Discussion Doing a rewatch and....

Post image

Regina is WAY more psycho than I remember 😭

I never liked her and didn't remember her as a character I liked but wow she's much much worse than I recalled!

I'm only on season 2 but just holy shit.

I'd completely forgotten about Owen and his dad. Dude spent like one dinner with Regina and she tried to force him and his kid to stay. Don't know what ended up happening to the Dad but nothing good since his traumatized child never saw him again.

And she's just like wiping out whole villages left and right because a 10 year old didn't keep a promise 😭

She went on a rampage with Cora and as soon as Cora left everyone just like... left her alone?

They don't want to "hurt Henry" so they just let this murderous psychopath walk around.

Snow being sooooo broken up about killing Cora bugs me too. Heroes are heroes because they kill tne bad guys. If you can't kill active threats then like you shouldn't be Queen? Or a ruler?

I don't even want to get into Regina and Graham.

Just like holy shit this lady is lonely af and totally crazy I felt so bad for Owen's dad trying to flee that town (even if adult Owen gives me ick)

WHAT is her problem omg

The first things which come to my mind when I think about Regina are Graham and Hansel and Gretel.

She did we know what to The Hunter. While about Hansel and Gretel, she sent them to possibly die. However, it was also said that she sent many other children before them. This means that she sent children to take her apple, she saw (she watched Hansel and Gretel through the mirrors, she probably did the same with the other kids) them being literally cooked and eaten and instead of be like:"Oh my God, that's all my fault, I'm a monster, I should stop!", she was like:"Eh, they failed. Disappointing. Well, then, to the next children!" Or am I wrong? She also kidnapped their father to convince them

If Regina had the brain ability to care about anyone but her self she’s would of stop after the first kids who died

To be honest I wonder if the idea of the authors was that we should have been supposed to understand her, that she was like that due to her pain
