I think people are thinking to binary when it comes to folk like Blue. Blue is (at best) an absolutist. There are absolutist antagonists and such, so I'm saying that Blue isn't evil and should never turn out to be a "villain" which is pretty much maybe-misunderstood evil.

The issue with that is the show does a (failed, imo) system of placing grey morality in a binary (Black/White) system. In Once, noone's perfect, but these black-and-white labels must be used. (i.e. Regina learns that killing people is bad, now she's a hero (for who?). The terminology sucks as the fireman who saved a family in a fire is a hero to them, maybe a hero in the town's eyes, but can't go around proclaiming who's a hero and who isn't.

I would say an absolutist could be the villain of 7, but they already mentioned "Darkness", so a "Hero/Light" absolutist doesn't seem to be in the cards.
