Regina recognized that she was responsible for her death when she looked in the mirror to see her past. That is why she worked so hard to help save Marian so many times after that, great character moment.

Zelena was responsible for Marian's death after Emma/Hook went back in time. Robin Hood has slept with both his wife's murderers now, lol.

I always wonder why they didn't clear up WHY Robin thought he was responsible for Marian's death, originally. An important thing to discuss I believe ;)

I don't understand why a conversation or Robin/Regina WOULDN'T happen when Marian got back to Storybrooke and yelled in front of EVERYBODY outside of Granny's that Regina was a monster? Is it not logical for Marian to tell her husband the past and how she was locked up????? How she hasn't been able to raise her son wit her husband??? Like, when "Marian" talked to Regina that she should let go of Robin, honestly, that convo should have happened between the married couple. All that diner scene came off was an easy why to be with Regina with no conflict. Btw, it just highlights how ridiculous it was to believe that it was Zelena all along if her end plan was to steal Robin Hood. She wanted "bless" Regina to be with Hood if end goal was to take Regina's happy ending. Another obvious retcon.

Is there some weird cognitive dissonance going that people don't want logical conversations between characters or don't think it is important because it may "inconvenience" OQ or something? I think the "why Robin thinks he's responsible for Marian's death" will come up eventually, when it connects to something else on the show. As for why Zelena gave her blessing, it was to screw with Regina even more. Like Regina thought she could be with Robin and even Marian approved, and then Marian needs to leave town because she is sick, so Robin has to go with her to help her and Roland, and Regina can't even blame anyone. It was a truly wicked move by Zelena.

I hope it comes up but I highly doubt the point comes up. I think the writers are set just to gloss over it and keep things moving. I can understand the perspective you presented and it can be plausible. Still clonky considering that A&E admitted that they meant for Zelena to die, and only two weeks later, decide to bring her character that. Thank you for your viewpoint.
