Am I the only one who thinks there were some set-up for the Wish Realm to be the main focus in season 7? They had everything they needed to continue to show there

-Alternate versions of the characters: As we saw the W! versions of the characters are different from the ones we know in the EF/Storybrooke, like Robin Hood. If they were going for the "alternate versions thing" in season 7, why didn't they use the W! versions, instead of creating a whole new enchanted forest? A plus would be that the new versions would have been played by familiar faces since they look the same

-W!Snow and W!Charming are dead: As we know, Ginnifer and Josh wanted out after season 6. It fits perfectly with Snowing being dead in the Wish Realm. Also, their assassination would be an excellent starting point for a new storyline about W!Henry looking for revenge

-W!Belle is dead: Just like Ginnifer and Josh, Emilie was out by the end of season 6. And again, they had already established Belle's death in the Wish Realm

'''-Emma was out. '''Again, W! Emma was actually our Emma. So, Emma being absent in the Wish Realm would make sense since she is actually in Storybrooke living her happy ending. This would have been an even better explanation for Jennifer Morrison's absense.

-Colin, Robert and Lana. The characters played by the 3 main actors that remained in the show were alive in the Wish Realm: We know for a fact that W!Hook, W!Rumple and W!Evil Queen do exist. And they were introduced in 6x10/6x11

-Familiar faces. Instead of introducing new characters they could have used more the minor old characters. W!August, W!Maleficent, W!Granny... Plus we don't know if the Wish Realm resurrected someone else like Robin Hood or Stealthy. OIther characters like Graham or Cora could be alive in the Wish Realm

-Storyline. They wanted season 7 to be focused on Henry. And that's exactly the character that had the most potential in the Wish Realm. Seeking revenge from what the Evil Queen did to his grandparents and with the Dark One free again, there was an interesting premise for season 7. We could have seen W!Regina and W!Henry having a war as enemies, something we have never seen before. Also W!Herny (played by Andrew J West) could be evil from what we know. He could have been a corrupted Author or something. Also, by the end of the season they would found out the truth: they are actually alternate versions created by a wish and they are actually mother and son in Storybrooke
