I don’t believe Neal was killed off solely for CS to happen for several reasons: 1. There’s no reason why CS couldn’t have happened without Neal dying if the writers chose to go there. 2. Neal dying has been bad for CS because people think CS is only happening because Neal is dead which doesn’t put CS in a positive light
Well a lot of fans didn’t like Neal. And a lot of fans wanted CaptainSwan to happen. I find it hard to believe Neal’s death was a pre-planned thing for “bold storytelling reasons”. Even then, I find it hard to see why someone like Emma would want someone like Hook. But we shouldn’t have to defend SwanFire in a Swanfire thread. When it comes to Neal, regardless of ships, his character meant alot to the series and to kill him without giving us answers to all the unanswered questions, without letting us see his life, without letting him be a father to his, or a son to his father, or just letting him have a happy ending is a load of bull fudge. So yeah. I really do believe Neal’s death was for CS. I can’t see Emma skipping happily into the sunset, arm in hook with hook, having no feels for Neal ever again. If the writers wanted me to see Neal as an unacceptable mate for Emma, they did a horrible job. Emma loved Neal and would always love him and given time, they’d have mended their relationship. I’m sorry, but Hook stood no chance against Neal.

Also, here is another awesome essay entitled Why Neal Had to Die.
Because if you want to stop talking about a crime, you have three options: address the crime, kill the villain, or kill the victim.
Neal had to die to cover up Hook’s misdeeds, thereby enabling his character to be whitewashed as a “romantic hero” without him ever having to come clean to Emma about what he (and Milha) did to Baelfire in the past. Also, with Neal out of the picture, the audience can conveniently forget that Hook is not only a potential step-dad to Henry, but also was to Neal (and was a horrible father figure and friend to him). Whether or not you liked Neal isn’t the question being asked, as this other essay writer replies. Killing Neal had to take place to make Hook look better. It also had the added bonus of taking away Emma’s choice (since Neal was after all confirmed as her true love).

I admit I’m still interested in what’s going on and how they’ll handle certain situations but I don’t know if it’s just because I cared about these characters and want to hope for a happy ending or in a morbid car wreck kind of way where you just can’t take your eyes off of it.
My big problem is that the things I’m curious about have nothing to do with the main cast of characters anymore.
Ok, also: we are NOT going to turn this into a CSF debate. This is the SF thread. The views here are not going to be pro-CS and to keep the peace, we’d appreciate it if pro-CS conversations were not put here. They aren’t going to be met well, just like pro-SF arguments would not be welcome in the CS thread.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"It wasn’t my intention to start arguments. Sorry if that’s the way it’s come across guys. I only came in here to comment on Charming saying about calling the baby Baelfire instead which would just be plain wrong.
I agree there were a lot of missed reactions from Neal, namely finding out that Rumple was the one that killed Milah and also hearing about Neal’s death. Also I’m surprised Hook dating Milah hasn’t been brought up yet in present day.
