For all we know, there might be times where the combined realms might cause some messes but most likely, they can work it out. The important thing is to focus on what this improves which again, has everyone be together. Plus again, I think we have the free will to come up with our own conclusions so if you don't like it, you can make up your own stories that take place after the finale. I'm sorry. I know a lot of people disagree with me but I refuse to let things ruin what I consider a very satisfying ending. I agree that it was a mostly satisfying ending for me too, but here's the thing, people are entitled to other opinions and it's not that you're not getting through, it's that your opinion isn't more valid than 8Rob's. There are many issues with what happened. Way too many. I choose to believe the realms are just fine, maybe if magic was destroyed this curse has a failsafe to send everyone back to their original lands to prevent a bigger disaster. I am happy with the ending, though I have problems with how rushed it was and how many issues it could cause, but for me, this was a happy ending for now. The people complaining are not wrong and like anything, if there is no opposition there is only an echo chamber. Rules should apply, even if the show is over. Things shouldn't just happen "because". We don't know what all ahppened between Regina telling the Henries (is that plural for Henry? XD) that she wanted a curse and the "Sometime later..." screen. Maybe she had each realm contacted to see if they wanted to be part of it. Maybe the lands we saw at the end are much more spread out than they appeared.

That said, I hate when people just bash the show, but criticisms are needed for everything. When you ignore all criticism, things stagnate and die. And a lot of creators choose to do just that. I never said that they were wrong. Ok I agree there's a chance uniting the realms could get messy and cause problems but why not just relax with the thought that the heroes could work out a strategy to work it out? Regina said herself during her speech at the ceremony that there will likely be more adventures so maybe that could imply dealing with the possible messiness of the realms being united but again, I believe that they can find a way to make things work. At least that's what I like to believe. Maybe I'm just being an optimist but the idea of only seeing this as a huge mess is just gonna bother me to no end and it relaxes me more to focus on the positive side to this. Will the united realms cause problems and be a mess? Maybe but again that's just life. At least they're all together so if things do get out of hand, they can work things out. Look, all in all I just want to focus on the good side to this. I'm sorry if I'm in the minority. I understand people's reasons for hating the ending. I, too feel things were rushed which is why I really wish the finale was 2 hours long. I just don't want to only focus on the negative side cause that's only going drive me crazy. I know I can't convince people to do what I do. I'm just expressing that in my own personal experience, focusing on the positive side to a possibly negative or messy situation keeps me more at ease.
