Reply To: Why is Hook such a divisive character within the fandom?

[TheWatcher]

think it’s fair to say you enjoyed Hook more as a villain and find his nice redeeming self to be, well less interesting and more on the boring side, right?  And with Regina, you found both her evil side and her nice side to be interesting?

Yes. But not so much just because he was villain but because he was interesting to watch doing all his villainous things. Hes not fun anymore. He just seems very forced, like a lot of things on this show, even Regina has her forces moments. I think the writers enjoy the villains moreso than the heroes.

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.

No, im just pointing out that if that is your reasoning foe why Hook is great it can be applied elsewhere.

Once again, u ignored all my points about the charactwr to focus on the ship comment. Im not bitter Neal is dead. Im just unimpressed with Hook.

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

So….Emmaa fanily and friends that he had been helping for so long suddenly meant nothing to him once she was gone but its okay because he refused to sleep with a random woman……. Hmm? Hook didnt have a ship at that point? Didnt he escape the curse and trade the ship and then attempt to kill blackbeard to get it back? And even then how does that negate that he left Emmas fanily behind to go back to his old ways.

Hook and Regina are both divisive characters,

Im not saying they arent. Im saying Hook has split the fandom moreso than Regina has. Even here on the forums the constant bickering over Hook has caused a lot of Hook fans to leave. Its not a contest.

His only intentions were reuniting her with her family and stopping the new threat.

Well…i mean how he did it isnt the point. Hook SHOULD be willing to trade his home for love. I know a lot of Hook fans blow that up but he did what a decent person should do in that situation.

But once again, im waitinf for my questions to be addressed and all you’ve done os prove them. Hook exists to be Emma’s man. And a lot of u are okay with that. Dont u think he could be more like he once was?
