I find it even more puzzling that people haven't realised how the show is way past stock-characters, its line between good and evil is thin and constantly questioned, and the "bad guys" are round character with depth and actual motives. Now, that's some good understanding of three seasons of Once Upon A Time! :D Pan's character was pure evil. Did you like it? Actually that line which you talk about makes a character realistic. There are good and bad parts in every character (realistically speaking). When they show someone pure evil or pure good that actually doesn't relate well with audience. It potentially makes show boring and/or predictable. It was obvious Pan would die and one doesn't have to be psychic to predict that. Snow and charming are pure goodness. Would you enjoy their scenes for an hour? Well I don't know about any of you but I watch tv for enjoyment. Layered characters are more interesting than pure good or evil. It keeps one guessing how that charcater would reacts and why he/she reacts the way they did, does he have feelings deep down. It opens up such discussion and garner more interest from audience.

Ironically, that is what you are advocating with Rumple. You want him to remain pure evil and to do that he shouldn't be with Belle because *gasp* he might start showing some goodness.
