If she wants a happy ending so badly, maybe she should just buckle down and start treating everyone with respect. The writers want her snark and sass and we all know that they can't remember their own show, or at least think we don't (Looking at that 5x01 continuity issue).

Writers in general like writing villains better, so that why Regina at best would be a decent anti-hero. She's like an anti-hero, but they keep saying "Regina will save us. Regina is good. She's a hero. You've changed. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Another reason why I do like seson 3 Regina, she said that she didn't regret because she got her son, but she also claimed to be a hero only for that day when defeating Zelena. Now, she and Snow (especially) have to proclaim how good she is, so Regina never gets time to do some self-awareness.

If we ever get a slower episode, we might see it then.
