Hook is a great character, and as a lot of other people have mentioned, there is so much potential for his character to expand and many paths that can be taken with him.
I like how one minute you see him be a badass villain alongside Cora, but the next minute he’s being cheeky, and/or helps his opposing side. He’s a character that isn’t set in stone, and will do whatever it takes to get what he needs even if that means switching sides, and I find the show more enjoyable with his humor 😆
Trying really hard to not be bias, but he isn’t a complete rip off of Jack Sparrow because Jack just happens to be one of the most iconic pirate characters and we are just so used to seeing his personality and such being his, when it really is the typical characteristics of pirates in general. We’re lucky to have Colin play Hook, thus giving him that cute irish accent 😉
