Reply To: Why is Hook such a divisive character within the fandom?

Tons of people stopped watching the show including reviewers of it, with him being one of the reasons why.

And im sure CS fans are invested in his relationship with Emma. Im asking what more is there to be invested in and shouldnt he have more? Or do you believe that should be all there is for Hook. Im asking for your opinion. A lot of us find Hook boring and the ship to be lackluster and poorly written. I think we could deal with that if he had more to do in the story. Its rarely happened but qhen it  i have enjoyed . Snowing is often times boring but again, they play a much more prominent role with much more happening outside eachother.

Im not denying hes popular for whatever reasons people may have just as u shouldnt deny he is just as hated. I just disagree that he is on par with Regina in any way. Even here on this forum we’ve had a large anount of people leave because Hook was so polarizing here.

i kind of disagree that him being polarizing makes him popular. It makes it hard to have a discussion about hook that isnt singing his praises because no one wants to hear negative things about him. We can do that about other villains including Regina but when it comes to Hook things become difficult and i will repeat i think its just because a lot of the hook  are primarily CS fans and are just content with the ship and cant see it from the perspective of those who liked hook but dont care for the ship.
