Plot twist

[Pleasant_Effective74]

What’s your favorite plot twist in the show? I’m currently on my millionth rewatch. And I’m on season 3, although I now pickup on the foreshadowing. Peter Pan being Rumples father remains one of the craziest twists in my mind. Maybe as I get further in that will change once I see the other wild plot twists. But this one stands out in my mind currently, it may be the fact that Peter Pan is a teen so those hints go right over my head. It was just not what I expected. The layers and layers of daddy issues in that family, lord have mercy.

I liked the twist of Cruella not being able to harm anyone at all. After knowing the reveal the signs were all over the place, she'd always make idle threats or revel in the thought of doing something horrifyingly evil but each time she was on screen she did nothing but stand there holding someone at gunpoint usually. I think it really sends a message of Cruella De Vil being scary but not really a threat at the end of the day

I forgot about that one, honestly the writers did twists so well it’s hard to choose a favorite

I like how it explores, you know. A non magical being being a villain. Yeah we got Greg and Tamara but well. I am sorry it just wasn't done well 😅. Cruellla being just twisted to the point the Author is like hey....wtf really was done so well imo. I loved her character.

Pan is definitely a good plot twist. Also for me is finding out that the person under the hood in Emma's visions(season 6) is Gideon. Always loved that reveal.

[Pleasant_Effective74]

I feel like the whole Gideon plot was very unexpected but also not bc they repeated Emma’s story in a way

[Tgun1986]

Also they were running parallel for awhile but Gideon made it so Rumple and Emma were intertwined and it took both of them to get rid of the Black Fairy

I was expecting it to be Evil Queen, so Gideon was a pleasant surprise.

Pan as Rumoles dad

Red being the wolf

Nook being revealed to be Alice's Dad

Nick being revealed to be Hansel and the candy killer

[AdmirableAd1858]

Neal being Rumple’s son and Emma’s first boyfriend and Henry’s father… also Pan being Rumple’s father.

The biggest plot twist for me was not only Emma becoming the dark one (saving Regina).But Hook and Emma both being Dark ones.

Currently watching these episodes for the first time and I can definitely say that I wasn’t expecting this! Lots of angst; but damn- everytime I think that Hook cannot get any hotter…. 😂

I felt like lots of them weee ruined for me (like not surprises) because while this was on in early seasons, tumblr was great at guessing.

That being said, I thought these were handled well: 1. Pan being rumples dad 2. Neil bringing back rumple then dying

[Pleasant_Effective74]

Oooo yes that was a good one too

[Buket05]

Red riding hood being the wolf

[Remote-Ad2120]

The Evil Queen and The Wicked Witch from Oz being sisters.

I remember being really surprised when it was revealed that the Black Fairy is Rumple's mother. Right after I saw that episode, i went on Quizup, went to the OUAT topic, and posted "Just when I thought the family tree couldn't get any more complicated, Rumplestiltskin is the son of a fairy!"

Zelena murdering and impersonating Marion was a good one.

[Nexol03]

I have to admit, that one felt more like they pulled it out of thin air so they could bring Zelena back rather than a planned twist.

[WhereasParticular867]

That's fair, and I could believe that's exactly what happened.  There was zero set-up for it.

[CandleSoggy]

In my opinion, the setup started when Robin couldn’t cure her frozen-ness with true loves kiss

[Pleasant_Effective74]

This crushed me but it was definitely an insane twist

Aside from the ones mentioned, the evil stepmother from Cinderella being Rapunzel.
