Clip from season 1 episode 9 Nothing To Fear Jafar meets the jabberwocky who uses jafars worst fear against him. A memory from his childhood of when his father drowned him
Honestly, the Jabberwocky has to be one of my favorite OUATiW characters and OUAT Villains. Although the it's a shame we never got a backstory. After the Jabberwocky that monsters aren't born but made I thought they would show her backstory. But oh well
Mmm mmm I can kinda guess considers she herself one of the stepsisters I think the mother they had was too strict and she was mostly the one who caught it the worse which made her lash out and become the way she is I'm guessing
The memory itself isn't Jafar's worst fear - it's what it represents to him. Helplessness. Powerlessness. The total absence of control over a situation. This is why Jafar seeks power and never seems to be satisfied unless he has it all - he wants to be the one doing the hurting, not the one getting hurt. He doesn't want anything like that to ever happen again. Of course in the end, thanks to his own despicable deeds, his worst fear ends up becoming his new reality.
You have got to be kidding me. The Jabberwocky is supposed to be a monster. But I could handle the Jabberwocky being a woman if she was actually scary. This is pathetic.
Well although I haven't really cared too much for the spin-off,, but in the original series, they do things like this quite a bit. Rumplestiltskin is the crocodile from Peter Pan and he's Beast from Beauty and the Beast. Next, the son of Rumple is one of the Lost Boys and Peter Pan is the Pied Piper. So it isn't too surprising they made the Jabberwocky look like a person, and monsters don't have to look like a monster. Lets take real life monsters for example, they're called people.
josephnicholasgallan I know that they do this thing all of the time in the parent show, I was hoping that one time they would just have a good old fashioned monster. Although this version of the Jabberwocky has grown on me quite a bit. The only things that bother me now are her hair and makeup. They are trying to go for a cross between woman and monster and it just isn't working. She should either be more ordinary looking, or they should have gone all out like they did with Rumplestilskin
Tiffany Stewart at the time I wrote this comment I wanted the Jabberwocky to just be a scary monster. I was getting tired of Ouat's formula of always making the villain sympathetic. As I continued to watch the show I came around to liking this version of the character. I still think the hair, makeup, and costuming is atrocious.
girlysword You do realize most shows make their main villains eventually sympathetic? Sylar from Heroes, Niklaus from The Originals and Damon/Katherine/Silas/Tessa from Vampire Diaries are all perfect examples of this.
