I have always felt that if a shabiki onyesha dislikes certain aspects and the direction of alisema show, that alisema shabiki should at least respect the show’s writers and their creative decisions…and if the shabiki cannot do that, then he (or she) should simply stop watching alisema show.
Which leaves me in a bit of a quandary. I have lately found myself losing respect for Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the head writers and co-creator’s of ABC’s Once Upon A Time. It isn’t just one thing that set this off, but a series of things, things which if only one had been an issue, I would be fine, but the accumulation of all of them is making it hard for me to keep kwa cool and to not lash out at both of these men.
In an interview a while back one of them (I can’t remember which one) alisema that they intended to tell this story the way they thought it should be told and hoped the mashabiki liked it. I took that to mean that they wouldn’t be catering to the needs and the desires of the mashabiki and I respected that…but lately I’ve come to think that they did not mean it.
For one thing, it seems to me that there have been zaidi intimate moments hinting at a possible relationship between Regina and Emma ever since a good portion of the shows mashabiki of have come out and admitted to shipping Regina and Emma together. At the beginning of the first season, I would have alisema that there is no way that those two would ever (or should ever) end up together, but as we are now part way through season 2, I’m not so sure anymore.
It feels like a similar situation between Hook and Emma. I get the feeling the only reason the writers keeping hinting at a possible romantic relationship between Hook and Emma is because a good portion of the mashabiki are hoping for it to be so, despite the fact that Hook would be a poor boyfriend and that Emma would (most likely) only end up with a broken heart.
Plus, it seems like every shipping group in the entire fandom (with glaringly obvious exception of Gremma), has had their moments this season.
Speaking of Gremma, let’s talk about Graham for a second. He’s now been dead for over a season and hasn’t been mentioned since the episode after he died. It’s like either he never existed in the first place au the rest of the characters simply had their memories of him erased. This isn’t the first onyesha where I’ve seen this happen, and it has always been one of my juu pet peeves.
Not only is Graham dead, but he was murdered! And his murderer is looking to get away with it…not just this season, but the entire onyesha (unless things change drastically). I don’t mind Regina trying to redeem herself, but her redemption should not get in the way of her being brought to justice for his murder.
The writers themselves once alisema that Graham/The Huntsman was the DNA of the show…yet they don’t act like it. If he is such an important character as they say he is, why should the woman responsible for his death be allowed to get away with it? Once again, I’m afraid it is because many of the show’s mashabiki upendo Regina and would literally throw a temper tantrum if anything were to happen to her.
I’m not going to lie: I’m a huge Gremma shipper and have been ever since I first starting watching the show. Now before some of wewe go and say that I’m biased, I’ll like to say that I have several other shows that I watch where my inayopendelewa ship didn’t get a happy ending…and I still watch them, because as much as I dislike the fact that those ships sunk, I still respect the writers of those shows. As I stated earlier, I feel like every other shipping group as had their happy moments. The last time any Gremma shipper was happy watching the onyesha was when The Huntsman briefly appeared in the season one finale.
I feel like Gremma has been pushed off to the side and forgotten about. Shortly after Graham’s death, Edward Kitsis alisema in an makala that “all great relationships start off with hope, and the hope that it can overcome any obstacle. What greater obstacle is there than death?” That lead myself and many other Gremma shippers to believe that it was Kitsis and Horowitz’s plan to resurrect Graham. After all, how can anyone say that and then not bringing him back?
And then there was Graham’s Letter. For those of wewe who don’t know that that is, there was an OUAT related game released over the summer with untold stories. One of them was a letter kwa Graham to Emma. It was so beautiful and moving. As the writers were behind the game, we all assumed we could count the letter as canon. Once again we thought that was a sure sign that Graham would be resurrected.
Another thing that led us to believe we would see Graham again was that the actors themselves were not at liberty to say whether au not we would. We reasoned that if Graham weren’t returning than the actors would just come out and say so, but they couldn’t. Just as they could not hakikisha his return, they could not deny it either.
All of these things led me and other Gremma shippers to believe that it was always Kitsis and Horowitz’s intention of bring Graham back to life…but now we hear that that is not so. They say they can’t bring Graham back because “everyone would say we were messing with continuity. We don’t want to do that.” That every quote proves that they are listening to what the mashabiki feel and think.
I believe they had intended to bring Graham back, but then many mashabiki moved on from Graham and now want Emma either with Hook au Neal, and that’s what disgust me. I would like to think the best of Kitsis and Horowitz, but right now I am unable to do
so.
And if they never ever intended to bring him back, then why did they lead so many of us on so? They knew full well that they were giving us hope. Gremma mashabiki have suffered zaidi than any other shipping group in this fandom and so for us to now be told that Graham wouldn’t be returning, it feels like a personal slap in the face. And it hurts!
I like to think the best of people, but after this I’m afraid I can’t. Yet part of me is still hoping that Graham will return…that either Kitsis and Horowitz were lying through their teeth when they alisema they wouldn’t bring him back…or that they will in fact change their minds. Either way, my respect for these two gentlemen has lessened.
I still do plan to finish this season, but as to whether au not I will continue to watch the onyesha after that remains to be seen.
