o start of I'd like to say Lana Parrilla plays her so well. Lana is the reason I started to 사랑 her. I have seen so many portrayals of the evil 퀸 but no one has given her as much depth 또는 character as Lana. Even if a person doesn't like Gina they could at least admit Lana does a real good job; her eyes are very expressive, 당신 can tell exactly what Queenie feels jut 의해 looking at them. She also has this ability to change her voice tone according to whom she is portraying, Gina 또는 Queenie. Lana is one of those 여배우 who can make 당신 사랑 and hate a character at the same time.
Secondly I 사랑 Gina's complexity. I really like a character with a lot of depth. One would think she's evil, just evil but behind that there's a back story, a legit reason for her way of thinking. We've got woman who is just as miserable as those she cursed, unlike most portrayals of the 퀸 Regina was hurt 의해 her own curse (the loss of her father). She goes from Disney's typical heartless vileness to someone who is actually conflicted about her actions; whilst Disney's Queenie had no regrets about killing Snow, OUAT's Queenie cried when killing her father. It's a bit hard for a view to tell exactly how Gina feels when she has such conflicted feelings.
That's another reason I 사랑 Gina, she isn't as evil as she seems; deep down she just wants 사랑 and happiness. She's misunderstood and and almost a victim herself, she tries her best to find happiness she just approaches it the wrong way. After all she tries so hard to gain 사랑 and affection from Henry; she buys him nice toys and comic 책 and built him a new playground yet he doesn't care. She hasn't really even shown signs of physical abuse. People get so mad about her sending Henry to therapy but she just doesn't want Henry to hate her so much. Gina is the reason he lives in a mansion rather then some foster home. Gina also tries to keep him safe, most mothers would be alarmed if a strange woman who was in jail before (birth mom 또는 not) came into town threatening to take her son away. Part of the reason Gina keeps Henry away from Emma is because she doesn't want him to get hurt. I wouldn't say that that's particularly evil. Another reason I believe she isn't as evil is because unlike most villains she has the capability to love. The only reason her curse worked is because she sacrificed something she loved. She did 사랑 her father very much but gelt that this curse was the only way out of her misery. She was also able to 사랑 the genie; but it was one of those forbidden 사랑 cases, she was already married so loving the genie almost wasn't an option. She cared enough about him to try to save him from a possible execution. Even if that meant telling him she never loved him.
Gina had also loved Graham I doubt she would've punched Emma in the face for stealing him if she didn't care.
