I think many of us saw Hook as darkness working towards lightness & Neal as lightness working its way towards darkness, which put people off of shipping him with Emma.
I never thought of it before, but that actually makes a lot of sense. I like that. That’s how I’m going to see him from here on in. If Hook can be classified as a villain for being so self serving to gain his revenge, then it’s quite apt for him to call Neal a villain for being so self serving in bringing the DO back for his own ends; sacrificing his own father to the WW’s control for his own purposes. That’s quite horrible.
