Some characters improved significantly while remaining faithful to their cartoon counterparts. At the same time, some characters were initially improved, but flat lined or reverted. For these characters, their development is mediocre, even boring, unfortunately. At the other end of the character spectrum are the characters who were completely ruined. These characters were either strong villains or heroes, but are the result of a story going on without any respect to letting that character go. What is most unfortunate about the mediocre and ruined characters is they are truly great characters that deserved more.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: native in content. --><\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"snow-white-mary-margaret-improved-significantly\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Snow_White_Mary_Margaret_Improved_Significantly\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">9 <\/span> Snow White \/ Mary Margaret (Improved Significantly)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img expandable img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-snow-white.jpeg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;ABC&quot;\">\n<figure> <picture> <!--[if IE 9]> <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-snow-white.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-snow-white.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-snow-white.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-snow-white.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"once-upon-a-time-snow-white\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-snow-white.jpeg\"\/> <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">ABC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The 2D-animated Disney Princess film<em> Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs<\/em> is a masterpiece for its time, but the way she is portrayed in <em>Once Upon a Time<\/em> is rather awful.

Even though Snow White\u2019s story being retold through a more progressive lens is what made <em>Once Upon A Time<\/em> so successful, it\u2019s questionable why her Prince was given a mediocre arc. Charming, as he is referred to in the show, is a dedicated husband, father, and sheriff. However, his story in the cursed land is that he is in a coma that can only be broken by true love\u2019s kiss. Additionally, it\u2019s revealed that he is actually the \u201cgood twin\u201d that replaced his arrogant brother. His real father, a king, tried to kill him in the cursed land because he blamed Charming for the death of his twin brother. The storyline is so bizarre that it could have been a stepping stone into deeper character development, but Charming virtually remains the same throughout the show.<br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\n<!-- Zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"evil-queen-regina-mills-ruined\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Evil_Queen_Regina_Mills_Ruined\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">7 <\/span> Evil Queen \/ Regina Mills (Ruined)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img expandable img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-evil-queen.jpeg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;ABC&quot;\">\n<figure> <picture> <!--[if IE 9]> <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-evil-queen.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-evil-queen.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-evil-queen.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-evil-queen.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"once-upon-a-time-evil-queen\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-evil-queen.jpeg\"\/> <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">ABC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Like Snow White, the Evil Queen was given a compelling story line.

Yet, <em>Once Upon A Time<\/em> delivered their portrayal of Mulan on a golden platter encrusted with the finest gems. The primary way in which Mulan became tougher is they wrote her as a warrior first and foremost. She was dedicated to protecting Aurora because of her devotion to Prince Philip. However, more than that, she trained Merida. One strong warrior training another equally strong? Absolutely! The love interest for Mulan even makes more sense in the context that she is written to be an independent and dedicated person. So, for her to be the love interest for Red Riding Hood is remarkable. Both characters are no-nonsense and without family, but become leaders in their own corners of the magical world. Two powerhouses uniting at the end of the series, when Mulan has already been established as a loyal soldier is the perfect ending to her story.<br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #5! --><br \/>\n<!-- Zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"rumpelstiltskin-mr-gold-mediocre\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Rumpelstiltskin_Mr_Gold_Mediocre\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">5 <\/span> Rumpelstiltskin \/ Mr. Gold (Mediocre)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img expandable img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-rumplestiltskin.jpeg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;ABC&quot;\">\n<figure> <picture> <!--[if IE 9]> <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-rumplestiltskin.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-rumplestiltskin.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-rumplestiltskin.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-rumplestiltskin.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"once-upon-a-time-rumplestiltskin\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-rumplestiltskin.jpeg\"\/> <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">ABC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The character who had the longest life appropriately had the most names. First, Rumpelstiltskin was a coward who avoided war and became obsessed with power to become The Dark One. Over time, he transformed into The Crocodile and The Beast. In the cursed land, he had the moniker of Mr. Gold, the pawn shop owner. His storyline is as intertwined with other characters, such as Snow White. The way Robert Carlyle portrayed Rumpelstiltskin was worthy of an Emmy. Yet, the versatility of Mr. Gold became a broken record. Instead of allowing him to shift into a loving husband and father, his storyline throughout <em>Once Upon a Time<\/em> followed the same pattern of: being happy, then wanting more power, and losing his family, only to give up power \u2014 lather, rinse, and repeat. He continually hurt his wife and family with broken promises.

From her fabulous furs to the way she says, \u201cDarling\u201d, Cruella didn\u2019t need a redemption arc. In fact, she needed to remain bad, especially since Maleficent and Ursula received redemption arcs. While the story of Cruella is rewritten in that she didn\u2019t capture any puppies to turn them into coats \u2014 imagine trying to redeem that \u2014 she is able to turn dogs into violent animals. Though this is just the beginning of her story. She is violent, tenacious, and reminiscent of a younger Regina. Victoria Smurfit, who portrays Cruella, said upon discovering she was playing Cruella that she fell out of her chair, she was so excited, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accessonline.com\/articles\/victoria-smurfit-talks-taking-on-cruella-de-vil-in-once-upon-a-time-158328\">Access<\/a>.

Though that could have been the point in casting Colin O\u2019Donoghue as the formidable pirate. Yet, this digression from being vindictive to forgiving someone who mutilated him is not the Hook fans needed. Every form of Hook has been vicious with a lot of charm. But in <em>Once Upon a Time<\/em>, he falls in love and that\u2019s the end of his arc. It\u2019s the Phoebe Buffay from the cast of <em>Friends<\/em> effect: introduce a quirky character who is independent and confident, only to have them fall in love to have no more growth. Except Hook is a villain! He can definitely fall in love, like he did with Milah, Rumplestiltskin\u2019s first wife, but he doesn\u2019t have to remain the same person because of that change. To have such a prolific villain shift into a softer version leaves a lot of unexplored but exciting territory for character development.<br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #9! --><br \/>\n<!-- Zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-wicked-witch-zelena-ruined\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_Wicked_Witch_Zelena_Ruined\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">1 <\/span> The Wicked Witch \/ Zelena (Ruined)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img expandable img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-the-wicked-witch.jpeg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;ABC&quot;\">\n<figure> <picture> <!--[if IE 9]> <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-the-wicked-witch.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-the-wicked-witch.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-the-wicked-witch.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-the-wicked-witch.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"once-upon-a-time-the-wicked-witch\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/once-upon-a-time-the-wicked-witch.jpeg\"\/> <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">ABC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Another villain who was undeservedly given the shorthand of the stick was The Wicked Witch of the West, or Zelena. While <em>The Wizard of Oz<\/em> is public domain, the crossover impact had massive potential, especially with the Wicked Witch and the Evil Queen going head-to-head. The twists of Zelena\u2019s story are truly edge-of-your-seat-worthy, but she was so whiny. She was written as a jealous sister, playing off the fact that her skin turned green when she was envious or felt like a side option. Granted, that storyline is worth exploring, but if Regina could work through losing everything, so could Zelena. Or, another possibility: Zelena could have taken a similar route as Cruella in being even more ruthless. Think back to how The Wicked Witch of the West is in <em>The Wizard of Oz \u2014<\/em> she is vindictive and is going to get that little dog too.<br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #10! -->\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
