My two cents on what everyone is saying: I feel like certain people are pooping on Hook while elevating Neal, when really the characters are more similar the longer you compare them. They both like Emma romantically, they are both from the EF, they both spent alot of time in Neverland, they both stayed the same age for a long period of time, they both have issues with their fathers, they both have issues with Rumple, they were both orphaned (figurativly speaking), they both have issues with Peter Pan, they both met Henry, Snow, and David at around the same time, and they both are morally grey (Neal may be not quite as grey, but he still ditched a woman he loved and let her go to jail for a crime he commited, because a random guy knew who he was; as well as commited lots of other petty crimes). I get they are not the same character, but they do have a large number of similarites, and it's kind of funny how people react to them so differently.
