Lol, Elsa was not complex in Frozen. She had no personality. All she was, was depressed and scared.

Alright, Hook and Charming may not be that complex. I'm willing to admit that. Well, honestly, Hook's much more complex than Charming. XD, but what are you saying, that I should only like characters that are? For example, Belle isn't very complex. She's just a sweet girl who wants to be a hero and gets pushed around a lot. That's it. I like who I want. And again, I don't care if Rumple and Regina are complex. There is nothing likable or redeemable about them, imo.

Now, back to the topic at hand: Nobody's scared of Regina, they just feel the need to give her a pass for everything. The writers worship this character, so naturally the characters worship this character. I don't think anybody's ever gonna bring up her crimes at this point. She won't ever be put on trial.

You know the person Storybrooke actually is scared of, though? Rumple. He was the most powerful, feared magic-user in the Enchanted Forest, and he was still that in S1 and S2 in Storybrooke. When he went with the others to save his son and showed affection towards Belle, people thought that maybe he changed and became good. When he sacrificed himself for the town, that sealed the deal. But a while after he was brought back to life and tortured by Zelena, he ripped out Hook's heart and tried to take over Storybrooke. So everyone was back to being afraid of him until the darkness got sucked out of his heart. But I think that darkness will inevitably go back inside him and people will quickly be back to being scared of him.
