[@pinkiebee2903]

they went a little too "Disney" with Anna and Elsa they shouldn't have made their costumes like straight out of the movie might have hit different

[@sagekiessling2608]

I see your point but I actually thought Anna's dress was quite good. It, to me, didn't look costume-y and looked quite different from everyone else since she was from a different land.

[@lisavanselow7451]

Disney had very strict rules for Frozen to become part of OUAT. They didn't allow the creators to change the costumes and also didn't want them to change the story too much.

[@MsKitkat5321]

The last season is what killed the show. The penultimate season should have concluded the entire show.

[@kmaaty]

I hated the last season, everything else was perfecr

[@curtyeomans8446]

Na, I knew people who watched the show every week for several seasons but started bouncing in seasons 4 and 5 because it started to lean too heavily into Disney. A friend of mine quit when the show went to the underworld from Hercules in the second half of Season 5. That was a bridge too far for her, especially when they gave Hades his blue flame hair and the CGI for it looked God awful

[@appigreen1559]

a lot of people quit at the half of season 5 because it is difficult to follow the entire plot (old characters coming back, old plot that you have forgotten, and so on). season 7 is one of my favourites

[@jamestolbert1856]

I hated season 7! I like the idea of the realms being together like Disneyland but looking back now, they should’ve remain separate

[@curtyeomans8446]

@@appigreen1559 I thought it was hilarious how they got to the end of the series finale and were like “Oh sh**, we forgot to reveal the identity of Lily’s dad like we teased THREE YEARS AGO,” so they just quickly threw in a line and revealed it to be the most preposterous choice possible (Zorro can turn into a dragon?!?)

[@Half_Blood_Hufflepuff]

I think it's weird that they never really change their outfits the whole time. Like I'm sure someone in Storybrooke is about Elsa's size, she doesn't have to wear that dress every episode

[@Donovan_oryx924]

Merchandise.

[@aliceblack1565]

Plus she literally made her dress out of ice. She could have made another one.

[@vikkidonn]

Yeah I was done the minute they started adding in modern characters. Because the explaination for them not being in storybrooke from the start was piss poor as far as I’m concerned. There was still enough classic fairytales Disney or not that could have been explored before bringing in properties only a couple years old.

[@katelyntaylor7384]

I would have liked this arc so much more if they had given less focus to Anna and more to Emma's relationship with the Snow Queen. We get so little of Emma's past. I wanted more information, or for that connection between the two to actually impact how they interact (maybe have Emma in the role Snow took with Regina in flashbacks, saying I know you were good, you can be good again) (maybe the Snow Queen rubbing salt in the wound with the Charmings by sharing details of what teenage Emma was like, a glimpse at what the Charmings know they can't get back) or something. It was such an interesting idea, and would have allowed them to show more of what Emma was like, but no.

[@milaalt1141]

I didn't like it because I felt like it derailed the whole show just for Elsa and Anna. This was not Once Upon a Frozen. Yes, some characters, like Hook, became important, but most characters had a few episodes to tell their stories. Elsa and Anna had a whole season.

[@sweeety969]

I had lost faith a bit by then but that was when it became clear they were just dragging it out for money. The half season arcs were cancer. The underdevelopment of pre-existing characters and plotlines was what needed to be addressed, we didn't need Elsa when last we heard of Cinderella she was a stay at home mom to a toddler...like what is she gonna do with her life? Just keep churning out babies? What about Mulan? Ruby? Etc

[@paulbrown9328]

@@greysiperez4652 I’d have to rewatch but I think season 1 and 7 are my favorite all around. After season 1 they didn’t give much focus or episodes to side characters to me until season 7. Even though it was basically a whole new set of actors and characters it gave light to all the characters they introduced throughout the whole season. Granted it’s understandable a lot of characters get left behind when there’s so many to juggle after season 1 but, that’s why I think the other seasons were worse because most of them felt to cluttered. Season seven fixed that with a half reboot and a full circle back to season 1 where Henry is the main character and he is now in Emma’s position from season 1. They also fixed rumples character in season 7 I hated his character most of the time after season 3. I wish season 7 rumple translated to season 4,5,6 where he was shady but his intentions and decisions were for all the characters he grew towards. Season 3 has the best character development for most of the characters, good villains and satisfying finales so I see why it’s majority of people fav. It’s definitely the best well written all around, the other seasons outside those 1/3/7 for me have some amazing moments and cool characters but are pretty average tv.

[@TheRanker77]

My only question is how did this show have a more accurate Anna and Elsa than Disneyland-

[@Megladon00]

I Know Right! Like..... I use to think that they were the voice actors.

[@mysterygirl6305]

It was arguably the last good arc. Season 5 had some good episodes here and there. But overall the quality did start to drop. The last season was especially awful minus the Alice story which was awesome. If the last season just build on that it could have gone somewhere. But it was such a mess without most of the main cast.

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

I'd say the best arc from Season 3 of Once Upon Time. Not to mention we get to see the Snow Queen

[@madeleine5561]

Nah season 4 wasn't great the Elsa Anna elements were too close to the OG story and The rumple side plot was HORRIFIC as it was the start of his repeated character assasination I ignore anything after season 3 you have a few high points but there's too much shoddy writing to slog through to reach them

I haven't watched this show for months. I forgot what my comment means, so I'm rewatching the show I'm currently on S2 E16

[@helRAEzzzer]

Elsa is from Hans Christian Anderson's "Snow Queen." I can see why the season annoyed people for being so Disney-fied, but that cliffhanger introducing her didn't even have her in the same dress and set her up as a villain like the fairytale. Her intro scene, I feel, fit in fine with previous things in OUAT. While I adored her arch and the creative merge of the fairytale and the Disney story that is, supposedly, based on it, I can understand why so many people were annoyed with it, but I will never understand the criticisms of the cliff hanger intro she got.

[@curtyeomans8446]

They weren’t allowed to make Elsa more like the snow queen from the story though. Disney put a condition in place that the show couldn’t change the Frozen characters at all and they could not ignore the events of the film either. They were allowed however to bring in an aunt who could be the snow queen as long as the Frozen characters were ultimately left unharmed and back to their original status quo, and sent back to their land at the end of the Frozen arc

[@Just.thinking.6789]

Literally one of my fav series

[@khloiotaku6073]

What doesnt help is the outfit. It just looks like cosplay. Most every other outfit for the fairytale people look really good and almost natural to them since its not really the 'Disney' versions we know. Do you know what I mean? They should've taken creative liberties with the dress and outfits of the Frozen characters to make it look less like a cosplay, you know? What works in animation doesnt always translate well to live action.

[@Nmagg1776]

I enjoyed the arc allot now they did not kill it and honestly as soon as Emma left the Emma left the show then it died

[@alexandraharden5872]

Honestly everything after the middle of Season 3 was a bit of a mess, the Elsa arc was better then later seasons but first two seasons were the best.

[@sweeety969]

It's when they started doing half-season to season-long arcs about other characters, or set in other universes that the story started to stagnate. This show is supposed to be cartoon princesses and other characters in reality, and instead..yeah.

[@loveandwar007]

The latter half of Season 2 was awful, but the Neverland arc in Season 3 was where the show peaked

[@wlas4146]

I have to two theories for why Rumple would want Cinderella’s baby: 1) As he gained the power of foresight, he knew he needed to make this deal in order to get a deal out of Emma so he can see his son one day 2) He planned on using the baby to lure his mother, the Black Fairy, to know why she abandoned him

[@madeleine5561]

Ummm mate it was implied already if not explained why he wanted the baby...it's reason 1 of yours he knew he needed to make the deal so he'd a) be imprisoned so the charmings would be able to easily come to him and feel safe doing so while snow was pregnant and b) so he could have leverage that would get the savior in his debt (likely didn't know specifics. That was sort of explained from context clues...not shocking everyone already knows that

[@Riskofrain527]

Season 4 was when the show went downhill a little, but not because frozen was added.

[@lh9591]

The thing is all the other fairy tales were twists on either the Disney or original sources. Elsa and Anna were literally just a continuation of frozen. The subsequent episodes were also continuity ish of Hans Christian Anderson’s The Snow Queen. Every other story was a mash up. Rumple with Snow White and Beauty and the Beast. It was unique.

Honestly this was what introduced me to Once Upon A Time. I didn't even watch Frozen or cared for it, but my Hulu account kept bringing up the Frozen season and I wondered how Frozen got a live action adaptation. So I watched Season 4 and then I decided I had to start from Season 1.

[@DarrenIreland-e3w]

this was one of the best seasons actually..... I really enjoyed how they expanded on Anna and Elsa's story to give them an aunt and I loved the way that she was a villain but her story and Redemption were so powerful and relatable.. the rest of the show after this season wss where stuff got boring.

[@madeleine5561]

@DarrenIreland-e3w the problem was the characters still pretty much minus the aunt had the exact same backstory as the Disney movie. That's not how once worked normally so it felt like a lazy copy past to most people. The snow queen stuff was decent but the Anna/Elsa stuff just felt like a sequel rather than a retelling. The characters were exactly who the Disney cartoon ones were in motivation and personality. It wasn't different enough and it wasn't helped by the fact that they walked around looking like a bunch of Disney park character employees Add on the horrific damage done to rumple's character and it was not a great season (im honestly more pissed about the rumple bit)

[@jessedellross3245]

Both actresses did a great job and the casting was perfect. They both looked like Elsa and Anna. The problem imo is that they didn’t take advantage of a golden opportunity: make Elsa a villain. My god how cool would that have been!!!! Elsa was turned evil for some reason and anna stands against her. Or she was always a villian and anna the rightful queen. The story practically writes itself!!!!!!!!! But nope, shes just bland and forgettable just like this arc was bland and forgettable

[@lisasophiekaps]

The thing is that the whole Disney movie that they clearly took the two from is based around how the sisterly love saved them in the end. Had they run with the original “Snow Queen” fairytale that would have been a different story, but not doing that but taking the Disney characters is what set that specific storyline idea up for failure imo. Making them turn against each other would have completely undone the idea of the movie.

[@AmethystOcean98]

I loved the Frozen arc. It was the Queens of Evil arc that came after this that was lame. Under utilizing the villainesses and regressing Gold's character by miles. But the Frozen arc was solid. We had great moments of tension for Emma and her and Hook were starting a relationship. Paired with the Elsa/Anna sisters parallel with Emma and Regina. Not to mention Elsa and Emma being like sisters in a way. It was pretty great.

[@CheshireCat037]

Now that I think about they really did under utilize the villains in 4B. I wish they gave us more backstory on Maleficent and Ursula. I think they did good on Cruella’s backstory, the episode “Sympathy for De Vil” always gives me chills. It showed both how she became a villain and some of the things that she did, with Maleficent and Ursula we didn’t get much insider info on them other than Ursula getting her tentacles and Maleficent losing her kid. With Ursula we were shown how she started her villainous path but not the path itself, like what has she done to be considered a villain? And with Maleficent we’ve been told that she’s done terrible stuff but why? In one episode when Regina meets Maleficent for the first time she tells her about Daniel and Maleficent says, “You lost someone too?” Who did Maleficent lose? Why is she this evil dragon lady? The writers could have given us info on how she started on her path to villainy but they didn’t.

[@476233]

While I do think they were undercut, I did like 4B. I think it really went off the cliff with the dark swan and underworld plots.

Sorry but for me the episode that really ruined things was when the charmings were both under the sleeping curse and the flash back plot revealed they both woke up earlier and sacrificed getting to Emma so everyone else could wake up.

I loved how they gave us totally new and interesting lore about Elsa and Anna (who were so perfectly cast btw) and their parents. Also, Emma's self-discovery and how it tied in with Elsa's struggles with magic was so powerful. Ingrid was such an intriguing and compelling villain with even more of a compelling redemption arc.

Canonically, she *is* rumored to be a sorceress; so the elements in that intro are very good and well-thought-through.

[@xelvriaa]

Last season literally shoved the show in a blender and turned it into one confusing show of a smoothie

[@chissstardestroyer]

Lets think about that fictional lady's situation for a moment: she's basically orphaned at say 15- she's *probably* a teenager, anatomically when that story crossover of a type hits in her lifestyle- which means certain events are almost assured: she's going to be prone to the same problems in judgement that many teens are: such as a drastic imbalance between courage and common sense. Teens are like that: their bravery and willingness to self-sacrifice far exceeds their own good judgement of what sacrifices to go for in the first place. Maybe ironically that's part of why in the real world teenagers are often targets for a malevolent hunter. For instance, in "Frozen 2" she's clearly dealing with a type of haunting, not unlike a type of Halloween-gone-crazy situation; still: I have to hand it to her to kind of demand of these entities trying to contact her what their IDs are- if only to know who to phone to get help- that's very wise, as she'd be firmly aware of from readings at Church, proviso that she's been given access to it as an individual. The *other* trajectory is infinitely far worse as far as abusive environments for teenagers: Marxism seems to gobble them up at a prodigeous rate- with the most malevolent results imaginable, and its correlary of atheism. I once as a youth guessed that to be a teenager is akin to being a young herd animal: you're in the *worst* mix of overconfidence and lacking training imaginable, with everything that would hunt you beginning to eye you.

[@entertainer1987]

Having 'Frozen' on the show actually looked good on paper. The film was actually loosely based on the fairy tale 'The Snow Queen' by Hans Christian Andersen. However, the story for the show felt forced and not well-written.

[@puppiesgacha2948]

Eh I think it died when they started jumping back and forth to the afterlife. That added so much random lore and felt like it ruined and undid a main plot point.

[@inkheart151]

The frozen arc didn’t KILL OUAT, but it WAS the start of its downfall. Because it was evident they couldn’t think of other fairytales to add to the mix. (Like, oh I don’t know…Princess and the pea, Princess and the frog, donkey skin, the white cat, etc). Instead of coming up with more cohesive story arcs, (the snow Queen was actually really good and I think tied into frozen decently, so I can’t complain too much there), but it started the revival of characters, repeating plot lines, plot holes, miscast characters, and deconstructing character arcs for the sake of drama. So…I would honestly say that the “pregnant zelena”/Camelot arc was where everything started going wrong. “Nimuae will help you” my foot!!!

Elsa and Annas debut is my least favourite out of the fairytales that were introduced, but I wouldn't say it ruined the show.

It got convoluted with bringing Maleficent back from "the dead" adding Ursula, but not the one we knew before who was kinda like an old Goddess. Cruella did bring something to the season because we hadn't seen a different, better version of her and her story was actually quite good. Every season after that definitely had good episodes/concepts but weren't really done very well. On the bright side, the costumes/clothes 👌💯😘
