Once Upon a Time made like Snow White. The Shadow Queen made me love her. Lorelai is not your typical Snow
white character. She's willing to fight for her kingdom to take it back from
the evil queen. To me The Shadow Queen is what would happen if you took Snow
from Once and combined her with Emma
from Once.
Lorelai
is Snow from the first seasons flash backs and Emma, because she's tough like
Snow and has magic like Emma. However
that is where the similarities to Once
end. The evil queen in The Shadow Queen isn't a misunderstood
victim, she's just plain evil there's no redeeming her.
However
The Shadow Queen isn't a Once
retelling it's an unique twist on the whole Snow White story. It's a story that shows that princesses can
save themselves that they aren't all damsels in distress.
