Once Upon A Time: Queens of Darkness or Just Drama Queens?

Should I be offended that most of these villains are bat crazy women?

                     After the Frozen cross over onto ABC's Once Upon A Time I thought, "Okay, this feels a little desperate for no reason." Truthfully it felt too soon to include the story of Frozen but it did open a storyline we were dying to uncover: who wrote Henry's Fairytale book? Who is the Author? So yeah I'll let Frozen slide but these Queens of Darkness? Feels like they're grasping at straws. 

            I have a sister who's really into that video game Kingdom Hearts which includes the Final Fantasy and Disney Film universes together. With the Disney universe comes a vast amount of worlds and dimensions we'll call alternate time lines because most of Disney's films are based off of Grimm Fairytales (some novels like Peter Pan and The Jungle Book) which take place in our world. So occasionally you'll get a normal non-magical villain but that doesn't mean they should just magically pop up with other villains. 

Hey you look different. Usually you're a phantom or a dragon

          We've heard her mentioned and saw her once (if you don't count the many times our heroes had to go below the library and face the crazy phantom), Maleficent will finally enter into play. I'm cool with that because like the Evil Queen of Snow White she's perhaps one of the most well known of the Disney Pantheon. They have similar stories involving a sleeping curse and a powerful sorceress. Sleeping Beauty is one of the top stories little girls (and the world) first learn about so yeah bring on Maleficent! See what she can do! Then there's Ursula...

I'm digging the hair though. Perfect!

            I didn't expect to see her to be honest but glad that she's making an appearance. It's kinda confusing a little I'll admit because Ariel mentioned that there was a sea goddess named Ursula who comes off as a more benevolent character as she allows mer-people to walk on land once a year. But like all goddesses she doesn't like pretenders or those stealing the spot light so Regina had a scary encounter with the goddess Ursula who threatened her to never pose as her again or else! Hopefully we get into the sea witch Ursula's background a little. In the original script of The Little Mermaid, Ursula and Trident are brother and sister so maybe we'll see that story in the show. But then there's Cruella DeVille.

What this woman really needs is psychiatric help

           Come on! I admit the song's catchy but do we have to include an animal murderer with an obsession with furs (is there a term for that by the way)? I don't really see Cruella as an evil sorceress. Yeah she's pretty evil but mostly to animals (specifically dogs). She doesn't have magic powers or anything. Yes we did Alice in Wonderland and she doesn't have powers. But she stumbled into a crazy, supernatural dimension so yes I let that slide! We met Ursula in an aquarium dealing out chum. That's funny and ironic. Where are we going to meet Cruella? A fur coat shop? Practically her heaven? Don't really see any reason for her to be there other than a need to have three queens (rule of three). 

Bitches, please!

          I feel there are plenty of other evil queens we could have used for this new story line. Maybe the writers wanted to experiment. It happens but sometimes it feels weird or it just doesn't turn out well. I'm just saying adding the psychotic, fur obsessed, pun-named queen was a bit out of the blue. Hey it could end up being a great storyline. Kingdom Hearts turned out great so maybe this one will too so I'll wait until March and see how it turns out.
