And the excuse about being a villain might be used on season 2/flashback, and the excuse about the darkness might be used in 5A, but you can’t excuse the fact he lied in 317 about helping Ariel (which again was forgotten and weren’t addressed), you can’t excuse the fact that instead of doing the right thing and tell Belle about the fake dagger, he decided to blackmail Rumple on her expense and the apprentice he put in the hat (yet again he wasn’t confronted, yet again he admitted but it ment nothing cause no one heard it and everyone blamed Rumple).
Well lets not forget the Will thing, Hook beat him and threated him, and that was when he was already with Emma, and no, people cant talk about the HAND curse which was not. In fact Will is a thing that shows for me at least why Cs is so toxic and how Hook character influence Emma, bc the S1 Emma and im not talking about the walls part, im talking about the justice person, that defended the innocents against the bad guys, would never send Will to jail just bc he ended her date, or would just give him almost nothing to eat while he was there, this only happened after the Cs thing. In fact Will was the only character to say that Hook didnt cared about Henry, he was just using him to get Emma, so obvious when he got hate from Cs fans ha had to be cut.
