WhatTheEvenBelle wrote: I could never see them promoting Zelena, nor do I want them to. As much as I love her (hell, she's easily my third favorite character of the whole franchise), I think they'd just ruin her like they have all the other characters. Also, the supporting characters for whatever arc they're doing seem to get more focus than the regulars anyway. Elsa was basically the star of 4A. Meanwhile, what were Mary Margaret and David up to? Or Belle? I'm liking all of the characters less and less as the series goes on. Emma started out as my favorite in season one but I can't stand her that much right now. I loved Hook in season 2 and 3 but Captain Swan is ruining him. Rumple is just full on evil while Belle is more dumb than ever. I think Once Upon a Time does a poor job handling their characters. If they're series regulars, they're either misused like Belle or they're overused in a bad way like Emma. If they're a supporting character they get focus for the arc they're on and then they're forgotten by the writers along with all their unanswered questions. I can't tell if I'm going off topic but I'm basically just ranting now. I do agree that these ships are tarnishing the character growth. Hook was great before Captain Swan happened and I believe Belle has lots of potential if she could have a story not including Rumple. I agree to. I love Zelena currently and I rather her show up from time to time, since once an arc is done they mention it once and forget about that. They say they don't write ships, but there is little besides ships. Example, Belle: She was a doormat to all of Rumple's issues and they had her be like that for ever. Now, that they created angst for Rumbelle, they create even more by randomly throwing a guy Belle's way. Why? No reason at all. Let her go back to her father, meet crippled Gaston or even Samuel from the comics. Nope, nothing besides Rumple being creepy and everything revolving around him. (And I actually love Rumple). The same is true of the Charmings: Snow says "we" all the time and David just accepts it, like a doormnat, and literally they do nothing individually and they are being ruined for the plot. No way did they think in season one, "Snow and David totally stole Mal's baby." Robin and Regina are quite fast paced, ordained to be together (which ruins any fun since it says they'll be together) and the worst part of all: They managed to make Robin look worse than sociopathic and evil Regina, which is saying something. His episode made it a bit better. They reminded us about Robin as a hero and with Marian to only kill the opposition for no reason (maybe because of all the backlash), just like they did with Neal. Now, what problems will they ever face? We all know that Hook is Emma's doormat. Nothing else is to be noted, besides Emma's weird character. Watch Emma season one and then Emma season two and then jump to now and then you'd think they replaced the character with someone else. From being Elsa, to being whatever, it's like she can't be a character unless, she's a ship (CS or SQ) or Elsa or any Disney princess they want her to act like.

No more until they do more!
