One can argue that he is the true Main character. Everyone was really just along for the ride for his fall and rise. the whole series is really just a redemption story.
Is it just me or is Robert Carlyle on a whole nother level as opposed to the other actors? Don't get me wrong they are all lovely and really good at what they do, but Robert sends shivers down my spine, and gives me goosebumps whenever he speaks. Each and every damn time.
Robert Carlyle's acting is always great, but in this episode, I think he probably drew on personal experience, since in real life, his egg donor(as far as I'm concerned, she doesn't deserve to be called a mother) abandoned him when he was 4. I'm sure he's put the pain behind him now, but this had to strike a nerve in his mind.
Nina, you are absolutely right, the experiences that Robert had to go through in his childhood and youth were mostly disastrous. Being abandoned by his mother (he himself says he was three...but not that important) is traumatic and his father couldn't give him much more than love for the first few years. This time had a strong influence on him and made him who he is today. He is extremely strong in character and at the same time sensitive and empathetic. Without talking much about it, he supports, for example, projects and non-profit organizations that make the lives of homeless and disadvantaged people (especially children) a little brighter. As an actor, he immerses himself deeply in his roles (method acting), lets them get to him, allows the pain, almost loses himself in it. This is what makes his acting so extremely convincing and brilliant (always...). Robert has my utmost respect, as an actor and as a person.
I love the way Emma sort of tries to relate to Rumple, after everything he’s done, after everything he’s put her and her family through, she still understands him! She wants to help him and yes it is for the good of all of Storybrook but you can really tell that no matter anyone’s past everyone is family there! Including Rumple! She wants to be there for her family!
Ellenerouz Salama you didn’t annoy me at all! I agree, they have a lot in common and share a lot of struggles that others wouldn’t be able to understand and even though I don’t consider friends per say, I still believe their’s something that connects the two of them!
He more than deserved it... In fact, Robert has only been nominated once, along with other actors, for the TV Guide Award (Favorite Ensemble). The series has been nominated a total of 91 times in different categories and has won 12 of them. Robert himself has not won a single award, he has not even been nominated. And that is incomprehensible to me, as he has shown an absolutely strong performance with the portrayal of the different sides of his role. No, I don't understand...
Pan blame his son for the losing his wife but it was her own fault that her is banish and turn evil. She try to save her son from his destiny of drying as a hero but ending up ruining his life instead live miserable life that lead him becoming the dark one. She could have end her destiny of being the great evil and being with her family but instead she ends her son destiny of being a great hero .
You're absolutely wrong. She was only the great evil because blue made her that way. Had blue not banished her she wouldn't have become the great evil. She would have severed his destiny as the savior and raised him as her son. Being a savior is a deaths sentence ultimately and isn't a good thing. She was trying to save her son and blue Fairy was being a jackass like she always does. Also, had blue and red not lied to Pan about what happens to black fairy he wouldn't have hated rumple so much. They lied and said she was dead when in fact she wasn't. They could have sent Pan and Rumple to the same place they sent her and let their family be together but they didn't and blue is a evil jackass for lying
@@nicholasjohnson8191 Nah. People gotta stop blaming Blue for other people's choices. There's this thing called accountability. Blue made her choices and the other characters made theirs.
Oh, brilliant fucking job Blue Fairy and Tiger Lily!!! After witnessing Rumpel's father's reaction to his son, dripping with hatred, resentment and vitriol, you SERIOUSLY still thought it was a good idea to leave him to be raised in what will blatantly be an horrifically abusive environment...? Fucking fairies, man, they really are the WORST! 🙄
Right! I don't like the Blue Fairy because she acts so self righteous, and she's selective on who she is willing to help. She basically no longer cared about Rumple because he wasn't the savior anymore, otherwise she would've stepped in, or had Tiger Lily check up on him.
@@flo1242 Yeah Blue is a self righteous little knat who thinks everything is her way or the high way and if it doesn't fit into her plans oh well it doesn't matter. She refused to help regina JUST because she was Cora's daughter, she refused to try and help rumple get back to his son (nor did she explain well to bae what the bean would do I don't believe that was AT ALL an alturistic or loving move) and here she dumps a kid into an abusive home because they are no longer important enough. Not to mention screwing things up for dreamy and nova.
I don't really blame Tiger Lily since she did have good intentions and I feel like she probably would've watched over Rumpel growing up if maybe Blue had let her. I think Blue either didn't care about him anymore once his fate was cut, or maybe saw his future of becoming the dark one and knew they couldn't interfere. I wonder if maybe not being able to help Rumpel with his father is why Tiger Lily became disillusioned with the fairies like Blue and left? She is the only fairy we know of that consciously gave up her wings and forewent being a fairy to exile herself for her part in creating the Black Fairy.
Mr. Gold you were a better father you give your soul and heart for love you were a coward in beginning but only because you were not going leave your first wife was wrong you were a hero a ture coward would gone in that battle dead you choose a way out by giving up your foot to safe your son from loness of a father
@@soixsantes that show mr gold his ture feeling of his power as in rumple never truly love his power it was just cocaine to him a thing could not get ride of
This shows how Rumple is a foil to Emma; they were both orphans, destined for greatness, both became the Dark One, Rumple did it out of fear for himself and how his son will see him while Emma did it out of fear for losing Hook. Then they both decided to sacrifice their own desires and themselves for their friends and families
Yeah, the oh so great Blue Fairy could not even be bothered to call child protective services, now that the boy is no longer the saviour. Seriously, she could have at least done SOMETHING. I doubt I hate any character on this show more than the hypocritical, sanctimonious, holier than thou Blue Fairy. Funny that her Storybrooke persona is a leader of a monastery, they were definitely not subtle about that at all.
And yes, while those commiting child abuse are worse than those who excuse it, Rumple's parents only freaked up his life through his childhood, and they did not pretend to be the best person in the world. The Blue Fairy has freaked up the lives of many others, never truly reflecting on her mistakes, still maintaining she is the absolute arbiter of what is moral and just. Hell, just look at Tink and Grumpy. She absolutely destroyed their happiness, while deluding herself into thinking it was the right and moral thing to do. She may be ancient, but time does not equate to wisdom.
ONCE UPON A TIME WOULD NIT BE THE SAME WITHOUT TWO CHARACTERS PETER PAN AND RUMPLE. WELL DONE ROBBIE KAY AND WELL DONE ROBERT CARLYLE FOR BEING THE VILLAINOUS DARK ONE WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE. LONG LIVE RUMPLESTILSKIN LONG LIVE PETER PAN AND LONG LIVE ONCE UPON A TIME!!!!!!!!
None of the events of the show would’ve happened if the fairies had just told Malcolm the truth about what happened to his wife!!! Then he wouldn’t have hated Rumple, would’ve realized what his wife did, and raised Rumple like a good parent should.
Maybe Malcolm wouldn't have hated Rumpel. But no matter what the fairy would have told him, as a father he was unsuitable, irresponsible and weak in character. And if none of those events happened on the show, what the hell would we have been watching? 😅
And they still left Rumple with his father knowing that he hated him.....I am telling you the villain for Season 6, should have been Blue in disguise this whole time!!!
his name is Gideon Gold and he is the son of Rumpelstiltskin and Belle. he has a half brother named Neal Baelfire Cassidy. but he is sadly dead he. Neal is also the son of Rumpelstiltskin.
I wonder if Pan ever found out about Black Fairy his wife being alive all this time. He may have died not knowing she was never dead and hated rumple for nothing.
Nah fuck Pan. Even though everything was tragic af him blaming the child already shows he was a shitty person from day 1. You can clearly see since the beginning he doesn’t really love Rumple
