The Hook/Charming friendship is pretty much made up, in my opinion. The last thing that Charming said to Emma about Hook before this episode was that he just wanted her to be happy, not that he approved of Hook, but that he wanted Emma to be happy. They are not friends. They had moments in this episode, but that was the first time that they had any real moments between the two of them and then right after we found out Hook murdered Charming’s dad.
This just is not true. I’ve cited examples before but you continue to just either forget about them or ignore them. I will not engage in this again. All I will say is there have been plenty of moments where Hook and Charming have “broed out” before. And Hook has helped Charming before as well. Nightshade comes to mind.
It is true though, in my opinion. I am not saying that Charming and Hook haven’t had scenes together. They have and Charming doesn’t want Hook dead, he doesn’t hate him anymore, because Charming is a good person and he wants his daughter to be happy. Having scenes together and helping Charming because it makes him look good to Emma or because he is just a normal part of the group and it is regular human decency to help someone not die when you can, doesn’t mean they are friends. Rumpel helps the group too at times, but they aren’t friends. Just because there are times in the show where Emma finally gets to interact with Regina or Snow and that leaves Charming and Hook out there with no one to go adventure with except one another doesn’t make them friends.
I don’t agree with your examples. I don’t care if you engage or not. I am not going to change my mind about this. The like five random times they have interacted does not mean they are friends. In 604 Charming said “Even as much as i hated that pirate when i first met him, if you’re happy so am i.” That is where Charming was at like a week ago and just a few weeks before that Hook was the dark one and tried to kill everyone.
