I won’t lie: I’m slowly climbing aboard HMS Hookriel. The more I think about it, the more I like it. I’ve never shipped crack before. 🙂
I also don’t get the impression that Hook has loved anyone since Milah unless they were planning to have the traditional Little Mermaid story happen in present day. However, we don’t usually see the familiar part of the story- most often we see before it or after it. But if it turns out you are right, I could possible warm up to the idea if it’s done well. I was really against the idea of Bae having been to Neverland originally, but that turned out ok.
Phee and I have different headcanons on this but I don’t think Hook has met Ariel yet, but I do think she’s seen him from afar and is in love with him. She wants to be human to be with him but so far Hook’s only ever been interested in revenge.
Has anyone thought about Ursula? I remember back at the first Paley Fest, when The Little Mermaid was brought up, Lana said she wanted to play Ursula. So will Ursula be someone we already know or someone new? I think I’d prefer someone new.
