I think we cant compare RB to CS, especially bc to me that CS scene didnt confirmed CS as True love at all
See I think it did though. We know Emma has unconditional love for her family. So we already knew she would sacrifice herself for them. But the test was whether she would do it for someone who wasn’t a part of her direct family. If it wasn’t true love, wouldn’t she be more inclined to not sacrifice herself for him? But because she treated Hook like family and would have killed herself for him, to me that proved there was unconditional love there. I’m not certain she would sacrifice herself for Belle or Robin. Maybe Regina. Like we are talking about giving up your life here. I’m sorry but Emma isn’t giving up her life for Belle. She’s barely even friends with her. To me, she would do it for her parents, her son Henry, and Regina, her closest friend. Hook is none of those things. So it had to be true love for her to sacrifice herself. At least that’s what I think they are going for here, and I can at least sort of understand it.
