To me this is obvious. It’s the same way they get around everything. When they kill Hades, everything he has done will no longer be. All the souls will likely be freed as well. It may be that simple. Killing him will be challenging, but once it’s done, I feel like so many things will become easy.
It does sound simple except that they’ve driven home the point that Hades is a God…those thingys are notoriously hard to kill. Of Emma does it, I’m all for it (cosmic storytelling and all) but if it’s not then I’ve got some problems.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Yeah to me it has to be Emma. Unfortunately Regina is getting swept under the rug this half season and really this whole season. She will be important if a certain someone does kick the bucket, but it should be Emma who defeats Hades.
Someone else brought this up in a different thread, but didn’t Hades enchant a chisel, not Hook’s hook, in order to carve the names onto the tomb stones? *sigh*

Hook being able to change names raises issues:
1. If he can change names then why doesn’t he swap Regina’s, Emma’s and Charming’s names for Rumple, Zelena (two people he doesn’t like) and, since nobody in the main “hero” group cares about her, Belle.
2. If Hook does indeed do that, then it makes Hook like a complete and selfish prat.
Basically the writers have written Hook into a corner where either action makes him look bad.

Keeper of FelixGuys, they are supposed to be the heroes! They can’t swap out names for people they like less. That’s not very heroic. It reminds me of the end of season 2 when Regina was going to sacrifice herself and Henry pointed out that the heroes needed to find a way to save her even if she was once the evil queen. Zelena like it or not is family to Regina so I don’t think they will leave her trapped there. Banishing her to Oz is one thing, keeping her permanently in the UW is another.

But I don’t really think they can kill Hades…he’s pretty convinced of that. In most legends, only a God can kill another God. I get Emma is the Savior and all that, but she’s not technically a God….it probably would have been more fitting for Demi-God Hercules to have been the one to do his uncle in, but he’s off in Mount Olympus.
Maybe Hercules will get his father Zeus to come down and handle Hades?

Supposed to be heroes is key. They are SUPPOSED to be. And one of the biggest themes this season so far is that morality is relative (shoot, that’s one of the biggest themes of the SERIES) and we are told time and time again that the FAMILY matters more than anything else.
No one cares about the peasants or the minor baddies, just the little CharMillStiltskin clan. Why should I expect them to take the moral high ground now when they usually don’t if it means keeping their insular little gang together?

Preach!
Unfortunately if you’re not a member of that dysfunctional family, you’re on the ever long waiting list for “saving”.

I think you mean the CharMills clan brcause they sure as hell don’t give a damn about Rumple or his side of the family.

I thought the same, until I actually re-watched the scene. Hook actually never said that Hades enchanted his hook to carve the names. He said that “he enchanted my hand to carve these markings in the first place”. Back in the episode “Labor of Love”, Hades shows the hook to Emma, and drops it on the ground before leaving. This took place before Hades asked him to chisel names, too. Hook continues to be hookless until Emma saves him in the “Devil’s Due”, so I’m guessing Emma kept the hook and returned it to him. So I think the enchantment was done to Hook’s hand, and that was what gave him the power to carve names, rather than the chisel itself.
