The thing is, Zelena was a big bad and she was really involved in the story, being Regina's sister and all, while Cruella was just a side villain for some comic relief. And point is, that this show needs some comic relief. I love dramatic stories but things are getting a little bit tragic, and sometimes, a comical but sidekick villain can bring new life to a show.

However I don't think we need all the villain to come back, the idea of the villain team was explored in saison 4B, in a very one-dimensional way though. Does we really need Cruella to come back since Cora is set to appear again, while Zelena is totally push aside as a main character/villain?

And that's the problem with the writing since saison 4, the writers set some big reveals and strong plots, and finally forget it to bring new storylines when everything isn't truly resolved. Some saisons or arcs later, we're not surprised to see some unexplored important plot and characters coming in front of the scene, but in a very awkward way.

In some good stories, the writers know the end or at least a part of it, but it seems like OUAT is written day by day, almost denying great and obvious ideas.
