Maybe discipline isn’t the right word, but Hook still shouldn’t be speaking that way to Emma and Regina’s son. Especially if he has hopes of marrying Emma and being Henry’s step father. It’s what Slurpeez said…he makes a poor father figure because, like Nevermore said, he has the emotional maturity of a frat boy and needs some sensitivity training.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Excalibur has everything to do with the dagger. It was refused with the dagger before he pulled it out of the rock.
No it wasn’t
And in the end, he chooses the side that represents darkness, not both ends. Just the one
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"No, it does not matter if they were peasants or not. Murder is murder. However, the statement “he has to stop killing peasants” sounds like he kills peasants every month or something, while in reality, he HAS killed some innocent people centuries ago, and hasn’t done it since.
We were being humerous because we always joke about peasant killing, be it Rumple, Regina or Hook.
“he used the dagger to kill soldiers” snow and charming killed countless soldiers on screen. so did many heroes on this show.
Actually they haven’t. We rarely see war conflict leading to death from Snow and Charming. Even the “take back the kingdom” story was dramatically reduced to a small handful of episodes in which veryittle, if any, murder was done. This is not say nothing of the very tricky topic of war vs premeditated murder and acceptability (not something I’m sure I personally buy, but something that is far less white and black)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Even if it’s literally out of Henry’s hands, which I agree it is, the boy is still trying to shoulder the responsibility. There’s nothing wrong in hook saying, “Henry I know this is hard. I know I’ve put you in an impossible situation and I’m sorry. I’m grateful to all of you for coming to save me.” What isn’t okay is not softening his criticism, and then spending the rest of the episode sitting around waiting for the 13 yr old to save you. Henry’s being overtaken by a magic pen and maybe the “write Hades story” isn’t going to work as planned? Then don’t gripe, DO SOMETHING. and at the very least, try for some gratititude.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"That don’t do anything to soften the sarcasm, though. Hook gets clued in that Henry is blacking out, literally, and apparently being taken over by Pen-Bob, and no one apologizes. No one is sympathetic. Hook doesn’t take back what he’s said, he doesn’t try to assure Henry that they’ll solve this and he’s grateful that Henry is trying his best, in spite of really bizarre circumstances. What does happen is “looks like we have a teenager on our hands” making Henry out to be emotionally unstable because of age, but not correcting the sass from before.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"It’s one thing to ‘Sparkly Dirt’ Cora (which, still a great line IMO)
Love that line. That kind of sass is welcome.
Narratively, I can understand if it stemmed from a sense of guilt about what he’s done to this kid in general… but at best that makes it seem like he’s acting out on another person what he doesn’t like about himself (not okay) and at worst….. he’s being an oblivious pissant to legitimately the only innocent character in this mess (really really not okay).
Yup.
It’s worth pointing out that this isn’t just Hook. The writers give Regina some questionable lines as well. They are supposed to be sassy but they often come across as cruel and like she’s not actually redeemed (ie: any time she openly threatens Zelena’s life, more in the vein of the EQ)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"RG claims that it isn’t true that one can’t exist without the other (man and beast) but this is the truest statement that has ever been said!
RG claimed no such thing; RG questioned it. Rumple claims that the beast and the man cannot exist without one another.
there is no such thing as “dark” power and there is no such thing as “light” power. there is only power.
Not on this show. Not the way they’ve set it up over the past arc.
(the snail guy – was he even a peasant? and their maid Honora)
Does it honestly matter if they were or were not peasants? Murder is murder no matter the social position.
on the contrary, this dagger is more a symbol of heroism than it is anything else:
He also used the dagger to kill soldiers
5) he pulled Excalibur from the rock
Which had nothing to do with the dagger. He didn’t use the dagger or was even in possession of the dagger when he did this. Excalibur represented the light; the dagger represented the darkness. You need both for a story, for a person. That’s the point of making them connected.
3) tried really hard to give his dagger to his wife even though being controlled scared the wits out of him.
No he didn’t. He created a fake one to give to her so he wouldn’t have to give up the dagger
4) he tried to prevent dying and becoming a dangerous dark-one and when he failed he gave Belle the dagger and sent her away with another man.
He just tried to prevent himself from dying. Nothing about not becoming a dangerous dark-one. He is a dangerous dark one. Just being the dark one means being dangerous because the power is there to tap into.
