As it's often contrasted with 3a, I find both to be about the same in level. Neverland was a touch more involved in the world of that arc and the character development was more spread out even if some of it was forced (i.e. Echo Caves). Season 3b has a slightly better ability to keep up a form of tone and while the worldbuilding was laughable for Oz, the plot was a tad better because they sat around for a while, but it was a bit more active than Neverland's endless trudge through the jungle. I mean, I swear thet Neverland is bigger than an Enchanted Forest kingdom because they literally spent a wreek walking across an island.

But enough about that comparison. I'll go episode by episode in the next post, but 3b had a feeling of a threat, an unhinged villain with a decent and novel conflict. No power and control like the previous season 1, 2, and 3a main villains. Zelena had a weak backstory and envy problem, but she was consistent in skill and was successful (for the most part).
