbieclips_]

i just came back to watch this for like the billionth time♥️

[@carmen_0434]

God; this made me grin, cry, laugh and feel so many emotions mixed up together that I could no longer define them. An absolute masterpiece!

[@gandrewlee3]

I always end up coming back to this video. It’s clear you understand Regina and her story. I guess I personally always loved her because she is such a believable character with her development. The bits with Cora especially played a huge part and you captured those defining moments perfectly. Quite honestly, I like Regina for personal reasons. The relationship between them mirrors the one I have with my father in a symbolic kind of way.

[@EvelynFox06]

Thank you for this! I am addicted to Lana ❤❤❤

[@yasmienkhan4230]

This is an absolute masterpiece, I couldn't keep track of the number of times I cried during this tribute. You put a lot of effort into this study and I just finished watching the last season again so it felt like a goodbye to Regina Mills and to the show in general. Thank you for this touching piece of work!!

[@puzzlepiece10]

This video is amazing!!!! Good job. Regina Mills was one of the best character evolutions I have seen on TV.

[@adcedits8049]

This video is so amazing! This is art, you probably spent weeks of not months trying to find the right scenes, the editing, the over voices, the writing and everything. I have to tell you that this is stunningly overwhelming. As an editor myself I was thinking how I could do this myself but it seems there's so much work in it, it is seriously amazing , I hope you'll gain as much as you deserve on it because you deserve 1M views seriously.

[@simplymaterial]

Thank you so so much for your lovely comment! As an editor I trust you know how much work it takes haha. So much planning and editing. But comments like yours make that all worth it, so thank you!! 1M would be the dream haha ♥️ So happy you enjoyed it!

[@maddieamelie4340]

this is so beautiful to see Regina’s life all pieced together! i cried through so much of this tribute because it just shows how she went from pure and innocent to evil and how happy she was with Henry and how their relationship took a turn as he got older and...i have no words🥺THIS DESERVES AN AWARD!! incredible job!

[@sarazapadka1007]

Wow! Beautiful masterpiece! I never knew I could cry and smile so much in the same video! Lana has portrayed every version of Regina so flawlessly ❤️ long live the queen!

[@lisabaumard1242]

This is an amanzing work of art! I can't tell when I cried the most (her family, Robin, Happiness) and I laugh so hard with the Sassy Mills part ! You honestly created the best, most inspiring, and perfect description of this amazing character. I'm gonna watch it again right now

[@lenaschubert5533]

I loved every second of this video. Regina has been my favorite characters since the beginning of the show. And although I'm not the biggest fan of the last couple of seasons, she's the reason why I continued watching. I'm so happy that the writers gave her such an impressive and extensive storyline and Lana being the amazing actress she is portrayed every facette of both Regina and the Evil Queen perfectly. The lesson we learned is that we all got both light and darkness inside us, there is no black and white areas when it comes to personality, and while we should embrace every part of us, we can always work on bettering ourselves.

[@oliwiakierska8617]

Her character development is just wow🤯🤯 also the way you showed her point of view made me want to cry the whole way through. Amazing!!

[@VanillaKitty1997]

this is so so amazing and I cant even begin to describe how amazing this is. I cant even imagine how many HOURS was put into this. But this is so fantastic and touching and everything was so good. Music, scene selections, quotes, voiceovers, and editing was all so perfect and amazing and man this was simply wonderful. Thank you.

[@simplymaterial]

Thank you so much for this lovely comment! It means the world that you appreciate the effort it took to make this, thank you!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!

[@VanillaKitty1997]

I can imagine just how tough it was so good for you!!!

[@taz1728]

This video, character analysis, much like the character is so beautifully layered and complex- so many different threads that all combine to create this wonderful piece of fabric that is and forever will be stitched into our lives- that at the end of it all and after all these years has formed a special place in my heart and has left me (in the words of Rebecca Mader) in a blubbering mess. I don't think they should continue and as much as I may have been and still do ship SwanQueen, I've always wanted her happy ending to be for her to find peace and find that spirit and zest that she once had as a young woman. I wanted her to smile at the world and teach others to have *Hope*, the kind that essentially made the Charming clan (little Mills inc.) who they are, for without it you have nothing...

[@THEKINGOFGAYMUSIC]

First and, foremost I watched every second every moment of Once Upon a Time... It's my favorite show period. Regina is my favorite character on the show because, I understand her rage and, anger, I have a mother like Cora.. I was given up a birth like Zelena. Her whole life reminds me of my trauma filled life, but this character study is absolutely flawless. It's like seeing her in a different way. Whoever you are you are brilliant. Please do more of these. I watch this everyday. It deserves millions of views.

[@hannahemmoore]

This is beautiful I cried the whole freaking time. This is perfect, the music, the timing, the scenes, the way you told her whole story and showed all of her side's, omg. I love Regina she is the person I want to be; a strong, independent, loving, realistic, and honest about who she is. After I watched this, I feel bad for her, people used her hatred for other people. Even after she changed, gave Henry to Emma, Emma took advantage and acted like a mom, making Regina out to be a monster, it took a long time for everyone to truly forgive her. Because you know no one actually forgave her for a while, not Henry, snow, Charming, especially emma (we know who are and who you will always be!?) You could just see her downward spiral, with the combination of her mother, Daniel's death, not being able to have Henry love as much as she loved him, and what she called her parents mother and daddy, I mean come on. Also you did a great job, it didn't seem like an hour.

[@darenapetkova7539]

The most beautiful OUAT related video I’ve ever seen. Thank you for creating this masterpiece. God bless Lana for the great work she did on this show! She deserves so much recognition and praise for that! OUAT does in general, there’s not a single person who should not see this show and think about everything it posses and tries to teach us. Once again, thank you for making this video! Now I have a visual argument to why I love this show so much!

[@abbieschneider9635]

please make more videos like this. not this long of course but just keep creating things like this. Incredible. I cried so hard.

[@mkitten13]

Wow, just wow, I just stumbled across this one and it's amazing, major kudos for the dedication it took to create something like this.

[@luziatudobemvincente.6494]

Oi, eu

[@faithwhite4345]

I feel bad for Regina after watching the Henry section Like emma, even though shes the birth mother, just came and literally took reginas son like ???? Henry is her son too, that doesnt change just because you want him again

[@pseudorealidad7305]

Masterpiece. Excellent work! I can't express how much i love Regina story. And her development through the years. Also, Regina story isnt over. And i'm sure Lana will take care of Regina in her new phase or new life. Amazing 6 years and it was delightful to watch this journey. Thank you so much for this vídeo.

[@dazzlingburritoes5693]

I love this. I almost cried on henry and robin parts 😭

[@EnchantedlyHooked]

This took a while to watch, I had to watch it in increments, but OH MY GOODNESS IT IS BEAUTIFUL :,) You executed her story so well, and I even teared up a little I LOVE! For sure going to come back to this and watch it some other time as well. JUST AMAZINGLY EPIC

[@fgeignakoruruslashfliperam8989]

I ALWAYS watch this masterpiece. And yes, I ALWAYS CRY.

[@trillerkiller9839]

You still watching?

[@roschellemr2228]

I must say that I have been disappointed with the show's storyline nowadays but this video really made me see how wonderfully put together Regina's story was. A truly beautiful piece really opened my eyes and it made me see the character so much clearer. Thank you :)

[@kadidavis9119]
