At the same time, when they do have crossover, people complain. Like when Zelena came back in season 4, I was happy, some other people were happy, but a lot of other people were upset she was back because her arc was over. We can't have it both ways people. Those are just Zelena haters. I was glad, not because I liked Zelena, but because it's better to me to have crossover villains and see them outside of that particular role. Pan was a good villain but since he's not coming back, he's not going to be at his full potential to me.

It's like whenm Cora rears her head in every season incluiing spin-off, she gets more umph or something since she's coming back whether that's flashback or present.
