She really gave me the feeling she was threatening Regina and that she would not hold back againts anything, she seemed more powerful and intimidating as well. When they recast her I felt disapointed. Yvette was perfect for Ursula in my opinion, this new actress fails to make me believe that she is indeed a queen of darkness, she may be a villain but not as bad as the others and it has to do with tha acting that gives me that impression. In the episode Ariel I thought "Wow this women stand it up to regina with no problem throught that mirror, behold" but now she is like meh, does not give the same feeling, she seems weaker. I think when she was on the phone with Regina, that was when she was most similar to Yvette's Ursula depiction. I think even if Yvette was Ursula she would have a lot more presence, but still look weak mostly to me because they partially-demoted her(attempting to not have her be the mysterious sea goddess, like we forgot!) and the role she plays is almost a background character. Cruella holds all the sass and snark and presence. Maleficent has all the evil and villainy. What's left for Ursula? Sympathety? Irritability?
