Most people aren't glossing over Regina and Rumple's crimes, tho. I just never liked Milah. She seemed much more concerned with appearances than with actually caring about her child or husband. Sure, he was branded a coward and I'm sure that made her life difficult, but you don't just run away from your problems like that. XD

Regina, Hook and Rumple simply benefit from the fact that we have so much backstory on them, including things that make them a bit more sympathetic.
