They had a great twist on the snow queen and i thought it finished nicely. By the first 11 episodes people were done with frozen and really looking for something fresh. They brought these three villains into the 2nd arc and i feel like they lacked evil. Some episodes were good and others just seemed like something they thrown together with pointless nonsense. Maleficent was fine in the season her happy ending was great and i thought finding lily was something that changed her attitude. The episode were she met regina and they showed there backstory was a little cheesey but i think Maleficent was overall good in this season. Now for Ursula and Cruella, i think the writers did wrong by them. The show had two great villains and they could have done so much with them, they should have made them a little darker. Ursulas happy ending was to get her voice back and cruella just wanted to be able to kill again. I dont think these were great happy endings they were just cheesey. The episodes that featured cruellas and ursulas backstories just felt too rushed and really didnt make sense. They left holes and it really didnt seem to showcase the true reason why they became villains. I just feel like the 2nd Arc of season 4 had too much going on, the trio of villains and the author should have been two seperate stories. The writers seemed distracted and the villains were only used in a way that related to the author and not for their villain ways. Also can we not have a season finale that takes two hours and just flashes us back to some sort of messed up enchanted forest! I completely agree with you. 4B was a mess. I have been thinking about it and 4B is the point where Once Upon A Time jumped the shark.
