OUAT be like ‘True love is the rarest magic of all’ and then they expect me to believe that fucking Brennan Jones fell in love in his sleep and a nurse fell in love with him without ever having a reciprocated conversation with him or ever getting to personally know him and it was actual True Love™ that managed to break a sleeping curse. And now suddenly he’s completely reformed and such a good guy because the woman ✨fixed him✨ And they expect me to accept this in the same episode where they show him selling his children without showing the slightest hint of remorse. Okay. Umm, what the fuck?
Also him telling Killian that if he had known the nurse back then he never would have done that and everything would have been different must have been an extra punch in the gut to Killian because if he was at all close to his mother when he was little, it must have felt like Brennan was absolutely dismissing her. As if Brennan was saying he needed a woman to make him a good person but Killian’s mother wasn’t good enough. What an asshole.
#the jones family#killian jones#brennan jones#i don’t buy his ‘change’#and i definitely don’t buy his true love story#it goes against every attempt ouat made to subvert the true love’s kiss trope#from a storytelling point of view brennan being cursed and awoken by a true love’s kiss is such a lazy explanation#they just needed him to be alive 200 years later because they specifically wanted regina to be involved#which was also a retcon#how tf did she even know anything about killian’s father in the first place?#and why would she bother finding out so much personal information about someone she just wanted to hire as an assassin?#if they really wanted killian to commit patricide they could have easily let it happen within a reasonable timeline#wait i expected a reasonable timeline on ouat? my bad#anything but the true love explanation would have worked#ouat criticism#hating on brennan jones again
