Ok, lol.

First, I totally agree with being angry at Hook for shooting Belle, I was really shocked when that happend, I thought from the commercial he was going to end up shooting Rumple. But I'm not really picking a side, I like the both characters, I'm just always confliced over things they do, cuz one minute they're all dashing and the next their super mean! lol. When I started this discussion, this was what I meant, like, why are people all of a sudden "hating" Hook and jumping to Rumple's side?

I absolutly love PotC and Jack Sparrow, so of course I would find some similarities between them (excluding the liner, and get up, I'm talking personality). So just cuz Hook's a pirate, doesn't mean he's evil in the sense of that which we've seen on the show (Regina, Cora, Rumple). I'm not saying Hook can't be a bad guy, I'm not cheering on bad things he does (like taking Aurora's heart), I just think there's more layers to him than just villian or good guy. Maybe I just really want him to end up being good, lol, but analyzing his character from what we've seen so far, he seems more deep than people give him credit for. i.e- he did save Aurora's heart from being lost through space and time, granted he said he always wants a fair fight, but he seemed to only take the heart in the first place as a bargaining tool. Even if Cora had destroyed it somewhere along the way, I feel like that would have affected him, because of what happened to Milah. Which is why I also don't think he aimed to kill Belle at the town line. Which also goes along with, when he was going to kill her back in FL, he knocked her out first. Ok, now I'm not saying I support the guy killing people, but it does seem like he never wants to give them pain. So, I link him to Sparrow, because they're both pirates who seem to have a complicated past, they both have done despicable things, yet (we don't know yet for Hook, but hopefully) they both are technically good.
