I don't blame it on the character as it seems as they are going for a nice combination of snarky and sympathetic when it matters, but she starts to come off unintentionally hypocritical. That's the main issue and why there is this thread on character regression. None of us wants her giving hugs and kissing babies, but there has to be a point where she's presented in such a bad light.

Example: Regina meets a boy that she smiled at after destroying his home, family, and villiage. What happens? She asks who knows. (Not an apology or saying she's changed.) Stabbings thake place and he dies. Regina isn't at fault for that, but why should the victim of a tyrant die when he's not caught up on the present.

Look at this trend:

Regina separates Owen/Greg form his father> Owen/Greg dies and Regina smiles at that fact.

Regina destroys the family and villaige of Percival-> Percival is killed by Charming's defense of Regina

One is season 2 when she backslide to evil and then the next one is an episode ago. Regina has changed but her response and the show's treatment of her victims have not. If Regina apologizes to Arthur or something then I'd be glad, but she never gets a chance to tell him and then it's all about her and Robin dying.

Then (spoiler-ish), she refuses to give someone another chance when she herself has had hundreds of chances.

Now, if you make a thread about Emma or David, or Blue, I'll post there, but I will not make one. (And no, I didn't make this one.)
