I do look forward to seeing if they will have Belle reassess Hook’s “rottenness” at some point.
I’d like to see that too.

I’ve seen someone compare Hook’s actions in the finale to Han Solo–but to me, it was more a Lando Calrissian move. Hook helped set the fail-safe thing in motion, by helping GOAT, then turning on them, and stealing away with the last bean, after tricking the “heroes”. So Hook’s return and offer of aid is a bit tainted by that to me. Without getting into details from Empire Strikes Back, the point is, a short betrayal like that is something the audience can forgive so long as no lasting harm is done to the heroes. The results, the fact that there is no lasting harm, is what keeps us from hating the character, regardless if the character had some shifty intentions at an earlier point in the story.
I can see that comparison working, but Hook coming back and helping to save the day, that’s still Han. 😀
