They had an easy enough route to it via first adding characters from the animated Hercules (Hades would have been epic!) and having that introduce the idea of gods. Gods give us Odin and Thor and from there it's straight to Marvel.

I found it the most frustrating that they redeemed him for the end of season 3, then went right back to the town disliking him and him constantly turning to the dark side again. I was happy with the direction they took him for the final season though. He actually spent that season sticking to a good set of morals.

He spends years trying to do this and ends up becoming quite selfless in the process which I appreciate. But yeah, the UP thing is very true

Regina's whole story is she gets close to being happy and then someone intentionally or accidently ruins her happiness. I know she tries to be good for Henry but like the show never lets her enjoy being happy.

[@heatherparisi8250]

she ruins her own happiness

[@animasuperfreakgirl]

Dude she gaslit Henry for years and still blames others when he gets made about that. She decided not to meet her true love when she had the chance then blames Emma for doing the right thing by saving someones life because Robin can’t/won’t now be with her. A nice chunk of the time it’s her own fault (or at least not anyone else’s) that she’s not happy. Even when it’s not her fault the world doesn’t really own the person who massacred a whole village because she had a bad anything. Like she had bad life but so did half the cast. Though it does get annoying to have constantly rest to an unhappy state but honestly I was never convinced that she had grown as character to a point where she should have a “happy ending “ just the show tossing things at her. She and rumple are the best characters though.

[@drm726]

Once Upon a Time started strong. The first three seasons were so good. There were three big issues that caused it to go downhill. The first is that they kind of stopped adapting characters and started pulling them directly from the source material, making them less interesting (The Frozen arc was especially bad about this, as all the characters looked and acted one to one exactly like the movie versions). The second is that every new character they introduced HAD to have a previous interaction with one of the main cast. This limited they storytelling of new characters backstories, as well as straining credulity. The third is that the longer it went on, the more and more the series started to contradict its own lore, and the main cast’s backstories and motivations. It made it really hard to follow by the end because nothing made sense anymore based on what we had learned before.

[@JotaC]

Yeah, that's why they needed to add time travel, dimensional travel, the Hades to bring back the dead, and all of that, cause they simply couldn't fit other characters with new storylines, they literally had to resurrect older ones.

[@mikurtis1767]

Thankfully, the FROZEN arc was only the first half of the season. Though the last few episodes of that arc were good with a good villain... Elsa's aunt... who REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN Elsa. The aunt was more like "The Snow Queen" from the fairy tale FROZEN was based on. I actually enjoyed season 7... I know nobody else did. But it was a huge improvement I felt over Seasons 4, 5, and 6...

[@wirginiamobillio]

More like a copy of him, not the original one since the storyline is completely different in this show. Each fairytale is set originally in different eras so the characters were never supposed to meet in the first place but this series put every character in the same timeline. This series is a one big fanfiction fairytale spinoff, with characters that act like americans rather than acting like europeans (most of them have american accents) that they are based on. Reminds me of marvel multiverse with timelines mashed together

I want to see a diagram of Henry’s family tree because I’m pretty sure he is related to every major fictional character in literature through some connection… 14:17 whoops, spoke too soon, thanks for the hook up Billaim lol

[@aisadal2521]

OMG, I never knew how much I needed you to cover OUAT until I got the notification! I haven't been around in a while, so I can definitely say this was such a pleasant surprise! So happy to see you still going strong, Billiam! Been around since the Digimon videos 🥰

[@Ghost-lt4sf]

I gasped when I saw it in my notifs haha so exciting

[@LydiaKrow]

I loved this show! It's the only soap opera I've ever been able to watch, though full disclosure I didn't make it through all the seasons. I feel like there are two types of fan for this show: those who get the campy drama and enjoy it, and those who take it seriously and try to defend it. I'm in the "enjoy the campy drama" camp. I actually loved the Peter Pan season, and the kid who played him was awesome. Some of my favorite characters were the dwarves, the Huntsman, Hook (grr), Rumple (that dude threw himself into his role) and the Evil Queen. I also loved the crazy ups and downs with the Robin Hood / Evil Queen romance. I can't imagine watching it as a kid, though - not sure what would interest kids about this show. As much as I enjoyed it, I couldn't tell you much of what happened in that show or what season it happened in. I know I didn't see all seasons, but not even sure where I stopped. :D

[@genericname2747]

Fun Fact: Henry is related to you. He is your step-half brother twice removed

[@renahime_]

no, he's actually your uncle, get it right 😡

[@SingingDragons11]

My favourite part was when they killed Henry’s father, for no other reason than they wanted Emma with Hook but they didn’t want her to actually make that decision. Because that could have been interesting.

[@heatherparisi8250]

[@mse90]

The rabbit hole of Once Upon A Time is truly unending (unlike its spin-off show, Once Upon A Time in Wonderland which died upon arrival, RIP). My favorite thing about the later seasons is that they did a soft reboot for season 7... and it actually helped?? Mostly because the new characters didn't have previous on-screen growth that the show would've undone, lmao.

Every season is the best season It’s popcorn comfort tv and will always be a unique special gem and will always have a place in my heart

The flashbacks serve as a parallel. To portray a lesson or theme that the character in the present needs to reestablish. It's actually pretty poetic and helps give more insight to the audience

I got as far as Season 5 with the Arthurian mythos. After that I trailed off 'cause I didn't like what they were doing to it. But Belle banishing Rumple remains one of my top painful moments.

[@LittleBitVic]

I sat relatively chill, cat in my lap, inexpressive to this video... until 14:13 hits. Then, the dam burst, laughing, wheezing, coughing, choking -- all to a meme I've seen hundreds of times before. Editor's timing, man. Beautiful.

I don't care what anyone says, OUAT was an amazing show! The mystery aspect of it made it very worthwhile.

[@courtneyvoehl8481]

The one fun fact thing I know about this show is that the Wicked Witch looks gross because the green used for the original Wizard of Oz Witch is trademarked so they had to use a really sweaty and gross off brand shade of green

[@BlueHazyDreams]

Is it different from Elphaba's green or is that trademarked as well? Elphaba's skin always looked good.

[@Rose-np8qv]

It looks like they just like. Didn't set it. Powder it down, get some hairspray. Come on.

[@GummyDinosaursify]

@@Rose-np8qv You also have to remember these actors are on SUPER lighted green screen sets. It would be ridiculously hot and have no fans due to messing up the green screen.

[@theflickchick9850]

You really started the video with the one clip I not only forgot about watching but gave me the most intense flashbacks once it appeared. I have seen enough of this show so that it sticks in my brain (like the whole arc about Daniel coming back) but not enough for it to seem like anything less than a fever dream.

[@thecatladytm7172]

I have completely forgotten how far into this show I got, but I absolutely loved it as a kid. Thought it was peak storytelling because of how connected everything was.

[@joelman1989]

So I’m not saying it’s necessarily goood storytelling. But it is kind of impressive how the writers are able to continue to integrate so many new characters and complexities to the plot.

[@goldgarchomp4592]

You know i feel I'm one of the few who actually like season 4 even the frozen based first half. Also only true OUAT fans know the insane flooding back of memories when the frozen 2 trailer said that arendel was next to an "enchanted forest" cause legit thats exactly how the geography works in once upon a time.

[@alyssas2807]

captain hook and emma swan were my bisexual awakening

[@calicoinz]

the reason that they went from emma and henry losing their memories to suddenly playing diablo was because they went on a long hiatus in the middle of s3 for some reason LMAO but its definitely jarring rewatching it or watching it for the first time without a break

[@goldenhand9107]

please tell me there's a part 2 where you cover Maleficent's daughter who came from a dragon egg or King Arthur being evil and that the dark one's dagger is the tip of Excalibur is or that the Jekyll and Hyde serum made an evil doppelganger of the Evil queen or ANY of the craziness that was season 7, including, but not limited to, Hook's daughter being Alice from Alice in Wonderland, the regular world being retconned into a world that previously had magic but then Mother Gothel from Tangled nuked the world and restarted evolution without magic so she canonically watched fish evolve into humans, and lastly there's a new version of the Enchanted Forest that's time dilated so they could age henry up and cast a new actor but still keep the other actors. i left a very similar comment on the previous video but i will never get over how wild the later season stuff is

My flatmate at uni was bingewatching this show on netflix and it would often be on when I came into the kitchen, I would watch bits and pieces with her and it seemed insane.

You didn't even get to the part where they genuinely tried to present Cruella as a powerful sorceress who could hold her own with Ursula and Maleficent. They gave her the power to control dogs, that's enough of a threat to the main characters right?

She could control all animals not just dogs and also she was cunning and managed to kidnap Henry, and would have been able to kill him if not for the authors restrictions on her. She's no Regina but I thought she was a good addition (plus omg her and Ursula were adorable together)
