-'''Regina literally cursed everyone AGAIN. That woman just doesn't learn a thing'''. So the people of Wonderland, Neverland, Oz, Arendelle, WishRealm, etc... just had to accept Regina's decision of merging all the lands? Just because she wanted to? Who is she to decide such a thing? And we are supposed to believe that they just clapped and voted for her as their queen? Like "yeah, you just destroyed my land and sent me to the LWM. Be my queen please". She literally took the crown from all the other rulers, like Elsa. And what would happen if someone breaks this curse? Will they go back to their lands? This right here is my big problem.

The show began with Regina cursing everyone for selfish reasons and ended with her cursing everyone.... for from what I saw kind of selfish reasons.So she could be around Henry all the time and see him whenver she wanted. I don't see how this curse benefits anyone except Regina, Henry, Emma and their family.

Also when you look deeper, this restricts the next generation. If they want to go travelling and be independent, they're no more than half an hour from their parents.

And yeah, how id Regina beat Emma and Snow? Emma saved them from the curse and multiple other threats, Snow has been a dedicated protector (or she had been), whereas Regina cursed them all and likely murdered someone they loved. Story-wise, Snow, the disowned Queen, or Emma, the lost Princess, taking the crown would make so much more sense. I'm fine with Regina being elected since she brought the realms together, which in my opinion, combined with her becoming a hero and earning the people's forgiveness, makes up for casting the Dark Curse. I'm headcannoning that after a few years of being queen, she decides she prefers being mayor of Storybrooke and abdicates the throne. Another election is held and Snow and David (there was a tie) are crowned the Bandit Queen and the Shepard King. I've also headcannoned that Emma actually won the first election (by a large margain), but that she declined stating that while she is grateful she was chosen, she has no desire to rule. Regina was in second place.

Also, the show doesn't have a moral event horizon which is probably why the whole casting the curse and killing someone they loved doesn't seem to matter.
