Ok. Saw it. Here I go

The BAD

- This Jacinda/Cinderella girl is totally off. The scene when she is about to stab the prince and suddenly changes her mind is terribly acted. Like for real. It seems she was only reading the script. The character was about to kill someone and then started having second thoughts about it. She needed to show like some internal conflict. But there she was like... "guess what? You won't die today LOL"

-How did Lady Tremaine even know Cinderella was planning to kill the prince? Like Cinderella told her what she was planning to do or what? This Lady Tremaine is like the first one in 6x03: She took the key, opened the door then just went to the LoUs without even knowing what was the portal for. She was like "Hey, a magical portal! Let's go in"

-I have serious issues with Cinderella being latina because of her accent. How are they going to explain that in the context of the Magical Forest? In HH it works, because Jacinda could be an inmigrant. But in the Magical Forest? Like there is a Mexico Realm there or what?

-Ugh that kid Lucy.... My god. She will be more annoying than Henry. Her acting is inconsistent. Just like Jared Gilmore's who acted better only when he was with Lana or JMo

-Also, I'm having troubles suspending my disbelieve that Luacy is Henry's daughter. Couldn't they get a girl who looked a little bit more biracial?

-While they called this a soft reboot, it failed to explain the rules of the curse to the (hypothetical) new viewers. I mean, we know that happened because we saw season 1-6, but  new viewers would be like "wtf am I watching??" So, it wasn't really a reboot

-Victoria's introduction was a poor man's The Devil Wears Prada. They could have done it a lot better without almost an exact copy. Heck, even Ivy was the character played by  Emily Blunt. When there are certain references here and there is funny, but this was almost plagiarism

-Victoria/Lady Tremaine face acting was just.... not there. Like the woman had the same face during the whole thing. Too much botox I presume. I think they are going for Regina 2.0 but I don't know if this going to work. Every time S1 Regina was on the screen it was just delicious, but with Victoria is like Ugh...

-Ok, we got it. This is a feminist take on. So, she is a though girl because she punches someone in the face and steal his bike right? right? Wrong! That was so cheap and unsophisticated. Snow became a bandit because The Evil Queen was chasing her. She had no choice. But here Cinderella physically assaulted a guy to go to the ball and kill anothjer guy. What the hell was that?

-I hope the prince is not dead. He could be a nice villain. And a nice red herring for the curse caster. I mean there is magic in that would. I assume he has someone (Like Snow and Charming had Blue) who can heal him with magic

-Did Alice just took Henry from the palace to her cave like in front of everyone? Or she used magic to teleport him there? In that case she didnt really need to use the drink

-Weaver man is just Gold 2.0. Nothing interesting. They could have done something a lot more interesting with him
