How do you think of Henry as the main character of season 7?

-He has little to zero involvement with the villains, both Facilier and Gothel. I don't even remember he had a single scene with any of them. If I recall correctly Gothel and Henry were in a group scene in 7x10 but that's it. They didn't even talk with each other. I feel like this isn't his storyline, unlike Emma or Snow. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

-He only got one centric episode for himself (7x16). And it was about his hero complex: something we have seen before when he was young. I feel like they thought we already know Henry from seasons 1 to 6, so they didn't need to spend time on him. Which is wrong, IMO. It's not the same having a character as a teenager than as an adult. Even Sabine/Tiana got more centrics than Henry.

-At this point of the season, it feels like Alice is the main character. I wanted a male to be the lead. There is nothing wrong with a female lead, but we already got that in seasons 1 to 6. It would have been nice to have a guy for a change. Adult Henry scenes in 6x22 suggested he would be the main this season. But it seems Henry went the path David, Hook and Robin took. He is just happens to be there in the middle of the storyline.

-He isn't like being used to promote the show. Do you remember the clip promoting 7B? It was "The Evil Queen, Captain Hook, Rumpelstiltskin and the Wicked Witch return". The season started with Henry and Cinderella being promoted as an "epic love story", and now they just like faded in the background.
