Board Thread:Spoilers!/@comment-25703308-20170919214308

I've been wanting to start a discussion for a while now but I waited for more info.

So, the need for a fresh start is absolutely understood and reasonable. I really don't mind Emma etc gone (though I'm still mourning Zelena). I'm 100% on board with the reboot.

I kinda understand the desire to have Henry live an epic romance too.

Why Cinderella though? Ok she was not a centric character but she was not a minor character. We had a beautiful portrayal by Jessy Schram and we finally saw her story with an incredible Lady Tremaine.

Why the need to bring an alternative version of her? They created a strong, original character (Emma), why couldn't they do it again?

I'm now fully on board with Season 7 but I still can't help but find it confusing. Every single version of Cinderella that exists in the world in the form of fairytales, movies, stories etc were supposedly based on a real, living, breathing person that we already saw in seasons 1-6.

I don't know how to express my thoughts hahaha. I will 100% enjoy the new season, I'm loving the descriptions of Alice and Drizella and the whole new story in general. I'm just a bit confused.
