Once has the powerscale issue that Charmed and Supernatural had/has. Charmed went from Demons to Source of all Evil to higher powers, etc. Same with Supernatural going Gouls, Demons, Angels, Leviathan, the Darkness, etc.

Once has gone from Witch to Fairy Boy to Super Witch to Force of Nature to Group of Witches to the Darkness to???? Bet it'll be God-Witch, lol. The rollercoaster goes in one direction and as all shows do, they try to end on a high note. Nothing in LWC would top anything previous. The only thing they have left is Magic itself, Fate itself, and/or the Real World.

Character-wise, we only have three well-defined overarching character arcs left: Rumple's addiction, Zelena's redemption, and Hook (and Rumple's) animosity. Everyone else is simply cruising along for a happy ending which is when the show ends. That also explains why Rumple has magic again....it's because it's the only (major) thing left holding the series together, because Rumple and Hook will make amends eventually and Zelena's redemption is minor. I would argue that LWC has the potential to have very powerful foes such as someone like Dracula, which is why it would still fit within the power scale. And I would argue not. What can Dracula do that the immortal, superhumanly strong, superhumanly fast and powerful magic user can't? I'm sure even Regina can take him. Now maybe if he had posed some sort of threat (most specifically psychological) then I would think so, but anything the LWC could conjure up would be as equal to if not wiorse than the Queens of Darkness. No offense to your idea of course. I do this even when some suggest Scar and Shere Khan to be villains. Now, mind control by Kaa could be decent, but I'm sort of over that ordeal with Jessica Jones. Honestly, I'm tired of these random villains randomly appearing out of nowhere with very little impact on the main characters, I mean did anything that happened with Pan or Ingrid had any effect on Emma that lasted longer than their season?! The darkness should have been the end game and it should have been more threatening. I sort of agree that the villains should have more of a lasting effect. I am hoping that not all who go to the Underworld are able to come back. It seems like we just haven't had a shocking death of a main character recently where the character stays dead. With as much evil as they are fighting it would make sense that lives are lost along th way. It seems that for the most part when they do kill off a character for good it is either a character introduced that season, a minor characer we are not very emotionally invested in, or like when they killed of Neal, they already had Hook set up to take his place in the story. The group never seem to have a missing piece for any period of time because characters killed off are eaily replaced and replaced too quickly.
