So if you ever invite me to try your beef stew, I won't expect it to have the same taste as the one my mother makes and even if I don't like the meal you made I most certainly won't blame you for not making it the same way my mother does :) XD Very true. But I think some fans think they are open to the twists and find out they're not. One of my acquaintances liked the show until "Ariel"; she simply hated "how Ursula and Ariel were handled" (her words) and refuses to watch anymore. I can understand this, in a way. I don't think I'd stop watching altogether, but different people draw their lines differently. Wait, what? Out of every character on this show Ariel and Ursula (well Regina's Ursula at any rate) we're handled almost exactly how they are in the Disney movie, both appearance and personality wise. If they want a live action version of The Little Mermaid, Disney has a wonderful Broadway musical for them to see. Furthermore, to stop watching the show because you dislike how two side characters are handled is just ridiculous, especially if you've enjoyed the previous 2 seasons. Also, I would think by the time we got to Season 3, everyone would understand how this show works: Red Riding Hood is the Wolf, Snow White's Evil Queen's Mother is Rumple's Miller's Daughter while also being the Queen of Hearts from Wonderland, and Jack (and the beanstalk) is a girl. This is not just a simple retelling of fairy tales, and was never advertised as such! As far as I'm concerned they can twist away.
