Robin's role has become smaller and smaller towards the end of this season, and even his death felt very rushed to me. I don't know what kind of message the writers were trying to send by having this sudden tension between Robin and Regina concerning Zelena, which still didn't feel resolved between them at all by the time Robin died. I do think they have true love, but if Robin had stayed alive, I wonder if he and Regina would continue to be driven apart because she now trusts and forgives Zelena, while Robin is still iffy about her sister.

To be fair, I can see why Robin would continue to be distrustful of Zelena. I mean, yeah, the Marian glamour thing. Not only that, but she basically slept with Robin while pretending to be his wife. I'm probably treading on thin ice right here because I know opinions can differ on this matter, but I don't think it was rape. It was manipulation and scheming, for sure, because Zelena made it so Robin actually believed she was Marian the whole time, and whatever intimacy they had, I would speculate that it was definitely consensual because Robin had no reason to suspect otherwise that this person wasn't his wife, and he had made the decision to let Regina go and move on with being a family with Marian.

Well, to me it's definitely rape, but that's actually beside the point of what happened to Outlaw Queen this season.

I blame CaptainSwan. I blame for taking too much screen even in this very last episode that was supposed to be either Hades' either Robin's. I blame it for ruining this way the whole season, especially 5A.
