Megara is a prime example of this. She didn't have to be 100% like her Disney counterpart, but she shouldn't have been such a cowering damsel in distress. The Disney Megara was tough, sassy, and was fully capable of taking care of herself. It's one thing to divert from the Disney version, but it's another to make their own character a complete downgrade. Especially when Once Upon a Time has boasted about having strong female characters since day 1. I'm okay with the twist, but it didn't really add to anything. It's one thing to turn her into a DID if some tragic event occured and we witnessed that change, but we didn't. So, I don't care about her not being Meg from Hercules, but she surely was just practically in the episode because...Disney. Herc was fine and he wasn't screaming Disney Herc.

Let's not dicuss "Strong female characters" becuase Once has made a wonderful rollercoaster that only goes down. (Plus, it'll consume the thread. XD)
