Regina loves him more than anything. She had to rip her own heart to avoid the pain and almost put herself to sleep. And her true loves kiss broke the curse
Regina was abusive toward him. She tried to convince him he was insane. Emma on the other hand gave him up because she was homeless, and had he grown up with her he would've had a horrible childhood. For that reason I think Emma is the superior mother for Henry.
No she was not. Regina loves Henry. She was hard on him because her mother Cora was hard on her. Regina cares for him and I think she would sacrifice herself to save henry. Regina wants the best for Henry.
Nathalie Navarro- No, she was abusive. She brought him to live in a Cursed town where he would be utterly alone, she tried to murder his biological mother, she attacked his sanity and in this very scene was ready to mindwipe him to she could possess him. She burned the spell when Henry pressed it, but she was ready to murder his grandmother to erase his free will. There is simply no way to twist the first two seasons so Regina looks like a good mother. It can't be done.
@@theyoshifankid i don't think his childhood ws all horrible i'n sure it was some what great i think it just went down hill when henry found out he was adopted and i think the only reason tht regina tried to convince him he was insane was because she was afraid og losing him i'm not trying to justify her actions just trying to eleborate on her side of the story
Yeah so kind. She was going to force him to love her against his will. And she decided to solve that problem which she caused in the first place. Such great mothering :).
Merita Peters - Yeah, but she didn't give up her Curse. That had to be forced out of her, and it nearly destroyed Henry. Nobody doubts that Regina loves Henry, that's not in question. It also doesn't change much.
These people in the comments are so ignorant and it honestly upsets me. BOTH Emma and REGINA are his mothers. They BOTH made mistakes in the past, but, in the end, they BOTH love their son.
Yeah, but isn't the really magnificent thing that Henry still does care about his mother? I love this scene because Henry steps between 'good' and 'evil' with BOTH sides trying to manipulate him and Regina actually listens to him and surrenders the curse. That's character growth and says something about Henry and Regina's relationship. She's still his mother. Those 10 years just can't be erased on both sides.
Oh for the love of - kid, would it KILL YOU to HUG your mother?!? She just surrendered and gave up her ONE chance to get back at her enemies - not to mention telling you that your love (real or curse-induced) is the one thing important to her - and you hug EMMA? Throw the poor woman a bone already! Maybe she wouldn't be so quick to try and screw everyone over if she thought you at least cared about her a little. *grumps*
IKR! I think of this every single time I see this scene, Henry hug your mother (Regina) show her that you love her! I hate how Henry's all "she doesn't love me she only pretends to", "you don't know what it's like with her my life sucks", Henry I know you're only 10 but please show Regina some respect! She's YOUR mother for crying out loud!
@@ashleypanzica4924 She's a mother who took him to a town where life was a misery of loneliness, lied to him repeatedly about important things, tried to convince him he was crazy when he was in fact the only sane one in town, and she knew it. Why would he doubt her claims of loving him? Because he knows she's a murderer, a torturer, that she murdered her own father and has a long track record of betrayals and crimes. She had to _earn_ his trust back, not demand it.

Julie M. - It would me more honest and true to say that _in spite_ of everything Regina has done _to_ Henry, he still loves her. He's the reason she's still alive in S2.
Everyone's here fighting over Regina and Emma, I just want to point something out to people who say that Neal was never a good father. He screamed "Henry, get out of away" when he was trapped in between David and Regina's battle. And Emma had to physically restrict him from going to save him. He was a really good dad. Regardless of what he did to Emma in the past.
No doubt he loved Henry. We didn't get a good enough look at them together long enough to evaluate how good a father he'd have been on a day-to-day basis. I liked Neal, though, and I wish they'd kept him around.
I would of love to have seen more scenes between him and Regina since they are both parents of Henry. It was always Emma&Neal or Emma&Regina interactions
Emma is his mother. But Regina is *his* mom. Regina raised him, was there for every tantrum, every fever, his first words, his first laugh, his first smile, his first steps, first time sitting up, first everything for *10 years* - I don’t agree with her actions in season one, but there’s not one doubt that she loves him more then anything. (Yes Emma loves him too, but she’ll never be able to have the love/connection Regina and Henry share for those first 10 years of his life)
blood don't make family love does Emma might have birthed him but he is Regina Emma did not want him so Henry is Regina love and family they say Emma is the savory and is supposed to give every there happy ending yet she is ripping away Regina Emma just gave him away i understand that part but she said no contact she ask for a closed adoption so really she is kidnapping him be cause she is a minor and Henry treated Regina so bad at least she did not give him up so Emma needs to stop acting like that he is Regina Once Upon a Time
Poor henry... he does ALOT to keep this fued as clean as possible. He's the peacemaker. Im just glad that by the second half of season three the whole my son, no my son, thing is over. He's bolth their sons. Emma gave him up, regret it and now relises she can be a mom. Regina is not evil any more. Snow wite sliped ,told cora about her true love and regina just didn't know how to handle the agony that danial was dead due to that slip up. She didnt know how to forgive snow. I'm glad she's not evil anymore because henrys the one who had to calm anyone down and he's not even working for arche. In other words, archie, do your jod save henry the time and stress.
Regina was Henry’s mother. End of discussion. Her past as the EQ had nothing to do with the fact she raised that boy as her own child from a baby and he turned out perfectly fine. She did not mistreat him at all from what we saw. And then Emma turns up and starts calling herself his mother. No, doll.
Regina raised him, she is just as much maybe even more of his mother then Emma. She knows his first word, she knows when he lost his first tooth, she knows when he started walking, Emma only showed up a few months ago and got on her high horse so quickly it’s ridiculous. At best she is an acquaintance to Henry with how much she knows about him
For the first two seasons Regina was a horrible mother to Henry. She lied to him and tried to manipulate him, and when that didn’t work, she wanted to cast a curse on Henry to make him love her. Emma gave him up, yes, but she was also willing to be in his life and grew to care about him. The reason she gave him up was because she was homeless.
Emma gave birth to him but it was Regina who loved and cared for him for most of his life. Regina is good and people stop hating on her. Give Regina chance, she made mistakes and did a lot of terrible things but she is human. Everyone deserves a second chance
Nathalie Navarro - No, Regina is not 'good'. Regina is a murdering, controlling, murderous, raping, tyrannical monster, or was until lately. That's the TV show canon, it was right there on the screen in the flashbacks and in season one. Regina got a second chance. And a third chance, And a fourth chance. And a fifth chance. She _finally_ did take one and use it, but not before doing incredible harm and hurting and killing many, many people. A little gratitude and humility on Regina's part would be appropriate.
People clam down in the future henry considers them his moms and they both are in his heart and they both love him and both did what they thought was best for him
- We can have everything… Not this way. And he was right. Regina changed and got her happy ending as the Good Queen, with two Henrys, and no Emma Swan❤️
I don’t know what to believe. Either Which one is a better mother for Henry. Regina abused Henry in season 1 and 2 mostly season 1, Regina tried to Convince Henry he was insane, tried to kill Emma, and did almost everything she could to make the town convince Henry he didn’t need that fairytale book because Regina wanted Henry to believe he was Insane or stop him from knowing it, and of course this scene, and in some other seasons Regina grew to become a better mother and person, while Emma on the other hand was an amazing mother throughout the seasons but after a few seasons it just seemed like she cared for Hook more than Henry
and this is why they kept killing off regina's moments of happiness. her fiance, her father, her mother, almost her 1/2sister, but then her actual soulmate. then he came back as a wish and got with her not-so evil half. still regina's happy ending is the world she lives in, and in the end, she always puts our henry first. emma was sent away as a baby, raised an orphan, then met lily &neal both were destroy by choices the latters made to hurt her. one resulted in henry's birth and the other been adopted by the snowqueen. in the end, august was the one who started it all he was meant to watch over emma. and look where it got her? her son's father is dead, her first actual fling was murdered by her son's adoptive mother, her first baby daddy was technically killed by her son's adoptive aunt, her second baby daddy almost tried to kill her and her family after she made him a dark1 to save his life, in the end, her son's fathers 1/2brother was destined to kill her, bc of her son's paternal gr8grandmother was destined to destroy her own sons life. nonetheless. henry belongs to both regardless. he now calls them both "moms" which is adorable. but before neal died, this was henry's life. and he still barely knew his father even then, not even in neverland bc they had already planned to kill him off so his birth mother could sail with his father's mother former lover. when henry deserved to know neal, even rumple did. but neal died, and henry's happy ending became his family and not his 3parents. belle replaced rumple's happy ending as hook became emma's when neal's happy ending was henry. yet he was forced to resurrect rumple so he could defeat his murderer, when it was regina all along. sometimes i think this show can be so absurd that it drives me crazy, nvm whats going on in s7 nowadays OMFG
His argument is as stupid as blaming a tool for the actions of a person. People make choices, be those choices wise or in poor judgement. This makes me think someone is trying to make susceptible people dumb.
See, now this comment just makes me angry in that it completely disregards any healthy relationships kids might have with their adoptive parents. No, that doesn't mean that I'd call Henry and Regina's relationship healthy but it does mean that you can't just disregard Henry's feelings like that. From all we know, Regina has been there for Henry during the first 10 years of his life when no one else has.
Becca J - But Regina herself was the reason she was the only one in his life. Her Curse and her treatment of everyone else in town kept Henry isolated.
I can't be only one who hates Henry's character. The way he treats his mother- his REAL mother- Regina is apalling. And to everyone who says that Regina isn't fit to be a mother because she's the evil queen: you all have no idea what a mother is. A mother is the person who clothes you. Feeds you, takes care of you when you're sick, etc. Emma gave up Henry. Regina is the one who raised him, so Regina is his mother. If you adopted a child and then their birth mom came back ten years later wanting to take them back, you wouldn't allow it. The fact that Henry keeps giving Regina the middle finger-figuratively- is infuriating. This kid is a brat😡
Eleana Russell - Regina treated Henry _horrifically_ . She was a terrible mother. Somehow that gets lost when people make up this wonderful, caring person who just loved Henry and wanted what was best for him. Well, that's something Regina's fans _made up_ . In the canon, Henry was growing up in a town where he was utterly, totally alone. He could make no friends his own age, because he was growing older and they were frozen in time. He couldn't bond with the other adults because his mind was clear and their minds were clouded by the Curse. All he had was Regina...who was visibly treating everyone in town like dirt, behaving like a horrible human being, and who had to start lying to Henry as soon as he was old enough to perceive the Curse and its effects. "Mom, how come all my friends in first grade are still 6 and in first grade and now I'm 8?" She started trying to convince him that he wasn't seeing what he was seeing, and Henry was strong enough to resist that, but it was driving them apart. The book didn't separate them, it just allowed Henry to _finally_ have some hope, and to figure out what was wrong. He went and found Emma because Emma was Henry's _only hope_ of freedom from the Curse. Think about that. The wonder is not that Henry distrusts Regina, the amazing thing is that Henry still loves her after everything bad she's done.
@@shermanlee4037 Umm no. The only thing Regina did was hide the curse from Henry and tell him he was crazy for thinking it. Other than that she cared for him from birth onward. She changed his diapers, fed him stayed up with him when he was crying as a baby. She taught him how to read and write and talk and walk. She provided a roof over his head and a damn good roof at that, anything he could have possibly wanted she provided. Sure he outgrew all his friends and so what? What the fuck is a friend at that age? After the curse was broken she still was more of a mother to him them Emma. While Emma ran around playing hero Regina continued to put Henry first and her plans second. From season 1- season 6 Henry constantly gives her the middle finger because he's a spoiled entitled brat just like Snow White. He needs to constantly feel like he's the center of attention which is why he always tries to destroy magic. The only time he chilled out is when he was made the author because he finally felt like he was important even though he really wasn't. Henry is by far one of the worst characters in the show. Top three worst characters: Blue Fairy, Snow White, Henry.
@@nicholasjohnson8191 Ummm, yes. First of all, concealing the curse and lying to him about him being insane, _all by itself_ is grounds for Regina to lose him and for Henry to resent her. Regina took Henry to a Cursed town where time was frozen, and where he would utterly, totally _alone_ . He's the only one who ages, so he can't make friends with the other kids. The adults are mind-locked and can't perceive reality clearly the way Henry can, so he can't make friends with the adults, either. All he has is Regina, and she's lying to him and undermining his sanity. So that's pretty abusive all by itself.
@@nicholasjohnson8191 Regina _never_ put Henry first, until long after the Curse was broken. Putting Henry first means stopping the Curse, ending her war on the Charmings, accepting her own fault in her endless chain of murders, rapes, and atrocities. Putting Henry first means working to make up the psychological _damage_ she did to him by bringing him to the Curse in the first place. Damned right friends and connections matter. Likewise, the very fact that Regina ran around acting as if she was some kind of _victim_ proves that she wasn't ready to be a mother to Henry. Henry had every good reason to fear her, and resent her. She was a _monster_ . Granted, that changed, later on, when she was finally ready to start accepting responsibility for her own crimes and working to undo them. But not until. The claiming that Snow, or the Blue Fairy, or Emma, are somehow worse than a murderous, raping, torturing, brain-washing tyrant doesn't pass the laugh test. Snow, the Blue Fair, and Henry are flawed and imperfect _heroes_ . Regina, until well into Season Three, was a treacherous, abusive monster. I could list her crimes, but it's been done many times, and no, it wasn't Snow's fault for telling Cora about Daniel. We don't have to like that she was a monster, but there's no escape from what we saw on the screen.
U cant destroy magic so easily and destroying magic won't make things better . It will just make the world a cold hard and stagnant place. Henry doesnt get this.
I am not showing hate to any characters specifically but No more blaming magic, magic is not good or bad it’s a tool and it’s only bad if the person who yields it is
I find the comment section more funnier than the video it's self, due to everyone's taking sides although it's generally only a show and we all know this yet everyone still continues to make stupid war's over a show, if it was reality, then I could understand but come on people can't we all calm down it's not real for crying out loud lol, I'm on Emma's AND Regina's side since it's only a show there's no point in getting worked up all about it.
I couldn't agree more. Henry has no reason to even care about Regina. She's done nothing but try to make everyone think he was crazy and then tried to kill his real family. Her love for Henry may be real to some degree but honestly it's too possessive and that's not at all healthy. I'm glad he has Emma.
Do you know what I don't get here .... neal shoats at Henry to get out the way when Regina gets a fire ball like really .. do you really think she is going to throw a fire ball at her own son ... seriously......... she just wanted him to love her like she loves him ... # evil regals
Lucy Wright- How would Neal know Regina wouldn't harm him? They already know she's planning to murder Snow and mindwipe Henry! That's harming him right there! And never forget, NEVER forget, Regina _murdered her own father_, Henry's namesake, for purely selfish reasons. Of course people are afraid she'll hurt Henry!
I think it was more just seeing your kid in the line of fire, tbh. No matter if Regina wouldn’t have thrown the fire ball at him, you see your kid standing in front of a woman with a fireball in her hand and things can get kinda scary. Neal was kinda new here, too, so, you can’t really blame him for it.
UR! Why does everyone keep standing up for Regina. After all the evil she's caused. Doesn't matter her lame backstory that doesn't excuse the evil she's willingly caused. Magic or not.
What the actual? People in the comments are supporting REGINA?! Are you guys INSANE?! Regina was intending to FORCE Henry to love her against his OWN WILL. Doesn't that just scream psychopath to you? Plus she was trying to kill his grandmother whom he loves very much. Why was she trying to kill his grandmother? For killing someone to protect her husband and child. Plus you're forgetting Regina did NOT raise Henry lovingly. She was extremely abusive, and tried to convince him he was crazy. Emma gave up Henry because she was a homeless criminal. Do you honestly expect her to raise a child like that? Like her giving up henry, was probably the right thing to do for him, and the show seems to back that up. can you imagine growing up homeless? it gave henry a better life, even if it was with abusive regina. Emma for that reason is definetly the superior mother. And Baelfire. He did not know Henry was his son, so that's why he was absent from his life. Ever since he knew Henry was his son he was a very good father. With a choice between the two, Swanfire deserve custody over henry way more than Regina.
Emma even said to Regina she did not want to take Henry away from Regina, she was just in town to make sure he was alright. And when Regina offered Emma to take Henry away (she was faking it obviously but this happened when Regina made the set up where Emma would call Henry crazy in front of him) Emma declined the offer and said she was just there to make sure Henry was ok. So both in reality and from Regina's perspective Emma was not trying to be Henry's new mother as a replacement for Regina.
Actually Emma did not plan on staying in Storybrooke. In the first episode remember she was actually about to leave until she crashed her car and was put into the prison there for drinking and driving. Then she got out by offering to help find Henry if they released her. Emma eventually found Henry and returned him home. Then Emma asked Regina if she loved Henry. Regina said she did but Emma did not believe her, then she decided to stay in Storybrooke to see if everything was ok at home for Henry.
Emma at first knew Regina didn't kill Archie because of her lie detector. She insists to her parents that Regina was innocent, and this is why she goes to Gold: she believes he committed the murder. It is then that Gold proves not only his innocence but that Regina did kill Archie (it was false evidence ik but nevertheless VERY convincing evidence).
I got so sick of Regina constantly telling Emma that Henry was hers. Yes he's her son legally but to me biology totally trumps legality. She's sees Henry as a possession instead of a son.
Dawn Yzaguirre I have a cousin who's actually my brother. His mother was a drug addict and the baby boy wad taken to my grandma, but my grandma couldn't take on raising him because she was already raising two of my other cousins. Biological mothers and fathers are part of the child's DNA. It's science. After the child is born, DNA no longer plays a part. The bio moms or dads can leave their kids on a street corner for the rats, take them to the fire station, or someone could adopt them. Either way, once that child is born, the bio mom and dad have a choice, and that choice will affect their standing as that child's caretaker. They can either keep them or give them up. If they choose to give them up-a closed adoption, like Emma asked for-they no longer have any rights to the child. The child goes into the care of the person who adopts them. No matter the reason that the baby was given up, genetics are purely science. That being said, I love both Regina and Emma. They each have their own special bond with Henry and it'd take a lot for someone to see that Henry didn't love his moms, or that his moms didn't love him. Though his moms were bickering with each other for much of the first few seasons, their individual love for Henry was still there. No one can tell me that they both wouldn't take a bullet or face death for their son because both of them would.
Dawn Yzaguirre I am not trying to be bitter or hateful but that is an ignorant thing to say( not call you dumb or anything but it is) being a parent has nothing todo with biology being a parent means you when you have or adopt the kid you love them and let them own your heart. Many people can just have a child but it really takes someone to be a PARENT. I also think that if anything Emma was the one that treated Henry like a possession, she thinks that just because she gave birth to Henry that gives her the right to do whatever she want and that it means that the contract she signed does not apply to her when it TOTALLY DOES.
@@faithkidwell9757 It was Regina who was trying to cast spells on Henry and trying to constantly lock him up; she also called him crazy, destroyed his tree house, is the reason he was isolated in the first place and wouldn't let him have any friends. There were a lot of scenes comparing Cora's & Regina's relationship to Regina's and Henry's relationship in which Regina had taken on the role of Cora when while Henry took on Regina's role. Which is why Henry sought out Emma and begged her to stay. At that point, Emma had to fight for Henry to give him validation and prove he wasn't crazy. Much like how Regina's father had to stand up to Cora for Regina. However, as the show went on, Regina did what her mother could not, Regina started to choose Henry over vengeance and she was able to work with Emma instead of against because they chose to put Henry first. They are *both* his moms and sometimes in real life there are adoptive & birth families who come together and share this kind of relationship. Where bio and adoptive parents work together and the child has two or more moms and two or more dads. It wasn't until Emma took on the role of the DS that hers and Regina's roles from the early seasons were reversed and Regina took on the role of "Henry" while Emma took on the role of "Cora." It just goes to show that *all* parents birth/bio &/or adoptive make mistakes.
No Regina he's Emma's. She's the one who birthed him and she's the one who actually cares. You're just using him because you want someone at your side.
Darkuss Sovereign Yes, Regina may not be the best person, but when it comes to Henry, she wouldn't harm a hair on his head. And that point was made very clear throughout the seasons.
Wrong. Regina loves him. She wouldn't have destroyed the curse if she didn't. And she always fights for him. If she didn't love him, she'd treat him so coldly. And Emma waived her rights when Regina adopted them, so by law, he belongs to Regina.
Also this is why I hate Emma because I know she gave him up so he could have a better life and that I understand but maybe she doesn’t understand who provided that better life for him REGINA
Henry had a horrible life in Storybrooke. He was the only one who aged, the only one with a clear mind and free will, and he was utterly alone (Regina doesn't count because she was the problem).
Regina loves him more than anything. She had to rip her own heart to avoid the pain and almost put herself to sleep. And her true loves kiss broke the curse
I love how Henry saw faith in Regina at this point in the show. He didn't want her gone.
1:37 exactly! The magic isn’t the problem, the people are! Their choices are the problem
Their choices are what makes them who they are
Regina is so beautiful. And Henry is her son since she raised him... Emma... please.
Regina was abusive toward him. She tried to convince him he was insane. Emma on the other hand gave him up because she was homeless, and had he grown up with her he would've had a horrible childhood. For that reason I think Emma is the superior mother for Henry.
No she was not. Regina loves Henry. She was hard on him because her mother Cora was hard on her. Regina cares for him and I think she would sacrifice herself to save henry. Regina wants the best for Henry.

One of the best scenes in OUAT. Well acted. The peak of the emotional conflict within this bizarre family

He screamed "Henry, get out of away" when he was trapped in between David and Regina's battle. And Emma had to physically restrict him from going to save him. He was a really good dad. Regardless of what he did to Emma in the past.
No doubt he loved Henry. We didn't get a good enough look at them together long enough to evaluate how good a father he'd have been on a day-to-day basis. I liked Neal, though, and I wish they'd kept him around.

Poor henry... he does ALOT to keep this fued as clean as possible. He's the peacemaker. Im just glad that by the second half of season three the whole my son, no my son, thing is over. He's bolth their sons. Emma gave him up, regret it and now relises she can be a mom. Regina is not evil any more. Snow wite sliped ,told cora about her true love and regina just didn't know how to handle the agony that danial was dead due to that slip up. She didnt know how to forgive snow. I'm glad she's not evil anymore because henrys the one who had to calm anyone down and he's not even working for arche. In other words, archie, do your jod save henry the time and stress.

Regina: "Emma, do you honestly think i'm bad person? I'm shocked…"
Henry: Dont Kill Mary Margaret
Wait, Henry tries to destroy magic?
Yeahhh Bae is his father alright 😂😂😂
Regina was Henry’s mother. End of discussion. Her past as the EQ had nothing to do with the fact she raised that boy as her own child from a baby and he turned out perfectly fine. She did not mistreat him at all from what we saw. And then Emma turns up and starts calling herself his mother. No, doll.
Regina is his mom, Emma was his mother
@@heatherturner2366 and honestly regina has been a much better mother than her mother cora.
Regina raised him, she is just as much maybe even more of his mother then Emma. She knows his first word, she knows when he lost his first tooth, she knows when he started walking, Emma only showed up a few months ago and got on her high horse so quickly it’s ridiculous. At best she is an acquaintance to Henry with how much she knows about him
Exactly you are right, and honestly regina has been a much better mother than her mother cora.
For the first two seasons Regina was a horrible mother to Henry. She lied to him and tried to manipulate him, and when that didn’t work, she wanted to cast a curse on Henry to make him love her. Emma gave him up, yes, but she was also willing to be in his life and grew to care about him. The reason she gave him up was because she was homeless.
Emma gave birth to him but it was Regina who loved and cared for him for most of his life. Regina is good and people stop hating on her. Give Regina chance, she made mistakes and did a lot of terrible things but she is human. Everyone deserves a second chance
Nathalie Navarro - No, Regina is not 'good'. Regina is a murdering, controlling, murderous, raping, tyrannical monster, or was until lately. That's the TV show canon, it was right there on the screen in the flashbacks and in season one. Regina got a second chance. And a third chance, And a fourth chance. And a fifth chance. She _finally_ did take one and use it, but not before doing incredible harm and hurting and killing many, many people. A little gratitude and humility on Regina's part would be appropriate.
@@shermanlee4037 Indeed,Regina is terrible
He went from trying to get rid of magic to trying to save it

10 years old Henry: Not like this😭
10 years old Greg: Not like this😭
People clam down in the future henry considers them his moms and they both are in his heart and they both love him and both did what they thought was best for him
I love her "okay", lol
- We can have everything…
Not this way.
And he was right. Regina changed and got her happy ending as the Good Queen, with two Henrys, and no Emma Swan❤️
I don’t know what to believe.
Either Which one is a better mother for Henry.
Regina abused Henry in season 1 and 2 mostly season 1, Regina tried to Convince Henry he was insane, tried to kill Emma, and did almost everything she could to make the town convince Henry he didn’t need that fairytale book because Regina wanted Henry to believe he was Insane or stop him from knowing it, and of course this scene, and in some other seasons Regina grew to become a better mother and person, while Emma on the other hand was an amazing mother throughout the seasons but after a few seasons it just seemed like she cared for Hook more than Henry
I feel kinda bad for Henry 😂
Just like SHUT UP EMMA 🙄🙄
and this is why they kept killing off regina's moments of happiness. her fiance, her father, her mother, almost her 1/2sister, but then her actual soulmate. then he came back as a wish and got with her not-so evil half. still regina's happy ending is the world she lives in, and in the end, she always puts our henry first. emma was sent away as a baby, raised an orphan, then met lily &neal both were destroy by choices the latters made to hurt her. one resulted in henry's birth and the other been adopted by the snowqueen. in the end, august was the one who started it all he was meant to watch over emma. and look where it got her? her son's father is dead, her first actual fling was murdered by her son's adoptive mother, her first baby daddy was technically killed by her son's adoptive aunt, her second baby daddy almost tried to kill her and her family after she made him a dark1 to save his life, in the end, her son's fathers 1/2brother was destined to kill her, bc of her son's paternal gr8grandmother was destined to destroy her own sons life. nonetheless. henry belongs to both regardless. he now calls them both "moms" which is adorable. but before neal died, this was henry's life. and he still barely knew his father even then, not even in neverland bc they had already planned to kill him off so his birth mother could sail with his father's mother former lover. when henry deserved to know neal, even rumple did. but neal died, and henry's happy ending became his family and not his 3parents. belle replaced rumple's happy ending as hook became emma's when neal's happy ending was henry. yet he was forced to resurrect rumple so he could defeat his murderer, when it was regina all along. sometimes i think this show can be so absurd that it drives me crazy, nvm whats going on in s7 nowadays OMFG
I hate that Emma said “get away from MY son” like -
His argument is as stupid as blaming a tool for the actions of a person. People make choices, be those choices wise or in poor judgement. This makes me think someone is trying to make susceptible people dumb.
See, now this comment just makes me angry in that it completely disregards any healthy relationships kids might have with their adoptive parents. No, that doesn't mean that I'd call Henry and Regina's relationship healthy but it does mean that you can't just disregard Henry's feelings like that. From all we know, Regina has been there for Henry during the first 10 years of his life when no one else has.
Becca J - But Regina herself was the reason she was the only one in his life. Her Curse and her treatment of everyone else in town kept Henry isolated.
Da feels
Dynamite stick
I can't be only one who hates Henry's character. The way he treats his mother- his REAL mother- Regina is apalling. And to everyone who says that Regina isn't fit to be a mother because she's the evil queen: you all have no idea what a mother is. A mother is the person who clothes you. Feeds you, takes care of you when you're sick, etc. Emma gave up Henry. Regina is the one who raised him, so Regina is his mother. If you adopted a child and then their birth mom came back ten years later wanting to take them back, you wouldn't allow it. The fact that Henry keeps giving Regina the middle finger-figuratively- is infuriating. This kid is a brat😡
Eleana Russell - Regina treated Henry _horrifically_ . She was a terrible mother. Somehow that gets lost when people make up this wonderful, caring person who just loved Henry and wanted what was best for him. Well, that's something Regina's fans _made up_ . In the canon, Henry was growing up in a town where he was utterly, totally alone. He could make no friends his own age, because he was growing older and they were frozen in time. He couldn't bond with the other adults because his mind was clear and their minds were clouded by the Curse. All he had was Regina...who was visibly treating everyone in town like dirt, behaving like a horrible human being, and who had to start lying to Henry as soon as he was old enough to perceive the Curse and its effects. "Mom, how come all my friends in first grade are still 6 and in first grade and now I'm 8?" She started trying to convince him that he wasn't seeing what he was seeing, and Henry was strong enough to resist that, but it was driving them apart. The book didn't separate them, it just allowed Henry to _finally_ have some hope, and to figure out what was wrong. He went and found Emma because Emma was Henry's _only hope_ of freedom from the Curse. Think about that. The wonder is not that Henry distrusts Regina, the amazing thing is that Henry still loves her after everything bad she's done.
@@shermanlee4037 Umm no. The only thing Regina did was hide the curse from Henry and tell him he was crazy for thinking it. Other than that she cared for him from birth onward. She changed his diapers, fed him stayed up with him when he was crying as a baby. She taught him how to read and write and talk and walk. She provided a roof over his head and a damn good roof at that, anything he could have possibly wanted she provided. Sure he outgrew all his friends and so what? What the fuck is a friend at that age? After the curse was broken she still was more of a mother to him them Emma. While Emma ran around playing hero Regina continued to put Henry first and her plans second. From season 1- season 6 Henry constantly gives her the middle finger because he's a spoiled entitled brat just like Snow White. He needs to constantly feel like he's the center of attention which is why he always tries to destroy magic. The only time he chilled out is when he was made the author because he finally felt like he was important even though he really wasn't. Henry is by far one of the worst characters in the show. Top three worst characters: Blue Fairy, Snow White, Henry.
@@nicholasjohnson8191 Ummm, yes. First of all, concealing the curse and lying to him about him being insane, _all by itself_ is grounds for Regina to lose him and for Henry to resent her. Regina took Henry to a Cursed town where time was frozen, and where he would utterly, totally _alone_ . He's the only one who ages, so he can't make friends with the other kids. The adults are mind-locked and can't perceive reality clearly the way Henry can, so he can't make friends with the adults, either. All he has is Regina, and she's lying to him and undermining his sanity. So that's pretty abusive all by itself.
@@nicholasjohnson8191 Regina _never_ put Henry first, until long after the Curse was broken. Putting Henry first means stopping the Curse, ending her war on the Charmings, accepting her own fault in her endless chain of murders, rapes, and atrocities. Putting Henry first means working to make up the psychological _damage_ she did to him by bringing him to the Curse in the first place. Damned right friends and connections matter. Likewise, the very fact that Regina ran around acting as if she was some kind of _victim_ proves that she wasn't ready to be a mother to Henry. Henry had every good reason to fear her, and resent her. She was a _monster_ . Granted, that changed, later on, when she was finally ready to start accepting responsibility for her own crimes and working to undo them. But not until. The claiming that Snow, or the Blue Fairy, or Emma, are somehow worse than a murderous, raping, torturing, brain-washing tyrant doesn't pass the laugh test. Snow, the Blue Fair, and Henry are flawed and imperfect _heroes_ . Regina, until well into Season Three, was a treacherous, abusive monster. I could list her crimes, but it's been done many times, and no, it wasn't Snow's fault for telling Cora about Daniel. We don't have to like that she was a monster, but there's no escape from what we saw on the screen.
Being a mother doesn't erase/condone evil actions
chill its just a TV show
Neal is amazing
Henry get out of the way
Those people are rude.Regina ADOPTED him so hes HERS,GOT IT?
+SwanQueenxEmisonEndgame well that's not true. Henry is Reginas son, she adopted him and legally Emma has NO rights to henry
There is no curse, there never was...
Ugh. I really don’t like Emma
U cant destroy magic so easily and destroying magic won't make things better . It will just make the world a cold hard and stagnant place. Henry doesnt get this.
Is it just me or does it sound like neal says aaron
I am not showing hate to any characters specifically but No more blaming magic, magic is not good or bad it’s a tool and it’s only bad if the person who yields it is
I don't know...we didn't see too many magic-users in the series who were entirely on the up and up. It could just be a case of 'power corrupts'.
I find the comment section more funnier than the video it's self, due to everyone's taking sides although it's generally only a show and we all know this yet everyone still continues to make stupid war's over a show, if it was reality, then I could understand but come on people can't we all calm down it's not real for crying out loud lol, I'm on Emma's AND Regina's side since it's only a show there's no point in getting worked up all about it.
I couldn't agree more. Henry has no reason to even care about Regina. She's done nothing but try to make everyone think he was crazy and then tried to kill his real family. Her love for Henry may be real to some degree but honestly it's too possessive and that's not at all healthy. I'm glad he has Emma.
Dawn Yzaguirre No reason to care about her? Are you kidding me? She raised him. Emma didn't. Of course he cares about her
I'm disappointed i cant belive that this kid just runs in and stops afight that might have been good like can henry not just stand there?
superstitious minds
Do you know what I don't get here .... neal shoats at Henry to get out the way when Regina gets a fire ball like really .. do you really think she is going to throw a fire ball at her own son ... seriously......... she just wanted him to love her like she loves him ... # evil regals
Wow you must be dumb. Neal was trying to protect Henry from Emma and Regina's feud. Henry could have gotten hurt
Lucy Wright- How would Neal know Regina wouldn't harm him? They already know she's planning to murder Snow and mindwipe Henry! That's harming him right there! And never forget, NEVER forget, Regina _murdered her own father_, Henry's namesake, for purely selfish reasons. Of course people are afraid she'll hurt Henry!
I think it was more just seeing your kid in the line of fire, tbh. No matter if Regina wouldn’t have thrown the fire ball at him, you see your kid standing in front of a woman with a fireball in her hand and things can get kinda scary. Neal was kinda new here, too, so, you can’t really blame him for it.
Henry: Don't kill people!
Regina fans: He's such a brat!
The narrative the show tries to push about blood relationships and people "natures" makes it really hard to enjoy the story at times.
Sorry, but where the f**ck did the kid get those explosives??
UR! Why does everyone keep standing up for Regina. After all the evil she's caused. Doesn't matter her lame backstory that doesn't excuse the evil she's willingly caused. Magic or not.
reginas right, emma is henry’s bio mom but she raised him.
What the actual? People in the comments are supporting REGINA?! Are you guys INSANE?!
Regina was intending to FORCE Henry to love her against his OWN WILL. Doesn't that just scream psychopath to you?
Plus she was trying to kill his grandmother whom he loves very much. Why was she trying to kill his grandmother? For killing someone to protect her husband and child.
Plus you're forgetting Regina did NOT raise Henry lovingly. She was extremely abusive, and tried to convince him he was crazy.
Emma gave up Henry because she was a homeless criminal. Do you honestly expect her to raise a child like that? Like her giving up henry, was probably the right thing to do for him, and the show seems to back that up. can you imagine growing up homeless? it gave henry a better life, even if it was with abusive regina.
Emma for that reason is definetly the superior mother.
And Baelfire. He did not know Henry was his son, so that's why he was absent from his life. Ever since he knew Henry was his son he was a very good father. With a choice between the two, Swanfire deserve custody over henry way more than Regina.
Emma even said to Regina she did not want to take Henry away from Regina, she was just in town to make sure he was alright. And when Regina offered Emma to take Henry away (she was faking it obviously but this happened when Regina made the set up where Emma would call Henry crazy in front of him) Emma declined the offer and said she was just there to make sure Henry was ok. So both in reality and from Regina's perspective Emma was not trying to be Henry's new mother as a replacement for Regina.
Actually Emma did not plan on staying in Storybrooke. In the first episode remember she was actually about to leave until she crashed her car and was put into the prison there for drinking and driving. Then she got out by offering to help find Henry if they released her. Emma eventually found Henry and returned him home. Then Emma asked Regina if she loved Henry. Regina said she did but Emma did not believe her, then she decided to stay in Storybrooke to see if everything was ok at home for Henry.
Emma at first knew Regina didn't kill Archie because of her lie detector. She insists to her parents that Regina was innocent, and this is why she goes to Gold: she believes he committed the murder. It is then that Gold proves not only his innocence but that Regina did kill Archie (it was false evidence ik but nevertheless VERY convincing evidence).
I'm on BOTH sides since it is too be fair only a show.
KarisMax Nightcore if you're not gonna let yourself fall into the drama of the show what's the point of watching it though?
I got so sick of Regina constantly telling Emma that Henry was hers. Yes he's her son legally but to me biology totally trumps legality. She's sees Henry as a possession instead of a son.
Dawn Yzaguirre I have a cousin who's actually my brother. His mother was a drug addict and the baby boy wad taken to my grandma, but my grandma couldn't take on raising him because she was already raising two of my other cousins. Biological mothers and fathers are part of the child's DNA. It's science. After the child is born, DNA no longer plays a part. The bio moms or dads can leave their kids on a street corner for the rats, take them to the fire station, or someone could adopt them. Either way, once that child is born, the bio mom and dad have a choice, and that choice will affect their standing as that child's caretaker. They can either keep them or give them up. If they choose to give them up-a closed adoption, like Emma asked for-they no longer have any rights to the child. The child goes into the care of the person who adopts them. No matter the reason that the baby was given up, genetics are purely science.
That being said, I love both Regina and Emma. They each have their own special bond with Henry and it'd take a lot for someone to see that Henry didn't love his moms, or that his moms didn't love him. Though his moms were bickering with each other for much of the first few seasons, their individual love for Henry was still there. No one can tell me that they both wouldn't take a bullet or face death for their son because both of them would.
Dawn Yzaguirre I am not trying to be bitter or hateful but that is an ignorant thing to say( not call you dumb or anything but it is) being a parent has nothing todo with biology being a parent means you when you have or adopt the kid you love them and let them own your heart. Many people can just have a child but it really takes someone to be a PARENT. I also think that if anything Emma was the one that treated Henry like a possession, she thinks that just because she gave birth to Henry that gives her the right to do whatever she want and that it means that the contract she signed does not apply to her when it TOTALLY DOES.
@@faithkidwell9757 It was Regina who was trying to cast spells on Henry and trying to constantly lock him up; she also called him crazy, destroyed his tree house, is the reason he was isolated in the first place and wouldn't let him have any friends.
There were a lot of scenes comparing Cora's & Regina's relationship to Regina's and Henry's relationship in which Regina had taken on the role of Cora when while Henry took on Regina's role.
Which is why Henry sought out Emma and begged her to stay. At that point, Emma had to fight for Henry to give him validation and prove he wasn't crazy. Much like how Regina's father had to stand up to Cora for Regina.
However, as the show went on, Regina did what her mother could not, Regina started to choose Henry over vengeance and she was able to work with Emma instead of against because they chose to put Henry first.
They are *both* his moms and sometimes in real life there are adoptive & birth families who come together and share this kind of relationship. Where bio and adoptive parents work together and the child has two or more moms and two or more dads.
It wasn't until Emma took on the role of the DS that hers and Regina's roles from the early seasons were reversed and Regina took on the role of "Henry" while Emma took on the role of "Cora."
It just goes to show that *all* parents birth/bio &/or adoptive make mistakes.
No Regina he's Emma's. She's the one who birthed him and she's the one who actually cares. You're just using him because you want someone at your side.
poisonmoon123 Regina is still evil.
poisonmoon123 Here she's trying to persuade Henry to her evil ways.
poisonmoon123 I dought it.
Darkuss Sovereign Yes, Regina may not be the best person, but when it comes to Henry, she wouldn't harm a hair on his head. And that point was made very clear throughout the seasons.
Wrong. Regina loves him. She wouldn't have destroyed the curse if she didn't. And she always fights for him. If she didn't love him, she'd treat him so coldly. And Emma waived her rights when Regina adopted them, so by law, he belongs to Regina.
Also this is why I hate Emma because I know she gave him up so he could have a better life and that I understand but maybe she doesn’t understand who provided that better life for him REGINA
Henry had a horrible life in Storybrooke. He was the only one who aged, the only one with a clear mind and free will, and he was utterly alone (Regina doesn't count because she was the problem).
