Out of every character on this show Ariel and Ursula (well Regina's Ursula at any rate) we're handled almost exactly how they are in the Disney movie, both appearance and personality wise. If they want a live action version of The Little Mermaid, Disney has a wonderful Broadway musical for them to see. Furthermore, to stop watching the show because you dislike how two side characters are handled is just ridiculous, especially if you've enjoyed the previous 2 seasons. Also, I would think by the time we got to Season 3, everyone would understand how this show works: Red Riding Hood is the Wolf, Snow White's Evil Queen's Mother is Rumple's Miller's Daughter while also being the Queen of Hearts from Wonderland, and Jack (and the beanstalk) is a girl. This is not just a simple retelling of fairy tales, and was never advertised as such! As far as I'm concerned they can twist away. It looks like you missed my point entirely :D My point was: This person loved the show, including the twists, but just couldn't reconcile the show's version of TLM with her beloved version. (Which I never said was the Disney version anyway) Sometimes you don't expect your opinion to change so drastically until the show crosses a personal line for you. You may think you'll be okay with something, then find out you're not. I think my point was at this point in the series, how can you have a personal line. At the end of the day, it's just a tv show, and while I may be unhappy with a decision they make, it's not going to effect me so much that I can no longer watch the show. It's not really our show to say what to do with it anyway, it's Adam and Eddy's. All the things they are doing are in public domain, so if you want to make your own fairy tale show or book or whatever, there is literally no one stopping you. That's how I feel. I guess it could just be my personality, like I said I can be unhappy with a desision a creator makes, but then I accept it, as it is their creation, not mine. Like if you draw a character, would you want someone to be like "no, that's not the way I would have made that character" or would you want them to be like "very cool creation you made". They don't like it, they can make their own, but they can't change mine, because it's mine. I hope this makes sense, and also, just to clarify, when I use "you" I don't mean "you Utter", but just "you as the reader in general".
