I must be contrarian by default.

I think the Debbie downer Ella was a good thing....but they just overdid it, provided little to no backstory, and dropped it off a cliff.

Being cynical is a solid flaw for a hopeful Cinderella, but they just overdumped and ignored it as she became a minor character.

Plus, they tried to Snow-ify her. Snow was a cynic who truly believed, Mary Margaret was a hopeless romantic. Ella was a Debbie downer for 5 seconds, Jacinda was the same, then minor character twice over for a dozen plus episodes.
