I mean I liked the story of Hook being Rumple’s nemesis especially since the whole thing tied back into Peter Pan and Rumple’s relationship in some strange way. I think doing that though did set him up to fail with a whole bunch of fans who are big Rumbelle supporters. Hook may have been able to be a credible villain but he could never have been a credible Rumbellle Villain if not for those actions. The promoted him all wrong he was more of an anti-hero from the beginning and now look he’s been pretty much a full blown hero from the season 2 finale on.
Didn’t I hand pick those moments PoM? (although some see the hitting worse than the shooting) Belle and Rumple fans hate Hook or “prefer him less over characters” and express some pretty strong anti-Hook sentiments over those moments. I wonder though if those moments didn’t happen though how would you see Hook? Would he be any kind of a threat to Rumple otherwise? I’d venture to say it would make him completely unbelievable as a credible villain’s villain.
I think that’s a pretty good assessment, when fans have strong character and ship biases they’re gonna see what they’re emotions dictate first even if it’s a skewed picture. Hook did commit some pretty ruthless acts but I think some fans will include his reasons into how they see him and others only see the acts. Rumple has been pretty evil at times too, remember him threatening the entire Charming family including Henry with death should anything happen to Belle after she was shot? (Archie did give up Belle btw) Hook compare to Rumple is just far less powerful so to oppose him as a rival is more about hurting those around him, taking away his happiness, “hurting his heart” as Hook put it. As far as the crux to this whole thing I look at as we all see the story that’s told based on that we find out what we like about it and what we don’t, we listen to the opinions of others and after all that shuffling around we come to understand what we prefer.
Stelio I agree with all of your last three posts!!! Lol
Thank you 🙂 I’m on like four cups of coffee right now so I’m kind of flying 😛

I am hurt no Snow –
I only put the first five but actually I had a 13 way tie which included Snow and Charming 😉
Stelio, any chance you could do some more RumBelle stuff please? Your last piece was brilliant! Also I think Snowing’s new baby will be a girl since it would add more drama for Emma.
Don’t worry I plan to do more Rumbelle stuff for sure, whenever an idea for one hits me I lock in and make it happen. 🙂 I do have at least four ships to take care of though lol
Do you know this is actually a good point. A lot of Rumbellers love RUMPLE over even over Belle and by extension Neal – naturally, because Rumple and Neal come as a package deal. So they want Neal to get his happy ending more than anything, even to the detriment of other characters (Emma and Killian most notably), and (IMO) put blinders on to the fact that Neal isn’t always a good man. I readily accept that Hook’s past behaviour hasn’t been stellar, but he’s changing NOW and that’s what matters. Neal has exhibited bad behaviour VERY recently – the use of a toddler to bait Pan’s shadow (which I’m still not over not by a long shot).
It’s easy to see how Rumple fans will easily choose to support Neal over Hook. Neal like you said is a package deal with Rumple, so who would they rather support? Rumple’s former rival or his only son?
