would anyone mind sharing their processing thoughts on regina starting at the pilot?

i remember first seeing her burst in on the wedding, i thought "holy moly! she's a pretty young looking evil queen!" lol i also couldn't help but notice her leather leggings which kinda confused me since it didnt't look like a style someone would wear in those times. i remember just absoultly hating her! lol especially how she demanded emma to leave town au she'll destroy her. i remember in "thing wewe upendo most," when she cried to her father about how snow ruined her life and took away everything i was thinking "man is the Queen really that vain?" lol "is being the fairest of them all seriously so important that she has to cry over it?" lol but then i thought "it must be something much bigger." all in all i recall hating her until the stable boy where i realized how being the fairest meant nothing to her. she really did have a really good reason to hate snow. thats when i softned up to her. i know she mentioned in "heart is a lonely hunter" that she shared a secret with snow and snow couldn't keep it but i wasn't quite ready to give her the benefit of the doubt yet but now i'm really feeling her pain. i also upendo how she's softening up now.
