Well, Zelena's motives in 3b was rather weak, 5a and 5b greatly improved upon that. Ingrid was great, but really just alternate Elsa. I'd agrue they weren't as strong as they could be, but they definitely did drive the arc, while Hades floundered around as well as Isaac and the QoD. But Emma did have motives, just terribly written and correlated ones that didn't flow at all.

I would go with breaking down Rumple and rebuilding him for his final burst as a villain, if that's what they are planning. They need to stop having the other villains cower to him if he's not the final villain. Hades did decently in that respect.

Nothing I could say could change much, but I'd say nothingless than Rumple or abstract entity or maybe real world (US). Frollo could work with some of the things they have done, but they are past the days of street magicians and ghouls. I can only say anything less would get ridiculous.

These people have bet witches of all strengths, barely defeated a god and his machinations, a god-like Peter Pan and his mind games, tons of emotion, and did the whole light vs darkness and still on it currently.

Rumple is spiraling to his end, good or bad. Belle will do likewise. Emma's working on happy endings, I guess. Regina's (and Hook) almost done with her tangible redemptive growth. Zelena's on the path. All these women are getting pregnant. We're slightly retreading villains now. But I need to stop being such a downer and have a little fun XD

1. Blue Fairy (w/ Claude Frollo): Be a purist, especially of magic and with the fairies as nuns, him as a judge/ pious man, what better thing. Even have Blue be the anti-hero person, get a backstory, and kidnap all the babies.

2. Rumple: Then the series can be over. Seriously, I can't really think how they'll scrap the barrel, even though they somehow do XD
