Princess-Yvonne I think Rumpel is probably the biggest evil. He is the Dark One. The greatest sorcerer. The Master Puppeteer. He is an Epic villain. All his evil, cruel actions are masterpieces. His reasons are interesting too. I love the way he thinks. I also adore his back-story. He is my favorite villain. I don't like Hook and gina. And as I've said hundreds of times before it has nothing to do with the fact that they are villains (I'm fan of many villains in many movies). I don't like them, to put it in a few words), because they are petty. We all have our favs and least favs. So just leave it like this.

claudia_bb Yeah, well.... gina raped & killed Graham, a good, innocent man who had never-ever harmed her or did her any wrong. Rumpel killed his wife, yes, but she wronged him, she had broken his heart and the heart of their child. Of course both murders are wrong -> just like both Rumpel & gina are evil. BUT look closer at the motives, reasons, way of action and you will see the difference! t

zanhar1 Thank you! This is all true! I'll just post an older comment I made on this subject; [i]What I'm saying is I've seen people say 'Omg Gina is so evil, she ripped Graham's heart out! It was unforgivable and cruel and inexcusable!" But later come back and say (when Rumple did the heart ripping) "Wow that was so cool/epic! Besides she did cheat on him, she deserved it." Graham sort of cheated on Gina, he broke her heart but it was unjustifiable when she ripped his heart out. So why is it justifiable when Rumple preformed the same action, in the same manner? Another good one; Gina has killed people, everyone says it was bad/beyond bad/ect. And I can't disagree, but the same people go back and say it's okay for Rumple to explode faeries or turn men into cockroaches and squish them because it's comical. It's not at all acceptable for Gina to kill people but it was fine when Rumple went about, as the dark one, killing innocent people. Is it because Rumple's murder tactics are more comical where as Gina's are more sister. In my opinion both are just as bad. To go along side that I've seen people say Gina should lose her magic because she uses it to torment people and what not. Once again can't disagree, that's bad, but Rumple seems to get away with it with the fandom. He turned a butcher into a pig, used it to harm Belle's dad, used it to bring fear to FTW citizens, and more, and no one seems to care. Now when Gina uses it to take Henry back or keep a mob from killing her it's bad. They both have reasons for doing things (Rumple for Bae and Gina to stay alive) both are some what good reasons but both are also still wrong. So why is it that Gina gets more chastising for her magic use than Rumple. And finally, vengeance. Both made innocent people suffer out of vengeance, okay for Rumple, but not for Gina. Gold got to sick a writhe (sp?) on Gina (trying to take her soul) and destroy parts of the town in the process. He according to Ruby caused damage to houses, and according to Charming made his job keeping the town in order more difficult. And Rumple is applauded for doing so simply because it was Gina whom he was attacking. He got to rip Mielah's (sp?) heart out for cheating on him. He got to kill a man for accidently hurting Bae. He got to cut Hook's arm off and so on. But Gina is hated for cursing Storybrook and locking Belle away and much more. Once again both were wrong, vengeance is never good, so why is Rumple always let off the hook and Gina is always insulted for it. And this isn't just on fanpop, I've seen this on Tumblr, YouTube, other Once discussion forums, and even Deviantart! So I was wondering if anyone else agrees or if I'm just seeing/over thinking things.[/i] and a link to the poll to hear the full reasoning; http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/once-upon-a-time/picks/results/1134017/im-not-making-poll-single-anyone-out-start-any-fights-but-think-fans-general-set-up-double-standards-what-rumple-gina-can-cant @Claudia tecnically he did wrong her; he said he'd carry out a task for her and didn't do so, he lied and betrayed her. And in Storybrook broke her heart. It's still not right, nor were Rumple's actions.

TVfan97 Completly agree with an artickle. This is a fantasy show, so it is not a suprise that villains like them do stuff like that. But if we are going to compare their sorts of action in a real life, then all 3 deserve some jail time. (lol)

delenasalvatore  I speak as one who enjoys all 3 characters. I too, have been uneasy when seeing comments from people who throw a mini-rant at Hook (for knocking Belle unconscious), but declare Rumple's actions are completely justifiable. Regina, Hook and Rumple are extremely complex, multi-dimensional characters. It doesn't do them any justice to label them as out and out evil because there's far more to them than that. I certainly think that fans who do so are missing out big time by refusing to see all the nuances that make them who they are, and only seeing them in one particular way. The hostility that some Rumple fans harbor towards Hook also troubles me. It seems that they can forgive and accept and justify everything Rumple does, and no matter what, they will never condemn it or it will never be as 'bad' as what someone else has done. People treated him so badly before he became 'dark', that his actions are totally understandable, and they believe that he has a 'right' to do whatever he does, or a free pass that lets him off. Now, I like Rumple. He's one of my favourite characters on the show. But I love Hook too. And I don't see why people can't be more accepting and regard both characters equally.

zanhar1 ^ Well said.

Princess-Yvonne I don't justify Rumpel's actions. I do know his backstory and know gina's backstory. I do see his way of thinking and I do see gina's way of thinking. I do see his way of acting and see gina's way of acting. And all these make me like Rumpel a lot and feel repulsion towards gina. as very well claudia said: how can I like a woman who raped a man? a poor innocent man. He was in no way linked to her, she deliberately went after him. she forced him to make evil errands, which were against his good nature. she took his heart out and forced him to have a sexual relationship with her. AND after that I should justify her by saying he wronged her because he refused to kill for her & refused to be in a humiliating, dehumanizing relationship?!.. on the other hand Rumpel did not force Milah to marry him, to be the mother of his child. They lived together for many years and he truly-deeply cared about her, provided her with all he could have given - spiritually and material. He gave her true, unconditional love. And she broke his heart, she humiliated him, she abandoned their family. I'm not justifying Rumpel's murder. I'm just saying that to something like this I can relate I never raped a man, nor forced him to do things he did not want for me. But I did have my heart broken by a man to whom I have given unconditional love. And felt many times .I would like to break his heart as he did mine. When Rumpel literally breaks that cheater's heart is the epic moment that symbolizes the metaphorical heartbreaking of all Cheaters, the Revenge of many broken people out there.

zanhar1 I'm sorry, but wasn't that whole last paragraph justifying? And Graham was linked to her in a way.

Princess-Yvonne It was justifying. It justified why I like Rumpel :), it did NOT justify his action ;) gina just went after graham and made him her slave.

zanhar1 If you say so. Tecnically he did wrong her; he said he'd carry out a task for her and didn't do so, he lied and betrayed her. She fufilled his end of the bargain but he did not fulfill hers. If he wasn't going to do it he should've denied her request. And in Storybrook broke her heart. It's still not right, nor were Rumple's actions.

claudia_bb zanhar1, I think you just do not read Yvonne's comments.. If you did you wouldn't go on and on about things she clearly explained just above.

magichand ^This is why i wrote an artickle. You and Princess-Yvonne, you're talking crap about Regina because of her action, while in rumpelstiltskin's action, you found some excuse. (Like i mention in artickle)

Princess-Yvonne "I don't justify Rumpel's actions. I do know his backstory and know gina's backstory. I do see his way of thinking and I do see gina's way of thinking.

Maybe I'm to subtle and you guys don't get it... HOW CAN I EXPLAIN IT MORE CLEAR?! Rumpel is evil. gina is evil. I like Rumpel. I don't like gina. I do not justify Rumpel. If I did I would say what he did was good, and that he is not evil. BUT I DON'T SAY THAT. I just justify why I like one and can't stand the other! Just because they are both evil it doesn't mean that they are both the same. Just because I like one evil character it doesn't mean I have to like all the evil characters in that show. Just because I like an evil character doesn't mean I have to dislike the heroes!

magichand OK, glad we clear this up.

zanhar1 @ Claudia_bb I don't think you read my comments if you did you would know that I simply said 'if you say so' in response to her comment, therefore not going on about it. Going on about what she said about Gina harming innocent Graham only proves I did read the comment as I wouldn't have caught that remark if I didn't. I do read her comment, want proof, follow the link and see for yourself; http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/once-upon-a-time/picks/results/1166127/proud-snow-because-saved-gina-again-preventing-execution In case you don't want to follow the link I'll sum it up; I read Yvonne's comment, and responded to the parts I disagreed with piece by piece. Now let me guess, you think I'm a b*** for going to in depth with my reading and point proving? And if you look above her first comment clearly says last edited beneath it! If I remember correctly 'I don't justify Rumpel's actions.' and was [i]not[/i] there before. So why don't [i]you[/i] read before [i]you[/i] comment. Before you butt into an argument and start scolding me learn to stop assuming things, you do not know me nor do you know my style or debating/word selection/typing style/etc. Just because someone continues to disagree with another does not mean they didn't read or understand the comment.

Princess-Yvonne @magichamd, sine this is your article, I'm glad you understood my point. P.S. @zanhar1 I modified my comment one minute after I wrote to modify some spelling rules.

minervadawn I wrote an article explaining this situation after reading this discussion: http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/once-upon-a-time/articles/199949/title/who-most-likable-villain-best-ouat-villain-favoritism-bias-free You guys should read it. It's 100% favoritism and bias FREE guaranteed.

ReibyKathBlack I never justify Rumple's action, but I do understand the reason why he became the way he is now. And by the way, I love all the villains on the show (yes, even Cora) because I think there are reasons why they are evil. (Even though Gina practically raped my poor baby Graham)

zanhar1 ^^^ believable enough

ReibyKathBlack Hahahaha, sorry. I can't help it

lilsisasu I love Rumpel, but I don't like that he killed his wife. I don't like Regina, but I feel a little sorry for her because of what Cora did to Daniel. Maybe if Cora hadn't killed him, she would be a nice person. But then, there would be no show! I can't really say much about Hook b/c I haven't got to watch much of the show.

Morgana-97 Each of them are evil in their own way. Look at this way: Rumple hate, Regina hate, Hook hate ------> That is just a proof that actors are doing a great job with their roles. :)

DR76 I like them better than the Charmings . . . even Rumpelstiltskin. ["oh, God, Hook beats women, he's a monster'' "] WTF? ["Even though Gina practically raped my poor baby Graham"] Good.
