Matt is right. I invite you over to the Captain Hook Discussion thread, Michael if you should need to see how others feel about Hook or more approrately the “Why is Hook Such A Divisive Character” thread. You are entitled to your view. But you cannot deny that Hook is a divisive character, in a way that Regina is not. You not liking her arc doesn’t take away that she is actually serving a purpose to move the story/season forward. But we can talk about that elsewhere. Links to threads:

Regina is very much a divisive character like Hook. Many people love her and just as many people hate her. It doesn’t help that Regina is a character that gets white washed a lot of her crimes, like the rape and murder of Graham for instance. And then she holds Zelena to some impossible standard when she literally has done the same if not worst things then her sister. However she doesn’t want to admit to them or the writers don’t want her too, and it makes her come off not in the best way.
<p style=”box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;”>Also, adding something to a previous talk, but not talking more bc MP and RG don`t deserve to have their nerves up high bc of this, but CS doesnt have on a relationship for 4 years, yes 4 years or seasons since they meet, but the real relationship is only from end S3,which in show time line is around 6 months top, is the same time that baby Neal is born, so is not 4 years,in fact if we take the 1 year that Emma passed in NY, CS know each other less than one year, in fact i woukd say 9 months and date at 6months in total, and this actually is one of the problems of the show as well, if they just admited that each season is one year, maybe this fandom would not be so crazy, bc would mean that lots of things would have happen in all these years offscreen, meaning as well that lots of these characters would have bonded in btw and certain relationships would not look weird, OOC and Henry could actually have a age closer than Jared age is now.</p>

Bottom line, this is a story we’ve been seeing grow and develop for 4 years/seasons now. That’s what is relevant. The timeline on this show is one of it’s main weaknesses.</p>
