The plot is flawed

The interesting thing about Fairy Tale Town is that it expands the original thin fairy tales, enriches the entanglement between characters, and makes the relationship between characters logically plausible.

I have now seen the eighth episode of the first season, and recorded the plot and discussion.

How did Henry, who was only ten years old, get to know the existence of his biological mother Emma, ​​investigate Emma's current address, and stay away from Fairytale Town to find Emma?

The first thing can be explained as he is curious about his background, and from the way his adoptive mother queen treats Henry like an adult, maybe he directly informs him of his background?

The second thing is to deduce the reason from the result. Henry is either very smart or has someone around him to help (or the dwarf monster is also involved in this matter for fear of chaos in the world? After all, when he first met Emma, ​​he was very Familiar, he should have been following Emma's dynamics) before he can reach Emma's door across the distance.

The third thing I suspect may be the problem of distance. Besides going out to work, Emma should live not far from Fairy Tale Town, and her own yellow car doesn't look like it can run long distances. sorry). If the distance is not too far, I can understand how Henry got to her house. I feel that it is impossible for a ten-year-old child to fly by himself, and he should be reported at the airport.

If everyone’s time is cursed and banned, how did Henry spend those ten years? Regarding the origin, the play mentioned that the gnome found him and adopted it to the queen, but it doesn’t mean that the people in Fairytale Town even Can't cross that line? How did Henry get to Fairy Tale Town?

Speaking of the ten years of growing up, even if everyone feels vague about the passage of time under the influence of the curse, but Henry's interpersonal communication and so on, it is obvious that the people in the town compare Henry (for example, he went to school and other children did not go to school) Can you feel the weirdness of the passage of time around you? Wait a minute, if Henry always feels that the people around him are acting strangely, that may explain why he believes that everyone is a character in a fairy tale, and that children need a well-established and well-established worldview.

...But Henry is too sure, isn't he? Henry should have experienced something or have intuition (I think this may be Henry's superpower, after all, Snow White's descendant Emma has a like to me buff as an ordinary person, and he should also have a special buff as a descendant of Emma) Otherwise, explain It does not make sense to his own beliefs, but the current plot does not clearly explain this.

Regarding the discussions I saw on the Internet, there was speculation that Henry was the reincarnation of the queen's father, Henry. I didn't think of this, but it didn't seem impossible, but there were also bugs.

Supporting reincarnation is because Henry knows too many things at his age that he shouldn't know or think about, and doesn't think like an ordinary ten-year-old child. In addition, if Henry is the reincarnation of old Henry, then because he was duped by his daughter in his previous life, he will be indifferent and ruthless in this life and directly dislike the adoptive queen? This change is too blunt, and the emotional change is too extreme and direct.

If not reincarnated, then Henry, as a brand new baby who may have some spiritual superpowers, treats his adoptive mother too strangely, believing that the adoptive mother is a bad person?

And the strangest and most incomprehensible relationship to me is the relationship between him and the queen.

The first is that the queen wanted to adopt when her memory was banned. An ordinary adult adopted a baby without knowing the inner complexities. The initial motivation must be based on love or motherhood, right? Otherwise, who would be willing to find such a trouble of no blood relationship for himself, and should be responsible for his school life and daily life. Therefore, Henry must have a smooth sailing in the past ten years, and he should not suffer from deliberate cold treatment both physically and mentally. But well, Henry's feelings for the queen are complete indifference, ignoring all nurturing graces, and firmly believing that she is evil from the very beginning. The pictures of them getting along in the play are that Henry is very reluctant in his heart, staying by the Queen's side like a little undercover agent.

In addition, I am also puzzled by the Queen's feelings for Henry. Does she have any love for Henry? Without knowing it, she may have adopted the grandson of Snow White with the help of gnomes based on motherhood and love, so she should love Henry. But on the other hand, she can not hesitate, even at the cost of possibly causing Henry's injury and the collapse of her world view (leading Emma to say "Henry is crazy" and timing it for Henry to overhear), but as long as she can occupy the The upper hand did not hesitate to pull Henry into the battlefield between her and Emma. That's not quite what a single mom should do, is it? I can still understand her other attitude towards Henry because she is too controlling and she really doesn't like Emma's group, but I can't understand this direct injury.

The last very tangled point is whether the queen has any memory. I've seen episode 8 so far, and it doesn't make it clear. If she has no memory, why would she know to crush the hunter's heart? If she has memory, why can't she make a better layout to achieve what she wants? The matter of memory is really vague, and I don't know if there is a clear explanation in the follow-up.

There is also the setting of the dwarf monster. What role does he play? At present, it is both good and evil. While promising to Snow White in the fairy tale timeline, he turned his head and sold the formula to the queen, while helping Emma campaign, while prompting the prince to implant false memories. The seventh episode explained his background in detail. There must be something to hate about poor people. I am very curious about whether his son is really biological or not. Now, I... I can only say that he feels to me like a piece of grass that is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

Now that I see the eighth episode, I feel like I can't keep up. There are suspense settings, but I haven't filled the holes and introduced new clues. It feels very tiring to hang over my head. When I read it, I was always confused. The more I read, the more confused I became. Although there are indeed some things that you need to study by yourself, you gave me a chance to see whether the conclusion is correct or not. Eight episodes have passed, and none of the pits I have been thinking about have been filled.

Finally, I praised Bai Xue's face value, her eyes are very good-looking, and the makeup on her is very in line with Bai Xue's setting. I especially like her apple blush that is very energetic and not greasy! !
