I am not saying I want him to die, I am just saying like “Brace yourselves lads”. I am also just being prepared for the unexpected. After all whatever happens, the makers kind of informed that there will be Death for one or more characters. And right now, we have no appearances of Mulan, Dorothy and Arthur. So clearly their is highly unlikely. So far Robin’s presumed death seems to be appearing in ep 21 or 22. And this blind item said that this death would be for the finale (and it doesn’t sound like Robin).
Everyone is prepared and hopeful for the smallest of possibility that Hook might die. We are trying to speculate about the spoilers that are at hand and right now the spoilers point towards it being Robin. It is more likely that Snow or Rumpel will die then Hook at this point. I don’t know what you are talking about. Mulan, Dorothy, and Arthur are all going to be in this half and we saw Red crying by a grave, so it might be whomever she falls in love with if they do the whole Mulan and Red thing. Though she might just be crying by Peter’s grave. Also Hades might be vanquished as well. Maybe Zelena could die too since she is in a relationship with Hades. There are a lot of possibilities at this time for the secondary death. It isn’t going to be Hook as much as i wish it might be.
Also when the writers talked about deaths, they might just have meant the characters all moving on to the good place or the hot place. It isn’t as if these writers are very concise about what they say about the show considering half the things they say don’t happen.
