Villains really know how to notice true love couples and how best to separate, or create obstacles for them. Snow and Charming had two villains to contend with, Regina and King George but when you go over the final count for Captain Swan:
You have…
- Cora
- Rumple
- Regina
- Pan
- Walsh
- Zelena
In terms of separating them, or wanting to cause harm, there’s Rumple and Zelena. Rumple would have surely killed Hook back in season two if he stayed in Storybrooke after Belle’s accident, and Zelena cursed Hook. Pan tried to cause love triangle drama that only lived for about two episodes. Regina hasn’t tried to cause physical harm to either Emma or Hook, and Cora almost would have killed Hook if he didn’t have something that she needed.
But still, if Hook and Emma weren’t meant to be true loves (and we know they are), why would Adam and Eddie give them so many villains that they have to deal with? I feel like it should be fairly obvious at this point where Adam and Eddie are going with this.
