A&E can’t really say Hook was NEVER meant to be written as a villain when what we have seen on the show proves otherwise. Either that or their definition of villain is kind of skewed.
He was a pretty rubbish villain though. Yeah he did some bad stuff, but nowhere to the scale of the proper villains. For everything he did to someone he got paid back for it. And Belle was going to be killed because of her connection with Rumple. She said she wouldn’t kill Rumple and that’s when Hook turned on her. Killing Belle would have hurt Rumple (then he didn’t know just how much, but would find out later). It seems that all the other things he did came from revenge, eye for an eye kind of thing. Emma left him up the beanstalk, he left her in the cell. Regina tried to feed him to Maleficent, he handed her over to GOAT, but didn’t participate in her torture. So I understand when A&E say he wasn’t written as a villain, because in this world villains are extremely evil, doing things because they can with no conscience about it.
If one is to engage with the primordial forces of darkness, one must expect a little social awkwardness
I agree @ellemo78 Everything Hook did in season two, doesn’t even come nearly as close to Regina and Rumple’s crimes on the villainy scale. How many times did Hook fail in season two trying to enact his revenge? Even him constantly falling on the floor became a running joke and there’s a ‘ship crack name for that, Flook (which I think I even came up with).
YAYYYYYY! I got it working- stupid thing wouldnt accept the correct password for some weird reason- put have got it working now!!!! 🙂
Do we have anylinks that dont require credit card numbers & is it “safe” to DL the required HD codecs? Chrome keeps saying it contain malicious malware?!
Oh, I love that essay, obisgirl! It says a lot of what I’ve been thinking when I wander into various other threads/comments (on this site and others). Because yeah, I’m rather sick of the misogynist claim (I’m sorry, but if Emma didn’t want him around we’ve seen that she’s fully capable of getting that message across instead of say, entrusting him with her son) and then the hypocrisy of following that particular argument with saying how awful it was that Hook “stole” Milah when she obviously wanted to go with him.
I’m sorry, but what’s misogynistic and anti-feminist about that whole thing is forcing a woman to remain in a loveless, unhappy marriage. Was it right for her to abandon her son? No, of course not–she regretted it immensely, but it wouldn’t exactly have been nice for Baelfire to grow up in a toxic environment where his mother deeply resented his father either and probably drank herself silly every night in an effort to forget that. And she even tried to make a last-ditch effort before leaving when she asked the night before if they could just move to some other village where her husband wouldn’t be known as the village coward. But Rumpel was unwilling to make even that small sacrifice, so she left. And just as it says in that essay, Rumpel was quite obviously the villain in that particular situation. He murdered his wife because she had the audacity to think for herself and live the life she wanted.
Hmm…that rant was a bit longer than I intended, sorry about that! But I think I might be able to enjoy the finale more having gotten it out. 🙂 Less than an hour to go!
