ReplyDeleteRegina/ Evil Queen and Mr Gold/ Rumplestiltskin.
ReplyDeleteAnyone but Henry.
ReplyDeleteHenry didn't even need to be in this poll. Rumple and Regina for me, Emma and Belle as numbers 3 and 4.
ReplyDeleteNOT Hook. NEVER Hook.
ReplyDeleteREGINA AND RUMPLE - Sassmasters all the way, love em'!
ReplyDeleteRegina and Rumple, the coolest and awesomest characters, they play their parts perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about Regina for me she is amazing, Lana Parrilla does such an amazing job playing both characters.
ReplyDeleteRumple :) The only remaining half bad, I'm too happy *-*
ReplyDeleteRumplestiltskin!
ReplyDeleteMine will always be Snow/ Mary-Margaret and Regina/ Evil Queen
ReplyDeleteI think Regina somehow needs to move in the front. Just for the fun of it. Think of it like "Once upon a time, Regina was an Evil Queen who's had it for Snow White and Prince Charming. But what she didn't know was that her mission to destroy the good side ultimately embarked her on a journey that caused her to reevaluate herself. After all, will she be able to see that the end does justify all means or not. Does it being evil necessarily means being evil or a good way of the evil itself?"
ReplyDeleteLol, I have too many fantasies.
Regina/Evil Queen for me.
ReplyDeleteRegina, Snow and Henry. I know the latter is an unpopular opinion, but I like him and I figured he'd get next to no votes here so I gave my last one to him. But it was a split between Henry and Charming whom I've come to appreciate more this season. A year ago I would have voted for Emma too, maybe instead of Snow, but the writing for her has been pretty atrocious this season.
ReplyDeleteLove Hook/Killian and evil queen/Regina!
ReplyDeleteNeal :'(
ReplyDeleteRegina, from the very beginning of the series, and, recently, Robin (not a main character, I know).
ReplyDeleteYes, Henry's role is limited
ReplyDeleteto prompt Regina's development into a better person and to annoy us all.
Mr.Gold/Rumplestiltskin, best character ever.
ReplyDeleteDitto! The best.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is, I liked him in season 1.
ReplyDeleteAlways Regina for me. I must be one of the few in fandom that actually likes Henry. it's kinda sad that people can't just vote for who they like without making some horrible comment about the kid.
ReplyDeleteSnow
ReplyDeleteRegina Mills by a mile. Followed by Killian and Mr. Gold.
ReplyDeleteQueen Regina always. Thank God for Lana Parrilla.
ReplyDeleteRumple should be on 2nd place after Regina, not Hook 👀
ReplyDeleteum...ALL OF THEM...except Henry
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing at how Henry is below "other" omg
ReplyDeleteRegina of course, like u even have to ask :P
ReplyDeleteRight there with you. Snow hasn't been knocking it out of the park this season but they are still my favorite relationship. I aww every time they step up for one another. I love Charming Robin too so there you go.
ReplyDeleteI don't hate Henry but my affection for him is not positively affected by all his scenes with Emma and Hook. They are fine on their own but I just can't with them this season. Same for Rumple and Belle.
for me it's Regina/Evil Queen and Hook !!
ReplyDeleteHahaha no one likes Henry
ReplyDeleteRegina,Rumple,Snow,Charming,Emma
ReplyDeleteRegina, Killian, Neal and Rumple.
ReplyDeleteRegina has become my favorite. Voting for #2 was a bit more challenging for me. I was split between Rumple, Charming, and Snow. In terms of acting, I think these actors/actresses are the best on the show.
ReplyDeleteRegina Mills, the Regal Queen, of course.
ReplyDeleteEmma Swan, for life.
ReplyDeleteIs this even up for discussion? Emma, best badass on tv right now.
ReplyDeleteIt's mostly for the
ReplyDeletelaughs. I’m pretty sure that nobody here actually dislikes the character or the
actor *on principle* (meaning: if he gets better lines and is able to deliver
them convincingly – people will change their minds), but Henry is quite
obviously there just for the sake of other characters reacting to his existence
and/or to something he said. Which tends to make for a rather one-dimensional hero.
We’re supposed to care for him, but there isn’t much to care for except that he
is a cute child that all the other characters care about...
Killian and Regina. I also like Emma and Henry (shame on me?). Belle is the worst.
ReplyDelete#1 Emma Swan, #2 Hook and #3 Regina.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm almost proud of Henry for getting 12 whole votes!! For me though; Regina, Hook and Rumple.
ReplyDeleteI really like Henry bless him. I think its funny that Emma came a lowly fourth and Snow was the least favourite bar Henry. People are starting to get really irritated with the way they are writing Emma's character in 3b.
ReplyDeleteHe's a kid. He isn't going to be as good as the adult actors. Think of all the Harry Potter lot when they were his age. Daniel Radcliffe was like a thunderbird. He's not had much in 3b but that is hardly his fault that the writers have passed him pillar to post and left him out of most of the story line.
ReplyDeleteI never said it *was* his fault, mind you.
ReplyDeleteMine are, in order, Emma, Charming, Regina, Hook and Rumple!
ReplyDeleteI think Jared Gilmore's a great actor. He did Peter/Henry magnificently! I think they give him lousy material though. They use Henry as a tool, not a character.
ReplyDeleteOUCH @ Hook having more votes than Emma. This further proves that CS shippers only see her as a love interest for Killian. With Rumple and Regina (aka the only 2 characters that matter on this show) you have Belle and Robin Hood but people are here for them first beyond "shipping".
ReplyDelete"I think they give him lousy material though. They use Henry as a tool, not a character."
ReplyDeletePrecisely my point.
People like Hook? Lol what? I'm honestly surprised. He's so lame.
ReplyDeleteNow if they did side characters they are Red/Ruby Grumpy/Leroy Robin Hood Tinkerbell now if also they did characters you like but hate who they pair with mine are Emma and Hook don't see the romantic chemistry that people see to me Hook had more chemistry with Tinkerbell Regina Milah and Emma had more chemistry with Graham and Mad Hatter then she does with Hook
ReplyDeleteWhat an idiotic comment. I ship CS but my fav character is Emma, always been from the start. You wanna start fights, don't ya? Why turning a civil poll into a fandom war? You're very childish and bitter, my dear. Generalizations always make people look silly, please stop.
ReplyDeleteI think Emma is an interesting transformation over the time. From a uninterested third party to invested as the savior back to uninterested third party.
ReplyDeleteRegina, Rumple and Belle.
ReplyDeleteApparently CS fandom is working hard LOL
ReplyDeleteEmma isn't popular at all but she's in 3rd place...
Regina. Hands down.
ReplyDeleteIn second place, Emma Swan.
I don't think it's a matter of like or dislike though. I like him just fine...but he's not my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteRegina (she's the best) and Snow! I'm surprised she didn't get more votes, especially in the EF she's great and her and charming are a nice couple. Like all the rest of them, except for Hook
ReplyDeleteI totally concur! They're my favorites too! :D
ReplyDeleteRegina Mills of course❤️🍎
ReplyDeleteCharming + Regina
ReplyDelete=EvilCharning😄
ReplyDeleteEmma is one of the most loved character, I've found. Why do you think she's not popular o.O she's the hero the GA relate to, the only one not used to the magical fuckery. It's pretty weird to think she's not loved. So far I've never seen any hate thrown her way.
ReplyDeleteRegina and Charming this season. Charming is usually always one of my top favorites but the women on the show have changed places depending on the season.
ReplyDeleteNot sure where I'd place Rumple, but it would be before Hook and Henry. Though Hook has made more sense than Emma when it comes to her wanting to leave Storybrooke.
The actors play them remarkably well.
ReplyDeleteRegina -the best :D
ReplyDeleteHenry's not a top favorite of mine, but I don't get the hate either. To me he's a smart kid. People seem to forget that he's a kid and expect him to be perfect or something. I always laugh when someone asks why he can't be less annoying. Maybe cause he's young and people can't seem to like any kids except their own. lol
ReplyDeleteLooks wise Ruby is the first ;) hah jk aside, Emma. She's been my favorite from the start, there's something pretty heartbreeaking about the lost girl, the orphan finally finding home but having to deal with magics, enemies and the weight of being the Savior. Jennifer Morrison sells the heck out of it, I love Emma - closed off, or not. It's not easy to be the "straight man" of the show, the one not impressed with magical tricks and men thrown her way.
ReplyDeleteI like everyone, but I've always been on Team Regina even when she was completely bad.
ReplyDeleteShe's not SO loved. Look at the other polls...everyone knows that Regina and Rumple are the most beloved characters, they win every poll. It's easy: the CS armada is working harder than the others. Good job tho!
ReplyDeleteRegina of course.
ReplyDeleteRegina Mills. My Queen <3
ReplyDeleteShe is popular, with the GA, immensely. Also, it's the SWEN fandom that's made her no.2. We're voting for Emma and Regina.
ReplyDeleteWell I hate CS and Emma is my fav character, so you're wrong, lol but keep trying, you're kinda funny. It's almost as if you think YOUR opinion is the same one of all the million of viewers who watch the show. How cute.
ReplyDeleteEmma, and Snow. Why doesn't anybody vote for Snowing? They are the best!
ReplyDeletePretty much.
ReplyDeleteLol no one likes Henry
ReplyDeleteMy OTP! ♥ They've had so many great moments this season! :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy I'm not the only one who likes them! :D
ReplyDeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteRegina, obviously. She the only character with depth and the only one who has shown some growth in the last three years.
ReplyDeleteThe core cast (Regina, Emma, Rumple, Snow, Charming and yes Henry as well) >>>>>
ReplyDeleteEmma, Followed by Snow and Charming.
ReplyDeleteLana Parilla and Robert Carlyle do a good job with their characters and while I appreciate them, I don't like them.
Regina did move to the front in season 2, and it didn't work out so well for the show because they tried to make her both evil and sympathetic at the same time..
ReplyDeleteHook and Emma. Third fave is Rumple.
ReplyDeleteI love Emma, i always loved Emma all the way in season 1, its her journey but i also adore Hook, but overall if i have to choose i say Emma
ReplyDeleteLove the Charmings too!
Emma, Hook, Charming and Snow overall!!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinately idiotic pretty much all the comments that keeps complaning rather then saying who they like and making crappy wars it seems. Immaturity at its finest
ReplyDeleteit's not that I don't like Henry per say, it's just the actor that plays the character is terrible! If it was play by another boy maybe I'll be ok with him.
ReplyDeleteI find it funny how most people have really strong feelings towards Hook. They either love or hate him. But I just couldn't care less? He's good looking, period. I still have to discover what is the point of his existence, besides being Emma's love interest.
ReplyDeleteHook for male character and Regina for female character.
ReplyDeleteIf Lana Parrilla left the show, I would have less than zero reasons to watch.
ReplyDeleteYeah I get what your saying. I agree with it to a certain extent but my actual point in this comment was WHY do people have do speak ill of the character when they are obviously voting for others. i don't see any hate for any other character on this comment section except for Henry, or at least very little anyway. It's something i will never understand about ths fandom
ReplyDeletefor me killian, emma and regina
ReplyDeleteRumple and Belle always.
ReplyDeleteOh please... Your so called CS armada is a Hook armada. They don't care about Emma at all. They are even complaining in tumblr about Hook losing to Emma.
ReplyDeleteOther people like Emma, like SF and SQ, so please stop trying to make everything about CS.
Emma of course <3333333333
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, this isn’t unique to this fandom. It’s something
ReplyDeleteyou see happening over and over again whenever an annoying character presents
itself and the powers that be refuse to do anything about it (either by
improving the material the actor/actress gets or by removing the character from
the equation). Neelix from Star Trek: Voyager comes to mind: the character was
played by a talented actor, but the material he was getting to work with was so
horrible that no amount of talent would be able to compensate for that. Despite
the fact that the audience hated Neelix, he was kept on the show almost until
the very end of the last season, so the fans dealt with it by making jokes
about Neelix. Doesn’t mean that we didn’t appreciate the actor – we did, but
the character was a nightmare and had absolutely no business staying on the
show past the second season. Now, back to Henry... He’s not going to disappear
because – unlike Neelix – he is needed. At the same time, the writers do not
seem to have much of an idea about where the character is to go, hence he has
about as much to do as a decorative plant would. Consequently, people feel the
need to express their frustration and, by making it into a joke, find a way to
deal with it, which is a preferable alternative to writing hateful messages all
over the internet. Why the same thing doesn’t happen (at least to that extent)
to the other characters? Because, even if you don’t like them, they get enough
of interesting stories to keep you captivated, most of the time. I don’t care
for many of the main characters, but even if they get a centric story, there’s
usually something to keep me watching... rather than checking the time and
asking myself why do I have to watch a scene about nothing when there are so
many more involving plots that need developing on this show. Again, I don't think this is people hating on Henry; I think they just turn their frustration over the character that exists practically only to be used as a tool (to use Famous4it's apt comparison) into a standing joke...
Definitely a good choice on the writers part here... even if not so good for his relationship with Belle.
ReplyDeleteHe was more fun back when he wasn't following Emma around with sad eyes, I think.
ReplyDeleteAriel and Eric
ReplyDeleteEmma and Regina of course
ReplyDeleteRegina and Belle
ReplyDeleteRegina all the way. And Emma too, the whole show is about them. Also I like Rumple and Belle, but Charmings and Henry are quite annoying -.-
ReplyDeleteMine is Zelena, along with Hook, even if they made him look like an idiot because of Emma .-.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what's even worse? With the way this is going (with him and Emma getting stuck together in the past, which in tv-language means "bonding") the next stage in Hook's "development" just might be a smug I-Have-A-Girlfriend-Just-Look-At-The-Handsome-Me...
ReplyDeleteHenry esta fodido
ReplyDeleteRegina <3
ReplyDeleteRumple and Belle (not Lacey)...Lacey was not a character but a curse that lasted a few days, and is completely gone.
ReplyDeleteReally, Emma is my favorite and i think Jennifer is a big part of that. She sells the dimensions of that character so well; and i love how she is slowly showing her opening up, but knows her well enough that one set back puts her back at square one. Emma is a work in progress, and i think Jennifer makes her nuanced and interesting. i love her sass, too.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the hype for Lana's acting tho. The woman is flat as hell in her crazy scenes a lot, and she is ok in the emotional stuff, but when she has to do the in-between she is really boring. She hasn't found that character in the slower moments.
I like Ginny; even though the writing has let her down a lot.
Colin sells hook really well .
Emma, Snow, Charming, and Hook
ReplyDeleteEspecially Emma, Charming, and Hook- those characters are just chemistry bombs- great together and alone.
Least Fav-OMG Belle. Emile is the worst. She was bad on lost but here she is really ugh. The stilted dialogue, the overacting, the flat line deliveries. She basically is an impassioned line reader; no nuance.
Also; I don't hate her, but Regina has gotten really annoying this season. Her character is like a 5 year old at best , and this psycho bitch on the other hand. And it doesn't help that in the evil scenes Lana is not threatening at all.
I understand you like her. And I think a lot of people agree. But, personally, I don't. I can't buy her acting, that's all.
ReplyDeleteAs for Lana, I also disagree. Do I think she is the best actor in OUAT? No, but I believe she sells her connection with other actors well and has good "off-scene" reactions (meaning, she is on the scene and interacting even when merely along for the ride), which I personally find extremely important.
IMO, the only person who is truly terrific is Robert Carlyle. He is the one who shines in absolutely every scene. And he gets no recognition for it, which is a shame.
Wow. Generalise much? Even IF some CS don't "care about Emma" as you claim, doesn't mean all CS don't care about her. Smh.
ReplyDeleteWell said. The digs at Captain Swan fans is uncalled for, utter nonsense and like you said, incredibly immature. It's a multiple choice poll and I voted for BOTH Emma and Hook. I care about them both.
ReplyDeleteBelle French? Lol, it's Lacey French, French is the Storybrooke name. (Sorry if this has already been posted in the other comments, too many to go over)
ReplyDeleteMe, generalizing? What a hypocrite! You cannot say that about this other ships. SFand SQ care mostly about the couple because they want the couple to become a family together (with Henry). You blame Regina for 'ruining’ Emma's life? Well Regina did give Emma her happy ending, a life that Emma still wants to go back to. Moreover, Neal, he never expected anything from Emma, he just wanted her to be happy, after all that she had been through. Hookers are just a bunch of apologist and hypocrites. You might be right and not all of you only care about Hook, but the great majority just like the ship because they want to be on Emma's shoes because Collin is so hot. Don't come here and patronize me with your accusations about SF and SQ. At least, they had tried to fix their relationship with Emma and her family. Hook is only in the show to act as a misogynist pig that can't take a 'no' for an answer.
ReplyDeleteRegina/Evil Queen !!!! The BEST
ReplyDeleteI'm not a hypocrite....notice that I used the word "some". You need to work on your reading comprehension, sweetheart. Whereas YOU didn't. You were just rude and childish. We care about Emma and Hook to become a couple just like the other ships. So please stop making assumptions. If it's true what you're saying, then those people you speak of are NOT real Captain Swan fans. As for Hook being a "misogynist pig" and not taking "no" for an answer, when did she actually say no? When she called out "Hook" (and not Neal) when BOTH Hook and Neal were in danger in 3x07? When she brought up Hook's name in 3x10 in her conversation with David when he was pushing her toward Neal? When she left Henry in Hook's care THREE times (3x12, 3x16 and 3x17)? When she said "Good" to his "There's never a day that'll go by that I won't think of you" and was looking quite longingly at him in 3x11? When she asked him if he wasn't joining her and her family for dinner in 3x17? When she clearly was giggling and showing off her magic in his company in 3x18? When she was waiting for him to join the Charming/Regina meeting on how to defeat Zelena in 3x19? When said "come back to me Hook (which is a parallel to the Snowing one) in 3x20? When she kissed him in 3x05 because she was attracted to him? And yeah, she IS attracted to him and has a CONNECTION to him - Jennifer Morrison has stated that repeatedly and I choose to take HER (and the writers) word for it over your agenda driven nonsense-who CLEARLY is NOT paying attention to what is unfolding onscreen and just sees what you want to see. The bottomline Emma DOES want him around and DOES care about him - those examples I've listed as well as what the writers/actors said on the matter proves that. She never said "no" to him. And if you're referring to when she choose Henry over Hook and Neal - well then you should apply the "he doesn't take no" for answer to NEAL as well - since he wanted to get back with her too, even though she clearly was NOT interested. Otherwise you're just a hypocrite. And Hook has NEVER forced himself on Emma. All he did was say he was going to win her heart (and she could have shut him down at that moment but didn't) and believe in her and be there for her. He accepts her as she is and encourages her to embrace what makes her special (i.e. her magic - e.g. "you're the saviour, it's time you embraced it"). You also clearly do NOT understand the character of Emma - the reason she is so hesitant in letting Hook in is because of her incredibly painful past (which REGINA AND NEAL played a VERY large part in). Everytime she got close to man, they betrayed her and/or died in her arms (Neal, Walsh, Graham). Emma was starting to let Hook in in 3x17 (i.e. "I'm tired of living in the past"; "you're not joining us (for dinner)? And in 3x18- she was CLEARLY annoying his company when she was playing around with her magic in the dinner. In 3x19 and 3x20, her walls went up again because he hurt her by lying to him, NOT because she doesn't have feelings for him. Now, I've explained my position, citing examples that happened ON SCREEN, not in my imagination.
ReplyDeleteHa, I need reading comprehension skills? I'm generalizing, but you keep using 'we' to refer about all of you CS shippers? I even said that you might be right about generalizing the vision of the whole fandom, so please stop pretending I'm the bad guy here. You are the one making a big tantrum about what I think about your ship. I apologize if my rebuttal sounded harsh, but I won't revoke my point of view. Like I said before my encounters with CS shippers hasn't been good and perhaps that's why I'm inclined to say that at least most CSers are a bunch of apologist and Hookers (And you are not helping your case here). I started reading your reply, but I can't honestly force myself to finish it. She hasn't say no? Do you really need someone to spell it out for you? N-O, no! Work together? How? Emma saving his ass every five seconds? Make each other happy? The best in each other? Oh God... There are so many things wrong in CS, but I got the feeling this won't be a calm rational debate, so I'm just going to say that while I don't like nor condone the CS relationship, I respect your viewings of the show.
ReplyDeleteActually, the only rational one of us two, is me. I have given examples of what happened ON THE SHOW that Emma does CARE about Hook and I've also EXPLAINED why she kept him at arms length - i.e. her painful past is the reason why she put up walls and that it's hard to let people in and trust them. She did the same to Henry (in season 1)and her parents (season 2), not just Hook. It's a pattern with her. You clearly don't understand the character of Emma at all. I also asked you to give examples of when she said "NO", ON THE SHOW, not your warped interpretation to fit your agenda. Now I'm done trying to reason with you. Goodbye!
ReplyDeleteRegina is the only reason I've stuck around this long since season 2 began. Any other characters that could have also done that were written off or hardly featured anymore.
ReplyDeleteThat said, Red/Ruby needs to come back, and I wouldn't mind seeing a little more Mulan and Kathryn.
I also liked Cora, but the only reason I'd want her back is to trade places with Hook. She's the only one who could successfully keep him in line and hold him accountable for anything.
