I've rarely seen someone so downright-loved or downright-hated as her. :0 I think it maybe due to the preference of acting, but pretty much agreed is that her backstory fell a bit flat. At least her relationship with her father. She almost seems erratic, impulsive, and unhinged. Except she also shows that she is quite intelligent and clever, not so much as Cora or Ingrid, but more than her sister Regina, and definitely more than the QoD. At first I just tolerated her, but I grew to love her. I tend to like the powerful villains and she was one of them. She also actually doesn't go sociopathic like Regina, Rumple, Cora, and Pan. She seems to be a normal person with a major jealousy complex. As an infamous example of a witch, she is held up against the 1939 one, Elphaba and Theodora. Well, regardless of popularity, Theodora is likely the worst yet. And with envy being Zelena's cause of green is actually surprising that none of the great movies thought of using it. I may have tolerated and slightly liked Zelena, but I'm happy that she's back, showing that villains don't have be isolated in their own separate plots. I wish we had more crossover from each arc. Elsa and Anna meeting the Queens of Darkness, or Ingrid being around when Zelena was.
