Hey, guess what, Iâve found another screen rant I want to react to! I wasnât planning to do any more but, reading through this article, I just have SO many problems with it... So Letâs do another, agree or disagree with a Screenrant article made by someone with no bias at all. (Sarcasm for the last part by the way.) So letâs see:
Agreed with this point. People act like, if the characters werenât on screen then they disappeared or something. Maybe they were just living their own lives?
... I donât even understand this article. Apparently this is 20 things people get wrong and this point is that the timeline can make sense, but then OP goes on to say âHowever, the more characters were introduced and the more worlds the characters ventured into, it became clearer and clearer that time didn't work the same way everywhere... However, in a world of fairytales, expecting anything more than that is simply asking too much. What does it matter, exactly, when some of these events took place as long as we know that they were a long time ago in a universe not at all like our own?â
Like, so that means this isnât something people get wrong - the timeline DOESNâT make sense - so what the hell is it doing in this article? You canât claim youâve solved it just because you shrug and go âyeah but itâs magic so what do you expect?â
I mean the text directly conflicts the title/bullet point. Luckily I can still safely say I disagree, both with the title and the text because the timeline became f*cked, and just making an embarrassed shrugging face doesnât change that.
I canât even say disagree because this is just plain wrong! I donât quite understand this writer. I canât tell what theyâre deal is, like did they just give a poor title to their article?
Season 1 - The Original Curse
Season 2 - Belle and Sneezy lost their memories.
Season 3 - Everyone lost a year.
Season 5 - Camelot
Season 6 - Emma lost her memories
Season 7 - Another Curse.
Notice how I left out 4? Well this is where Iâm getting confused because this is what OP had to say about Season 4:Â âWhile season four dabbled with alternate universes, memories were never wiped or reset in the way they were in every other season.â
... But their memories WERE wiped! They were essentially in a curse because their memories WERE wiped and they WERE given new identities just like the original curse. So yes, memory wipes did in fact happen every single season!
So I canât agree or disagree because maybe some people do call Ruby a lesbian, but most everyone I talk to calls her bi... So Iâma just skip this one.
Note: Sheâs bi people. This is canon. If you donât agree then tough shit.
Agreed, thereâs plenty of other ways true love can be proven. TLK is probably just the most convenient, lol.
Kind of agree? I mean I think most people do know and acknowledge this but I guess it can sometimes escape people without realising in passing sentences?
This is true. It was a lame and terrible reveal that made no sense but it was revealed.
... Like, Iâm getting confused again. Because this title either doesnât fit or the writer lives under a rock because no one getâs this wrong! Everyone - rightfully - calls out Zelena for what she did. Even Zelena fans admit what she did was messed up!
... I do agree, I donât think she made up for all the awful things she did and she definitely became âone of the teamâ way too quickly for my liking. (Iâm hesitant because I suddenly have an idea what side of the fandom wrote this article and I can pretty much predict where itâs going.)
AND THERE IT IS!
DISAGREE. DISAGREE. DISAGREE. DISAGREE. DISAGREE. DISAGREE.
âNothing says good guy like being an older man who takes advantage of a young girl, impregnates her, and lets her go to jail for crimes you yourself committed.â First off, we donât know his age.
Second, he didnât âimpregnantâ her. She got pregnant. It takes two to tango though I doubt the writer knows this.
And third, Emma went to jail for HER crimes. Sorry, dear writer, but let me just fill you in. Aiding and abetting a fellow criminal IS A CRIME! Emma did wrong and she was punished for it. I donât necessarily agree with what Neal did but he is not responsible for where Emma ended up.
âEven further, nothing says good guy like someone who mocks the woman he allegedly loves for the years of trauma, suffering, and scars she endured as a result of your callous, selfish behavior.â ... WHEN?!
â... Neal Cassidy became more and more like the selfish, frequently malicious parents who raised him.â ... Again, WHEN?! Like seriously, selfish maybe but malicious?!
âIn no world would he have been the right man for Emma or a good father to Henry because he could never accept accountability for any of his many wrongdoings.â Except, you know, Neal knew Henry all of five minutes and was already dedicated to being a great dad to him and literally was WAY better at being a father to Henry than Hook ever was to the kid. And I added the Hook part because my God, the writer of this article couldnât be more obvious a CS shipper if they had every sentence end with swans and pirate flags.
Itâs amazing how, even dead, theyâre still threatened by Nealâs character.
Maybe this was true in S6, but by S7 they had clearly retconned it, making the Wish Realm a very real place. Otherwise thereâs a ton of plot holes and youâve got to be a real idiot to say youâd rather accept plot holes than that the Wish Realm might actually be real.
(Also, just saying, another terrible title because what happened to Emma and Regina when they were in the Wish Realm very much DID happen. So again, really poor titles for this article that clearly doesnât know what itâs point is.)
... She VIOLATED everyoneâs minds by erasing their memories and TRIED TO MURDER ZELENA!
She may have had good intentions but that doesnât change the fact that she was a villain for a season! Dude, have you never heard the phrase âthe road to hell was paved with good intentionsâ?! Iâll defend Emma turning Hook into a Dark One for sure, but trying to completely ignore the awful things she did?! Jesus Christ!
Again... What? OP... Everyone already KNOWS this. This article is meant to be things people gets wrong but, honestly, I think OPâs the only idiot who gets things wrong at this point. So Iâm once again torn because I agree with the statement but I donât agree that this is something people get wrong.
*Sigh* OPâs giving me a migraine. Not because their statement is incorrect, but because all their reasoning is!
âRegina, as we know, went back and forth to points outside of Maine many times during the preceding 28 years.â It was actually explained, by Regina herself to Hook in Season 2, that because she (and he) had no cursed memories, crossing the town line would not affect them.
âGreg and Tamara are also able to cross the town lines, with Greg even remembering the tiny town for years and years after a traumatic encounter within it during his childhood.â Again. The town line affects people who ARE CURSED! This is made very clear! Henry can also cross the town line when he went to get Emma.
The title, once again, is misleading. People are able to leave - so long as they donât CROSS THE TOWN LINE. Thatâs the part CURSED people are not able to do.
Iâve given up Agreeing and Disagreeing at this point. OPâs points are making my brain hurt so letâs just move on.
Youâre right OP. It did serve a purpose. Itâs purpose was to be a cash grab!
Apparently OPâs excuse is that Anna and Elsa helped Emma come into her own as a magic user? Like yeah, Iâm calling bullshit. Emma had no problem using her magic until they brought Frozen in, then they made a whole storyline of Emma having problems just to justify having Elsa struggle and then help her with it.
And after they left they were barely even mentioned. So, again. NO PURPOSE. (Apart from a cash grab.)
Okay, so actually, I do agree. Regina is still Henryâs mum but the fact is, his adoption canât be legal because Regina would need to have lied on her application and all the usual checks usually done for people wanting to adopt couldnât possibly have happened.
I was going to agree on technicality but you know what? No.
DISAGREE!
Just because the couples arenât perfect doesnât make them toxic. (Using OPâs examples:)
âRobin's relationship with Regina results in his being repeatedly assaulted and fathering a child as a result of that assault.â Wow, dude, wait to blame the girlfriend for some of the bad stuff that happened in Robinâs life. I sure feel sorry for whoever you end up with if this is how you see it.
âHook and Emma frequently lie to one another as well,â Lying does not equal a toxic relationship! Certain lies, maybe, but general lying is just what people do when theyâre embarrassed or ashamed or upset. What counts is what youâre lying about and also whether or not you come clean about it.
The only one Iâll agree with is RumBelle but even then OP completely misses the reason WHY theyâre a toxic relationship. Instead they generalise it into very un-toxic details.
... Again... Like... I agree with the statement but NO ONE GETS THIS WRONG!
OP is clearly just using this article as an excuse to bash Regina. And Iâm not a Regina fan, but no, dude, if youâre gonna do this then make a â20 of the worst things Regina ever didâ list. Not a â20 things people get wrongâ and then list a bunch of things that one in ten people gets wrong!
And now OPâs repeating. Because Iâm pretty sure this was covered in the 4th one? Like, agree. I guess. But it feels like OP was running out of things and figured Regina bashing again would be too obvious or something.
Okay. Now this is something a lot of people wonât agree with but... I do.
I agree the show was intended to be Emmaâs story and that it then got popular and other characters got popular and it branched out into something more.
... However OP is still a colossus idiot because they ended on this sentence:
âIt's what made the concept of a seventh season without almost any of the Charmings such a laughable concept - and such a colossal failure, as well.â And while Season 7 may not be the masterpiece I pretend it is to piss of antiâs, it is also far from the worst. OP just hates it because their fav wasnât centre stage and theyâre bitter as hell.
Wow this was probably the stupidest article yet. OP either clearly doesnât know what they were meant to be doing (a list of things people often forget about the show) or they just wanted to make a list where they bitched a few points and couldnât be bothered to think of a catchy title or reason why. Either way, OPâs an idiot and most of these points are ridiculously dumb.
