“Wait is Rumple bad again?” Girl I’ve watched the entire series twice and I still ask myself that every episode

[@neivilde.1242]

honestly you can put on any episode of the show and genuinely ask that question like oh what is he today, good or bad?

[@lauz2486]

the writers pushed him to be "the villain" at all times even though he really wasn't; I mean, other villains were and did worse things than him, and he was only a villain because he had an "evil spirit" inside him.

[@bpsara]

Tbh at this point I just assume he's always bad

[@neivilde.1242]

@@lauz2486 yeah, at first the whole point of his character was like, can the beast actually be good, is someone who did terrible things for good reasons evil, they were asking all the questions with him, and he was the guy you never knew if you could/should trust or hate because he always had hidden motives, but at some point it just became about well he might as well be the bad guy this arc and we'll make him good the next, until season 7 when they finally decided to give him his final redemption

[@Concerned_Kitten]

I kinda felt like that cuz she sounded like she was just speaking with a rhythm, like she was fighting the curse cuz... Well she didn't like it.

[@BeeKee404]

Yeah her real singing voice really shows in the final song. To be clear though, I don't think her lower voice is really all that bad. I could tell she was doing that thing where she was singing/talking while also in character as Regina in The Queen Sings and when she sings Love Doesn't Stand A Chance, I could tell she was going for the kind of rocker vibe. I think the vocal range she did fit well with the song and her normal vocal range probably wouldn't sound right. Now this is coming from someone who isn't a vocal coach and this is purely my own personal opinion.

@@Ganychan I know. The fact here was that everything was already scheduled, and his partners had other projects starting as soon as they finish with the filming, so, he thought that if he say something about his foot, the filming would have to be postponed until he was okay, and that would set the others behind with his other projects. That's why he didn't say anything to anyone, and they continued with the filming and everything. If you see the season finale, he was with a cast in his foot...

As you’ve probably realised, the actor and actress portraying Charming and Snow are married in real life, so the absolute adoration you see on their faces is *true.* With Lana Parilla, portraying the Queen, that’s *not* her normal singing voice hence why it’s so deep. As for Hook’s actor, he’s naturally Irish, but had to sing in a British accent, so imagine the difficulties there as well as *breaking his foot* during performing the song!

[@borsteligel4862]

[@carlifruchtl6428]

Some basic info: The Wicked Witch (Zelena) and the Evil Queen (Regina) are sisters. The wicked witch has a baby with Regina’s now dead boyfriend because when he was alive the wicked witch tricked him into sleeping with her. (Side note: When Emma gave up Henry when he was a baby, Regina adopted him so she is his mother too.) Snow and Charming do have a baby because Snow was sad she didn’t get to raise Emma so they had a son in Storybrooke (the town they live in). The Black Fairy is Rumplestiltskin’s mother who also doesn’t age because of where she lives. And rumplestiltskin sometimes is good and sometimes is evil. Also, everyone has fairy tale names like Captain Hook, Snow White, Evil Queen. But they also have real names. (Like how Superman’s real name is Clark Kent) Captain Hook’s real name is Killian Jones and Prince Charming’s real name is David Nolan. I don’t know if that cleared anything up, because the show is veryyy confusing!! (Also I am so glad you watched the whole episode because I was dyingggg for you to hear Hook’s song!!!)

Lana does add a lot of rasp to her songs and to her voice when playing The Evil Queen. She Studied voice for 10 years to do that also.

And I’m her older roles she had a higher voice.

[@kelsienichole1049]

Emma's appearance was definitely altered after her return from being the Dark One (season 5) They put less makeup on her and had her hair up more. She definitely seemed drained, but I always thought it was intentionally done. Her voice also had a significant change. It was quieter, deeper, and has less emotion.

[@MastarNinja]

It could be due to the actress being done with the show (just a guess since she left the following season) or in-lore because of the toll of her being freed of the Dark Ones corruption and having gone to the underworld. I personally never realized but I haven't watched it in a while.

“girl you keep saying that and you keep losing” IM SOBBING THIS WAS THE REACTION I NEEDED

[@Moooniiie]

“Why are they so calm about this” Because Hannah it’s not the first time it happen, they got so used at not dying

[@amandadockter9528]

Oh gosh your reaction throughout the episode. I just about died the whole time. I loved it! For Once Upon a Time some episodes can be long, some can be cheezy but what drew me to the show was the way they twisted the Fairy Tale stories and how they brought them into the show, and the actors/actresses are awesome.

[@Autumner42]

So to point out what's going on in the wedding dress scene; the Evil Queen is a hero now, the villain lady is the Black Fairy who is Rumpelstiltskin's mother and the "big baddy" to battle Emma for basically the fate of the fairytale worlds. This episode is the lead into the big final battle. Also, Rumplestiltskin at this point has discovered that he was actually meant to be born a savior like Emma, but his mother changed his fate. This point I loved because it gave him a final piece to his backstory that showed why he always craved power before he became the Dark One. Hope that helps! I know there's a few recap comments by now, but happy to help :) Ps, really love your reactions and tips on singing. They're really helping me establish a base of knowledge for when I start my own vocal lessons!

[@Chaotic.Clumsy]

Plus, I just realised this but you know how before Emma was born, she had huge potential for being bad and for being good. For Rumpel, it was probably the same and after the Black Fairy made him not the saviour anymore, I'm guessing he lost most of that potential to be good.

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

@@Chaotic.Clumsy The point about the balance of potential is really good! I forgot about that aspect because it's so close to the end of the show, it felt less tied up in the lore, but you're absolutely right!

This was such a fun reaction from beginning to end! If you're ever looking for more musical shows to react to, I *highly* recommend Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. There are multiple choreographed musical numbers in each episode, and they are all integral to the overarching plot of the series. It's definitely worth a watch for both the music and the story!

First of all: Killian is just 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. Second of all, why is it always sopranos=pretty princess, altos=evil villain lady? In my 17 years of life, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Disney princess sing a whole song without slipping into a pretty head voice.

Two years later but JUST in case no one said... The actor who plays Henry Mills is Jared S Gilmore. He was born in...... 2000! So during the filming of this he was actually probably 16 or 17 at most (it came out in 2017, but no clue when it was actually filmed). I wouldve also sworn he was an adult during this episode but nope. Not at all.
