Were the alternate versions needed at all?

Now that the season is over, I'm not so sure

Like Alice storyline had nothing to do with Alice from Wonderland. It was all about Robyn and W!Hook and the Guardian thing.

Cinderella was Cinderella in like 7x01 and that's it. The rest of the season was pretty much a brackground character.

Heck, even Victoria didn't neede to be Rapunzel 2.0. She could have been wronged in any other way when she was young, not necessary being locked up in a tower.

The only reason I can think why the alternate versions were needed is Mother Gothel.

I think this season could have been better if Jacinda=Tiana=Alice

So, we would have Henry falling in love with the princess of The Princess and the Frog (Tiana) instead of Cinderella 2.0. It would have been a new fairytale and they would have still been an interracial couple. That would Tiana would not only be Henry's love interest, but she would have her own storyline and her villain (Facilier). Also, she should have been the Guardian, instead of Alice. That would have created a conflict between Rumple and Henry, because Rumple's quest to find the Guardian and put the Darkness to rest, would threat Henry and Tiana's happy ending.

Can you imagine the twist if Tiana starts kissing frogs looking for a prince, and the prince frog turns out to be Henry. In a later episode, we would have seen how Facilier cursed Henry.
