1. Emma has one of the worst characters journeys on television. They had a Buffy, a Katniss Everdeen and they turned her into a Bella Swan. Pathetic.

2. While the music was great, the lyrics were mediocre to awful, I was never a fan of the "Wicked always wins", and I can't believe they used it again cause you know, she loses everytime...and it's stupid. Hook's song is a weird combination of "Somebody to love" by Queen and "Mine Mine Mine" from Pocahontas. The spng I really enjoyed is Powerfull Magic because it is corny and cheesy.

3. Wrote it in a different place: Will this musical be remembered 15 years from now like "OnceMore With Feelings"? probably not, because Joss made sure to put dark themes into the songs (estrangement, depression and abuse) while OUAT uses the same themes they used for their characters (Hook -revenge, Regina – hate for the charmings, Snowing – love, Emma – lonliness) because this is what their characters are about and nothing more. In addition, while some of the cast is talented, they are nowhere near the level of James Masters, Tony Head and Amber Benson. OMWF was born from Joss Whedon’s passion while OUAT’s musical seems more like a gimmick.
