Although I don't think they're gonna go that way with why the underworld looks exactly like Storybrooke, I think it would be the perfect twist if, instead, it is Storybrooke what looks exactly like the Underworld. What do you all think? I have a theory of my own. Cora overthrew Hades and changed the Underworld to look like her least favorite place, but destroyed. This also fits with Cora's ruling obsession and her alluding to Persephone.
 * 1) The Underworld looks like wherever the souls come from. This would add a feeling of eternal nostalgia and homesickness on top of everything, or to make the souls feel at home?
 * 2) The Underworld used to be the typical huge cave in fire, or a dark pit, or whatever... And it turned into this normal-looking town when the Curse was cast.
 * 3) The Underworld has always looked like this... The Dark Curse was supposed to send everyone to a place without happy endings, right? so what better than an exact replica of Hell?
