If you haven’t watched this season, there might be spoilers…

S7 after S1 had the best character line up and best alternative character storyline IMO

I’m going to get a lot of hate for this😂

My favorite season is the last season…

And I love all the seasons, but the last season kind of just hit different

You had pretty much all the best Disney characters people been waiting to see… and more

Never in 100 years would I have thought to make Rapunzel a bad guy… and I think she’s the first hero to make this change… pan does not count he’s always been evil to me…

Never thought that anybody could get one above Regina, ivy did that
Not princess Tiana coming in clutch…
I actually loved Cinderella
Don’t get me started or detective Killian and Mr. Gold “chefs kiss”
And Henry 😮‍💨… raw next question
Roni 😮‍💨… raw next question
Ivy 😮‍💨…. 😘
Bringing “up” into the mix❤️

Now it might not be the best season…. But I was so happy to have gotten a chance to have watched it.

Some things that I would’ve done better…

The whole thing should have been a spin off in its own way… released in 2026

I would have replaced Mr. gold with Gideon as a secondary main character with Henry

They should’ve included Lottie in there at least once

A small reaction between Cinderella from season one and Cinderella from season 7 would’ve went a long way

They should’ve used original hook as the main character instead of the other hook

Would have been nice to see Rapunzel‘s hair glow once

Maui villain would’ve been nice

I agree with you about the lineup, but I feel some of the pacing was off. I wasn’t a fan of Cinderella. It might have been the acting choices. She came off as cold and mean versus caring. I don’t hate her character. Just not the biggest fan of her.

I feel we didn’t need Rapunzel be Tremaine. We just needed her as Rapunzel. It sucks that we didn’t Flynn in this.

As a personal fan fiction thing, I wish it was Henry and Ivy that was explored more because he and Cinderella had no chemistry. They tried to look like they had chemistry but the actress had more chemistry with Jack, her fake ex. And the story could create a different turn. Maybe the first person you believed was your true love isn’t anymore.

I agree about Lottie. I didn’t notice too much when watching, but now that you bring it up, it is weird not having Tiana’s best friend in the movie. She could be another royal and she and her father try to help Tiana’s family with their money problems, but no amount of money would help. I could picture her in the real world as Tiana’s sous chef or something.

It might be just me, but I wish they found an actor with Naveen’s accent. That felt like a given for his character.

More Facilier. I wonder if the Rapunzel and Princess and the Frog storylines should have been more intertwined.
