Trolls are alive and well on internet today. Maybe everything is in some way or other.

Maybe that was the point of them in the first place - allegories for humans and our situations.

Ie. The current state of things:

An evil queen stole an election
A fair and good prince was nearly 80 and has to fight the dragon blocking everyone from passing over the bridge to get medicare for all
A troll who was a land baron threatens to start disallowing whole races to pass under and over the bridge.
Faerys fly in and out who try to stop things by informing people.
some of the population has had an evil spell of blindness cast over them
Maybe the show once upon a time actually is now and the world.
