abc_onceuponSo, my friend and i were getting into a show discussion...one of those nerdy things...y'know..and we got into how we think the queen is just..boring...and i said..that i think she is just a "emo little b*tch who just needs a therapist and some pills" because she comes off to me (in her queen role)...like some teenager who lost her bf to some other cheerleader or something and now "woe is me boo hoo!"
The disney movie version...i think the queen was all pissed off that there would be someone more fair than she was...so..being dethroned like that sent her into a tizzy...
So...being that we do not know yet WHAT it was that snow white did to the evil queen regina...Why don't we use this post to discuss what we THINK she did...(based off the disney movie or not...)...and also discuss her character. what we like or don't like...lets engage in some friendly debate and discussion...cross minds...and maybe meet an interesting person who shares your view...
maybe brownie points if someone posts a guess and it turns out later that said user was RIGHT! XD

Date: 2011-12-16 10:50 pm (UTC)Given that Regina is the Miller's daughter (grain merchant's daughter, mayhap?), I think the story goes something vaguely like this...
The Miller (Henry Mills, natch) falsely brags about how his daughter can spin straw into gold to get attention and accolades. The king hears this and imprisons the daughter (Regina) until she can spin a room of straw into gold. Rumplestiltskin does it for her the first night, and the second, but by the third demands that she promise him her firstborn as his price. Desperate to save her life (in some versions, the king is threatening her life and that of her father, in others she has fallen for the king and wants him to love her... depending where this show wants to go, but I would say she loved the king and wanted his love in return), she agrees. The king falls for the girl who spun him rooms full of gold, they marry and have a heir. Rumplestiltskin comes for his firstborn... Regina manages to get out of the deal by guessing his name...
My guess? Snow (being the king's daughter by earlier marriage) was the one who told the king that Regina tricked her way into whole deal and that she could never spin straw into gold. This cost Regina the King's love... (and possibly the life of her child? Through some accident/mishap?)
Ergo... Snow cost Regina her chance at happiness/love/everything. Snow accepts this blame, but it doesn't anger her or cause her the emotion you would expect in something that would cost her father's life.
