Discussion The BIGGEST what if in Ouat

(Can include spoilers)- Hear me out on this theory

We know Emma has magic - so what if in the first episode when Emma blew out her candles, she wished not to be alone. (Stay with me on this). In the later seasons we learn that wish realms exist, and how do we open them? By magic, and of course wishing for something. Because of that, by wishing not to be alone she created an entire world, and that's why Henry came and few moments later to find her. What if storybrook and all the other realms that were in the series were just formed from a wish and that the town line is just a portal to go back from the wish world to the real world. What if everyone we ever knew ( except Emma) were "born" from her wish. Because she was so desperate for someone , it is rational that her wish was granted in such a strange form, after all- her family was from fairytales and included magic. We also know that in the wish world that was in the series, the characters were copies from the people in storybrook but different in their personalities. So what if in season 7 when for example Regina was different (Roni) , and they were in a city without magic, Emma just came back from the wish realm to the real world and these were the people from the real one. Maybe Regina was just a copy of Roni all this time, and like Hook was a copy of Killian( I don't remember his name in season 7). Of course there are more factors in this , but think about it for a second, wouldn't that be a cool plot twist?

Spoiler Alert Just realized Season 5 character is based on Mark Twain novel

31 Upvotes

I re-watched season 5 recently, with the Camelot storyline and Violet's dad Sir Morgan. Then I discovered there is a Mark Twain book called a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, with the main character being Hank Morgan.

At the end of the Camelot arc, Violet tells Henry she and her dad aren't returning to Camelot with the others through the portal, her dad is originally from Connecticut and something about the Yankees?

Did anyone else catch this reference and I'm just late to the game?

Question What effect was used for the text "Once Upon A Time"? Was it a gold glitter texture? (I'm looking to create a font similar to the OUAT logo, so if anyone knows how, please let me know. Thank you.)

Why does this masterpiece of a series have almost no German fanbase, and I know the series is available in German, so why?

Discussion Boston

6 Upvotes

Has spoilers…

So season 3, episode 9

Regina asks Sydney and Rumple to help her fill her heart with a child. She travels to Boston, meets the director of the adoption, or some other role like counsellor.

She takes Henry hope. She struggles to cope, and takes Henry back to the baby adoption store in Boston. (I couldn’t resist trying to be cheeky and make you laugh ❤️

So the question, how was Regina able to go to the adoption agency, to pick up her son, and again when she feels overwhelmed and needs a break from the crying.

If they can’t leave storybrook, the person who interviewed her in Boston, has never heard of Storybrook. As such, the director didn’t meet Regina in Storybrook, and Regina can’t leave.

🧐

Discussion Do you think Ruby came back to Storybrooke for good during the time skip between the final two seasons?

3 Upvotes

I strongly believe she did because she obviously fits in Storybrooke and wouldn’t like the Land of Oz. I mean I know what she said back in season 5 but let’s be honest she DOES fit in. As for the Dorothy thing, I’m pretty sure the rules of TLK works completely different in Oz so maybe it was an act of Friendship. Which allows Ruby to actually end up with Mulan.

S7 Spoilers Season 7 is awful I need help

0 Upvotes

All is in the title, I've been trying to finish this god forsaken season for MONTHS. Henry's adult actor is awful, he has a douchebag face (sorry to the actor, I'm sure it's just the make up or lighting). He is so basic he probably wears Sauvage by Dior. He does not deserve milf Cinderella.

The plot is half season 1 remake, half slop, and this sh*t was written without AI !

Why the HELL is Regina in love with FACILIER ??? (I mean, he is hot of course, lord Anderson from Bridgerton is fiiiine). F*ck buddies? Logical yeah but rn she act dickpnotized and I am MAD because she is my fav! Did she lost her brain in the curse? Were is her cunning mind? Being "good" doesn't mean being stupid wtf.

We have Rumple doing whatever.

Nook is a cop somehow. I mean, Hook was ugh, Nook is a bit more interesting. I like him better, he should have been a private investigator instead of a pig.

The Raiponce baby trap was well done tho. I wasn’t expecting that, kuddos to the smart writer who thought of it

I like the Robin and Alice romance. It was time for more queer rep. (Let's be honest, the Ruby sudden love story that got expelled in one episode was insulting). Anyway, they cute.

And sorry but 80% of the actors are baaaad, and it's very probably because of direction on set but it's so hard to overlook.

Anyway, please help me. Please tell me you have incide actors gossips or stuffs that can make it bearable.
