Maybe not the right post to ask this question but it’s been part of the discussion here so..
What is it about Belle that everybody likes so much ??
Sure she is a nice girl and all. She says some likeable and agreeable things like “Nobody desides my fate but me”..and such.
But to me, the character is just still kind of flat. The nice girl who likes everyone but always gets taken advantage of and put in captivity, but that doesn’t even bother her it seems. No no ! she forgives and forgets and loooves the people putting her in jails…..I think you are right, the fact that it was Belle made it that much worse. Because she is so naive and innocent hitting her in fairytale land is the equivalent of drowning puppies in our world.
I think you put the finger right on it with the word “campy”
OUaT is a campy show and hook is not a campy character…
… yes they do! Pirates steal, drink and fornicate their way to their grave. (the good life)
anyway, it looks like the debate has morphed into “artistic integrity” VS “pleasing and keeping the viewer”.

I can’t understand for the life of me why even after knowing how the public feels about Hook, you’d slap your fans in the face by killing him off. I don’t appreciate the possibility, and I really don’t appreciate your attitude about it. Once isn’t what it is because of your sponsors, because of your unions, or because of your political back-door deal making with celebrity agents, lawyers and egos. It’s because of the viewers. Oncewatcher is right. Get rid of your tunnel-vision, and work on getting some humility. Maybe a think tank too, because you need it if you can’t think of any new ideas for Hook on your own. Maybe somebody else would be better at doing your job.
Because OUaT is not our show, it ultimately is K&H show… There is nothing we can do about it. Every time we watch the latest episode we trust them to inflame our imagination and take us on a wild ride with our favorite characters. If K&H decides that from now on every single character will jump three times and scream “Waikiki” a the top of their lungs before saying a line, it is their decision and you can either choose to trust their judgement or stop watching the show.
And yes, character eventually run out of breath and storyline, it’s not matter of poor imagination or lack of trying. Just like real life, people fall in and out of different situation. Do you still see all of your high school friends? I know I don’t… why? I have no good reasons for it… It just happened. We move on because a situation no longer is interesting or useful to us.
It hurts a tv show a lot more to keep a character around that has no purpose or storyline except for a halfass scenes every here and there than taking them off the show for good (notice I didn’t use the term “kill”, as I believe there are other ways to take a character off a show) and replace those few halfass scenes with other character development or plot twist.
Do you know what happens when characters run out of breath on a show and the writers don’t have the hearth to take them off the show? They become annoying as hell!
Example:
Kate from LOST (how many times can the writers have her run from sawyer to jack to sawyer again) /
D.r. Foreman and Chase from House (A show about how a sociopath affect the people around him. By the time the eight season came around these two were not even phased by House anymore). /
Serena van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl (The poor pretty Rich blonde girl has self esteem issue… how many season can you milk this story)I just want to put it out there, Cora is completely awesome and badass in my book and she needs to become the show main villain!
a power hungry witch who both our previous villain thought dead… someone give Cora more screen time please!
I’m mostly on board with TheGoldenKey and Gypsy

But what i dont agree with is how people seem so focused on what Hook did, but dont care what Regina and Rumple have done. In my opinion, i think that Regina and Rumple are worse than Hook and have done way worse stuff and caused more pain. Some people say that Hook cant be redeemed, and yet Regina and Rumple can be redeemed despite causing worse harm and pain than Hook.
Please, do tell; What Regina and Rumple did that was worse then hitting and try to kill a defenseless women simply because she was useless to them?
