Hook and Regina are both divisive characters, and easily the most popular characters on the show. This coming from someone online with resources that hates Hook. Admits that he and Regina are the most popular characters.
If you honestly think that Regina is not hated in many factions of the fandom then may I suggest going to other forums or social media?
You’ll see that Regina is not as loved as you think she is. Much like Hook she has many people that love her and just as many people that hate her.
Oh there are huge similarities between them in this relationship. A (literal) lost boy….a lost girl….both sent away from their families…one a child of dark magic…the other a child of light magic…who found each other even though they were centuries apart, connected through fate and destiny, have a story and relevance that exists outside of one another and were original characters to the series…..Oh wait….
Thanks for proving to me that you’re clearly still bitter about what happened to Neal and SF even though it was literally 3 years ago.
season 3B again, where they all went back to the Enchanted Forest. See, Regina didn’t revert back to the Evil Queen and start terrorizing people. She stayed with her family and tried to help the issue they were facing. Hook up and abandoned everyone and went back to…being a pirate.. Oh, but hey at least he’s not sleeping around anymore because he loves Emma, so hes a good guy afterall, guys. He only did something heroic when he believed it would get him back to Emma. That’s the only thing driving his character
I wouldn’t say he went back to being a pirate considering the fact that he had no ship. He was just desperate for some sense of familiarity after losing Emma and thinking that would be it. He stayed true to his word though and even when his crew offered him company he denied it because he was in love.
And furthermore if you want to bring up 3B don’t twist things please. Hook came back through trading the thing he viewed as his home for over 300 years all for the sake of the chance of finding Emma and reuniting her with her family. That was the goal. It had nothing to do with winning Emma.
Are we forgetting how long it took Hook to tell Emma how he found her? How he got to her? In fact all throughout the season he avoided the question until in the season finale Emma asked him. If it really was all about finding and getting w/ Emma he would not have hesitated in telling her how he did it but that wasn’t his intentions. His only intentions were reuniting her with her family and stopping the new threat.
