So I saw this today and it kind of starting giving me doubts as to whether or not the writers are trying to subtly tell us something.

 

 

The flower on the right is a buttercup.  I don’t think there has been any confirmation if the flower is suppose to be a buttercup or not but it looks very similar.  And I think JMO has said that if she was to pick a princess, she would pick Buttercup. But I don’t know what interview she said that in, so maybe I’m just remember wrong about that.  And then of course there was that line in Good Form where Hook says to Emma, “As you wish.”  There are probably other parallels you could make with Princess Bride.  But my question is, does that matter?  Should it matter?  Westley and Buttercup are an iconic example of true love.  Are the writers giving us parallels because that’s what they want us to think about Hook and Emma or is it all a red herring?  Thoughts?

"We were happy."
"Because... it was born out of true love."
