ShadeTheNarwhal wrote: I have two ideas that, surprisingly, both haven't been mentioned in this forum. Both of these ideas are somewhat stretching it a bit, but they could happen.

Bill Cipher
The main antagonist of the Gravity Falls television series, a show that was produced by Disney. Of course, there might be some legal licencing stuff that they'd have to fix, and Disney has never used a television franchise in OUAT, but if they do find a way to add him I think he could be a good idea.

1. As stated earlier in this forum, a villain that is more powerful than Rumpelstiltskin is needed if the show wants to stay original. Bill clearly is more powerful, with near-limitless reality warping, possession, his amazing strategical talents and the physiology of a being with more than three dimensions (which, in mathematics, makes Bill infinitely greater than any 3rd-dimensional being, such as ourselves or the characters in the show).

2. Bill is dark. Like, really dark. So dark that he threatened to rip the molecules of two children apart. Considering that not a lot of villains have ever been that dark, Bill could be a unique villain.

Darth Vader
The main antagonist of Star Wars films 4-6. Again, very much a stretch due to his sci-fi origins (although Frankenstein and Hyde exist, and they could also rewrite his backstory) and the fact that he is owned by Lucasfilms (although it is owned by Disney, and they have shown that they can use franchises from companies that they own (such as Brave)) but still, cool.

1. Darth Vader existing could introduce a sci-fi realm. As said on the page for it, Season 7 will have more realms. Plus, a sci-fi realm could introduce more franchises easily (Wall-E, Monsters Inc., etc.).

2. He would be really unique. Lightsabers, the Force, his army of Stormtroopers, his characteristics and many other things.

3. The plot twist. Darth Vader was Luke's father in the series, and we all know that it was an amazing plot twist at the time. So what if they do the same? What if Vader was Emma or a resurrected Neal or maybe Henry's wife, seeing as she is completely absent? The possibilities are fascinating.

That's all that I have to say. I await your response. While interesting, these have about a 0.01% chance of actually happening. Gravity Falls is too niche, like any Disney tv cartoon would be, and Star Wars is almost certainly a no-go, as said by Adam and Eddy. Perhaps Gravity Falls might be a bit niche, but it sparked in popularity immensely and continues to grow. Also, they have made numerous niche franchises and fairy tales appear in the series (Beowulf, Count of Monte Cristo, Fantasia (although it was very popular, it isn't anymore)). You gotta remember that Once Upon a Time Universe or otherwise known as OUATverse is a Magical Universe in wich characters, creatures, worlds and locations from Disney and Non-Disney fairy tales, mythologies, films, books and novels are introduced, so sorry but Beowulf, Count of Monte Cristo, Fantasia and Mr. Hyde are well known and perhaps magical while Gravity Falls characters uh, well this one will be my personal opinion because I have watched five episodes one week with my brother, we both agreed that Gravity Falls was the worst and most boring cartoon ever made (right after Steven Universe). If you like it, ok. I respect that opinion, although I would argue with both your opinion on Gravity Falls and SU (although the first season of SU is horrid in comparison to the rest of the show, so I understand why you see it as that). Gravity Falls is also very well known due to the charm that the fans observe in the series. And maybe I'm just an idiot, but I have never, ever heard of Beowulf or Count of Monte Cristo, and I likely would not have heard of it had it not been due to OUAT. However, since Gravity Falls is both very popular and a franchise that Disney can use, I believe that it might have an even greater chance.

Plus, Bill being the main villain of Season 7 is plausible. All that we know is that a powerful antagonist who was called a darkness has attacked, and was so dangerous that it made Henry send his daughter and the storybook through realms just to keep it safe. All of this would work if Bill was the main villain. A powerful darkness fits immensely because, you know, Bill can bend reality to his will. Then the similarities with Gravity Falls. Henry's house is attacked, but for what reason? Maybe he wants to get the storybook due to a connection. Similarly to how Bill was connected to Journal 2 and Journal 3 in Gravity Falls. Then again, this could very well be a coincidence. Weird you haven't heard of them HA YEAH SERIOUSLY MY LITTLE BROTHER MAY START WATCHING THIS SEASON OF OUAT IF THEY COMBINE GRAVITY FALLS INTO THE MIX BUT I GOTTA SAY GRAVITY FALLS STOLE SOME BITS FROM OUAT I KNEW IT THE MINUTE MY LITTLE BROTHER INTRODUCED ME TO THAT SHOW SO I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN!
