I disagree with you in many ways.

First I want to say that some of the points you mentioned were explained. Over the heart of Snow White has darkened, this was quoted in Season Four, where it was revealed that it wasn't for having killed Cora, but for having taken Lily's kindness. About the seer's prophecy, she was no longer quoted because she was finished.

I don't think the series has gotten worse over time, it just took different directions. I really liked the first season, when things were more adult and less fanciful, but I also liked it when things got more fun.

I mostly advocate for the fourth season because it is my favorite. Yes, they abandoned the idea of ​​returning to the Enchanted Forest, but that's because they spent so much time apart (Neverland, end of the First Curse) and trying to return to the world they had just left would be annoying.

What's more, Henry wasn't used to living in a medieval fantasy world. He's adapted to cell phones, computers, comics and various other things of the current era, just like Emma. Emma was also looking for a normal life for them, what would be the point of returning to a place of fantasy?

In my opinion, the weakest point of the series was the fifth season. They turned the entire Dark One and Excalibur into an unnecessary romance. The series might well have finished with Rumple's drama of having to choose between love and power. Soon after, they turned Hades into a guy who was basically a less interesting Rumple.

The truth is that if I could change anything in the story, it would be Rumple's return in season three. Oh, and the sixth and seventh seasons were really good.
