Season 4

1. The Queens of Darkness should have been a full season rather than half a season. You had atleast 4 villains that season. Most half seasons only have 1 villain so 4 villains atleast deserved a full Season. The characters could have been fleshed out more.

2. Ursula should have simply remained the Sea Goddesses. You could have kept everything else abut her relatively the same without seperating the two characters. You could have just argued she could have simply changed her appearance via magic.

3. Maleficent should have been more vengeful towards Rumple and Regina. Considering theyu locked her away for 28 years in Dragon Form. The whole Lily Stroyline should have been cut, it totally ruined Maleficents character. Maleficent is suppose to be the most iconic and scariest Disney villain and she came off as rather pathetic on this show.

4. Cruella should have been more involved with buying up property in Storybrooke and scarying the citizens with the idea of exposure to the outside world. They also should have stayed true to her Disney story and did something with Dalmations.

5. The whole inner battle within regina should have happened during this season. In Season 3 we learned regina could access Light Magic I feel like they should have touched more on that in Season 4. They could have did the Hyde and Jeykll storyline here with Regina using the Serum to split herself into Dark and light. Dark Regina should have been more like the Evil Queen while Light Regina should have been more like redemption Regina.

6. Hyde and Jekyll should have been in this season. Also did Dr. Fallicer. Friends on the otherside help bring back Zelena at the request of Dark Regina. Regarding Mal, the whole point of Once is to humanize the villains, and show that there is always more to the story. They literally do that with nearly every villain, so not sure why you'd have a problem with them doing it with Mal. Regarding Cruella, they did do things with dalmations, both with her mother's in FB and with Pongo in present day.
