  • Complete Monster: Magda the Mad, from Time Wars, was banished ages ago for attempting to usurp power from her allies, and now schemes to attain ultimate control of all reality. Turning her exile to Atlantis in her favor by conquering the underwater city, Magda kidnaps Prince Charming and keeps him as her prisoner for years in an attempt to force him to wed her and grant her his powerful ring. When Charming escapes her clutches, Magda goes on a destructive murder spree, personally vaporizing an innocent man while her armies decimate swathes of cities in her hunt for Charming. Always eager to rack up more bodies and constantly threatening her ally Rumpelstiltskin with being skinned alive if he fails her, Magda's desire to obtain Charming's ring results in a Bad Future in which she reduces Earth to a wasteland of death; keeps Charming and Rumpel as her personal slaves to torture; and murders several of the Avengers to secure her reign. When thwarted in the present, Magda spitefully tries to destroy an entire city before dragging off Rumpel to torture him for her own failure.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Moral Event Horizon: Killing off a police officer who took a bullet for you as he's begging for his life, Rumpelstiltskin? That's cold.
  • Older Than They Think: Fairy tale heroines banding together to save the day with the main heroine being Little Red Riding Hood? Oh, sure, first thing that comes to mind is RWBY. And before that, it was Shrek the Third, which had Princess Fiona gather a team of fairy tale princesses to help save the day.
    • Adding to that, Snow White has ice-themed powers, matching Weiss' snowflake-themed semblance.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
    • A bunch of fairy tale characters fighting the forces of evil together? That actually sounds pretty cool. Too bad it's a mockbuster film...
    • Having Alice of Alice in Wonderland fame as the Nick Fury/Amanda Waller-esque leader of a secret government agency actually sounds like an awesome idea. Imagine what it would've been like in the hands of a more competent production team!
