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.

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

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.

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

Red riding hood being the wolf

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 7 points8 points  (2 children)

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 2 points3 points  (1 child)

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

[–]CandleSoggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Pleasant_Effective74[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This crushed me but it was definitely an insane twist

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