Cruella being born evil... Who thought I would find yet another reason why 4B goes totally against the Show's concepts and themes? So much for evil being made and not born.

In case you don't know what I'm talking about, I always argue that 4B contradicts the whole theme of the show: the way I see it, Once Upon a Time has always been about showing that there is no such a thing as an iconic villain or hero, rather real people with real problems and real personalities. No one is an "good old wise king", an "wicked witch", or a naive and nice 100% kind princess. They are human beings. All Season 4B was show us that these people actually identify themselves as heroes and villains (which is probably the most childish concept I've ever seen on a show that is not aimed for children, and is completely unrealistic) who actually think they are good or evil, light or dark, and want "villains to win". In real life, and in all of the previous episodes, people just want to win for what they personally consider to be best. Regina spent decades claiming the "Evil" tag was imposed by the Charmings, and that she was actually fighting to right a wrong. Rumplestiltskin did EVERYTHING he did, just to save his son. But 4B? 4B was all about self-acclaimed villains wanting a happy ending for the Villain Community lol

PS: Rumple is probably the most evil character ever.
