You're comparing season 1 Regina with Regina at the end of season 3

And it wasn't like Emma and Henry were leaving right in that moment anyway And here is the devolution of a character. This is what Regina, the one who cared about Henry most of all, would have done and should have done. This is why there are people who claim that the character devolved, because they no longer act the way they would have when put in certain situations. I agree that she wouldn't have been agressive about it, but she would have done something, and the only reason she didn't was to push CS, nothing else. What are you even talking about? Why would Regina be worried at the end of Season 3 that Emma was going to take Henry away? I'm sure Regina would have said/done something if that was actually going to happen, but by 321/322, both Emma and Henry had their memories restored. Henry wasn't going to leave everyone without a fight. Regina didn't have to do anything. You just want to claim this show is ruining the characters, even when you point makes no sense. Like I'm sorry you wanted Emma and Neal to be a couple, or Emma and Regina to be a couple, or you just wanted Emma and Regina to be single the whole show, but that is not what the creators wanted. This is ridiculous. I don't ship anyone, especially not Regina and Emma. Funny how you think that way and Nicky somehow think I ship Emma and Hook. I wouldn't have a problem with Emma and Hook if it was developed naturally and wasn't forced on us. I'm talking about a NATURAL REACTION a character should have when they learn about a new information regarding something they care about. If you think that it's natural for Regina to be 'La La La' after hearing that her son MIGHT LEAVE her that's fine for you, it isn't fine for me and I'm allowed to say so. Your right, this is ridiculous. It is ridiculous to think your going to get "natural reactions" on a fantasy tv show. Or on any work of fiction, for that matter. Plot is what matters in fiction. That's why we don't see anyone eat or sleep or go to the bathroom unless it is plot important. If you want to see "natrual reactions" go the your local mall and people watch. 1. Rude.

2. LOL. Characters are not important, they are just there to drop plot on theme. Right? Wrong. The characters should still react and have emotion realisticly in a fantasy setting, which is what supposed to make them relatable. More importantly, their behavior and their personality should stay consistent and based on what was shown previously. They should not get personality transplant everytime it's inconvenient. But I guess that's not matter to you, you've already said you watch it for their "spins" on stories (aka Disney cosplay).

3. The original poster clearly made this thread to rant about the show, why did you enter to this thread if it bothers you so much ti see people exchange their disappointments from the show? Doesn't bother me, people are allowed to do whatever they want, but you don't seem to enjoy reading criticism about this show. Basically, I echo what Esk said above this post, as far as important elements in fiction, that people are pointing out legitamate things, and that this is not a rant thread. The only thing I'd have to add is that I don't watch the show for "Disney cosplay". How they intrupet classic stories and how they are adding new Disney properties into the show for psudo-sequels are two totally different things. In fact, I am not a huge fan of what they did with Frozen and Brave, and thought it derailed the show a bit. I accept it, because I accept the choices creators make with their properties, but it is not the way I personally wanted them to take the show.
