"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"ZOUAT is one of the best analogies ever.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"This is SOOOO where they are going with this

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"And I’ll be you anything that A and E would think it super clever to have Dorothy, the girl who wears the Ruby slippers in one of the most famous movies of all time, fall in love with a girl named Ruby.
And because Oz is “somewhere over the rainbow.” *groan*
Oh god.*groan*
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"By the way, out of curiousity, what are hooks father abandionment issues? Are they as bad as peter pan? Or as bad as Jafar? What have these writers DONE to their beautiful show, what?? Hook is now a poor dear who was brutally abandoned?
Hook’s father was on the run with this sons, decided he was better off running alone and sold his two boys to a ships captain. He then, somehow, fell into a sleeping curse, was awakened by TLK of some random nurse whom he later married, had a third son (Liam 2.0) with, all before the nurse died. Hook killed his father.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Which one sounds better guys….WarriorWolf or GaleWarrior?
The former. But I think their official ship name is Mulan Rouge. (which, I will admit, is really clever)
bet is Dorothy and Ruby, both characters are not very important in disney universe,
Yes there is that. Disney owns the new Oz the Great and Powerful movie and everything in that, but WB owns the 1939 classic movie, which has a majority of the well known images like the Ruby Slippers, a Green Skinned Witch (Disney changed the green for their own movie), and how the Emerald city looked.
Little Red Riding Hood might be intellectual property? Given how old it is?
But neither of them are strictly tied to the Disney-verse

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"But from the writing perspective, OUAT has now saddled itself with two extremely similar characters, so they’re either stuck in the position of having to go the simplistic route of “this one GOOD, this one BAD”, or to have redundant storylines.
Yes, especially now that both of them have sacrificed their lives for the town/people they love. When Rumple died, it was only Belle (true love) and Nealfire (son) who tried to bring back Rumple. But they love him more than anyone. With Hook, however, it’s the whole gang, from Emma (the girlfriend) to her parents Snow and Charming, even to Regina and Robin. Everyone was willing to let Rumple stay dead, Emma refused to let Rumple bring back Neal because “he died a hero, don’t take that away from him” but for the pirate it’s “not fair to Killian” to let him die/stay dead. The implication being that Hook is far more worthy to be alive than either Rumple and/or Neal.
And of course, having Rumple be the Dark One AGAIN when he had just become a hero and pulled Excalibur is A and E’s not so subtle way of saying that Rumple is just a black hat, always going to be a black hat, and nothing more.
We actually discussed this particular trope in regard to the HP fandom last week. I seem to be seeing it more often, this issue for HP of Weasley-bashing and Slytherin-worshiping.
Yes we did 🙂
I think a lot of it has to do with time and distance. There are no more books, but people keep re-reading and are now influenced by new stories, movies, and TV that more and more are heroizing the villains/antiheroes to an absurd extent. People start to see the flaws in Ron and make them his defining characteristic instead of just part of a nuanced and complicated person. And vice versa, people see a few good (noble) traits in Draco and begin to make those traits everything Draco is, while forgetting how the horrible cruelty he inflicted over the years.
In my opinion, if the showrunners had gone with their original story, then Hook would have also had this role.
I will always wonder if the writers intended Hook to die in NVL. It keeps with original Barrie canon and it would make sense for the man who sold Bae to Pan to give his life ensuring that Bae’s son got home. It would be circular.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"For it to not be Mulan now would feel out of left field. They had her play the pronoun game in Bear King so that the unsuspecting audience (who has amnesia obviously) will be Super! Shocked! when Mulan reveals that she likes girls out loud for the first time. The question, I think, is who her partner is. Ruby or Dorothy or someone else?
I’m curious just how they’re going to reveal it, because Adam and Eddy have been clear about not wanting the media to over hype it as “a very special episode of Once Upon a Time.” They apparently feel that this is a story that should be treated as if its normal, to reflect on the way the world is now.
Yeaaaaah I wouldn’t trust that A and E have the same definition of what a “special” episode entails as we do. I mean, they keep having her play the pronoun game or not definitely say (in universe) that Mulan was in love with Aurora for this reason. So that when Mulan comes out, it’s shocking and buzzworthy and gets trending on Twitter. They’ll say it’s not a “very special episode” because they’ve been hinting at it for several seasons and the episode itself was (probably) not all about Mulan’s sexuality. But I don’t think they are going to pass up having Mulan have a “I’m coming out” Diana Ross moment.
