Not only they were underdeveloped and unimportanr, they took screen time from other major characters and relationships that could have explored (Two whole episodes!!). Maleficent is underusued as well and its a shame. I wanted to see The Mistress of All Evil. What bugs me most is that they only brought Ursula and Cruella just to have them without any porpuse. They used the QoD to talk about "heroes and villains". They only needed Maleficent and she's just overshadowed by Rumple. I mean they did a similar thing with Ingrid and Rumple, but you got a sense of equality in plot. Here, I don't feel the same  thing between Maleficent and Rumple. Maybe it's either Mal having two powers (I mean come on, how many times is she going to turn into the CGI Dragon) or too much going on(Author, Rumple, Emma, Zelena).

In truth, I believe Ursula was brought in for Hook and Cruella for Emma. Other than that, they just got their happiness or death. Actually, I can't believe this is the first villain she actually did kill, lol.
