Malcolm did more than just go after Rumple and hurt him though. He kept telling Rumple to leave the island and go home to Belle. BUT when Rumple decided to fight, Pan didn’t go after him…he went after the people Rumple loved, Nealfire and Belle. And he would do it gleefully just for the sake of hurting his son. to cripple Rumple, he will kill those he loves.
Can they be equally horrible?
they’re both horrible, but Pan is a lot worse, I think. the amount of pain he caused Rumpel his whole life was horrible, and the last thing he was about to do, to kill his own son’s loved ones just for kicks! just to see him suffer! ouch!!!! I can’t even imagine Rumpel if he really did kill them! he’d be broken! (no, there has to be a better word. broken doesn’t even begin to describe…)
