The killing was wrong. But The scene really played it as Regina’s emotions flared and thus the hearts were crushed. So, I don’t think she meant to crush them. The issue I think is really that I don’t think Regina really cared. But I feel that is a show issue than a character issue in this case.

- None of us nor the writers were clear on the WR. So, most probably don’t care whatsoever about that realm. But then the writers tried to use that to “fix” their mistake with Robin Hood. Personally, I didn’t care much for Wish Robin and whatever what emotion was suppose to be conveyed.

- Murder and killing is treated like a weekly occurrence in FTL and SB. Whatever feeing we had in season 1 was lost unless strong acting brought it back, like when Snow crushed David’s heart. It happens so often that it becomes trivial. In addition, the audience typically feels what the writers feel. If the writers are having a blast at writing the villains, then we likely are having a blast watching them.

So, like Wish Rumple was a random villain who had no stakes and a slightly weird and non-suspenseful plan, so I don’t think anybody was worried for a second or cared. However, Carlyle acted the most impish and made that work. I can’t imagine the show if they didn’t manage to cast him.
