[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"
Just to throw another theory out there, in some stories, doesn’t the captain of a ship always have the same name, once there is a new captain they are referred to as the old captains name (like the captain before them) so maybe Hook was Eric beforehand but since he had a different identity Adam is playing with words and trying to dupe us 🙂

Yes, that’s what’s been discussed a bit recently in relation to Killian becoming a pirate, that perhaps it was a scenario similar to the Dread Pirate Roberts from The Princess Bride.
Ariel can show him that not all mermaids are the same!
YES!
I don’t know if traditionally all captains have the same name. It was a Princess Bride thing that Dread Piate Roberts was handed down.
I don’t think Hook personally hates mermaids, but he has heard or experienced them as creatures to be wary of, just like people were afraid and hated werewolves. Now that I think about it, if Hook has met Ariel before he does not know she is a mermaid.“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

Do we know for sure that he hasnt met a mermaid?

Hook has to have some passing knowledge of them because he warns Bae about them in ASOTM. I would assume he has at least seen the NL mermaids.

Thats what I was thinking, we know Hook is not to fond of them but we don’t know he hasn’t met one, he may think all mermaids are the same, or has had a bad experience himself with one

I was thinking of it this way, once people meet Red, they don’t have quite the same attitude about were-wolves just being monsters. So if Hook had met Ariel, he wouldn’t dismiss all mermaids as monsters in the water, which is how his line came off. Then again, Red was a pretty notable exception (and I guess Granny too).
I really do see Ariel taking Red’s place in a lot of ways, in terms of whatever story they originally may have planned for Red (other than with Whale….). In terms of her relationship to the others, as a “friend” and as a misunderstood creature of magic, just to clarify this.

I think it’s possible that Ariel has been shunned by the mermaid community and is living an isolated life. Hook may have encountered her sisters and sees them as baddies who will drown you without having met Ariel.

Whatever else in my headcanon has constantly changed, one thing that stayed the same for the most part is that I don’t think he knows she was a mermaid. I imagine him having been friends with her as a human the last time he was in NL, but not finding out until present day that she was a mermaid, and him discovering that messes up their relationship, but he eventually comes to terms with it and accepts her for who she is.
