Crazy theory about Hook’s father

Pan as Hook’s father could definitely be a rather weird spin on things–like if Pan had the clock turned back to make him a boy (something Rumpel had wanted to do to Bae) but he still retained his adult mind. Pan seems rather well organized for a real child (that is, if he is indeed calling the shots for the HO, as opposed to a false conclusion we all reached). It still could be that the HO considered Pan more dangerous, and knowing he was after Henry, needed to grab Henry and take him to NL for some reason yet to be revealed. They love their fake outs. Or Pan is a disembodied former “original power” that is nothing but a shadow (but not THE shadow we saw) and searching for a host body. I’m wondering what the casting news will reveal. Will it be a young actor or old actor–they aren’t pulling a gender twist so that’s really all we have now.

It would be odd but I have to wonder if it would be too weird. We already have creepy Lost Boys, a creepy Shadow, and Peter Pan as a potentially menacing figure. Add the element of Pan fathering Hook and I think it’s going a bit too crazy with changing the tale. I’d much rather have Hook with his own separate family and a reasonable explanation for why he’s in NL.

There has to be a Davy Jones connection with Hook somewhere. You don’t name a sailor Jones and give him an enchanted ship if there’s not some connection to Davy freaking Jones.

The only thing I might take issue with is who his father really is. This is sort of hand canon, but I’ve always believed that Hook is going to turn out to be a lost Prince. I tend toward the notion that Davy Jones raised him, but only after he was spirited away by forces that sought to take his throne. So even Hook may not know his own backstory.

This is part of what’s keeping me from totally buying that his father was just some fugitive who ran away so he wouldn’t be caught, because I’m still clinging to the idea of him being of royal blood. So yes, I do think that what he told Bae was inspired in some way by his actual story, but I’m not convinced that it was his actual story.

Ok, so I’ll go ahead & admit I burst out laughing with an image of The Shadow saying “Hook; I am your Father” 😯 😆 😆 I’m such a nerd.

Pretty sure Hook was telling the truth when he was speaking to Bae- he’d already started to form ‘he & Bae as a family’ plan once he knew who Bae was & didn’t willingly give up on it either- according to A&E, despite the lost boys being there about to board the ship, he’d have simply fought them off, if Bae had said yes to staying, it was what Hook truly wanted.

LOL the first thing when we found out his name was Jones was that maybe Davy Jones is his father. Then I thought of POTC where that whole speech reminded me of Will Turner(whom also thought his father a fugitive abandoned him in the night) and Bootstrap Bill Turner his father.

Hook’s got massive daddy issues though clearly.

There’s some interesting things they can do, such as the Jones connection to Davy Jones, or the “displaced” illegitimate child of royalty angle (hinted in Barrie’s comments on the original story of PP)….or even, maybe that Z he drew between P and S could be a tie to the legend of Zorro. (That was a Disney show at one point).
