Why is it your least favorite fairytale?

I have actually heard, well, read people complaining that Cinderella's story sucks because she doesn't fight for her happy ending, it's just given to her by her Fairy Godmother. But I think there is something to be said about the fact that, all through her hardships, she never lost her good nature, her kind heart. She could have been brought up with a thirst for vengeance or something. In many variations of the story, she actually forgives her sisters, knowing they were only mean because they were brought up by their ruthless mother. So, to me, Cinderella, even if she relied on someone else, still deserved the happy ending she got, for always just being good. Good triumphing over evil, after all, is what we always wanna see in a story. So, her getting help from the Fairy was like, I dunno, a good person winning the lottery. :P And she did chase after her dream after being given the push.

Or do you not like it much just because, based on no reason whatsoever? Can't like everything, of course. :P I don't like cabbage, but not cos its backstory sucks. :P

And yeah, I loved OUaT's Cinderella and thought Jessy Schram was adorable in the part, and I am bummed she got so little do overall because, let's face it, Cinderella is arguably the BIGGEST fairytale character ever. The one fairytale character EVERYONE undoubtedly knows of.
